Dragon with a Thousand Faces

New book by the author of Mad Lich The old habit of nibbling seedlings has come back. It was on the bookshelf a few days ago. I didn't want to add it, but I just couldn't help it. The setting at the beginning is very novel. A human body passes through it, pretending to be a degraded lizard man, and the world is full of orcs/half-orcs. Immediately, he activated the sixth-level beggar version of the classical paladin, killing indiscriminately, but his abilities were limited and would disappear over time unless the synchronization rate was increased or something like that. (It's nothing more than pleasing the other person) At present, the evil behind this city has been investigated, and he has begun to cooperate with the Leopard Girl whom he first met, and joined the police team to investigate the whole time and judge the evil, but the middle is complicated and involves interested parties. Why read this book: The setting is great and cool, and there's a lot to write about behind it, so I'm really looking forward to who it will become in the future. The writing is okay, and the flow and reversal are wonderful. Why not read this book: I feel like it will collapse. I have to write this thing very responsibly. What should I do in the middle and later stages? My family, I may stop updating it as I write it. I have a bad feeling. 🌱Seedlings that need maintenance Dry food + (be conservative)

[Art coefficient:★★★] [Abstract coefficient:★★★] [When the time traveler becomes the ever-changing celebrity in another world: a carnival of deconstruction of the identity game] Narrative Experiment of Multiple Identities: Reconstructing the World in the Crack between "Reality" and "Disguise" The protagonist Rean's "Thousand Faces" setting is not a simple reskin, but a philosophical interrogation of the "essence of existence." He travels through a different world intertwined with steampunk and fantasy as a lizardman, a noble, a nun, etc. Each mask carries a joke on racial politics - for example, when he uses a broken horn to disguise himself as a "degenerate" and sneaks into the orc society, the author uses the police to reveal the absurd setting that "pure human beings are taboo". This kind of identity deconstruction is not only reflected in changes in appearance, but also penetrates into the narrative level: when Rean signs a "reptilian engagement" with the mind-reading snake girl in Chapter 5, readers are forced to find the truth in the gap between "lie" and "truth." This "narrative fraud" becomes the core driving force of the plot. A playful deconstruction of racial politics: animal ears, tails and the black humor of class oppression The different world constructed in the novel is a carnival of racial politics: werewolves, cat people, elves and other groups divide social status according to the degree of animalization, while "hairless monkeys" (humans) have become a taboo. The author uses absurd techniques to deconstruct this system: the female police officer of the Leopard tribe yelled at the "degenerate species" because of its deformed broken horns, saying "it's so ugly", but she instantly gave in under the pressure of racial discrimination complaints; the virgin-like "Sister Maria" is actually the controller of the underground world. This contrast between the outside and the outside subverts the stereotyped imagination of race in traditional fantasy. What's even better is that the protagonist steals the memories of historical figures through the "Illustrated Book of Heroes" and turns symbolic identities such as Joan of Arc and Jack the Ripper into survival tools, completing the complete disenchantment of heroism. The misplaced aesthetics of humor and seriousness: tearing apart the absurd surface of reality in the nonsensical The novel's writing style walks the line between frivolous and heavy: when Rean puts scales on his face to disguise himself as a lizard man, he suddenly inserts a funny scene about his tail being stepped on by a beast of burden; and under the title of Chapter 24, "The Brave Dies," there is black humor in which the protagonist uses market wisdom to resolve the crisis. This "laughing with thorns" narrative reaches its climax in Chapter 45, "Justice's Three Against One" - three "just partners" join forces to beat up the villain, but they turn against each other due to uneven distribution of the spoils. The author jokes through the words of the characters: "Justice is like a sign that looks good. You only know what's inside when you go in." This kind of elimination of "grand narrative" makes the novel go beyond the entertainment of ordinary online articles.

I'd be satisfied if I could be half as good as the crazy lich.

Crazy Lich, Crazy Knight, and National Sword Master. How am I still alive? These books are all very well written. You don't need to worry too much about this guy's writing style, but to be honest, I put down all his books after reading about six or seven hundred chapters. The only ones I've ever chased are the Crazy Knight and Sword Master, and he was a eunuch...
