About This Novel
Soot filled the sky and steam roared endlessly. The world is functioning as usual and prosperity is within reach. But everyone is ignorant. Only a handful of them have gone through the mists of history, studied taboo knowledge, dismantled hidden inspirations, and mobilized invisible power. They are called "the wise." The chaos and reality beneath the filthy surface of the world, starting from a mysterious incident at a concert, are gradually revealed: "Lord of Hidden Knowledge, Shifting, Aspect, Ritual Vessel, and Witness" - this is the extraordinary path of the "Knowing One"; "Inspiration, composition, piano, conducting, symphonic movements" - this is the sacred career of an "artist". Two roads, leading to the same destination. Wherever vision goes, destiny chooses. "The world is full of shortcomings, but eventually someone will see the glory." --Contemporary composer, pianist, conductor Carolyn Van Ning

Music and mystery go hand in hand, but the author's skill in writing the music line is far better than the mystery line... ★The writing is very good, the description of the music is very attractive, and it can be seen that the author has solid knowledge in this area. Moreover, the character of the protagonist is not an ordinary literary copy, but a real composer, the kind who really has his own works (the male protagonist has a prototype), a rare but likeable entertainment-related protagonist. ★The author's background period is well chosen, which is very suitable for the theme of classical music. This time point is a period of vigorous development of art. ☆Although the author's writing style is quite good, it is obvious that the author lacks experience in web writing, the rhythm of the mystery line is wrong, the excitement is not enough, and the villain's setting is also disgusting. It is a very common setting that the official organization of the strongest country is the biggest villain, but in the context of this book, "the abnormal zone has been spreading and will destroy the world sooner or later. Only the development of art (the emergence of artists with high enough qualifications and the birth of excellent works of art) can slow down this process and buy more time." It is not very reasonable. ☆Updates are a bit slow now, but I always wait until a volume is finished before reading it, so it doesn't have much impact... The current progress is on the third volume, and I am very hesitant to continue reading it. It is quite important to me whether the symphony title of the male protagonist Fan Ning is his own name...




Recommendation index: 4 stars Category: Seedling Support Cthulhu text is set in the classic steampunk era of this genre. This book does a good job in the core elements of Cthulhu such as thriller, suspense and history. It can be called a relatively authentic Cthulhu text. Regarding the music literature, which is a major feature of this book, there are some differences between praise and criticism. My knowledge in music is shallow and I can't judge what is right and what is wrong. However, I feel that a work with its own content is better than everyone else's copycat. At least this also reflects that the author has put more effort into it. Tentatively scheduled for January


Feeling like a tadpole looking for its daddy? Begin by killing the teacher, and then take care of the teacher's "young" daughter as a matter of course, and advance to the extraordinary level. Old wine in a new bottle is not bad, but the rhythm is a bit... There are two routes for this type of writing, one is sympathetic, and the other is refreshing. Liangcao, people who like this kind of medicine will probably like it.
