The Best Way to Defeat a Monster Is to Become One

That year, I was 9 and she was 11. I told her I would marry her someday, and she playfully replied, "Okay!" That year, I was 12 and she was 14. She was a head taller than me. I looked up and told her I liked her. She listened intently, speechless, then turned away, refusing to look at me again. That year, I was 18 and she was 20. I had been carrying cement on construction sites for a year, while she was still attending a prestigious university. I could no longer bring myself to say I liked her, because I felt I was unworthy of her. I kept the words I wanted to say to myself, waiting until I was worthy of her to tell her everything. For the next four years, I never had the chance to see her again...

In this dark environment filled with gigolos, transgender characters, and submissive protagonists, you rose from the shadows, bringing me a glimmer of warmth. I hope you will burn away this unreasonable distortion like wildfire. (The current mainstream is ridiculous; it's all about gigolos, transgender characters, and submissive protagonists. This reminds me of a famous satirical saying: "Those who offend the majesty of China, oh dear, how annoying!") Tsk tsk, CCTV is currently cracking down on those effeminate idols. If it weren't for Mr. Cai's donation, they would have been finished long ago. I recently saw some shameful guy who cried and screamed about going to the hospital after only a tiny cut on his finger. They're all aiming to be like the male concubines of ancient times...

First of all, let me preface this by saying that although I gave it a perfect score, this is a completely subjective negative review and rant, intended to vent my personal dissatisfaction. If you're easily offended, please skip this. When I first read this book, I was, without exaggeration, completely blown away. In a time when moe and whimsical stories are all the rage, finding a work that truly immerses the reader is rare. So, knowing the author stated this wasn't a "transformation" story, I immediately made a purchase without finishing the later chapters. But I honestly didn't expect it to fall apart later on. To put it simply, after entering the magic chapters, the book's problems, lacking captivating elements, slowly became apparent. The narrative was too chaotic...

First of all, as an episodic horror novel, each story is quite exciting... But episodic writing shouldn't be like this... The pacing is too fast, the plot is too scattered, it completely drags the reader along without leaving any room for thought, making the writing very dull. I know the author has too much to say and doesn't know where to start, but it's better to take it step by step, rather than trying to do everything at once. In fact, based on my years of experience, a novel written like this is already a disaster, although it hasn't shown up yet, it will definitely get worse as it goes on. But don't be discouraged, author, recent years of online novels...

To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in this type of novel. Of course, it's not the novel's fault, but rather my own preference. I first saw it on my bookshelf, and then clicked on it out of curiosity. Below, I'll share my personal experience with this book. Please forgive any disagreements or misunderstandings, as I haven't read many of these types of novels and don't know much about the subject, so I ended up having to look it up on Baidu while reading. First, the ghost story book next to An Long...

I never imagined supernatural stories could be written like this before. It's truly remarkable how the author has managed to balance suspense and lightheartedness so well! (I've never seen anything like this before; they're either oppressive and immersive, or lighthearted and don't seem so dangerous. Of course, there are some very good ones, but I've never seen this type before.) The imagination in this novel is... Well... I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's incredibly imaginative. I'll have to see how the author fills in the plot holes later on (^~^). Personally, I'm really looking forward to it. Good luck, author!

This book was originally very well written, with a good subject matter, but the author pulled away too quickly in the middle, and the world-building suddenly expanded, which made the reading experience unpleasant.

This book is quite good. It blends fantasy with eeriness and horror, has a good writing style, and a clear plot. I really like the female protagonist's abyssal will setting, and the ghost story part has a Cthulhu feel, which is quite novel. The later part about the immortals is also intriguing. It's quite good among similar novels, especially considering the current trend of "pineapple buns" (a type of Chinese dessert), this book is a refreshing take. I hope the author can maintain this level of quality. It's okay to take breaks; I've seen all the top-tier authors out there. Just try to maintain the quality and get some rest. I don't have much money, so I might only give occasional tips, but I'll definitely have monthly tickets. Personally, I just wish... Please don't get married, please don't get married, please don't get married...

Is Shan Baijia married?

I have a slight fever, so I'll be taking a break today.
