Reader comments
I have come across this female science fiction novelist. Her writing style is very detailed, her imagination and worldview are grand, which is definitely beyond my scope of cognition. The writing is like a dream, which makes people feel a huge sense of nothingness. Science fiction text can lead readers into this kind of world, which is considered very successful.
Recently, I suddenly fell in love with this kind of book. The novel style of writing reveals the true meaning of some things under the novel imagination. The most touching ones for me are probably the last two I just finished reading, The Silly Three Butterflies and The Gentle Mr. Komatsu. I highly recommend readers to read it. The story is very short, but it is a wonderful journey [currently in progress]
This article is imaginative, beautifully written, secretive and romantic.
This science fiction book is more "fantasy" and may not be serious enough for people who like traditional science fiction, but for people like me who like fantasy fairy tales, it is very friendly!
Sometimes I don't want to stare at the heaviness of reality too much, I just want to leave everything behind temporarily and roam freely in the vast spiritual universe, drifting with the wind.
I really think it looks good when I see Liu Cixin coming in❤️❤️❤️
After reading the first article, I felt it was okay. Ji Yana's character was revealed from the beginning. The plot is predictable and the setting is okay, but it's science fiction... It doesn't have that sense of technology. It's not the machine age in the traditional sense. The world setting is out of the world, but the thinking is okay. Just like the ending notes: Fuzzy zone, not sure if it counts as science fiction.
I came here to review it with five stars. "Fuck the End of Time" is the best short article I have read so far this year. It is about the adventure and love between time prisoners Li Zhengtai and Wang Maomao. The author has a super invincible imagination! The "Someone jumped the track" at the end of the film made my heart skip a beat, but the ending has a twist! The ending is perfect! Ahhhhhh! The author certainly did not disappoint me! Really! No knife! This time it's Cupid's victory! ! !
This is a prose poem as beautiful as an oil painting. It reminds me of the dizzy feeling of freedom, satisfaction and peace of mind when I flew freely in the dream of fields and starry sky many years ago. It once again brought me an enjoyment like a breeze blowing through a tall building in a complicated life, as if I were the wind.
It's not science fiction, it's fantasy
The storyline is intriguing, reflecting current social hot spots and combining it with science fiction, which is interesting.
Wow, this book is great! I like the story "The Hanging Sky" the most, especially the setting of the sky hanging upside down. It's simply amazing! And "Grave of the Fireflies" is also very romantic, in which the priest extinguishes all the stars for the woman he loves. Every story is wonderful, I feel like I have entered a wonderful world. I really hope to read more stories like this!
The writing is very delicate, I love it (⑉°з°)-♡
It's pretty good. The imagination is beautiful, but it's too fast. It may be difficult to understand and requires a lot of imagination.
It's directed at Liu Cixin [laughs] The most touching thing in the book is "Fuck Time." Unlimited praise
It feels more like describing an imaginary world, which makes people feel relaxed when reading [shy]
