Summary

Divine Desire is an Eastern fantasy web novel by Xuandifeng, an author on Qidian Chinese Network. Along with A Tiny World (renamed Slay the Gods in the mainland simplified edition), Devourer of the Six Realms, and Superbrain Demon Card Envoy, it is one of the author's representative works, and it was also published in traditional Chinese in Taiwan. The story is set in a strange world where gods truly exist: gods are not merely legend and faith, but real beings who bestow various formidable "superpowers" upon mortals. Only a very few lucky ones in the world receive divine favor, each with one or more innate abilities whose direction and strength vary, so those chosen often rise at once to become key figures who shape the course of their era. The protagonist, Fan Dong, is one of these "lucky ones." Suddenly gaining divinely granted power from an ordinary person, he must explore the boundaries of his abilities in a strange and dangerous world, deal with covetousness and hostility, and face the larger, hidden power structure behind the superpowers. With "human desire and choice in a world with gods" as its core, the work unfolds adventure around the growth of superpowered individuals, struggles among factions, and unknown powerful enemies. It was completed on an online serialization platform at a scale of about two hundred-plus chapters, roughly 840,000 characters in total, making it one of the author's more representative early fantasy novels.

Editor's review

雪帝峰是起点中文网早期较为活跃的奇幻、玄幻作者，《神欲》属于他笔下「以设定取胜」的一类作品：把「神真实存在、并会随机赐予凡人异能」当作世界基石，让读者一开篇就面对一个规则不同寻常的舞台。这类设定的好处是代入感直接、升级路径清晰——主角范东从幸运儿到强者的成长线，天然带着「开箱式」的新鲜感；同时作者又借神与人的关系埋下悬念，让异能不只是打斗工具，也是欲望与代价的隐喻。本书篇幅约八十四万字、两百余章，属于篇幅适中的完结文，不必担心长期追更的负担，适合想快速读完一部设定向东方玄幻的读者。需要说明的是，本书为网络连载作品，未查到正式出版信息，市面流通多为电子文本或收录于合集中的版本，文字与排版质量因来源而异；书中标题与内容也带有明显的早期网文风格，阅读时不妨把它当作一部有年代感的类型小说来欣赏。

Who it's for

A good fit for

喜欢「神赐异能」类设定、爱看世界规则创新的东方玄幻读者
想读一部篇幅适中、已经完结可以一口气追完的网文老读者
对雪帝峰作品有了解、想补齐其早期代表作的读者
喜欢主角从普通人逆袭升级、成长线清晰的爽文爱好者

Reading tips

先读开篇几章弄清「神赐异能」的规则，再顺着范东的成长线阅读，理解会更顺。
可把本书与作者另一部作品《一小撮世界》（简体版《诛神》）对照阅读，感受同一作者设定思路的演变。
遇到来源不明的电子文本时，注意校对错漏字与章节顺序，以免影响对情节连贯性的判断。

根据目前可查的资料，作者雪帝峰名下确有《一小撮世界》（大陆简体版改名《诛神》）等作品出版，但《神欲》只提到曾在台湾出版繁体版本，未查到正式简体出版信息与 ISBN，市面常见的是网络连载文本或合集收录版本。

这本书是完整完结的吗？

网络连载资料显示《神欲》标注为「全本」，全书约八十四万字、共两百余章，属于已完结作品；不同站点收录的章节数与结尾可能略有差异，建议以章节编号最完整的来源为准。

About the author

Xue Difeng Author

Xue Difeng is a web-fiction author about whom little public information is available. Two of his works are currently on record, with Shen Yu (Divine Desire) as his representative title. His writing is commonly found in the categories of premium fiction, fantasy fiction, and fiction for male readers, and also touches on urban fiction, suggesting that he moves between imaginative fantasy settings and contemporary urban backgrounds. Because details such as his dates of birth and death, nationality, and personal history are not found in public sources, a full picture of his writing career cannot yet be drawn. Judging from the categories and themes associated with Shen Yu, however, his work tends toward long-form genre fiction aimed at male readers, with an emphasis on plot momentum and world-building. With only two works on record, Xue Difeng is still at an early stage in terms of output, and readers' understanding of his style rests mainly on Shen Yu; the direction of his future writing remains to be seen.
