It's a really good DND article. Unlike other books, when writing a traditional Western fantasy, you also need to add a grudge setting (directly turning the book into a pile). It's not like the quality that 🍅 should be in. If you put it next door, it's also one of the best quality authors in the West Fantasy Zone. Although Japanese-style Western fantasy is very popular (a strange smell), I still support traditional Western fantasy.
A very solid dnd novel. The author simply shows you the charm of swords, magic and adventure. I have read too many romance novels that regard dnd adventure as the starting point. Suddenly I saw this and it was really touching. I finally found something to eat. This score won't really exceed 9 points, right? Apart from The Great Voyage, this is the second book that I have read since 7 o'clock. Suddenly I wanted to take a look at the comment section, but I saw a lot of difficulties. It turns out that this is also considered a disease of youth. But it's okay, it lets me know that I'm reading on Tomato.
Ah, this is the first time I've seen a protagonist in a DND novel who develops such a deep relationship with the mind flayer, and the writing is so awesome, damn. The characterization of the characters is very profound. Everyone who interacts with the protagonist is not simply a tool to promote the development of the plot. They have their own background and motivations, like a living person. The fighting scenes are also well written, the writing is very good, and the plot rhythm is also good. What? If you ask me what is the most difficult to understand in this article? Then I will say it generously... Polly!!!!! Little mage!!! Ah!! I don't care!! After returning to the ground this time! I want to see Lao Lei and the little mage have a vigorous love affair!!!!
Very good, very good, I highly recommend this book. Let me tell you, the author is just trying to fry fish with persimmons from abroad. His writing style has not failed from beginning to end. As soon as I saw a few pictures, I felt a sense of fantasy from the West, and those with better imagination already felt like I had traveled through time. If there is something about this book that I don't like at the moment, it might be the early part of becoming a sheriff in the city. At that time, I felt that the writing was tedious, that I had gone to the city to eat public food, and that it had lost the "adventure" flavor of the book's theme. But that's not to say that this content is not good. Looking at it from Lao Lei's perspective, I deeply agree with it, completely understand it, and even agree with it. However, the turmoil in the city in the second half gradually pushes the protagonist towards the climax of the second half of the plot. It is simply written so well! The interaction with the characters, everything they said and did, was like a grand picture unfolding in my mind. I really couldn't move my eyes away. I haven't been so hearty in a long time! At the end of this plot, there is a breakup with the ranger half-elf who has a good relationship with him, and a short story is used to introduce the half-elf's past and outline the previous clues. An imaginative world, a simple yet complex background story, and an ending destined to be tragic. Some readers in the comment area missed their old relationship and always looked forward to her resurrection, but I think it was her death that allowed the story and background to unfold so quickly and be so vivid and three-dimensional! Going on adventures in the Underdark, you will meet a group of partners, each with their own characteristics, sharp contrasts in personality and small conflicts, which makes the story more authentic! I won't reveal the specific storyline and partner endings here, but please calm down and enjoy this great work. (Actually, I feel a pity for the young pastor. The article contains my relatively more detailed personal reasoning and explanation. If you find it, you can read it. If you resonate with me, it will be my honor) It was this book that really raised my tolerance for Western fantasy novels, causing me to have a book shortage () I've been feeling itchy lately, and I want to wait until I save more before I can get enough of it. There should be more authors! Just a little, a little more!
