Very well written. At least it's better than those long short stories that are full of "slobbery" without any trace of written language. [Goutou] Let's get back to the point and briefly describe my views [laughs]: 1. This book is biased toward strong plots. If you want to read light novels or pure light novels, please avoid it [laughs]. The plot advances a little slowly, but it is solid and the clues are clear. 2. Elemental keywords involved: Orientalized Cthulhu (flesh-proliferating body, tentacles, giant eyeballs, sun falling), , History (Ming Dynasty, hostile nations, emperors, Donglin Party, frontier fortress, palace changes, Ye Bu Shu, Jinyiwei), Micro-Xianxia fantasy (Sword Immortal, star-like elements, Qin Tianjian, a small amount of sect elements as background, destiny) 3. Characters and their relationships: There are hidden clues about the protagonist's life experience, and there is a single arrow pointing to the male protagonist. It is difficult to say who the female protagonist is (in the first 50 chapters). The love line is not obvious, and it is speculated that it is a strong character. The former emperor who traveled through time is dead. In short, the writing style is more classic, the writing is good, and the novel is generally thick (the hope for the continuation of mankind, or the dynasty, is temporarily slim). It is not recommended for readers who want to have fun reading novels. It is suitable for readers who have a lot of free time and are interested. This is one of the best articles on Tomato. The writing style is serious. The writing is very good, but unfortunately it may not be suitable for today's fast-paced life [sigh]
Let me talk about the conclusion first: it is very exciting and unconventional. It organically integrates various elements of Cthulhu, fantasy, and alternate history, rather than simply piecing together things like a tailor. The setting is rigorous, the logic is self-consistent, and the writing is concise but not novice, making it very immersive. The author constructs an imaginary world view in which demons and demons abound in the late Ming Dynasty. Here there are the struggles and powerlessness of mortals facing demons, the chivalry and redemption of the last swordsman who walked alone in troubled times, the treacherous struggle of power in the court, and the high-spiritedness of young men trying to reform. There are not many words at present, but it already has everyone's style. As long as the eunuch is not a prisoner, it will become a classic in the future.
It's good to read, and the writing is great. I'm finally eating real food instead of junk food. [Crying] The elements of Cthulhu are great. The background is the most legendary Ming Dynasty. I also like it very much. The value orientation of the protagonist is also in line with my expectations. Come on, come on. It's a work carefully crafted by a cultural person. I'll put it together with Lost City, Ten Days and Pillar Project. These four books are currently my four favorites on Tomato. There is also a weird theory of cultivating immortals, hehe
The selection of this book is quite advantageous. It is a big reversal from the previous themes. There are sea areas, evil gods, military camps, and stars. It is very fantasy and more exciting than just fighting. There are really many descriptions of battles.
So far, it's really good, the pace is not too slow, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is handled well, they use each other and help each other, the female protagonist's role does not overwhelm the male protagonist, and she can play well without being a hindrance.
This book is quite good to pass the time. It's hard to find good Tomato books. I think there are very few that catch your eye. If you are short on books, you can get into it. The writing is quite mature and the plot is not boring at all.
From what I have watched this time, it is very exciting, mainly due to the rigorous character of the characters, the skillful use of words and the exquisite Taoist swordsmanship. The layout is very large. I heard that it has been revised, but I feel that the first version is more understandable because it is slower.
It's so good. Update soon. I've been waiting since the time from the Crown Princess to now [crying][crying][crying][crying][crying][crying][crying][crying]
Personally, I think it was well written, but I don't know why it was discontinued. The author's previous work, Shanhe Gu Song, was also good. What a pity [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying]
It looks good. There are not many good articles written in the style of Cthulhu, the Doomsday Sword Immortal of the late Ming Dynasty. It not only writes about the strength of the sword Immortal, but also writes about the powerlessness in the face of the ancient gods. This faint sense of despair should be the core of the Cthulhu style.
