Time Collapse Function: ZERO

Having finished reading *The Time Collapse Function*, I was deeply moved and felt compelled to share my thoughts. This work, told from Xu Sheng's perspective, presents us with an absurd, desperate, yet intriguing world. As with any novel, its worldview is naturally abnormal, a point that needs no further elaboration (after all, we must recognize the difference between the real world and fiction); and for Xu Sheng, isn't the predetermined fate a form of powerless despair? (I'll leave this as is, waiting for the author to prove me wrong); and the reader's "interest" comes from witnessing Xu Sheng's struggles and the resulting...

Hello everyone, this is Ueno Byakuya, Runa's brother... Uh, mainly because I don't have a SF account, so I'm borrowing my sister's account to post this, which is more like a reading reflection than a book review. I don't want to talk about the whole story, but just volume five, specifically the short story "The First Second of Eternity Vanished." I've been following this book for a while now, and since starting my senior year of high school, I haven't really had time to reread it. But even just these roughly 20,000 words, I've read them over and over again. The New Concept Writing Competition has started again this year, and when I picked up my pen, I thought of this story again. As I began to write...

Action-packed novels, how to describe them? In short, they're exhilarating, incredibly thrilling, and a blend of excitement and heartwarming moments. "Action-packed" means stirring the heart and getting excited. Elements that trigger this excitement typically include friendship, family, love, ideals, pursuit, dedication, courage, resilience, and profound thoughts. They often have an inspirational message and are suitable for a teenage audience. However, nowadays, more and more young people also enjoy action-packed novels because they provide a very satisfying experience. My personal favorite action-packed work, without a doubt, ranks number one: One Piece, the story of a young boy who ultimately becomes king, our goal is the stars...

This is a remarkably good novel. At least it's the best book I've read recently. The author's pacing is excellent, the information is presented logically with minimal redundancy. The reading flow is superb compared to most works. Of course, this doesn't mean the author's writing is flawless; continuous improvement is essential for growth. What I like most about this novel is its use of story to explain the setting, rather than simply presenting the world-building. The timeline-based narrative doesn't feel confusing; I think the author's organizational and narrative skills are very strong. Furthermore...

According to internal sources, the author is preoccupied with graduate studies and will be able to resume his studies once he has a stable job.

Time inside the perpetual motion machine is infinite, so the time of the people inside is also infinite. In other words, the moment Aina was swallowed by the perpetual motion machine, everything from her past to her end happened, and Xu Sheng only saw a fragment presented to him by the perpetual motion machine. But in this world, neither Xu Sheng nor Fang Datong were by Aina's side, and Xu Sheng's three meetings had no impact on Aina's life (the Fourth Prince... He's probably going to die). This means that Xu Sheng or Fang Datong don't exist in this world at all, so her ending should deviate from the ending of the Quantum Ghost, or perhaps this is already the perpetual motion machine using infinite...

[Light Novel Review] Commentator: Long time no see, Captain! I'm the Captain. Let's skip the small talk and get straight to the point. This week's review is of Chen's *High School Alchemist Will Never Have a Harem*. When I picked up this book, I thought, "This title sounds familiar, but will the content be a mixed bag?" My worries weren't unfounded. Three minutes after opening it, I turned off my phone screen and silently shed tears, all the while pondering how to complete this review. The work can't be simply described as terrible. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "mysterious." Yes, mysterious—mysterious commentary, mysterious plot development, mysterious details...

[Foreword: This discussion will not focus on the story itself, but rather on aspects beyond it.] "Good novels are good myths. Novels should be constructed, expressed, and understood according to their own logic. The essence of myth is, in fact, a rebellion against the logic of nature, reality, and experimentation. It refuses to accept this 'truth' that is given to us at birth. This world exists with its own values, logic, and reasons. You cannot experience it, but you can feel it and experience it. The authenticity of your feelings tells you that the existence of this world is undeniable." This passage is from the pen of the late Wang Anyi, and I have always regarded this quote as...

Because Qingdian's previous review was quite biased, as a reader who greatly enjoys this book, I cannot fully accept his views. The purpose of this review is to vindicate this book from a reader's perspective. Perhaps this is presumptuous of me, but since the die is cast, I have no choice but to do my best, despite my limited knowledge. First, even if I'm reluctant, I must admit that Qingdian's comments on this book do have some merit. Therefore, I will address Qingdian's points one by one. The first paragraph is about the descriptions. As a layman, I shouldn't comment too much, but my personal thoughts are...

Every reader has their own thoughts, so what I say is only one perspective. Please read it yourself. This book review is just a reflection. Because I've recently read many books that don't suit my taste, my standards have lowered, so when I see something I like, I write praise. ( ) Conclusion: It's really great, worth learning from. The following are arguments supporting this conclusion: I'm not an expert on writing techniques, just a reader, but I still assert that Chen is no longer the same Chen. Because I've read his first volume, in fact, after reading the remastered HD 2.0 version of the first volume, I was also somewhat skeptical...
