I have read several books about rape and thieves. If it weren't for fake knives or if it wasn't so embarrassing, I would make my toes touch the ground and wish I could poke my eyes out. This one is different, this one is a real knife. The author is writing the history of the rise and fall of the Zhang family very seriously, connecting the scattered clues written by the old thief, and describing how a real, powerful, cruel and ancient family declined step by step. The protagonist doesn't have any golden fingers, but he does indeed change the fate of some people. In the early stage, you can actually tell from the details that the protagonist is really miserable, but the protagonist is better because of his good attitude. Every time I see him making fun of Zhangjia Vocational and Technical College's trump card major, expression management, I can't help but laugh. Overall, highly recommended. It's worth trying.
I have never seen such clear-cut writing in a Tomb Raider Notes fanfic. It doesn't pretend to be invincible or deliberately cruel. This straightforward writing style makes me feel that this is not a novel. It seems that such a person exists in the original work. I follow his perspective to see the gradual decline and re-establishment of the Zhang family. While regretting the characters who passed through Tongshu's life, I was squealing at the cuteness of Xiao Zhang. I also like the modern plot and was moved to death by my mother. Come on, the author! I want to watch the finale of Uncle Tong and write a sequel with dozens of chapters!
The main character is the Zhang family, no censorship, no ambiguity, no double male protagonist, no all, no group favor, no brain-deadness, no disgusting, no shit-peeing plot, a bit of knives but not much, a very comfortable fanfic, filled with pitfalls and explanations, not without brains, but should be beaten and killed without being cowardly, and there is no particularly irritating and aggrieved plot. The chapters are long, I suggest not to read too fast, it is easy to read in one go, serialized, very readable, a breath of fresh air for tomb robbers fanfiction
It's a particularly good second creation of a stolen pen. I felt so selfless watching it. First of all, the atmosphere is well created. I really like the scene after the protagonist returns to the Zhang family from Nanyang. It was snowing heavily on the horizon, the silent gray tiles on the corridor, the crimson and light pink plum blossoms blooming under the eaves, and a drop of black people in the gray snow between the buildings... It immediately took me into the snow in Changbai Mountain. Then the characters are very attractive. The protagonist is sitting in front of the nameless monument of his tribe, not knowing which one is the silent monument. Although it is depressing, the author describes the vivid psychological activities very delicately, and there are vivid people on the background of silence. The interaction with the original characters is also very interesting, with a pyrotechnic atmosphere, but not monotonous, with the unique solemnity of the Zhang family and the protagonist. The writing style is very good, taking into account the atmosphere, characters, relationships, daily life, main text, and fighting. It doesn't feel sluggish, it just feels wonderful. The writing style is very unique. It is an endless aftertaste and a hearty drink of wine. It is worth watching! ! ! ! !
Although it is not perfect in some places, it can be said to be one of the most basic fics on the entire platform that restores the plot of the original novel. The author really went to read it. It is completely different from those fictitious followers who follow the trend to gain traffic. They don't read the novel at a glance and rely solely on hearsay, plus a few modified TV series to write random stories. Uncle San has written at least a dozen books in this series of novels. The information in them is fragmented, there are many pitfalls, and there are inconsistencies. But the author has done his best, and even the writing style is very similar to the original work. Zhang Ruishan, Zhang Haiqi, Zhang Hailou, Zhang Haixia, Zhang Haike, Zhang Xiaoyu... In addition to the main storyline, Wu Xie's private notes, Southern Files, Hidden Sea Flowers, Yucun Notes, etc. Can be seen from the author's intentions. Several other parts should be integrated into the subsequent plots, but what surprised me the most was the character Zhang Ruishan. A quick glance in the original Zhang Family Ancient Building, "The chessboard is full of blood", "A mausoleum is built, good at management", "Understandable principles, if it is an article", "Have read foreign books, open-minded, good writing skills", "Finally died in a fire" In this novel, this character is finally no longer a dead person lying in a coffin, but a living character. As for the neighbor after his death, it is a pity that Zhang Shengqing, who lived for more than 170 years, did not appear. All in all, it's a five-star rating, worthy of the name [Like]
Super pretty! ! ! It's the only fanfic I've been able to watch in ten years! ! There is no so-called deliberately beautiful, powerful and miserable person, there is no all-group favorites, there are no clones of various systems, just using skills out of thin air, it is just an ordinary Zhang family, the Zhang family who are in a difficult situation and may not even be considered ordinary people, living little by little in the world of stolen pens. Basically, everyone who could be saved was saved, Hai Xia, February Red Lady's girl, Dakui, Pan Zi... In the early stage, he was a relatively lively junior of the Zhang family, and later grew into a very charismatic Zhang family elder. The Zhang family is also much stronger than the original. The second half of the people were successfully retained, and the younger brother also has a backing that he can rely on. When he loses his memory and has no goals, he will follow the marks left by his family and return to the Zhang family's new mansion. . . You must watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't watch it! ! !
