Two stars for decent writing

Currently updated to Chapter 318. The writing is okay, and there is no sentimentality or sentimentality. The world setting belongs to a magically modified Don't Starve game. The human aspect has little to do with Don't Starve. It is mainly about PVP, more like rust. They are constantly fighting each other to find and destroy each other's homes. The protagonist is a decisive and decisive type, refer to Su Zhanmei from Samsara Paradise. The disadvantage is that the protagonist's personal strength has been improving well, but he is just like a roadside player who has just made some progress and then gets wiped out. The protagonist has strong fighting ability alone but is beaten by a group. He narrowly escapes death and starts over in another place. Most of the things from the previous base cannot be taken away, and the people I knew are either dead or separated. This scene has been repeated three times. The warg, giant deer and three gay men were deceived by profiteers four times including the beginning. You create a world view in which competition between the weak and the strong dominates, a protagonist who prioritizes force to the point where he doesn't even have serious teammates, and he is hunted down like a lost dog. Then this protagonist is quite a failure. In the world of pure martial arts, those who can't beat him are just dishonest. The title is about becoming the King of Shadows. Up to now, the shadows are still trying their best to support others, and they are even trying their best to hunt down the protagonist. The author may have written it like this for the subsequent climax, but there is no foreshadowing from the reader's perspective, which makes it difficult for me to find a reason to deceive myself. It's hilarious.

I want to know if you students who write books are really idiots? Why do you always write your classmates' IQs so low to highlight your own high IQs?

The king of niche famine themes

It is an extremely rare article about Don't Starve. If you don't know what Don't Starve is, you can search it on Bilibili or Steam. This article cleverly breaks away from the constraints of Don't Starve itself, and only borrows the setting, background, and history of Don't Starve... It writes about the power of farming and survival in a different world. The characters are set in a group, but no one knows the game Don't Starve (including the protagonist). All experiences are shared and summarized... That is, the eternal world and the first batch of veterans who traveled to the world of Don't Starve wantonly pull people from reality, and different characters survive in the harsh world of Don't Starve. Borrowing the settings of Don't Starve World to create things without reason (for example, a few grasses and branches can create a backpack that can stack 40 sets of stones and 8 sets but has no weight), an ointment that increases blood volume without delay after use, numerical three-dimensionality, skill sets, etc... In order to improve the world to better suit the subject matter of the novel, the author has also added or created a lot of supplementary settings, such as the scientific machine When you come out, you can't unlock all the technologies like the game but randomly draw blueprints. When you kill a huge cow, you can put two pieces of meat in your bag like the game, but you can also eat other meat that cannot be taken away. Young pigs can be bribed with meat, but they will be stopped by older pigs when they walk to the village gate... These make the logic of the whole world more self-consistent, the characters' behavior more reasonable, and a harmonious unity is achieved in terms of following the original work and self-innovation. The protagonist is an orphan who has no attachment to this world and adapts to a world of famine. He is tough, decisive and cautious. His outlook is positive but he insists on letting go of his need to help others and respecting the fate of others... The supporting characters have different personalities, and their actions and consequences are not too absurd. For example, the leader of an adventure group who hopes to unite everyone to find a way home has been severely beaten by society, but there are always people following him and his life is getting better and better. While squeezing others to enjoy a better life, he also takes the initiative to take responsibility when encountering danger; because this group leader protects too many newcomers, but always looks for trouble and shouts that this is a social Darwinist who makes everyone lose the opportunity to evolve. In the end, he becomes a person who he says is not worthy of living, and is pushed to death by the power of the group. At the same time as he was crazy, he also united a group of so-called evolvers; newcomers whose abilities were not exploited were deceived into risking the death of their teammates, and then brought back the corpses of their teammates because of their own conscience. Being locked up in the kitchen to do hard work, when he learned that his team was being knocked on the door, his first reaction was to eat everything in the kitchen, and then calmly wait for the change of camp... In short, the various characters match the behavioral styles that are suitable for their respective identities, and interact harmoniously and harmoniously with each other, which is pretty good. As for the plot, as shown in the title of the article, the protagonist is favored by the shadow, but the shadow is not a good thing. A spokesperson is selected midway to abandon the protagonist, and conspires to control the protagonist after deepening the connection with the shadow. While the protagonist is seeking to survive to make his own life better, in addition to fighting or uniting different survivors, he is also studying the power of shadow. To gradually get closer to the shadow, to fight against the shadow's hostile force, the moon, and to break the monopoly of the old group of time-travelers... Basically, they still rely on their own strength and wisdom to deal with the crisis. You can always draw good drawings by opening a small lucky drawing. The rhythm follows Famine, and the walrus man, giant deer, and underground ruins appear naturally as time goes by and the protagonist's understanding of the world deepens. It is rare to see them not being abrupt. All in all, it's a very exciting piece of Don't Starve text, and it's even better if it's paired with the game itself. If you have never played the game, you can just treat it as a pure wasteland survival and farming article. Intrigues, passionate battles, farming discoveries, and background exploration are all smoothly connected with clear priorities. The style is realistic and dark, yet humorous and less toxic. It is unique among the niche themes of famine.

Don't know what the meaning of writing about classmates is? Traveling to a strange world, there is an extra status bar. Everyone seems to be just fine, leisurely, unhurried, and without any sense of crisis. Is this a normal person? My heart is too big I originally thought that classmates would help each other, but I didn't expect that one of them fell in love on the first day, and then the protagonist ran away by himself. So what is the meaning of this classmate's writing? If it was to highlight the protagonist's IQ, I didn't feel it! When I saw a lake, I ran over to drink water without checking whether there would be any danger. This is the protagonist. Otherwise, in a world with monsters, according to the infinite flow writing, the protagonist would be dead.

I have a bold idea, to surround the gorgeous door with a stone brick wall so that the newcomers can't escape. I'll wait for a while to collect the corpses, and then open the wall when there is no more people.

Good! Not enough! Love watching! More updates! No time for Don't Starve! Reading this book is like playing Don't Starve yourself! Ha ha ha ha! Enjoyable! Cool! It turns out that the most valuable equipment in Don't Starve is good teammates! This book also reflects it. For me now, the most rare thing is the time to play Don't Starve. Alas, after working for so many years, it is really rare to play Don't Starve.
