I am God我就是神

Good read, though third part is unnecessary.

Most of the stories in 1st & 2nd eras follow mortals who embark on journey to acquire supernatural power. These characters usually receive anywhere from five to a dozen chapters; the more chapters they get, the more severe the problems they face. We see their origin, premise of their journey, the central conflict, and either a partial or complete resolution. Later, they reappear in other characters pov as mentors, friends, enemies, and so on. Occasionally we also get the mc perspective and his musings. When the 2nd era hits, additional perspectives appear from characters who survived the 1st era and became gods.

The only real difference between 1st & 2nd eras perspectives and those in the 3rd is length. In the 3rd, instead of following a character for about a dozen chapters, we follow him for 150+. And by around chapter 50 all his mortality is pretty much gone since he’s treated as a god. He may not possess divine power and still sees himself as human, but that matters little when everyone else view him as a godlike existence and he has to play along.

In the afterword, author says that 3 eras are written from different perspectives (1st: creator, 2nd: gods, 3rd: mortals) but nah. 1st feels like the era of mortals, since it has the least gods. The 2nd like creator era, bcs he spends more time traveling and observing the world, with more perspectives either from him or from those closely connected to him. The 3rd is gods, since the protagonist functions as a godlike figure for far longer than he ever does as a mortal.
