When you have “the world is on fire” moments every other day at your job, you tend to come to the very real conclusion that you HAVE to set up some private, personal time. I read to escape then.

死吧 = somewhat polite suggestion for the recipient to "Die" 人类 = straight up translates to "human" So the following translated phrase "Die, human!" is the translation of this phrase. I can only guess that the translator included the original phrase for those who might be interested in the fact that 吧 was used.
—- Shameless Author Review—- ThIs story employs a rich vocabulary and complex sentence structure throughout that can be commonly seen in college level writing. Reading up to the ppint of this review, around chapter 30, which had been released within two weeks of this novel’s debute, we can see this... Three seemingly unrelated stories that take place in different worlds and time periods. Starting with aN American girl in the modern age, whom dreams of a second world of angels. This world of angels is something that has merely been hinted to in her own time through ancient scrolls and an old play. Yet, she experiences it in her dreams and unknowingly, she is drawn in to the point of emotional investment. When tragedy strikes in the dream world, the girl encounters her own accident in the modern world. Before you know it, you are yanked ubruptly into feudal Japan to meet yet another girl who has been dreaming of the modern world and witnessed the accident. Yet, there seems to be a physical connection between the two time periods. As it progresses, small hints and clues can be found that tie all of these different worlds together as the common link becomes clearer.
Honestly, this is the best written story I have seen on this site from a grammatical point of view. With that said, it has made the story a pleasure to read. I know a lot of people would complain about not having power levels, hierarchy and the world's background explained in advance, but.... I see this as a way to define an average author from a talented one. For he is writing from the MC's point of view and explains it as the MC finds out about it. Which helps break some of the predictable loops and traps seen in many other novels. Not to mention, it allows for further development of the story and creativity. The story itself starts off in what sounds like a Western-based fantasy world with magic and the common, run-of-the-mill "MC encounters trouble, then overcomes with their OPness" kind of strategy until they leave that country. Then you start seeing a more Eastern fantasy type of cultivation, but the Western-based magic is not completely forgotten and tags along the way. As the MC gets stronger, he is pulled into political intrigue, shadows of war, a hidden history of the world, and heavily guarded secrets... by this time, his general OPness is no longer as apparent as there is much, much more dangerous and powerful entities he is tip-toeing around. The character development of the MC really takes off later on in the novel as he matures and is not the typical arrogant, hot-blooded type that is prone to knee-jerk reactions and beating people at the drop of a hat. He is more of the patient, calculating type, which kind of leads him to feel a bit more like an anti-hero than a hero. The only complaint I have, is that there is quite a few days between chapters coming out. However, they are coming at a stable speed.
