Fourth Perspective Chapter 52 Discussion

????????

I just finished reading and this is literally my reaction. And not in the good way.

This is a real definition of rushed and non-logical ending.

Like, I enjoyed it so much, it's a really interesting story, (level of intelligence you need to have to completely understand world building and all of the mystery stuff should mean you are one of top of the geniuses global) but it's just so disappointing.

It's like you leave your favorite part of the dinner to eat last, to have this satisfying aftertaste for a long time, but it turns out to taste worse than rest of the food and you feel bad for the rest of the day.

I think author became bored of this story or wanted to end this really quick and definitely gave up the idea of romance

Spoiler

if you take in the account fact that MC and ML held hands 10 chapters before the end of the novel and it's all of their romantic interactions, if we don't count 'fiery gaze' in every later interaction and brushing shoulders once. No joke, it may be the reason of the censorship, because even 'confession' was some kind of wordplay, when I needed at least 10min to think if ML declares his feelings for MC or he's just teasing him. Not even word about liking, forget about this unique type of romance like in TEIO. Plus for ML not hiding that he's gay, bare but rare minimum, so let's just applause that.

And about this rushed ending, in last chapter

Spoiler

main villain 1 (unknown MC brother) kills main villain 2 (MC biological mother) and then dies.

Their actions were literally the flow of the plot. Especially 1, he was there from the beginning and the main goal was to kill him, HE ALMOST ENDED THIS WORLD AND YOU SAY THAT WAS ALL BECAUSE HE WANTED TO KILL 2??? He was behind everything, controlled people around and made them kill each other, stole one of the most important artifacts of the country, nobody could catch him because he could imitate another person and hide himself. AND THEN HE APPEARS WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD AND DIES???? EVERYTHING HE DID HAS NO MEANING AT ALL??

We don't even know why he killed 2, who also appeared in person a few chapters before the end, made some kind of super funny extra game to save herself and run away, and during this game MC coincidentally realizes and reveals all of the secrets of this world, motives behind his mother's actions (which have no sense) and the boom, villains die and he can see new world, everyone are happy, nobody cares that their worldview just crumpled, they lived in unknown realm and all of the other sh*t.

Those two died, let's just forget about past 240 chapters, everything is all right, no need for explanation. But, to be honest, the amount of plot holes and unresolved in the end stuff makes me want to cry. It had so much potential, I want to know what they will do with 004, who is A02, about ML chain collapse, MC growth in rankings if his mother died, what about non-aggressive pollutants, lost characters and so much more.

I feel like a kid that had just their candy taken away. I don't know how much I have reread The Earth is Online, so my hopes for this novel were almost equally high, especially with the beginning like that.

But now I can only regret pulling all-nighters to finish this, and to have my youth stolen and never returned back again. I'm just a quiet user, but I had to write this review to at least restore my life force and accept the fact, that my candy is not coming back and all I have is regret of taking it in the first place.

It's a good choice to read this if you want to kill the time, but if you are going to really get into it, then be ready for massive disappointment.
