I felt uncomfortable reading this article. I thought about it carefully and made some analysis: First of all, from the perspective of the world view, immortals are superior, while mortals are humble and inferior to pigs and dogs. The transformation of the heroine from an ordinary little country girl to a god is something that most people cannot achieve in this worldview, which means that the story itself has a certain counterattack legendary quality. From the heroine's own point of view, the heroine's subjective initiative is limited in the first half of her life. In the entire story, it can be said that most of what she gains comes from her sexual activities with the male protagonist. Whether voluntarily or forced, the heroine gets benefits from the boss through sex, and these benefits cannot even be regarded as transactions, because they are not consensual. Therefore, such a plot highlights the heroine's chastity and "self-improvement" from an obscure angle. From the three aspects of world view, story line and heroine's character, this story is remarkable, but the combination is particularly strange: in the world view that all living things are suffering, and mortals are inferior to pigs and dogs, the heroine's story line is involuntary in the first half of her life. It seems logical and smooth. Even if she essentially relies on the male protagonist to survive, there will be no sense of separation. In the counterattack story line, it seems reasonable and smooth for the heroine to kill everyone in the Small Universe, gain faith, and then become a god. But when the two are combined, a canary who comes from a humble background and is looked down upon by immortal cultivators becomes the king and hegemon in the lower-dimensional world, so he also has the same faith in the high-dimensional world, and finally dominates everyone. Is this logic really reasonable and smooth? To summarize the full text, the first thing is the confusion of the worldview. This article has a certain basic world view: immortal cultivators are superior, mortals are not treated as human beings, and some commonly seen fantasy settings. However, in such a world view, the power system is chaotic and disorderly. The author refers to who is stronger. In Little Universe, it is obviously a low-level world of martial arts but only the female protagonist can practice. The male protagonist is young but can challenge powerful people in single combat, etc. It can be said that such a power system itself serves the plot, rather than the plot developing according to the world view. In the world view, monks are aloof and immune to dust, while mortals are like ants, but monks have a relationship with mortals similar to "ruling and being ruled". The rulers may not take the ruled seriously, but they must keep them in their hands. The monks are arrogant, which makes people wonder where the foundation of their rule lies. The monks have fast-forwarded to the steam age, while mortals are still in farming civilization, and there are loopholes in the worldview that is not perfect. The reason why I put the worldview in the first place is related to the main theme of this article - self-pleasure. According to my understanding, self-pleasure should be similar to the sage's saying "do whatever you want and do not violate the rules". The heroine's counterattack from desperate situation has a layer of "self-improvement" in it. In this type of writing with strong value output, the author can easily export value for the sake of output. And causing more hardships to the heroine, this is why I first questioned the unreasonable worldview of this article: in a worldview that is logically closed and can form its own set of operating rules, the protagonist's behavior will tend to be more reasonable (only refers to reasonableness in the novel's worldview), and the influence of the author's will on the protagonist will be reduced, thereby improving the rationality of the author's views. Of course, if the world view is logical enough and self-contained, even the author himself would find it difficult to create a counterattack ending in such a world (authors who can write a grand worldview often mean that their abilities should not be underestimated), and it is difficult to write in this way, so many counterattack articles adopt the method of giving the protagonist a starting point. A way of cheating, breaking the rules of this world, and achieving a counterattack "shuangwen-style ending", but the point of view output type of writing is not suitable for this kind of cheating method for the protagonist, because it is not based on reality, no matter how extravagant the value output is, it cannot change its essence of not being based on reality. The essence of a loose worldview is the same as the protagonist's cheating. They both give the author the power to change the logic of the world at will. In essence, a novel without a complete worldview is not worthy of talking about values, because the roots do not exist, let alone bear any good fruit. The issue of worldview is one of the obvious fallacies in the writing of this article that I want to point out. The second problem is the conflict between the values of this article and the world view. I have analyzed the inseparable connection between worldview and value output above. Unfortunately, due to the contradiction in worldview and the author's lack of clarity about what he wants to express, it has led to an extremely serious fragmentation in his values, which in turn has led to a serious collapse of character design and failure in value output. One point of conflict is that the author attaches too much importance to sex, so much so that he ignores other social and humanistic moral logic. The direct result of the imperfect world view mentioned above is that the author can change the plot at will, so that everything in the plot serves the values. What the author wants to discuss most is sexual topics, causing all plots and characters to deviate towards sexual topics. The topic of sex is of course a topic that must be discussed and deserves more thinking and development, but it is not the only one in the world. Apart from sex, for example, the heroine changes from a mortal to a monk, and her class attributes change, which brings about the conflict of values, between mortals and monks The class conflict between people, except for the