This work uses an innovative setting to throw the protagonist Lin Sanjiu into an unspeakable crisis. From daily work, to witnessing the "cognitive annihilation of 37 people in the archives", to becoming the "cache redundancy" of the arrival of the ancient gods, the work cleverly combines the pressure of the modern workplace with the cosmic horror of the ancient gods of the past, carving out deep cracks in the urban fireworks. Stories such as "Time Veins in the Dark" and "Silence of Silence" suggest that the narrative is full of suspense and tension, and the author's solid writing power ensures the laying out of the worldview. This new work, which has a novel setting and integrates fan fiction and social observation, is still waiting for more readers to discover the thoughts on rules and existence beneath its text. It's wonderful and beautiful, and the author has a great imagination.
Lin Sanjiu's image is full and three-dimensional. He is not only a vessel bearing the mark of an alien god, struggling with a mysterious destiny, but also a "person" who will remember his sister Paper Bird and be shaken by Master Jiao's soup. This ultimate pull between divinity (or inhumanity) and humanity. In the book, he is not a flat hero, but a complex soul who still shines with humanity in despair. It's a really good book worth recommending for in-depth reading! I have to say that I have been following the updates but now, the plot and characters are very three-dimensional and the writing is very delicate. It can be seen that Da Da has a strong writing skills. [Sending my heart] Highly recommend this book!
This is a brand new future world, with a brand new world view, people and settings that have never been defined and developed before, many strange and precise new vocabulary, plus a plot that requires brainstorming, it is really hard to understand if you don't calm down. But I think this will become a new serial story, an IP that can be continuously developed. Because it is too advanced, sooner or later, people will get the deep meaning that the author wants to express. Lin Sanjiu, because of love, is on the road to retrieving his memory and sister, and is fighting against the entire sunken world. Of course, there are many nameless people behind him, and he is walking on a lonely but not lonely road. We all are. Recommend!
It's so beautiful. A friend recommended it. I couldn't stop reading it from the beginning. I read the latest chapter in one breath. The plot is not cliche at all. The fusion of Eastern and Western legends and fantasy is particularly perfect. The storyline is super smooth and the plot is tense and novel. Highly recommended! Until now, the image of Lin Sanjiu has become more and more popular. It is not only three-dimensional, but also has a subtle feeling between reality and reality. From the in-depth portrayal of the characters to the smooth and reversal of the plot, every chapter captures people's hearts. [Sending Hearts] Highly recommended book!
Xinhu, described by the author, seems to be forever shrouded in a wet fog, full of rust and unknown atmosphere. It has the hustle and bustle and coldness of the metropolis, but is also always permeated with the peek from the abyss. This writing style that deeply embeds supernatural elements into urban life makes every daily corner full of uncertain horror and desire for exploration, truly "expanding the imagination." For readers who like urban weird stories, Cthulhu Mythos and cool writing, this is undoubtedly a very good novel! [Like][Like][Like]
This is a wonderful book with a super-fantasy world view that is really imaginative, yet not inconsistent at all! When the identity of Lin Sanjiu's ghost takeaway Yuan appears at the beginning, I feel that this protagonist is not simple. When the whispers of the Cthulhu Outer God echo over New Shanghai, this bold innovation combined with the background creates a unique reading experience. In the world written by the author, this new sense of mystery makes the book's grand worldview feel real! Read the latest chapter in one go! Highly recommended!
"Lord of Mysteries, New Shanghai Strange Tales" builds a world that is both fascinating and unsettling. The New Shanghai City described by the author is far from an ordinary modern city. It is more like a living and breathing huge mystery - forever shrouded in a wet fog mixed with rust and unknown atmosphere. The best thing about this book is its amazing ability to combine elements. It cleverly integrates the grand narrative of "revival of spiritual energy" and the indescribable horror of "Cthulhu" into the daily life of the protagonist Lin Sanjiu. The character of Lin Sanjiu itself is a collection of contradictions: a 34-year-old low-class marginalized person who holds a series of absurd and real titles such as "private detective", "ghost deliveryman", and "psychic loan collector", but is essentially a cheap temporary worker to deal with cognitive pollution. This setting makes him the most perfect eyes to explore this collapsed world. We follow him and get a glimpse of the secrets and madness that quietly seep under the hustle and bustle of the city. For readers who like the suspenseful sense of layer-by-layer revelation in "Lord of Mysteries" and who also prefer localized urban ghost stories, this is undoubtedly a "potential good book" with a novel setting and huge potential. It promises not only bizarre stories, but also an adventure into the spiritual wilderness of modern people.
This novel is undoubtedly a literary masterpiece that achieves a high degree of harmony in both narrative art and human insight. Its plot structure is sophisticated and layered, and its transitions are natural and smooth. Every turning point is both reasonable and unexpected. The progressive suspense settings and relaxed rhythm control jointly build an immersive narrative space. The author is particularly good at enhancing the appeal of the story by creating reasonable obstacles and challenges for the characters' actions, and deeply reveals the characters' inner world and growth trajectory in the process of solving problems. This approach not only makes the plot development natural and dramatic, but also gives readers a strong sense of immersion during the reading process. In terms of character creation, the characters are full-bodied and multi-dimensional. The author is good at comprehensively using portraits, actions, language, psychology and other descriptive techniques to make the characters' complexity and clear growth arcs very convincing. The intricate yet well-organized network of relationships between the characters, as well as the choices they make in moral dilemmas and fateful decisions, greatly enhance the realism and resonance of the story, and trigger readers to think deeply about the multi-faceted nature of human nature. The author's writing style is precise and expressive, and his language combines poetic beauty with the texture of life. His descriptions of scenes, atmospheres, and the subtle emotions of the characters are extremely vivid and delicate, giving the text a strong visual sense and appeal. What is particularly valuable is that beneath the surface of the wonderful story, the work contains profound insights into grand propositions such as human nature, society, or the meaning of life. These reflections are not rigid preaching, but are integrated into the plot and the fate of the characters like salt in water.
When the Cthulhu Mythos collides with the weird rules of Magic City, this wave of fusion will directly become a god! The setting of Lin Sanjiu changing from a psychic loan collector to a vessel for the old gods is so touching. Every dungeon of Ghost Story is like playing a game of life and death. The rules are so detailed and scary that it made my palms sweat. The author makes the daily scenes in Shanghai real and weird. Takeaways, convenience stores, and late-night corridors have all become stages of horror. The contrast is amazing! Although not many people are reading it, it is definitely a good book with underestimated potential. Cthulhu lovers and fans of strange rules will close their eyes! Wonderful!

This novel is very well written. He describes the magnificence with a mature and sophisticated writing style. There is a lot of useful information in it. It seems that it was written by an old finance and tax man, which is very thought-provoking. The setting and plot of the story are also very exciting and interesting. Many parts made my heart tremble when I read it. It was so well written.
