   Reader note

   It starts off a bit cliché, but sticks to it until the end of the first story and starts to shine. The author is good at depicting human nature through foreshadowing and foreshadowing in large-scale novels. The beauty of apocalyptic novels lies in the intertwining of darkness and brilliance of human nature. Ordinary people are harmful to others in times of adversity and intolerant to others in times of good times. From this point of view, the author is very good at writing about people, and the material he draws is realistic and novel. The so-called tragedy is to take beautiful things apart and look at them, while Shuangwen is the ultimate explosion after repression. The author controls the degree of the two very well, telling each smooth story without deviating from the theme of Shuangwen. With the help of gags with the protagonist's friends, the depression and despair of the supernatural background can be alleviated. Every book hides the author's three views. Whether a book is good-looking is also related to whether the author's three views are consistent with the readers' three views. Behind the different scripts in the book are not only stories written to construct the plot, but also contain the author's thinking about real society, which is resonant. I have to mention that the removal of some supporting characters in the book is a highlight of this book. A good arrangement does not affect the overall quality of the book. A good removal will make the readers never forget the characters. This is the charm of regret. Those who mind this need to pay attention. In addition, the author is quite emotional and often updates large daily essays and thoughts in the book, which seems to affect the perception a bit. Being very concerned about harsh criticism can lead to concerns that the author will be disturbed by a small number of readers. At the same time, the updates are extremely unstable, and the detailed plot is only remembered in my brain. There are also some minefields, it's a matter of opinion. Overall, it is a rare masterpiece and recommended to readers who like suspense stories, supernatural powers and doomsday salvation stories.