heroine who is aloof, the "self-pleasure" of other ordinary people, etc., Are all things that can constitute the connotation of "self-pleasure". It is a pity that the author does not bother to describe it like this, even if the heroine is in the small universe. After becoming a general and emperor, the author has little interest in her actual policies, and even less mention of other people in the small universe. He can't wait for the heroine to achieve great success, return to the big world, and slap the faces of those who have hurt the heroine - when Although the description in the article is that the heroine is dismissive of those people in her past, but whether it is to cater to the market or the author's personal expectations, the heroine's actual actions and the plot closely connected with her all focus on the heroine's entanglement with the past. As mentioned above, all the plots that occur in the broken worldview come from the expression of the author's own will. Under the author's instruction, the subjective initiative of the heroine in this article, which is rare in Little Universe, is once again weakened and becomes a foil for the plot and value output. As for "self-pleasure", it is only the self-pleasure of the heroine. The heroine gains benefits from active or passive transactions with men. In addition, the obstacles deliberately arranged by the author to achieve the twists and turns of the plot push the heroine into the small world to counterattack, thus achieving the heroine's lifelong achievement of surpassing everyone and overlooking it. This is the value that the author wants to export. Are such values universal? No. Not everyone is willing to put down their dignity to get the benefits of a man. There is no man like in the article whose appearance, ability, power, and money are far beyond ordinary people and give a life-worthy love to ordinary people. There is also not a large group of tool men who only serve the male protagonist rushing to slap ordinary people in the face. Ordinary people do not have the fate to survive the catastrophe. Therefore, what this article exports is that only the heroine is happy, (not completely happy, half happy) the male protagonist is accompanied by the heroine, and the others are busy acting as cannon fodder. The value of "self-pleasure" is not based on reality, has no feasibility, and is packaged beautifully. It is actually a combination of petty bourgeoisie, refined egoism and social Darwinism. Not to mention feminism and female self-improvement. Such values are not worthy at all! Question three, character design. The character design of this article is based on a romance novel. The male protagonist splits the world and has a respected status. A lot of people rush to praise the male protagonist high. The female protagonist is humble, but was transformed into a beautiful woman. She has no talent, but the plot will give the female protagonist talents. This is a very cliched character design. The female protagonist gets love and resources from the male protagonist, and eventually becomes a boss. The only innovative point is probably that the female protagonist is always thinking about self-improvement as if she is being given instructions! You can't rely on men! As for what she got, what can I say? I didn't do it voluntarily, so you can't scold me. I don't want to say more about the character design, after all, it is just a one-step romance novel, but I want to emphasize that if the character design cannot be grounded in reality, the values it carries must also be untenable. Finally, I would like to talk about self-improvement essays. Many people have complained that in recent years, self-reliant female protagonists cannot be found in novels. I think there are important factors in this that are due to changes in the general environment, but more importantly, it is because the nature of online novels does not give self-reliant female protagonists room to take root and grow. No matter how great online novels are touted, they are still entertainment-based business writing. In business writing, making money is the first priority. Three thousand updates a day is a duty. Extra updates are a must. Not updating is courting death. In entertainment writing, readers' happiness is the first priority, so refreshing and sweetness are the market's choices. The self-improvement protagonist itself has the attribute of hard work and hard work, which is contrary to the nature of entertainment, and self-improvement stories are closely related to value output, requiring a rigorous world view, a smooth story line, and a steady and stable character of the heroine. On a deeper level, values and labor concepts that are close to the masses. True self-improvement cannot go too far away from the masses and reality. What? You mean the heroine of Shuangwen? That's not called self-improvement, that's called hanging up. True self-improvement means that there are no external forces to break the rules. The protagonist relies solely on his own ability to fight. As for how far the protagonist can go, it all depends on the author's ability. However, such an article is destined to need repeated polishing and requires the author's own ability. Three thousand updates a day? If it is not a 3,000-word hydrology, the 3,000-word output contains at least 30,000 words of input from the author. No commercial author has the time and ability to write like this. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are "four dissimilarities" like this article in online novels: it is neither a romance novel nor a realistic writing, it is neither a light entertainment nor an output of correct values; its positioning is wavering, pulling left and right, making it boring to read. However, the development of online novels so far is only in its infancy. It is still unknown whether it will fall off or develop in a more realistic direction in the future. Although my words are often criticized, this article does have its own unique innovations. I believe readers will like it. If you don't agree with my humble opinion here, it is definitely not worth your time to refute. Just treat me as a small stone on the roadside and let it go~
