Phantasmal Genesis

"Phantasmal Genesis" by Elegant Leisurely Fox poses a question to readers: do you ever doubt the world you inhabit? The narrative explores individuals who gain extraordinary abilities. Some acquire the Scholar System, becoming repositories of human knowledge, while others receive divine blessings to pursue martial arts, achieving god-like status. In contrast, there's a figure, Meng Ke, who declares his return to the heavens. As many fight desperately for their ascent, Meng Ke, who began at the pinnacle, observes the myriad worlds from above. The core concept is that illusion is reality, and reality is illusion. Meng Ke discovers he can manifest illusions into tangible existence, leading to bizarre occurrences on Earth. The novel features themes of cautious, cunning, ruthless, and low-key protagonists, schemes, conspiracies, special abilities, and game elements like a ranking and level system, with magic and fantasy creatures. It also touches upon dark and delusional aspects, potentially evil protagonists, manipulative characters, and a system administrator. The story unfolds in a modern-day setting with a male protagonist who tames magic beasts and possesses psychic powers. The narrative is noted for its realism, featuring a protagonist with genuine emotions who experiences loss, and a government that reacts pragmatically to unexplained power growth, surveillance, and scientific advancement. Notably, the story is described as having no nationalism, with the protagonist even causing chaos in his own country, nearly leading to its destruction. Despite its completion, the novel has faced issues related to its lack of overt nationalism, which, in some contexts, leads to censorship or rushed endings.
