Fragrant Dream

Phew, finally finished reading the whole article. . . I don't know if you can see this message yet, but I still can't help but want to write down some thoughts: There is no doubt that, although I think the name is a bit disappointing, "Fragrant Dream" is still a rare and good article. The story follows a dark realistic style, describing the legendary life of a peerless beauty named Youan. "Scented Dream" is very realistic, so realistic that it makes you want to cry - Cinderella in the fairy tale is happy, but Cinderella in reality is sad, although Euan's experience is probably very lucky compared to her situation. The characters in the novel have love and hate, and have their own shortcomings and strengths. The darkness and bright spots in human nature are vividly interpreted in the palace life full of greed and helplessness. The outline and structure can be said to be rigorous, the full text has a plot and ideas, and the details are well arranged. Step by step from a beautiful, smart but immature little girl to the status of the emperor's mother, all kinds of betrayals and blows gradually dulled her heart. After going through many hardships, she only wanted to spend the rest of her life with the most sincere person, but in the end she was unable to do so. The ending of the story is not HE that the general public likes. Euan's love ends in the same helpless way as Queen Victoria's love history, but it is still endlessly memorable. (Maybe it's because the subject matter is too realistic and heavy, and I basically have no love for court literature, so "Fragrance Dream" does not resonate with me very much, and the following criticisms are probably untrue. But anyway, I still write down my own opinions.) The writing is realistic, but I think the biggest weakness of this article is that it is not delicate enough. I always feel that some parts can be written more exciting and more fascinating. Throughout the whole text, I feel that I am reading a script rather than a book. Yes, the plot arrangement reflects the author's ingenuity; yes, some emotions are expressed in words; yes, important dialogues are also written, but I always feel that something is missing, maybe because the words are too straightforward? The story is narrated from Euan's point of view, but I think the author wrote the story from the perspective of a bystander, neither cold nor hot, and his description of the characters' emotions is often as bland as white water. Perhaps Baby wants to emphasize Euan's heart that has been tortured to the point of numbness and his mature mentality that remains calm after going through big storms. Most of the time, Euan's mentality seems to me to be unwavering. When we readers feel that she should be in pain, her emotions are only lightly touched upon, making it difficult to detect. Since Euan is the protagonist, the emotions of the readers and the characters in the book are separated and separated due to the influence of this protagonist, and they are unable to better empathize with each other. (Maybe describing more of the characters' facial expressions and eyes can solve these problems?) I think most of the middle parts are written in a narrative tone. The beginning and the last chapter are my favorites because they are the parts that I feel are the most vivid and emotional. Especially at the end, although she is an old woman, Youan finally shows the vigor and emotion of a belated girl, and she becomes more like a flesh-and-blood person. Maybe it's the first time I've written a protagonist like this, so that's why I have such a problem of having difficulty controlling my emotional expression? In any case, this article was written a long time ago, and I believe your writing style must have become more mature and beautiful now, so maybe my opinions have no effect. However, I still wrote a review. After all, the author spent so much effort to write this article. PS Didn't I say that the quote or proverb at the beginning of each paragraph of this article is one of my favorites?

Very nice article. . .

Clap your paws and scatter flowers

Very good The author's writing style is smooth and sophisticated, and his thoughts are mature. I feel this is one of the best articles I have ever read in Jinjiang.

I found that Jinjiang still had a lot of mature and good articles very early on, such as this one, but the current articles are really impetuous, novice, and superficial. .

Like~~~Come on~~

I felt so tired after reading it, but it was good. It requires mental energy to read and even more energy to write.

I don't see it very clearly!!!!

~~It's a bit confusing. Why did the character suddenly run into another time period? It's a bit confusing.

It's really great. It's rare to have such a soul-stirring bunraku nowadays. Thanks.
