I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the first.”

“Where’s the contradiction?”

“If you never lie, why don’t you believe what you say?”

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, I don’t consider myself a human being.”

“???”



Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheng Shi. The very same Cheng Shi who never deceives.

What, you haven't heard of me?

No worries, it's simply because I haven't deceived you yet.

Soon you'll remember me.

    The foolish act had no answers after all. I was already entertaining how the end would be at around ch800~1000 all the clues are there you really read into it. Story and buildup is 10/10 but the ending was not really satisfactory or good in my opinion. The story was built around the ending so there was no other ending that was possible without creating a lot of logic holes.

    We're all foolish in the end.

    Despite that, i confidently say that this novel deserves a read. It's laced with comedy, as our mc being the whole circus, yet full of thrill and sappy times. Every character is fleshed out, in a way that they all were given time to evolve, even our mc. Even for the 'villains', you'll find yourself sympathizing and understanding.

    Overall, please give this novel a try. If it suits you, you won't regret it.

    "do you think your foolish act has an answer?"

    It is a good story.
    it contains a question, and even an answer, as any 'good' story should.
    But of course the questions is foolish. So answer is the same.

    But for a story... it is fine? after all an act of a clown doomed to be foolish from the start.
    Fate of [Fate] is tragic, lies of [deceit] are absurd, chaos of [chaos] is outrageous, silence of [silence]... ...hourglass will turn again, and [birth] will give a birth. many times.
    I will stop here.


    But it is "a bit" long. not in a sense that there unnecessary parts per-see.
    And it somehow still missing some meaningless parts. Alas, to write it all in a reasonable timespan it is an extremely good choice of script.
    But it is still long. Like if you see just the chapter number, you would not expect it to be so long.
    At least that is my feeling.

    I've reached 200 chapters, I still haven't understood why all the gods want him, yes I understand he's intelligent but that's not enough, but still you'll find endless chapters of him arguing with everyone even with walls and always winning, there's never any tension, he's the typical protagonist, but there are no op powers but only endless discussions, it's like watching a D&D game of everyone talking for hours and hours without ever a fight, just talking and talking without anything else

    This is one of the best written stories I’ve read in the past few years, and I’ve read a lot. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but the author definitely wrote this very well. I usually don’t like these types of novels with this genre, but this is unique. The characters are well developed and likeable, and by the end there are many good characters to remember. Even though I highly dislike the ending
    , the author is a complete genius. Like up there with the author I Eat Tomatoes, and I love LOTM as my favorite novel. Of course he might be a genius and this might be brilliantly written but this might not be for everyone. You need a little patience and focus to enjoy this, since this is complex, and only if you try to understand what you’re reading will you enjoy it. Maybe a few months ago when I was enjoying cultivation novels, I might’ve not enjoyed this the same since in those novels you usually seek quick joys (I’ll probably go back to cultivation novels soon). Many plot points were very complex, and I even commented my confusion if anyone notices, but I still enjoyed it, especially when the answers show up. I especially loved the trials, and I liked the divine meetings after the trials much less but even that didn’t stop me from reading on. My favorite trial is probably that time trial,
    . But near the ending, when trials were no longer meaningful, near the beginning I slowly lost a little interest, but thankfully (and sadly) I continued till end, because it really was a masterpiece. It was really despairing and sad, and I even hoped there would be an asspull ending but the author really didn’t want to pollute this novel with fake hope. As for that comment about how the mc is loved by the gods so the whole game doesn’t matter, that’s not even a problem to people who read on, because there’s a reason for literally everything in this novel. The author is a genius I tell you, while sometimes he might make things overly mysterious to the point it’s annoying, it doesn’t take away from the fact he wouldn’t make such low level mistakes. Even the ending isn’t a mistake, since he decided on that ending from the start, like some other authors do, like the author of attack on titan.

      Do the gamers ever start moving around in the real world or they can only meet in trials?

    A compelling and well written story that is somewhat held back by the very factors that make it so intriguing.

    In my opinion the plot near the end js needlessly complex and pointless all for the sake of being "mysterious".

    The start and middle of the story flow exceptionally well and really make you dive into the world, however later on (at least to me) it starts to feel as if all of the situations and relationships and struggles have been predetermined and don't matter. In such a way that, as the story would say, the fate was set. Even the ending left me feeling wanting and annoyed.

    After everything we went through and experienced it seems that nothing truly mattered. While the journey and experience was exquisite the destination and result felt wanting.