This book is actually comparable to the original in my heart. Both the writing and the plot are very good, but there is always a slight sense of desolation and powerlessness. Sometimes it is obviously funny, but it feels like my heart is being pinched bit by bit. It is difficult to describe this feeling. It seems that everything is light. It's a quick brushstroke, without focusing on describing those regrets, but just one sentence makes people suddenly feel chilled. The whole thing is actually quite humorous, but many plots also make people uncontrollably sad. Without those so-called golden fingers, it's just an ordinary person drifting helplessly in the trend of the times. I've saved 100 chapters, it's so cool
It's a rare book that really doesn't have emotional lines or ambiguous tendencies. The author writes very deeply, and some words can be seen to be well thought out and thoughtful about life. The protagonist is actually a person who is relatively close to reality. He is kind but has separated his personality in order to survive. He only feels human when he is with other Zhang family members. But there are very few moments of warmth. The setting of the last Zhang family has an indelible sense of tragedy. The protagonist gives me the feeling that he is being pushed forward by fate and the tide of time. He is forced to make a decision without even having time to think about what he wants and what he wants to choose. In a sense, this book is quite sadistic, and not very friendly to the protagonist. I didn't feel much about the knife when I first came, but the more I read it, the more uncomfortable it became. However, overall, it is not always sad. The theme's description of the changes of the times, the old and new, has a heavy sense of history, and it describes such a cruel era very aptly. If I must say it, the protagonist is actually not a good person. However, the characters in this book are actually poor people who can't help themselves. They make different choices just because of their different positions. No one is right or wrong. It can only be said that the dust of history falls on everyone like a big mountain. Anyway, there is a very heavy and helpless feeling. Finally, I really enjoyed this book. I hope the author can update it every day and be less aggressive.
I dare not say that this is the best "Tomb Raiders" fan fiction, but it must be my personal favorite. I want to seriously write a review for it, because it is so good that it deserves to be seen by more people. About the text: It's as clever as it is clumsy. Many people say that this piece of writing is plain, but I prefer to describe it in four words - it is as clever as it is clumsy. The text of "A Hundred Years of Alone" seems very plain at first glance, but after reading it, I realize that it is not plain, but a kind of prose-like lyricism. Simple and restrained, but every word is spoken in the heart. There is no glamor of showing off skills, but there is strength accumulated over time. As you read, you will feel that those words have accompanied the protagonist through a long hundred years. For example, the sentence at the end of the first volume: "He thought that this person must still have to walk a long way. Traveling with dust, he would go to a time and space that he could not go to." At first glance, it seems to be from the perspective of the jailer, but upon closer inspection, isn't this the author's gentle prophecy for the protagonist Zhang Haitong? Doesn't it resonate with us onlookers? It was the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and Zhang Haitong's life had just begun. And we know - he still has a long way to go. It's dusty and full of wind and frost, but we still have to go on firmly. The phrase "time and space that cannot be reached" is the attention paid to Haitong by the Zhang family who have been swallowed up by history, and it is their farewell that is so calm that it is almost cruel. In just one sentence, I can express my heartache, admiration and helplessness. About the characters and themes: Home supports a hundred years of traveling alone Whether it is the social beast in his previous life or Zhang Haitong in this life, the author has portrayed him vividly and realistically. What touches me most is that this article contains a warm core, home. It was precisely because he had a family, relatives, and kin that Zhang Haitong was able to survive that long, almost lonely century. The title of the book is "A Hundred Years of Walking Alone", but every line is full of fetters and support. This contrast is precisely the most touching part of this article. Unsolved mysteries and unsolved mysteries about the original work: a calm view of history Many fans like "It's hard to save people", and I also like to make up for those stories in my fans. But every time I see the happy ending after the rewrite, I always feel a little nihilistic. I never understood why I felt this way until I saw a different answer in this article. Zhang Haitong is right: he is not predicting, he is just stating the history that has already happened. The two-dimensional story is different from the three-dimensional world after all. Only by