As Soon as I Emerged from the Banner of the Human Emperor, I Became the Lord of the Old Ones

[75 minutes·The end of Cthulhu] Cthulhu-themed, the story is set in the final era of the confrontation between mankind and the old rulers. The protagonist wakes up from the human emperor banner, the most precious treasure in the world of cultivation, only to find that tens of thousands of years have passed, and the cultivation civilization he was once familiar with has evolved into a doomsday battlefield where the heroic spirit contract and steampunk are intertwined. The protagonist Xu Yan was originally a corpse exorcist in the world of cultivation. He tried his best to get the opportunity to enter the Human Emperor Banner to practice, but encountered a time and space jump after waking up. In the new world, humans rely on contracts with ancient remnant souls to fight, and ancient natural disasters may engulf civilization at any time. The laboratory scene at the beginning is very visually impactful - the symbiotic form of translucent energy body and flesh and blood body, the strange combination of steam pipes and rune arrays, instantly transform the immortal energy of cultivation into the suffocating feeling of the doomsday wasteland. The plot progresses at a tight pace. The first chapter throws out the contradiction of "the time traveler becomes a candidate for the Lord of the Old Ones." The scene where the protagonist forcibly kisses a snake girl to seize key props during the escape not only retains the passion of the cultivation novel, but also incorporates the Cthulhu-style indescribable crisis. However, the worldview in the first two chapters contains a large amount of information and may be a little obscure for readers who are not familiar with the Cthulhu system. In terms of character creation, the backgrounds of the main supporting characters such as Snake Lady and Dr. Hyde have not yet been developed, but the foreshadowing is more clever. The true function of the Human Emperor Banner and the deep secrets of the "Era of Heroes" are worth looking forward to. Taken together, this book is outstanding in setting innovation and plot tension, and is suitable for readers who like doomsday survival and Cthulhu elements. However, the development of the world view in the early stage is a bit intensive, so it is recommended to slow down the pace and deepen the character interaction. As a transformational work by a veteran author, it has both mature narrative skills and minor style issues. Overall, it is a potential stock worth pursuing.

"What, you just came out of the Human Emperor Banner, and you asked me to be the Lord of the Old Ones?" "Oh no, you can't do it. I'm just an ordinary cultivator of immortals, so it's really hard for me to take this position!" "Besides, I just woke up, and I know nothing about the Era of Heroes, the Forbidden Cards of Gods and Demons, and the natural disasters of the old days. How can we lead the entire civilization to fight against the end of the world? "What's more, I don't care about fame and wealth. I just want to find a few remnants of souls to repair the banner of the Human Emperor!" "What are you doing? It's nonsense. You are really hurting me!"... Personal rating: ❤️❤️

A new work by the author of Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation, a behind-the-scenes story full of two-dimensional elements. I read it again and re-evaluated it. At the beginning, it was very exciting to start with Xiao Bo Da relying on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to kill monsters and criminals, but later on it became more and more formulaic. On the one hand, the male protagonist likes to be a teacher and likes to teach people the principles of life in long lectures, which is very greasy. On the other hand, in terms of character design, the garbage bug who grew up in a polluted area is also polite when talking to the male protagonist. He expresses various abstract words casually. It feels like in this world, even beggars start with a bachelor's degree. A lot of the plot is about the male protagonist pointing out someone, being praised by someone, cutting the scene, and switching to another person to praise. You can cut into any chapter of this book and you will see the male protagonist teaching others something. It's a bit boring to watch too much, but it's still within the tolerance limit. As a result, the arena match started and the fight continued, with the classic male protagonist hiding behind the scenes to provide means. The players on the stage praised the male protagonist, the audience praised the male protagonist, and the villains praised the male protagonist. I feel that the author's pretentious style is a bit out of step with the times. This is the only way he can improve the character's self-identity, which is a bit embarrassing. The same plot that causes trouble behind the scenes, such as the pretentiousness of the Tarot Club among the best friends, is handled better. The members make guesses about the vague male protagonist. They think the information they have is more (or less) than the actual information. This is the so-called Dihua. At this time, it's fun to show off, and it's fun to have biased intelligence. It's a double secret. For example, in the scene where the protagonist's influence changes the lives of many people, Big Eyeballs is written much better. He won't simply write that the protagonist is awesome, but that everyone will be grateful and praise him for what he has changed. He cuts directly to the camera and inserts some short stories from the first-person perspective of passers-by between his stories, allowing readers to intuitively feel the specific impact on their lives. In this case, it's very satisfying to write about the reforms, and it's also a double secret to write about the NPC's perspective that responds to the previous reforms. This book is very formulaic and has all the characters taking turns praising the male protagonist. This way of handling the plot is too low and crude. I had high expectations for this book, but unfortunately the author's level is still not good enough. To sum up: it is not a particularly good but not bad behind-the-scenes flow of the second time travel. It has many two-dimensional settings but the plot development has nothing to do with the two-dimensional. The protagonist belongs to the Madonna who is decisive in killing and has a level of food and grass.
