无限血核

An amazing novel, a well-designed world and lively characters. Anyone who is familiar with the author's previous work will see in this new novel, the style of writing RI (tense atmosphere throughout the arc and a grand ending) 5/5

Alright. Just finished Book 1.
Here are my quick thoughts.
Overall, I liked it. It's not my favorite book, but it was very interesting in it's own way. It often felt like a historical documentary, which is what the author was going for.
A very unique experience, I would say.
I look forward to the next book.


Here are my pros and cons.
Pros:
• The translation, editing, and language is fantastic. Reads like a dream.
• The world setting is well thought out and believable. You can tell the author did a ton of fantasy/medieval research. Honestly, it's a great period peace.
• The characters feel realistic and appropriate for the setting. No awkward or out of place dialogue.
• The MC's powers are cool once he starts using them. I hope we see them get even cooler in the next book.

Cons:
• The MC is a frustrating edge lord sometimes. He whines about how evil and monsterous he is, but he's not. At all. He is an incredibly innocent and naive person, and maybe I could understand him if his powers had downsides, but they don't.
His powers already exist in the world, druids exist and can shapeshift. But he moans about being a monster for being able to do the same. It's literally no different. It's a real bad case of "Shinji, get in the f#cking robot." If you get me?
• It can be a very tedious at times. Like, 15+ chapters spent on fashioning bows from lumber or trudging through an empty desert. This happens a lot.
• At a certain point in the novel, you are forced to read through the novel again. But with a different character's perspective. Twice. Three reads in total.
A bit much imo.
• Not really a con, but I wish there was more excitement. More color. It can feel a bit gray and slow at times.

Where next chap !?

This new work of Gu Zhen Ren is absolutely amazing. Unlike most web novels the story doesn't just explode in your face, it is slowly unveiled layer by layer from multiple perspectives and pasts of story's characters.

For those who are thinking of reading it, I would suggest you to try first 60 chapters before deciding further.

NOOO a romantic plot??? WHYYY??? AUTHOR JUST WHY??? Why did you do us like this...No harem please, that is the least you could do.

You were so amazing before, hope this live up to your legendary name!

Hidden gold! A fascinating story without nonsense, characters, environment, intrigues - everything is on top
The story is slow, but it's worth it, it's a real adventure

Im actually disappointed i thought Gu Zhen Ren could make another masterpiece
