I Believe in Giving Up, Like No Longer Human

[Light Novel Review] Commentator: Guozi, it seems most of my reviews of other people's writing are negative. This might be related to the fact that I myself am a person with a dark personality, negative thoughts, narrow-mindedness, arrogance, and an aura of negativity. So I often ask myself: Is my tendency to give more negative evaluations simply due to my own values? However, I think that "evaluation" is inherently subjective, so it's better to express one's thoughts frankly. After all, ultimately, "good" and "bad" are...

Behind the rapid updates lies the burning of the last glimmer of light. This book, including the side stories, is now complete. Thank you for your support. We'll meet again someday.

[Foreword] This is the first time I've seriously examined a light novel with a critical eye. My personal thoughts on light novels can be described as follows: the writing structure of light novels differs from traditional novels. Traditional novels tend to present their true meaning in a roundabout and hidden way, while light novels are often full of passion. Behind the noisy and lively atmosphere of light novels, there is also a quiet and powerful nobility, which is not easy to find. When I saw the table of contents of the light novel "I, Who Advocate Giving Up, Am Like a Human Disqualified," I was honestly quite surprised. The atmosphere created by the title and chapter headings made me hesitate a bit...

I think it's best to evaluate campus-themed novels from these aspects: Plot-wise: Meeting more people worth not giving up on, encountering more things worth not giving up on, and becoming a truly human being. Only such people have value and meaning in their existence. —That's my understanding of this book. Character-wise: Yi Sheji: A dual identity, a novelist and a high school student. While he's said to advocate giving up, I think it's precisely because the protagonist adheres to his principles that he won't abandon them for external things. And he loves to show off (laughs). Liu Yan: This kid is an incurable pervert and idiot. He's responsible for the comedic effect...

I didn't give you a perfect score so I could spur you on... No, I mean, encourage you... Yes, encourage you. And you, always writing so sloppy stuff, still have the nerve to criticize me? You even crammed in my "I'm urging you to update" joke – only a pro could think like that! The longer you drag it out, the more you want to procrastinate. If you're lacking inspiration, can't you at least try to find some? (Shut up, don't mention games to me). Anyway, the main story can't be left unfinished, but adding some side stories or easter eggs would be even better. And then there's what I've been saying all along: focus on the writing style and characters. I still recommend starting with detailed descriptions; using subtle details or the coherence of character actions to flesh out the characters or foreshadow future developments are all excellent choices...

The writing is quite good; the characters are well-developed, and foreshadowing is plentiful. Many side stories seem insignificant but are actually coherent. It seems like there are many female leads introduced, but so far there are only four. Three more are being introduced in subsequent stories, and it feels like the author could write until next year. Is the author a university student? The writing style is truly outstanding. However, I only read a few chapters; I finished the book in three days. A brief review doesn't reveal much. What truly captivated me was the narrative style, reminiscent of "Daisy Master," and the author's own unique style...

This book will be completed at the end of this month. After that, updates will no longer be locked. The author will be inactive for a long time afterward; see you again someday. That's all.

I've given up on writing novels because I feel that using words as a medium has significant limitations. While I don't dislike writing novels, I wouldn't say I particularly enjoy it either; I have many things to do later. If you like this book, I hope you'll read it patiently to the end. Thank you for your support, and see you again sometime.

As mentioned in my previous review, I felt the book's chapter order was problematic. After reading the last 50 pages today, I finally discovered the contradictions. First, the book is written in the first person, which has the advantage of strong immersion. I must say, the emotional control is quite good, making it a very enjoyable read. However, these two issues significantly diminish this effect: 1. The chapter order: the author deliberately moves some content from one chapter to the next. While the first point isn't too significant, it's incredibly confusing when combined with the second. 2. The language and actions don't immediately reveal who is speaking. The author leaves clues that are all in the first person, especially when only a few main characters are mentioned.

Hello everyone! I'm Lingjiang! You probably still don't understand, right...? I'm just a background character. Thanks to Mr. [The author's name] for his previous kindness, I'm writing this book review in response to him. Originally, I wanted to give it nine stars to get revenge for all the harassment he caused me... However, after reading the book, I still gave it a perfect score (applause). Why? Because this book actually eased my frustration and dissatisfaction; after reading it, everything felt peaceful... I must say, Mr. [The author's name] truly lives up to his reputation; he can be a human shield in words and a punching bag in deeds! He's practically a great helper to the Seventh Group! ♪—O (≧∇≦) O—♪ Life is uneventful, which is indeed lacking in highlights, but that's also the biggest highlight...
