This novel has promise, but it falls short due to its limited length – just 52 chapters. The premise of a woman with a terminal illness seeking to end her life but miraculously surviving thanks to a remnant from the Supreme Venerable Sovereign intrigued me. I particularly enjoyed the unique plot twist where she becomes part of a magical troupe, particularly as a host, especially in the context of the entertainment industry. However, the storyline lost its appeal when it deviated from this path and focused on a variety show. There were missed opportunities to delve deeper into certain aspects, as if the author intended to add more excitement but failed to maintain the intrigue.
I initially hoped for a more profound exploration of her journey as a host, gradually uncovering the world of cultivation. Unfortunately, the narrative turned into a typical entertainment novel, which was a disappointment. Additionally, there was no clear resolution on the relationship between the protagonist and Lu Lanxiao; their connection seemed more hinted at than fully developed. It would have been better if the male lead, a 19-year-old college sophomore, were slightly older, perhaps around 21 or 23, to create a more balanced dynamic.
In summary, while the initial concept was intriguing, the execution and pacing let the story down, preventing it from reaching its full potential.
The beginning of the story is promising, but unfortunately, it falters significantly towards the end. The protagonist, a transmigrator from the 21st century, finds herself in a room identical to the one where she passed away, complete with a computer for online shopping. She can bring items from this space into her real life, including a book that loosely connects to her new reality (though not a major focus). Despite being intelligent, she lacks practical skills beyond manipulation.
The male lead (ML) possesses multiple personalities due to his traumatic past. After being locked in a freezing woodshed and later sold to an abusive family, he developed distinct personalities - a six-year-old coping mechanism, a psychopath obsessed with dieting, and a quiet, depressed adult. One personality, the main one, tries to navigate his painful experiences.
A crucial plot point involves the first personality's creation, which occurred when he was falsely accused of theft and developed a fever, leading to the second personality. The third personality emerged as a defense mechanism during his mistreatment.
Initially, the story showcases the protagonist's adjustment to her new environment. However, her lack of practical skills becomes apparent, as she struggles to contribute meaningfully to the family, apart from providing goods through her mysterious space. The narrative takes a downturn as the extra personalities fade, and the ML seeks revenge on those who wronged him.
Unfortunately, the author seems to run out of ideas after the main character unites his personalities, resulting in a rushed conclusion. The final chapters feel like a hasty resolution, rehashing events like their missed wedding, apologies from a relative, pregnancy, exams, and a brief glimpse of their future, including the ML starting a business and the original female lead and ML joining him.
For fans of well-structured "Into the 70s" stories or those with satisfying endings, this particular tale falls short. It's not a recommendation.
The genre keywords provided are misleading, as the story primarily revolves around drama and tragedy, followed by action. The harem element should not be included, as this isn't a traditional regression novel. Instead, it shares similarities with the author's previous work, focusing on the intricate psychology of the main character in a more nuanced and character-driven manner.
However, the narrative structure, being presented as a log, may initially feel unique but somewhat dull. If you're seeking a binge-read with gripping cliffhangers, this might not be your cup of tea, as there aren't many plot twists in the conventional sense.
The plot centers on the protagonist's escalating madness, which aligns well with the title. It quickly becomes apparent that the story is not about saving the world, but rather delving into the MC's deteriorating mental state and the messed-up post-apocalyptic world they inhabit, with its array of distorted individuals and creatures.
In a way, the world-building echoes "The City of Terror," where dreams, thoughts, and beliefs manifest eerily in reality, but here, the emphasis is on the protagonist's psychological journey.
Everyone it's a very sad news to share that our dear author has passed away. ???
Klein also kind of gets lucky with how quick they are to assume positive stuff about him. One of the characters hears him mention some fallen god and immediately assumes Klein must be a god as well because Klein “spoke casually”

Keep writing. The story is going well so far. The logics and new topics are out of my imagination. I want to see where it ends. The fighting sceane was freaking awesome. And the changing of POV time to time makes it easy to understand the plots better
The book does carry a lot of depth and grit. Had me hooked ?
