Bizarre Cases from the Counseling Room

Jinjiang's hidden gem is really not something that can't be covered

I have been following it since the serialization began and have rewatched it many times now. Can't find a novel about meal replacement

Isn't this book still unfinished after so long?

What I care about most is the love life of Brother Zhu and the heroine.

How could Yaoyao's mother fall in love with a man who loves to brag so much? Now the child has been harmed too

I've finished reading it. It's so well written and the characters are very three-dimensional [Rainbow Fart]

Although some chapters are locked, each story is still novel. Thought provoking

I've finished reading it, and I'm still not finished. It would be great if I could write more.

Overall, I think this book has more flaws than highlights, but the highlights outweigh the flaws. So I write the flaws first and the highlights later. Defects: 1. Novels based on reality need to draw a large number of materials from real life and even examples of people around them, and they will definitely reflect the social environment and ideological concepts in a certain era. This type of novel can reflect the times to a certain extent, and will also be affected by the ideas and concepts of the times. Times have changed, and when later readers read this kind of novel again, they will inevitably feel disconnected and uncomfortable with the ideas reflected in the book. In particular, the book is set in 2014, and most of the stories mentioned in the book happened earlier. After more than 20 years, many ideas have changed long ago. Therefore, if we look at this novel according to the current evaluation standards, we will naturally feel that some of the ideas in the novel are obviously backward, outdated and even fallacious. This is the limitation of the times that pseudo-documentary novels have, and it is also its inherent flaw. 2. The author is not "ruthless" or "accurate" enough when dealing with the endings of most unit articles. This is reflected in the fact that the author cannot imagine how these events will end, and he is too timid to give a specific (metaphysical sense) truth. He is also unable to use scientific theories to explain the reasons for the occurrence of these short stories, so he can only sum them up as "nothing". The problem is that the author doesn't even want to find more reasons why the story "can't end". Every time it comes down to "the protagonist is not at the first scene and can't follow up", which inevitably leads to aesthetic fatigue and easily makes readers feel that the story has come to an abrupt end. This is a characteristic of OE works, and it is also a natural flaw of OE works. 3. There are many typos, but they do not affect reading. Even thinking of Liu Xinyang's portraits, we can also rely on character creation. For example, as a "pseudo-writer", Liu Xinyang wrote a few typos in the book and was too lazy to correct it later. It seemed to be a matter of course. After talking about the flaws, it's time to talk about the highlights. "Reality". The author used 300,000 words to present one story after another to readers, but what impressed me most was not the stories themselves, but Liu Xinyang who recorded these stories. Just like a netizen said in the comment area: "Who has never seen a Ferris wheel, but this is the first time I see you. This is the photo that was born for you." Who has never heard of bizarre psychological cases, but this is the first time I see Liu Xinyang. The author spared no effort to create such a "real" character, and you can almost easily realize how likely Liu Xinyang actually exists in real life. She is indeed a virtual character created by the author, but she does have everything a "real" person should have in real life. In order to make the character "perfect", the author did not deliberately design some plots to highlight the protagonist's high IQ or high strength and other outstanding abilities. He did not even avoid the wrong conclusions that the character would draw and the wrong actions he would make (of course, this also includes ideas that are outdated in the current version). In novels, "creating an imperfect but real character" requires more courage and courage than "creating a character that will be liked". I admire the author's courage very much, and I also admire Liu Xinyang's attitude towards life. By the way, when I meet Liu Xinyang in real life, I probably won't be able to talk about in-depth topics with her, but we will definitely have a very pleasant conversation when we talk about eating and drinking. Excellent authors often have the ability to write four-dimensional characters using one-dimensional words. Of course people are three-dimensional creatures, but the author can stretch out the character's timeline and fill in the character's different reactions to the same thing according to different time nodes, thereby reflecting the character's change and growth, also known as "arc". Authors who can grab a handful of words and refine them instantly are even more powerful. Such authors often only write about the character's reaction at a certain node, and readers can see his reaction at different nodes before and after life. It is the author's skill to be able to write such a dynamic character, and it is an honor for the reader to read about such a character. Liu Xin Yang Zheng gives me such a feeling. Perhaps because the book is in first person, I didn't notice that the other characters gave me the same feeling. I can see Liu Xinyang's past, present and future. I can see this character's thoughts, words and deeds constantly changing and growing, just like everyone in real life. It is now 2026, 12 years have passed since 2014. I think if I can see the 40-year-old Liu Xinyang record "Strange Cases in Psychological Counseling" again, I will be able to see a different Liu Xinyang. Obviously, two of the flaws in this book are "fated". Once the subject and direction are chosen, there will inevitably be such flaws. But the highlight of this book is its "uniqueness" and deserves separate praise. I won't say that as long as a book has enough advantages, it must be a good article, but I think that as long as there is one bright spot, it is a novel worth spending time to read intensively. In addition, in the writing process of the whole book, the author has two areas that are not handled "perfectly", which I also list below. 