Reader note

[Like] The anime "Sword Come" is a work worth recommending, especially for those who like Chinese comics and martial arts themes. Its unique ink painting style, exciting fighting scenes and profound philosophical thinking demonstrate the perfect combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern animation technology. Combine it with the original novel or relevant comments to dig deeper into the connotation of the anime. Start from the first episode and watch the first few episodes patiently to better understand the story background and character relationships.

Reader note

"Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight" presents an immersive feast for fans of Western fantasy epics! In the thousand-year game between light and darkness, the gods regard human beings as dispensable dust, to be crushed at will in the game of power. The protagonists Sen and Qixing bear the mark of immortality. On one side, they are pursued by Lucifer like a shadow, and on the other side, they are trapped by the dragnet set by the gods. They ignite the flames of resistance in the desperate situation, vowing to collapse the high wall of divine power. From the initial cowardly dodge of the knight to the determined charge in the face of the gods and demons; from the overt and covert struggles of various ethnic groups to the blood and blood flying on the battlefield, every line is filled with the unique epic tension of Western fantasy. There are countless intriguing foreshadowings hidden under the grand worldview. Every transformation of the characters is leveraging the gears of fate. When you open it, it is a shocking adventure of a head-on confrontation with divine power.

### How can the young man with the black satin eyes kill the invading gods? **"I Learned to Kill Gods in a Mental Hospital" - an urban supernatural epic that subverts imagination** The streets are scorching hot, and the cicadas are chirping. A blind young man with eyes covered with black satin stood in the middle of the traffic, with peanut oil hanging on his guide stick in his hand, and hesitating. He was Lin Qiye. He was diagnosed with mental illness after witnessing the "Angel on the Moon", but he did not know that he had become an agent of the gods. When the mist of destruction swallowed the world, only the island of Daxia survived. The "Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods" in his mind quietly opened: Here, the fallen Greek Pluto, the crazy Nordic evil god, and the violent Michael were imprisoned... Healing the gods can steal their divine power! **"Soul character" creates famous scenes with passion** The author **Sanjiu Yinyu** (Master of Finance in 1999) pioneered the "soul character" narrative: the supporting role is more dazzling than the protagonist! When the night watchman Zhao Kongcheng first appeared, he was ruffian and lazy, but he fought to the death to protect the civilians on a rainy night. His sentence "This sword will be very handsome" set off the tear ducts of the entire network. The group of characters in the book, such as the crazy genius An Qingyu and the school tyrant Shen Qingzhu, all set off a frenzy of second creations with their distinctive characters, forming the "god-killing boy band" effect. **Chinese-style heroism breaks the circle** "If the dark night comes, I will stand in front of tens of millions of people, slash my sword into the abyss, and stain the sky with blood!" - **Night Watchman's Oath**, inspired by the iron-blooded spirit of Chinese soldiers. When the Western gods abandoned their believers, the gods of Great Xia protected their descendants with self-sacrifice; when superhero movies advocated individualism, Lin Qiye and his comrades guarded the lights of thousands of families with a small team. On the snowy New Year's Eve, after fighting a bloody cult, he listened to the reunion dinner at his aunt's house through the door, silently interpreting the Eastern romance of "defending the family and the country." **IP frenzy sweeps the entire Internet** - **Novel**: 2.75 Million people are following updates on the Tomato platform, 660,000 comments urging updates, and the average daily reading is over one million; - **Animation**: The hottest hit in the summer of 2024! Tencent Video's popularity exceeded 23,000, and Douban scored 8.4 Points. **Acidic Aesthetics** created a psychedelic audio-visual feast; - **Cross-border linkage**: Douyin ## topped the hot list, with 560,000 viewers pouring into the author's live broadcast room, and book fans dressing up to encourage more shocking out of the circle. > **"The mental hospital is my examination room, gods are my textbooks, and killing gods is the only diploma."** Deep in the eyes covered by black satin, the young man is staring at a world that we cannot imagine. --- 🔥 **Read Now**: Tomato Novel APP | **Follow Up**: Tencent Video "God-Slaying: Mortal Realm"
