Honkai Impact 3rd: Reversal to Zero

I started following the series from the first book, and only after a while did I realize that Jiabei had switched to this one, so I started reading from this one as well. I have to say, many details from the first book that I felt were flawed or could be revised were still untouched. Finally, let me talk about the chapter I read tonight. To be honest, I didn't like it at all. The protagonist is supposed to be someone who has fought across thousands of miles, someone who once single-handedly defeated a million soldiers. Even the most cowardly person, after experiencing so much, would develop an extreme disdain for life and death. Or perhaps, even the most cowardly person, after experiencing so much, would cultivate a kind of pride, believing that only death in battle is acceptable, not living on one's knees. Or, like me, someone extremely single...

The doubled updates feel off; the plot is still heart-wrenching, but the recent additions are increasingly boring. I remember in the previous book, the captain, upon transmigrating, had a clear goal: carrying the warehouse and game storyline memories, he ventured into the city and descended into the abyss. Although weak, he was at least dashing and able to calmly strategize. Now, he just seems cowardly and timid. As a game player transmigrated into this world, his behavior towards minor enemies is shocking; he doesn't even seem like a transmigrator at all, more like a native with a warehouse cheat encountering a Honkai event. If the doubled updates were intended to show the protagonist's gradual growth, that wouldn't be impossible—after all, it's been through several...

Birth, aging, sickness, and death; unfulfilled desires; resentment and hatred; separation from loved ones... Since we cannot avoid them, let us choose to appreciate them... Love and hate, bitterness and separation, tears mingled with unwavering words, words short yet deep; the lamplight dims, a glance lasts a lifetime... Love without regret, thoughts without bitterness, tears without trace, knowing the path yet not turning back, this life without regret... This life without solution... Loving you... Sorrow fills the sky... What is there to say about peaceful years... It's just that someone has shouldered everything for you... Misunderstood me... --Ship...

Ah…listen…it's…that's right…no sound…no sound at all…What is it? Love? Copy and paste, copy and paste…We eke out a living in this endless darkness…The sky…is our last supper…What are we? Once upon a time…what were we? Ah…look there…that child…he's crying…why is he crying? Doesn't the heavens cry? No…he has no feelings…What are feelings? When all things discover…destruction won't bring them survival…when they accept this bubble and leap onto it…when they need a great proof of their existence…there is none…

I haven't watched the rest of the tutorial yet, but seeing the part where Limi introduces the dorm made me think that Limi should definitely be the main heroine. Although her initial actions towards the Captain were purposeful, her later behavior was much better than the other three starter characters; at least she was much gentler than them. (Don't mention Mei; Mei is like what Hachiman said about disliking gentle people, and Limi's gentleness hasn't even been defined yet. And in the later room sleeping incident, it's clear that Limi would agree to the Captain's requests that aren't too unreasonable. I suspect she'd even agree if the Captain were a little forceful and asked her to be his body pillow (ಡωಡ)). The other three starter characters spend far more time with the Captain than Limi...

Here comes the mischief, just a heads-up, this isn't NTR content. Emptiness, loneliness, I can't feel anything. How long has this been going on? My soul… how long has it been drifting like this…? (Jizo kicks him with the Wish Chess move.) "Hiss…" The excruciating pain made me hiss, my whole body felt like it was about to split apart… and it really did. "Master! You're awake." "Judas, stay away from him!" "Huh? Why?" Jizo, who was about to sit down, suddenly changed his expression and cried out in surprise. I opened my eyes. My current physical condition prevented me from moving, but thankfully my will was strong enough to…

"The girls you can't forget, you can't live without them anymore..." To be honest, Jizo's words really resonated with me. "Like" and "love"—such simple words, yet so difficult to express. Two people meet, understand each other, and enjoy every little detail of their ordinary lives. After Jizo's guidance, does the Valkyrie love the Captain? Or does she love the person who holds hearts? Both are Captains, yet neither is a Captain; their essences are different. Love without purpose (love without regrets)—Captains who have played Honkai Impact 3 should understand their charm and strengths, see every little detail of them...

Today, March 14, 2020, the latest chapter is "Negotiation." I'm back with another plot analysis (just kidding!). I'll post the analysis in the group first, and then share it on Pineapple Bun after the update, to avoid people using my lack of updates as an excuse to get even more obsessed with the 27-year-old Mei's immense evil. Group members, please bear witness! In the previous analysis, I mentioned that I'd be looking at Xuan-Yuan Sword in later chapters, and sure enough, it's appearing now, pretty much as predicted, fused with the Captain. However, it's more like being completely controlled by the Captain. It seems the Harmony of the Holy Strings isn't a one-time thing; once it's activated, it can be used continuously...

Ahem, ahem, just popping in to say hi before getting kicked out of the group... Where to begin? Let me first tell those who aren't in the group about the settings I mentioned in the group. According to my settings, although the names are the same as the main body, the things the Captain takes out of the warehouse are actually different from those in Honkai Impact 3. And they can coexist, like the weapon currently held by Judah (named by the Captain) and Theresa. It's worth mentioning that after I mentioned it, the true Crimson Wings will appear—warning: knives will be involved. I won't say too much, just read on. Back to the main topic, I've added new settings to the Divine Keys in the warehouse; the zeroth key of the Cross has already been revealed...

Please, old thief, update soon! I've already rewatched the previous episodes three times.