1. About Brother Zhu. This question is a small one, so I'll talk about it first. As mentioned above, in the process of solving flaw 2 (or writing the ending), some chapters tend to be answered from a metaphysical perspective, especially the unit article involving Brother Zhu. First of all, it is obvious that this approach is inconsistent with the purpose of this book. The purpose of this book is "to maintain a sense of awe when faced with things that cannot be explained by scientific theories, because they will definitely be able to get scientific answers in the future." If we follow the direction of metaphysical answers, the purpose becomes "answers that cannot be explained by scientific theories can be explained by metaphysics, and we must maintain respect and yearning for metaphysics." (Considering that the author said in his essay that this book was just written for fun at the beginning, I am not sure whether the author thought of this idea from the beginning. I can only say that after reading the units one by one, the novel as a whole gave me the same feeling as above) I was very happy to see that this part of the plot was cut in the author's remarks. Because this means that the purpose of this book is unified, and it is more "perfect". Of course, after being cut off, the values ​​​​have become more positive. This is the influence outside the book. But when I say this, I don't think that Brother Zhu's character setting and characterization are not good, nor do I deny the author's emotional line. On the contrary, I think the emotional line between the two is also very "real", and the extra story is also very interesting. Just think that Sister Liu and Brother Zhu fell in love in a parallel time and space where physical books were not published! 2. About Liu Xinyang. There is only one place where I feel that the logic is not "real" enough, that is, "in order to promote the development of the plot, character creation (intelligence reduction) is sacrificed." But I don't think this is a big problem. When the protagonist of a suspenseful horror film encounters an unfortunate experience, it will always give people a feeling of "you deserve it, who made you die", because this type of film relies on the actions of the protagonist to promote the plot and reveal the final truth. If the protagonist has no subjective initiative and no desire to seek the truth, then the novel will feel like it did before entering the main line, always ending abruptly. Once the protagonist shows his subjective initiative, in order to use contradictions to advance the development of the plot, the protagonist's behavior will inevitably appear to be "intelligible". Because the protagonist will inevitably encounter bad results after taking action, it is easy for the audience/readers to blame the cause and think that the bad results are caused by the protagonist "seeking death". This kind of writing is too easy to cause the protagonist to be scolded, which is something Shuangwen cannot allow. At a time when refreshing novels in a broad sense are becoming more popular, such protagonists (meaning that the protagonist gets bad results after his actions, which makes the protagonist seem to be losing his wits) are becoming increasingly rare. However, I am still very happy to see such a protagonist, and I hope that there are reasonable reasons behind the protagonist's actions, rather than becoming a part of the creator's promotion of the plot. In this book, when Director Wu, Liu Xinyang, and Brother Zhu entered the villa, there was also a situation where "the protagonist sought death." Judging from the information given above, the protagonist's "suicide" behavior can be explained. One is the protagonist's own character portrait, and the other is the various things the protagonist himself has encountered recently. But the previous "bad result" is still in front of us, and no reasonable reason has been given (such as showing the protagonist's psychology). Activities) to explain the protagonist's behavior, and also insert a "love line" element, which makes it seem as if the protagonist has encountered difficulties in the love line, so he also became reckless in the plot line. Generally speaking, the general direction of the shaping is correct, and the details of the sub-plot can be further polished. I would like to mention one more thing. Although the author did not explicitly give an "ending" to all the unit essays, he was still very bold in selecting topics for the unit essays. Several units chose some sensitive and controversial topics at that time and today. Regardless of whether these topics themselves are mentioned, the speeches of the characters in the book would definitely be enough to cause a "bloody storm" now. However, I think that reviewing a novel should be based on the time when the novel was written and the time when the novel was written. Therefore, these possible "bloody storms" in the end are just water for me. The above is my entire review of this book. I am very happy to read this book this year.

I want to know if the character of Brother Zhu was made up? No 😭 I really want to know if these two are real?
