Book title: The Wandering Earth

Author: Cixin Liu
Overall Rating: 4,3

The Wandering Earth: Classic Collection Stories is pretty good. Although takes time to finish it, I enjoy every story. Here, my personal rating:

1. The Wandering Earth (4,5)
I feel somewhat in the apocalypse and damned world. It terrified me, but love the idea, even though I do not want it really happened in reality. What terrified me so much, is the story about sun gone can happen whenever in the future. I found the story somehow logic, especially the part of climate change and sun outburst. 

2. Mountain (4)
The idea of solid world (without liquid and gas) is mesmerized me, even I actually hardly understand some of words. Also, I confused with the mountain. I found the Mountain looked strange for me...I hardly imagined how the overall scene happened.

3. Sun of China (5) 
My favorite! The story is warmed my heart and adore the main character. I found his character is the best one than the other MC in this collection stories. He is simple guy with remarkable character development. The idea of artifical Sun is also original, especially the "spiderman" roles for the Sun. 

4. For the Benefit of Mankind (4,5)
The story making me chilled. It goes darker and gives some twists. I always like the story involved criminal background and the mysteries of the story linger until the last part. The horrible moment I found (the second most terrified me after The Wandering Earth story) is when monopoly and authority happened. When human abuse power and resources get lack...Don't want it happen.

5. Curse 5.0 (3,5) 
Seemed fun at first, but confusing.

6. Micro Era (4)
The writer delivering good idea again, but lack of humanity touch. I hardly imagined small humans living so freely because I get used the idea of human's hardships in their live, even they're in micro-shaped. In my another opinion, the story somehow is not logic.

7. Devourer (3,5)
Good idea again, but still somehow the story is weird and difficult to read. I do not understand the ending and I do not care what actually happen to the characters. For the first, the plot going flawless, but then the flaw coming. I can not symphatize for both the devourer leader a.k.a the lizard and the captain.

8. Taking Care of God (4,5)
The story is smart, so funny, and more humane. It centered a family and a God living with them. The God is one of the other Gods who are a civilization from outer space that are actually a human's Earth and planet Earth creators. The idea is astonishing and let me thinking, they're gods? That many?

9. With Her Eyes (4,5)
The eye-tearing story, even though the shortest one, but give the most impact for my emotional state...The story also shocked me because I found this is different than the 8 stories before. I do not want to spill it here because it is the twist. 

10. Cannon Ball (4,5)
The story is confusing for the first time because many technical word i don't understand at first. Eventually, just like other stories, I get used to it. The plot is flawless and I like the idea again. There are interesting perspectives here, such as how if you are the parents of criminal child? Also, the story delivers the meaning that "time" and "perspective" always matter.

TV SHOW SCI-FI, MYSTERY, & SUPERNATURAL REVIEW! #3

Part 3 (Castle Rock, Undone, Maniac, Channel Zero) Again, having fun ride with me!! Let’s go Castle Rock  Castle Rock adapted from Stephen King’s novels. Castle Rock's popularity was rising after It, a movie that adapted also from Stephen King's novel . Castle Rock season one is my favorite than the second because the story is more scary and layered. It combines horror, mystery, and a little bit of science fiction so well. At first, it was more horror and mystery. A police found a strange man in a cage. The strange man gives several unlucky events to the people in Castle Rock. He called as the devil. But, who is he actually? The performance of Bill Skarsgard is never disappointed. He shows one of his best performances besides his performance as Pennywise in It. At the end of season one, the twist unfolds. This was when the story become more into science-fiction and supernatural. The second season is much different than the first; there are dead people becoming zombies and the...

Happy Reading #3

  Hello! Welcome to the third batch of my reading routine. It has been so loongg, I didn't post something about books. I have something more important right now, so my reading routine has lef out awhile from my life.  Those books (Inferno excluded) have been in my list since July 2021. I've read 3 of them and I will write the "standalone" review later. First of all, I share you some hints about my four new books.  1. The Craftsman (by Sharon Bolton) When I found this book in BBW, I was honestly intrigued by the sypnosis. This book has some exciting elements, which are witchcraft and mystery. It look promising, thereby this book will be the last one I read. 2. The Fourth Monkey (J.D.Baker) This one is the first book from The First Monkey series. The book focused on the mystery of a death of infamous criminal. The duo detective in this case and the rest of team tried to find the truth behind the death, is  the criminal that they really seek after for a long time, or ju...
