Editor's review

Game Era begins with extreme sports enthusiast Xia Feng being selected into a game system, launching a journey across different times and spaces. The core stage is an ancient and mysterious continent, where the protagonist acts to obtain a secret manual that can save the land. The work combines game-like settings with otherworld exploration, with a rhythm leaning toward adventure and level-clearing; it suits readers who enjoy system-flow, time-space travel, and mission-driven narratives. While reading, pay attention to how the protagonist draws on extreme sports experience to cope with unfamiliar environments, and to the world rules behind the secret-manual mission. As a 2022 work by Fang Baiyu, this book is better read as lightweight genre fiction; there is no need to demand hardcore setting verification—just treat it as an otherworld adventure with a sense of purpose. It suits segmented reading in fragmented scenarios such as commuting or before sleep, maintaining momentum by following the mission progress.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Genre fiction readers who enjoy game-system flow and otherworld adventure themes
Those who prefer mission-driven, briskly paced time-space travel stories
Readers interested in extreme sports elements integrated into fantasy adventure
Readers who need lightweight reading during commutes or before sleep

Not a good fit for

Readers seeking rigorous hard sci-fi settings and scientific logical deduction
Readers who prefer realistic themes or literary slow narratives
People uninterested in game-like system settings

Reading tips

Read in segments by mission stage, following one goal at a time to maintain the sense of adventure.
Note how the protagonist's extreme sports experience is applied in the otherworld, and appreciate how the setting echoes the plot.
Use the secret-manual mainline as an anchor; when a new time-space appears, first sort out the current mission before continuing.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for readers who have never played games?

Yes. Although the story enters through a game system, the core is still otherworld adventure and mission progression; no game-operation experience is needed—just follow the protagonist Xia Feng's perspective to understand the rules and enter the plot.

What is the main goal of the story?

The mainline revolves around Xia Feng's time-space travel after entering the game system, with one clear thread being the acquisition of a secret manual on an ancient and mysterious continent to save it. While reading, treat the secret-manual mission as the core goal driving the plot.

Do I need to take setting notes while reading?

No need to deliberately take notes. The work leans toward an adventure and level-clearing rhythm; if multiple time-spaces or mission switches feel confusing, simply note the current time-space and mission goal—it will not affect overall reading.

About the author

方白羽 Author

Fang Baiyu is a Chinese-language author about whom limited public information is available. Three of his works can currently be confirmed, among which the Game Era series and Qianmen: The Legend of Yun Xiang are the better known. Game Era, published in seven volumes, is often classified as otherworld-continent fiction, while Qianmen: The Legend of Yun Xiang, in six volumes, is a martial-arts novel and served as the source material for the television adaptation starring Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong. Judging from these works, his writing draws on otherworldly adventure and martial-arts sects, combining fantastical settings with wuxia storytelling, and is marked by large-scale, multi-volume serialization. As details of his life, nationality, and dates remain unrecorded, a fuller picture of his work and literary influence awaits further material.
