The lights are dimming, and everything is blurred.
Life and death are separated, and the smile is lonely.
If you think that novels are just about telling a story, you can find mediocre plots and vulgar dialogues in any bookstore or website. If you are just hunting for a legend, if you don't think that today's mainstream literature is a flood and disaster of words.
So, who is irrelevant.
If you are willing to feel the truth and beauty of words, let your soul be enlightened by the flowing words. If you agree that life is a tragedy, and tragedy is the reality of life.

It makes you conflicted.
So, please look at this article from the perspective of a 100,000-word novel.
