Type-Moon: A Little Opening Counts as an Opening?

A rather unique novel. Generally speaking, the Fate series, due to its inherently unconventional nature, attracts many creators to develop their own original characters (OCs) within the existing framework. Perhaps the writing team is somewhat biased in the actual creation process (I still can't quite understand why Hercules couldn't defeat the King of Uruk...), As many familiar or previously unknown characters appearing in the Fate story have been mixed with rather strange settings. 😒 (Edison fused with the Führer, Monkey King resembling Ramses II, etc.) To put it nicely, it's called "people with similar interests will spontaneously gather together"; to put it bluntly, it's called "like father, like son," and with the popularity came a lot of rather... Emmm... Content. Back then, the internet was flooded with all sorts of outrageous claims like "golden intelligence" and "the Yangtze River hanging upside down to grab the Earth," which made me quite "awe-inspiring" of Fate-themed web novels... After all, Kinoko Nasu and his team could come up with something like "Mordred is an artificial human created by Morgan after he made Saber drink a sex-changing potion and took a sample" (I saw this on a slang forum back then; I don't know if they continued using this setting later), so I didn't even dare to imagine what kind of fanfiction could come up with. 😨 This book is an attempt based on this mindset. At first, I thought it was just a typical Fate/stay night story with a simulator element. But then I discovered the author explored various mythological settings quite deeply, and realized it might be a good read. 😂 I've been following this story on and off, and although I often found myself reading (my fault, I confess!), I have to say: this... Might not be a book with a wide readership. 😖 This book has many merits, with well-designed "event plots"; a deep exploration of mythology; and many vivid characters... But so far, I've noticed one point that's somewhat selective: the author's writing in the later parts becomes quite... Personal. This overly distinct personal style results in a relatively specific reading threshold. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the book, but I noticed many comments haven't mentioned it, so I hope new readers can manage their expectations. Before subscribing to the entire book, I suggest you skip to the later parts to see if you can accept this style. If you can, I think you won't find many similar works on Meituan, so you're quite lucky; if you can't, I suggest you don't force it. In today's market, works and readers often match and click. It's not your problem, nor is it the book's problem; it's just not a good fit. I sincerely hope that every reader can find something they can enjoy in this work. 😁

What kind of garbage is this?! It's full of typos, omissions, and nonsensical sentences. The punctuation is terrible. I could read a foreign novel more smoothly by machine.

The early parts were lacking in many aspects, but the middle part felt like a complete evolution. The author put a lot of effort into researching various pantheons, and the various classic texts and quotes left readers stunned. Those ideas were also perfectly blended into the plot with the author's own understanding (especially the Indian volume). The writing style also made a qualitative leap, from the somewhat awkward sentimentality in the early parts to the gentle and moving narration later on, with delicate and touching enhancements, like a stream. The character development of the protagonist also gradually reached a dazzling level (especially the simulation, particularly the Indian volume). No one would have thought that this improvement in writing style would be achieved in just half a book (laughs). As for the ending, Tunguska... I skipped through it, and it felt somewhat incomprehensible and had a rushed ending?? In short, I recommend watching it. P. S.: The Indian volume, showcasing both its peak in character creation and writing style, can be viewed separately.

Overall it's not bad, but the content is a mess, the language is affected and artificial, and the narrative is chaotic. Even so, I'd still recommend reading it. In terms of content, while the works covered are extremely rich in detail, the background information included is overly verbose and lacks sufficient explanation. Sometimes, niche literature is also included, resulting in numerous conflicts. In terms of language, it's evident that the author attempted to imitate a unique religious style, but this resulted in numerous logically incoherent and contradictory sentences—a large number of grammatically incorrect sentences that require repeated reading to notice. Subject-verb-object positions are often wrong, and simple negative sentences inexplicably use double negatives. Coupled with numerous uncorrected typos, this makes the text difficult for readers who pay close attention to detail. In terms of narrative, the overall narrative discourse is quite poor. When the linear narrative is disrupted, or the narrative perspective is switched, the author almost never adds explanatory narration or appropriate intervening text. While it seems to employ almost all the novelistic narrative techniques analyzed by Genette in his discourse section—such as jumps, reversals, accelerations, and decelerations—the sheer accumulation and layering of these techniques results in utter chaos. In conclusion, dear readers, if you've read this far, please consider what type of reader you are. If you're someone who skims through articles without seeking deeper understanding, this article is worth reading, as the author's writing style can leave you feeling "impressed but not fully understood," a pleasant way to while away the time. If you prefer careful reading and slow, thoughtful digestion, this article is also worth reading, because if you can tolerate the aforementioned shortcomings, the remaining articles are still quite excellent. Anyway, I've been reading for so long, it's quite tiring, but it feels pretty good.

After playing Silksong, I feel like you and that Chinese translator are the same person. Your word choice and sentence structure are pretentious, and there are tons of typos and omissions. If it weren't for the well-written plot, I really couldn't have watched it at all.

The beginning and middle were quite well written, but the later part was a bit... Unpleasant.

The first volume was quite well-written, but the rest became very boring; the plot was all the same, which was quite tedious.

Does Shennong even exist?! #(Shy)

The Indian episode was... A real eye-opener (hehehe), maybe Indian mythology is just really abstract?

When will your new book be released?
