The theme selection is unique, and the first-person perspective brings you a different reading experience. A large number of language descriptions are lifelike, the character relationships are well grasped, the scene description and the environment description are seamlessly connected, and it fits the copywriting. It is very good!
In the current fast-paced market where online articles are crowded together, the book "Prisoner King" has taken a differentiated route by positioning itself from the court to the arena. The setting of "awakening from a serious illness" in the opening chapter is extremely tense. The identity of the protagonist "half-life prince" is in sharp contrast with the situation of "walking away from the world". The soul inquiry of "who am I" instantly grabs the reader's attention and fills the sense of immersion from the first-person perspective. The most eye-catching aspect of the novel is the creation of the atmosphere. The loneliness of "loneliness and independence" is intertwined with the undercurrent of power struggle, giving the transition from the court to the rivers and lakes a hazy sense of fate. This "unique" description of the atmosphere is the core support of its "flaws do not hide its flaws". The characteristic of "adjusting the reading speed according to the psychological changes of the protagonist" also makes it break out of the traditional Machiavellian routine and become more like a psychological epic that follows the protagonist's soul. But the core problem of the work is also exposed: the blurred boundaries of the first-person perspective. When the narrative frequently cuts into "the plans and motivations of other characters", it not only breaks the immersion of the first-person "limited knowledge perspective", but also violates the principle of unity of perspective - the reader follows "my" senses to explore the world, but suddenly obtains information other than "me", which easily creates logical fragmentation and weakens the credibility of the character's growth. In the subsequent creation, the author may face two major difficulties: First, the problem of rhythm balance. If the current "slow plot rhythm" feature is not grasped properly, he may fall into the quagmire of "unintelligible" in the layout of the Jianghu line. How to find a balance between psychological description and plot advancement to avoid the story becoming fragmented is The key challenge; the second is the problem of adapting the perspective to the plot. The rivers and lakes line involves more side characters and hidden lines. If the inner activities of multiple characters continue to be interspersed, the uniqueness of the first person will be further diluted. However, if it is completely limited to the perspective of "my", it may lead to unclear explanations of plot clues and lead to narrative dilemmas. Overall, "The Prisoner King" is a potential work with a distinctive authorial style. If the boundaries of the perspective can be clarified and the rhythm can be optimized, it is expected to leave a deeper mark on the conspiracy track.
I have been thinking about it for a long time, and the task is to write a book review for myself. First of all, I must give myself full marks. Secondly, thank you all for coming. Then, I am actually a newbie, and my book has no outline or character introduction. It can be said that I write about which characters come to mind when I write about the plot. I feel that I am just as happy as I am in writing about these characters. I am also getting to know these characters again. I am also exploring amnesia.
First-person novels are rare classics. Because the first person has certain limitations, the advancement of the story is easily restricted, which is equivalent to "dancing with shackles on." However, Mr. Li Daxia Anlong chose this way of writing, which made people sweat. When I first reviewed "The Prisoner", I wasn't optimistic about it. After a serious illness, I traveled back in time and was worried that the author would not be able to continue writing. Who knows, a master is a master. The plot transformation, psychological portrayal, language use and story design of this work are all so smooth and smooth, making it a comfortable and easy read. If it were changed to the third person, it might not be as good. In admiration, I read part of it, gave it a five-star rating first, and then continued to review it. This is a book review. I hope that Li Daxia will have a long journey and "Prisoner King" will become a god. It is said that Mr. Li is aloof and rarely responds to comments. I'm still imagining it, and I'd love to get some advice!
Unique thinking and rich imagination.
Literary youth seeks high-quality products from the niche. The structure is grand and incomprehensible at first glance. The pace of the plot is too slow if you look closely. It is suitable to adjust the reading speed according to the psychological changes of the protagonist. There are some flaws, but they cannot be concealed. The description of the overall atmosphere is unique. The uncertainty and contradictions about the existence of "me" itself are written from the beginning to the fifth chapter (it may also be there later, but I only read the fifth chapter. I have to read slowly later because I can't get up quickly). Come on, treasure author! It gets really exciting from now on! From the court to the arena, the world view opens up, it's beautiful!
The writing is very good, at least it is unique among Tomato martial arts. The first-person writing method is rare in Tomato, not to mention that it is an original martial arts novel. The plot in the book is also okay, but I still have some questions about some parts. Of course, I haven't finished reading it and skipped a few chapters. How to fill in the court of the emperor and the queen mother, the reason for the protagonist's amnesia, and what will happen to the protagonist if his memory is restored. These are the following questions.
Good book. The opening chapter is detailed, and the first three chapters can capture people's hearts. Indeed, traveling through time like this is like licking blood with the blade of a knife, and frightening every step. How can he be a decisive and decisive military leader who doesn't know all the three questions? Isn't this traveling through the past and running away? A good book, worth reading slowly. Why does it show 30 minutes in three hours? There must be a time-travel error.
The author's first-person writing is very good. When the protagonist wakes up in a daze at first, he still pretends to know everything and battles wits and courage with these people. It's very interesting. I read it in one sitting. Please update soon.
I have read the latest chapter. First of all, I was attracted by the author's cover and title. I really like the cover that looks like an ink painting. Secondly, in today's fast-paced world, such a growing protagonist is really attractive. Finally, the author's writing is very good, especially the psychological description of the characters, which is very delicate and progressive. In short, it is a very good novel, highly recommended! [Please update]
