This is the sequel of the first novel which is important to read in order to really understand the main Baili Xin's character as well as the ML Dijia's basic characteristics. At the start of the setting of this novel both characters have already had a long relationship that is still going strong and have been separated due to the emergence of the new world.This unlimited flow formula is basic, but interesting since it pulls the both of them where Baili Xin is limited due the character settings as well as his already established god powers being limited in different ways in each instance. You meet and get some memorable secondary characters, all with their own goals and hopes, though at times they are more often than not more muted as compared to the main character. The ML is fragmented in each instance as a character/being that only has vague ingrained feelings towards the MC whenever they meet.The "romance" if you can call it that often feels pretty off putting since it's almost always forced on the MC, though he usually doesn't mind since he already has love for the ML, but it comes across really "rapey" to the reader because it's so sudden almost always comes off as the ML caging the MC. I can kind of understand why it has to happen so fast, since each world instance only lasts a matter of days at best and there really isn't time to really slow down and take their time. It all really hinges on having already read the previous novel and knowing that they are deeply in love and kind of helped put each other together. It also helps if you consider each ML instance to be a fragment of his overall obsessive love with the MC.As far as the instances themselves they are pretty interesting, you get the hints of something larger at play as you follow along with story, broken up here and there by other players commenting on the live stream.Spoiler
It's overall an interesting read, but I'm stopping at 119, personally because the ML's growing obsession is hitting me in the most annoying way. I just can't keep looking past it with how I see it myself. I understand the reason, and it's very in-line with how the first novel went where Baili Xin was gathering the fragments of Dijia and they fell in love in many different lifetimes always stronger than the last. And again the time constraints together with the looming tasks don't leave a lot of time to let MC/ML interaction be gradual and they already have an established love. But it comes off a little frustrating because only MC has the memory of those times while ML only has that vague feeling of pointed interest.
