Amid the Antarctic white light that overturned heaven and earth, the Apostles' particles merged with my bones and blood, condemning me to walk through life in the space between light and shadow.
I am Lin Chen, the older brother Misato Katsuragi has always relied on, the obsession Akagi Ritsuko keeps hidden in her heart, and the blade under Gendo Ikari's command, codenamed Shadow.
The Second Impact of 2000 swallowed everything, yet carved my determination to protect into my soul. To protect that hint of purple hair, to preserve the last warmth left by my side, I willingly fell into darkness, becoming an asura who purged all opposition. With blood on my hands and sins on my shoulders, I became NERV's most secret terror.
Everyone knows how terrifying Shadow is, but no one knows that beneath that dark, black armor beats a heart that only wants to protect the people it loves. Gendo Ikari's coercion, SEELE's schemes, and the shadow of the Human Instrumentality Project closed in from every side. Yet my only obsession was to give Misato and Ritsuko, and the young boys and girls who came after them, a little more peace in this ruined world.
But the threads of fate had long since wound around us. The bonds between scars and strands of hair, the cycle of possession and protection: in the end, there was no escaping the destiny of EVA standing upon the earth.
In the end, our story was about searching for a glimmer of light called hope amid the ruins of despair.
The main character's romantic pairings are Misato and Ritsuko. The protagonist has been Misato's childhood friend since the age of eight.
Actually, I want to give it 3 or 2 points. Considering that this is the first time for the author to write a book, and it is a story that the author wants to write, there are a lot of updates, and the subject matter is also my favorite type, so I gave it 4 points. However, there are really many shortcomings in the novel (I read chapter 28 and then skipped to chapter 60 and started reading to chapter 66) 1. The paragraphs are very long, which affects the perception. One paragraph has more than a hundred words, and some are even longer, with more than 200 or 300 words (this problem has improved after Chapter 62) 2. The writing style is extremely poor, with long paragraphs of meaningless and straightforward narratives, and repeated emotional descriptions. For example, when the protagonist comes into contact with seele or other things, he often repeats a long inner monologue: mainly to protect Misato, and then to be wary of SEELE, recalling the tragedy of his father's generation, etc. It does not happen every time, but it happens often. 3. The description is very false and empty. Occasionally there are descriptions such as "He should study harder and persist in exercising" and "He should work harder to exercise physical fitness and learn knowledge". It is clear that the author is writing about the protagonist strengthening his own strength and setting goals, but the expression is very false and empty, just like those words such as "He must study hard" and so on. 4. Character creation is not good either. Take Kaji as an example. He openly targets the protagonist in class and training, shows hostility in public, for fear that others will not see that there is something wrong with him, is greedy for beauty, and is like a jealous ordinary student who does not have the calmness and restraint of an agent. He also has extremely sophisticated plotting methods. He's childish, and he was made into a clown in the college part🤡. Even if the CP is to be broken up, there is no need to write him as a clown. In normal writing, as far as the protagonist is facing Misato's protection and love, Misato is at best an ordinary friend or a comrade-in-arms who provides information. It is impossible to go further. 5. If I remember correctly, isn't Seele a secret organization? Why do you discuss seele openly, especially in the meeting in Chapter 27, where you directly mention seele? Does anyone else know what seele is? 6. Also, NERV was established in 2010, formerly known as GEHIRN, but I saw that NERV was mentioned 10 years ago in the novel. 7. The title is weird. Misato always feels unfamiliar when she is called "Brother Lin Chen". It is better to call her brother or Onii-chan (this is purely a personal feeling). 8. In the first chapter, it is mentioned that the protagonist has traveled through time and knows the plot of EVA. When I watch it, I always have the feeling that the protagonist knows the plot but the protagonist does not know the plot. 9. In my impression, Asuka is the kind of person who is proud to the core and cares about face. Even if she has a good impression of people, she always talks hard and awkwardly. Therefore, I think it is unlikely that I would do things like secretly swapping group photos, pretending to claim credit, embarrassing someone's bags, and throwing someone else's blankets away from others, and I would not regard "stealing men" as the whole life, and become a little brat who only loves to show off his temper and is full of jealousy. (Only for chapters 60-65, because I haven't read the rest yet) There are many other problems, but I won't go into them. Let me reiterate, I read chapter 28 and then skipped to the beginning of chapter 60, and then I saw chapter 66. The previous comments are only for the chapters I read.
I'm going, can you split the big paragraph into two or three paragraphs? I'm so tired from reading it😵
Well written. It was the first time I saw Shinji and the monitor together.