acknowledging that the past has happened can we face the future. Only in this way will change be anything but nothing. The author uses this calm, almost bystander perspective to fill in the pitfalls of the original work, making the story thicker, more believable, and more poignant. About the shaping of the Zhang family: Everything is for preservation Many fans who write about the Zhang family tend to fall into the trap of "robbing tombs for the sake of robbing tombs". But this article reminded me: if a protagonist is really the Zhang family, then tomb robbing is never the purpose—preservation is. The meaning of the existence of all Zhang family members is to serve the purpose of the patriarch. The patriarch's goal is the Bronze Gate, the ultimate goal. This sounds cruel, but it is the reason why the Zhang family has been able to last for thousands of years: they have a unified goal and a common responsibility. Similarly, Zhang Qiling's portrayal also won my heart. He has neither been overly deified, nor has he been pulled off the altar and become OOC. He is Zhang Qiling - the patriarch of the Zhang family, the one who has always pursued the truth and protection after taking responsibility. Let me start by saying: I don't reject Pingxie CP, and I understand everyone's feelings about sugar-eating. But what this review wants to talk about is another dimension-responsibility and family. So below I will not interpret these plots from a CP perspective. If this makes some readers feel "confused", I would like to apologize in advance. It is purely a matter of my personal taste. Just like the conversation between him and Wu Xie in the recent chapter, handing the Ghost Seal to Wu Xie... Outside of the original work, these plots are often simply interpreted as the romance of Ping Xie's CP. Someone shouted, "Ten years of my life in exchange for your lifetime of innocence." I don't deny that this sentence is good to eat, but it was said by the third uncle in the interview, and it has an ominous meaning of shooting the arrow first and then shooting the target. Someone seems to have forgotten: it has never been Wu Xie's obligation to enter the Bronze Gate. Guarding the gate is Laojiumen's promise, but within three generations, no one from Laojiumen has actually done this. It is shameful to break a promise, but in the face of survival, who can have an easier time than whom? Why should Wu Xie want to go to the Bronze Gate? Just because he was born in the bureau, it doesn't mean he will be sacrificed naturally. Therefore, I personally think that Zhang Qiling was never the Bronze Gate for Wu Xie to enter. "Exchange ten years of mine for your lifetime of innocence." It's just the author's words under Pingxie CP, but it should not and will not be the core of the original work. Guarding the Bronze Gate and exploring the ultimate goal behind it has always been the responsibility assigned to oneself by the Zhang family, and it was Zhang Qiling's choice as the clan leader. Just like the sentence in "The Wandering Earth": "In the face of disaster, there is only responsibility." There is no fairness, no pain, no pain. It's just that the Zhang family is more willing than the Wang family to make such a choice after being born with immortality. For thousands of years, the sacrificed bloodline, the harsh clan rules, and the clan's sobriety... Were cruel and helpless. And this is precisely the deepest core of the original work "Tomb Robbers Notes", and it is also what this fanfic captures most accurately. If you are also looking for a quiet story to accompany a person through a hundred years, then "The Stealing Pen: A Hundred Years of Walking Alone" is worth reading. Thanks to the author for writing such a clever and clumsy work that emphasizes responsibility and affection.
I really like Chapter 75: Zhang Haike leads his tribe to migrate and Chapter 194: Ashes to Dust. The dusty and heavy feeling of those times is like peeking into the past that actually existed. The images of the Zhangs are also very vivid. For example, they are at a loss, frustrated, make cold jokes, guess punches, play poker, and play Truth or Dare. 194'S always hot tea and some silent concern in the past made me feel that the Zhang family is not the cold Zhang family, but the Zhang family with flesh and blood. The love between Ms. Zhang and Mr. Zhang in the real world line is also very, very good, especially Ms. Zhang looks so soft on me. There are also some overlaps between the two lines, which are very interesting, such as Qi Shengun, Xiaoxu's family, and Shaanxi Lei. Zhang Family Registration Directory 023 The feeling of looking at the present through the future. There are many extra episodes that I love to watch, but after reading the storyline between the Lei Family Master and Uncle Haitong, I just felt sad. Old friends from the north are also very good. Meeting old friends in a foreign country will pave the way for future friendships between the blind in the south and the mute in the north. An Express Delivery expresses Uncle Haitong's care for the elders vividly, and there are also some Waiguoren extras that are very novel to see Uncle Haitong from another person's perspective.
