The Last Elf

This novel is very realistic, and it resonated with me deeply. The theories are clearly presented, without any forced brainwashing or intellectual degradation. It contains satirical allegory while also demonstrating human compassion. I suspect the author wrote this novel more as a sharing than flattery, and judging from the content, the author clearly put a lot of effort into it. I hope more people will see this novel, as far as too few people have read it.

Why is such a great work buried in a grave?!

Seeing the word "new" made me think it had been updated, but when I opened it, it was nothing.

Ah, it's been cancelled... I really want to say, "If only I had known it would be so heartbreaking, I would never have met you," but those who play for free don't seem to have that right?! Elf is a breath of fresh air in the SF world—not a shut-in, not formulaic, not trying to be cute—truly rare. The novel reflects reality, and you can also see the author's reflections on loneliness. I love this vivid and relatable novel; it's a pity it was cancelled, but I'll still look forward to the author's next book! Hill's story continues; life is like a journey, and we are all just travelers.

Just by looking at the biography, you can tell it's Old Zhou Shuren (Zhou Shuren).

The battle description is absolutely brilliant, how did you do that?!

This is my first time writing a long review. Although I've only finished the first volume, it's already enough to illustrate many points. My first impression is its realism; there aren't many illogical or unnatural elements, making you curious about what will happen next rather than predicting it from the start. The protagonist's inner thoughts, actions, and choices are consistent with the role of a lone elf, without any exaggeration or overly naivety. Secondly, it doesn't pile up concepts; setting up is something that should be done in moderation, the key is the plot. Speaking of the plot, the story's coherence is quite good; at least it doesn't feel like many rambling, disjointed narratives where you can skip large sections and still read perfectly. Additionally, in my personal opinion...

Five years, five years. Do you know how I've spent these five years? Sweeping tombs.

A year later, I returned to sweep the tombs.

She was raising her, raising her, and then she died! I was expecting a climax coming up. I really wanted to see this book finish, because the world-building is truly grand and captivating. But since the author has decided to write a new book, I can only support them (giving up your own daughter must be a painful experience). I hope the next book will capture the feeling the author wants.