I think it's a 9-point level. The story is eloquent and doesn't have the cool structure that is popular nowadays. I couldn't read it at first, but after reading it, I felt it was very epic. It reminded me of the style more than 10 or even 20 years ago. If others are writing plots, this book is really telling a story. Everyone's behavior has its own logic. Although the protagonist is covered with a system hook, the existence of this hook is not strong. It is only used to judge whether the other party is trustworthy and as a member of the evil god. He even took the initiative to keep a distance from the evil god. The second volume is almost over, and he has only learned one or two moves. It can be said that he has exercised restraint to the extreme. To be honest, this is the choice of most people in the real world. How can ordinary people be so smart to fight wits and courage with the evil god, and how can they have such incredible luck. The protagonist in the book is like an ordinary person in reality. He has to compromise in various situations and try to show off his tricks. At first, I felt a little frustrated and uncomfortable, but after reading it, it really feels real. In particular, many of the supporting characters are written with real heart and vividness. When you see their names, you can think of their personalities and facial expressions. In addition, the death of the half-elf is a bonus for me, because since the protagonist has become a member of the evil god, he and the half-elf harp alliance are naturally hostile, and there is no room for reconciliation. The author has done a lot of foreshadowing when writing the death of the half-elf. The logical progression of the plot is reasonable and reasonable, and the writing has a touch of regret. It also makes the image of the half-elf still adhering to his ideals at the end of his life more vivid. I can still recall how she persuaded the protagonist to join the harp. Of course, this can never happen, and the protagonist can never explain it to her. So this is a pity. This is actually how the realism of this book comes. A lot of lengthy detailed descriptions and dialogues consolidate the image of the character over and over again. In fact, I did not guess that the half-elf would die, because most books do not arrange for the main character to die, but I felt better after dying. In this way, the whole book is suspense. No one will guarantee that he will never die, and no one will stay with you forever. After the death of the half-elf, it is logical for the little mage to leave. And the story in the second volume is a new development, with new people and things
There is not much to say about the first volume, the plot is very good, I will leave some subjective opinions later. The second volume is poor. There are too many sections that are useless or boring or both. The literary youth disease is too serious. The author's pursuit has obviously not been realized. It can even be said that the cart has been put before the horse, so that individual characters are poorly created, but a lot of space is spent. Slow heating is not about mixing all kinds of things unscrupulously, and you have to make necessary trade-offs. The processing of long threads is not very good, so I won't talk about short threads. Anyway, this book focuses on slow reading. If it is still in the early stage, then there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, many things are quite good, such as the growth and interaction of the characters, as well as the emotional rendering and normal narrative writing. Compared with the first volume, the difference lies in the density of plot and valuable information. Personal opinion: It is not exciting enough. Using various game settings does not make me feel the pleasure that a player (to be precise, a modern person in the 21st century) should have. Don't tell me that you want to enjoy reading Xiaobai's novels. Similar stupid words used by niche Jiahao brothers to cheer themselves up should not appear here. If you don't have your own thoughts, try not to talk to netizens. Normal people should be able to get pleasure from the plots of online novels in many ways, not just slaps in the face and pretending to be cool. Some routines and formulas are borrowed from the game from reading the book reviews, but it seems that the degree of originality is a bit low, and it feels like they were copied mechanically. It feels like path dependence will soon be required. The author seems to like a certain sense of fate, but unfortunately he doesn't handle it well. This is just a writing method, not a necessity or a condition for the sublimation of the plot. Don't use this book as a training tool. Finally: Everything in the online article serves the plot; I hope this volume will be a good story.
The content is solid and the book is "powerful". It's hard to imagine that it took me 2 hours to read more than 30 chapters, but I can only imagine how solid this book is. The author is creating a real adventure world, without mindless settings, but with details that enrich the entire world between the lines. On the impatient platform of Tomato, it is rare to find this type of book. Although the current rating is very low, I hope the author will work hard. Eat lobster every day I caught up with the latest chapter and my level is still online. I found that some people criticized the death of the half-elf in terms of the plot. I can't comment on whether it is good or bad, but it is reasonable in terms of the plot. This book is like a good dish made by a chef. Even if it doesn't suit your taste, if you are an experienced foodie, you will feel that the ingredients are solid, the cooking skills are superb, and you can feel the chef's intentions when you eat it. This is what this book is
A very pure sword and magic adventure, this book is truly unique on Tomato. It feels like returning to the Fantasy West 15 years ago. The mix of 5th edition rules and other games makes it feel fresh for those who are used to the 3rd edition. The characterization is also very delicate, and the plot is slow but not sloppy. The author handles this aspect very well. I personally think that the overall pattern of Western Fantasy is the collision and conflict between the gods and the world, ideas and behaviors, which is different from the traditional Chinese concept of people defeating heaven and replacing it. It is more about the pursuit of faith and liberation. This book describes this aspect very well.
The most poignant thing about this book is the protagonist's "impure kindness" - he does not talk about ideals like traditional protagonists, but enters the world of adventure with a pragmatic utilitarianism: when accepting a commission, he will first calculate the reward, when encountering danger, he will first assess the risk, and will even bargain with his companions to "share an extra 10% of the loot." But when he looked at the seriously injured little mage in the ruins, cursing "trouble", he took out the only holy water in his hand; while using evil magic, he destroyed the cult ritual. This contrast of "calculate interests first, then consider conscience" makes his kindness more real - it is not the heart of a Holy Mother who does not eat the fireworks of the world, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still chooses to stick to the bottom line. Utility makes him live longer, and kindness makes him go further. This kind of "justice with fireworks" resonates more with people than pure idealism.
This year's first Western fantasy book with feelings, the author's control of growth, emotions, and plot are completely unlike that of a newcomer. He is even inferior to most old writers. He is suspected of being an alien demon.
