Everyone has a name. More precisely, a full name. Chinese given names are usually one or two characters long, though nowadays they can of course have three, four, or even more. A surname passed down from one's ancestors comes first, making a complete and utterly ordinary name. Surnames are inherited from our ancestors, but long ago, why did they attach a particular sound or written form to the name they used for themselves? Many surnames are interesting or a little strange. Some come from animals, like Niu, Ma, and Yu; some from temperatures, like Leng and Wen. Compound surnames include Linghu, Sima, Ouyang, and Ximen. So what does Linghu mean? Taken literally, it sounds as if it means being able to order a fox to do something, and so on. Of course, that explanation is far-fetched and barely plausible. For most surnames, the characters themselves have no meaning that can be explained in Chinese; they are simply surnames. But explaining it that way is like using the reason itself to explain the reason. A person's name seems to have nothing to do with their fate or personality. Only in some novels do authors give characters more literary names to reflect certain traits and make them easier for readers to remember. So is a name merely a label? To put it in a philosopher's words, what remains after you take it away? Could deeper inquiry lead to some astonishing discovery? Is a name the most ordinary thing bestowed by human beings in the universe, or a mark where contingency and necessity intersect in the most dialectical way?
In fact, I am very curious whether there is any duplication of the long comment just now. If there is, please delete it.
The author (as everyone calls him) doesn't write novels simply to make money (silent). I thought of it when I read the article. Nowadays, Jinjiang is dominated by fast writing, and Jinjiang's writing style is becoming more and more fixed like □'s writing style. The writing of the articles on the list may not be very good (at least I have seen many that are not as good as this one and are still on the list). It is really painful to find articles. Generally speaking, Jinjiang only looks at the ones on the list, or if a certain category is arranged by the number of collections, then it is still more disappointing than satisfactory. Today, I saw a lot of thoughts from the great writer. I would like to seriously talk about my feelings after reading this article, and also complain about it. Overall, no matter the name, copywriting, subject matter and language, it is very unpopular. The first is the name. I don't know if you've noticed that most works have a "[]" in front of them. Those that don't add it can easily tell the subject matter. The naming method is even more straightforward. There are even some that are so unconventional that they are not very "elegant" ("The Reader and the Protagonist Are Absolutely True Love"), all in order to attract readers. I can't say that this is right or good. I can only say that an honest name like Dada may not be popular for a while. Then there is the copywriting. Well, in order to cater to the needs of readers, many authors write very vulgar and plain copywriting, such as "wanting to give the professor happiness" and "gentle attack x loyal dog suffering". . . The font is also set, and the number of words is not too many. It is really good that you read this long paragraph carefully, but many people may just skip it. The subject matter is not very hot. Nowadays, fan fiction is more popular than original work, fast food is faster than profound, and rebirth is more attractive than tradition. HP was popular some time ago, and recently in the entertainment industry. Looking at the list, there are only a few themes that come and go, such as HP, Red Mansion, and martial arts fans. The novels in my folder are also classified according to these categories. Relatively speaking, there are really not many suspense stories, but more supernatural, mythical and crime-solving ones (including Qiwu's fans). Plain language. I have to admit that many people nowadays are really not that profound (but I am very profound, lol). They just read quick products - probably those who pursue the quality of writing are reading classics (originally I was reading them some time ago, but they were so attractive and powerful. When I was in high school, they asked me to quit, and there were only two classics left). At first glance, the language of Dada is really serious (relatively speaking). It seems to strictly follow the rules of grammar. When writing about a person speaking, you must first write "such and such way..."; It is also a bit like the author of the article, masculine style. Well, the fighting part was quite martial arts. The content is substantial. I read a lot of articles with empty content, and secretly complained about it. One article ranked first on the monthly list, and now it is on the quarterly list. The writing style is really average, and the content is even more empty. A simple matter at 24 o'clock in two chapters was not finished! What makes me most angry is that the author has a bad attitude and gets scolded by readers after giving negative marks, regardless of the attitude of the person who made the suggestion. Someone sent a suggestion for the length of a long review, and the author's response was so chilling. . . I'm off topic. In fact, readers can tell whether the author writes seriously or not. I once interacted with other authors, and I guess he didn't write seriously in one chapter. That's right! With the same number of words, authors of different levels express different contents. The content of articles written by great authors is substantial. Details or something. When I saw the protagonist's reaction to the possibility that his friend was an alien, my first reaction was a bit exaggerated, but there was a sense of humor in it. After thinking about it, it suited the character's age, and it actually felt real. As a result, I almost didn't know what I was talking about, and it was wordy. Generally speaking, it is normal for such works to be cold at first, but gold will always shine. Some works only became famous after writing more than half of a hundred chapters. However, once unpopular works become famous, they become masterpieces. Many readers have the idea of "fatting before slaughtering". If they are anxious when they see only a few chapters, they will simply stop reading it. Did they find that the VIP list is all beyond the 40th chapter? Most works only become famous after about 40 chapters. However, if they are not attractive enough, they will continue to be updated after being listed. Many people will not continue to follow but wait for the completion. Those who abandon the article are those who are unable to follow up and fail to finish it. This kind of thing is quite common. So am I trying to discourage people or encourage them? . . The weird writing is so interesting, but the same style is boring to death. Come on, Jinjiang has a long-awaited desire for another great master. (See how nondescript this sentence is)