I have read this article several times. I am very envious of the heroine's strong core and it has also given me a lot of inspiration. Later, I saw a lot of lightning protection articles on a certain 🍠, as well as the two articles about Tan Hua Lang and Princess, which happened to be the ones I had read. After reading those lightning protection posts, I found that the most common comments people made were that they hated women, treated the female protagonist too badly, the male protagonist had moral flaws, the male protagonist was unclean, etc. I was very moved after reading their reviews. I feel that the article on the sleeve side gives me a very real feeling. Dada has been exploring what would happen to a character with this kind of character and what he could achieve if he were really in that kind of environment. I can also understand why those who try their best to avoid lightning are so unable to accept the big text. In fact, everyone just reads online articles for fun, or even just wants to read fairy tales. When most online writers create dreams for us, they take off the veil with great understatement and put the evil of human nature in front of us. It is normal that many people cannot accept it. I remember that when I was in junior high school and before, I was completely unable to accept any novel with a be ending. As I grew older, I inevitably experienced a lot of pain. Sometimes things are just like this, just like what is described in the text "Border Town", even if no one is a villain, there will always be tragedies of this kind and mistake in life. I remember that when I was in high school, I fantasized about pure love. Everyone longs to be loved, and it is unconditional love, eternal love, and women especially care about this kind of love. That's why they recognize the value of diamonds because of the "diamonds represent eternal love" marketed by Ziben, and spend money far beyond the value of the diamond itself to pursue a pure, pure, real, and eternal love. This is indeed a beautiful fairy tale and one that everyone wants. But in reality, the person who loves you the most is actually you. For some people, the love of parents is even conditional, not to mention the love of a man. Even so, I will always believe in love. I believe that two souls that are compatible with each other will definitely have their own love. But the most difficult thing in the world is how to find someone who is completely soul-compatible with you. Therefore, the love that everyone pursues often leads to dissatisfaction of one kind or another, and worries about gains and losses. In fact, I think the relationship between Zhusheng and Fan Shen is love. They understand each other's souls. This mutual understanding from the depth of the soul is a love that is deeper than physical attraction, and it is what I yearn for now. So I actually don't agree with those lightning protection posts that Da Da deliberately created tragedy for the heroine. I think almost all the characters in Da Da's works finally achieved spiritual liberation (except for Lin Ying in Jin Sha), including even Mu's Gu Qingxia, who exchanged her own death for spiritual liberation. I think this kind of relief can make people feel a kind of peace from deep inside, and it also gives me a new understanding of life experience. Now I actually envy those girls who want to be protected from lightning. How well they have been protected by our era. It is because they have not been exposed to the heart-wrenching evils of human nature that they still have unrealistic and cute illusions about the world. Many people even have this fantasy about feudal society. The male protagonist they expect is actually a person with the moral and spiritual core of modern people, who cosplays into the role of an ancient dignitary. They are still looking forward to a male protagonist who is still affectionate, dedicated and dignified even in feudal society. In fact, how cute he is. After all, this kind of character is difficult to achieve even in modern society. I also hope that they can always be so carefree, just like me. I wrote so much without realizing it. It was really out of emotion and to commemorate my lost youth. Learn from the protagonists in Xiubi's novels. No matter what situation they are in, they will try their best to make themselves better off. Only the strong can enjoy themselves. Each of us is the person who loves ourselves the most. I hope we can always say to ourselves: "I love you, Laoji!" I am very grateful to Xiu Bian Dada for bringing me many thought experiments. I am very encouraged by Dada Da's insistence on writing with my heart. I hope I can become a person with a strong core like Dada. [Spread flowers][sprinkle flowers][sprinkle flowers]
The whole story has a bit of an epic feel, with this feeling of ruthlessly slashing people and killing a large area with one cut. There are also many complicated life experiences (the heroine, Xu Jing, Qing Jun, Qida, Rui Ying, Chong Yu, Chong Qi, Chong Lin, etc.), Some echoing foreshadowing, characters and cause and effect. The minor characters are all well drawn, but Changtian is a bit rough compared to Demon Lord: he has been away for thousands of years, but he is still an arrogant pretender when he returns...
It's just a story about a stupid god who caused a huge disaster hahahaha
I skipped and watched the ending. I feel that my wife is not suitable for writing about cultivating immortals, and is more suitable for writing about other themes. The short story I read is amazing and has great staying power. As a lover of cultivation literature, I read fifty chapters. I would have given up on the first ten chapters of other books, but I still didn't like it.
Suddenly I thought, if "Zi Huan" is used as a popular word this year, would it be "Love You Old One"?
It's beautiful. Thank you for writing such a beautiful book. It's full of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and the journey has been full of ups and downs until now, incomplete and complete. Goodbye Zhusheng Goodbye Chongxin Goodbye Su Rong Baby Goodbye Xu Shou Goodbye Chonglin Goodbye Chongqi Goodbye Chongyu Goodbye Pearl Goodbye Little Fox Goodbye Changtian Goodbye Ruiying Goodbye Xiao Song Goodbye Mr. Fan Goodbye Ling Niang Goodbye Qida Goodbye Maomao Goodbye Yanlang Goodbye Huihui Goodbye Feng Yun Goodbye Cang Tong Goodbye Chongrong Goodbye Shuweng... I can't bear to part with you, I can't bear to part with you~~ Let's start a new article soon!
I'm thinking about what the "law" is. If Cang Tong hadn't come to this world thousands of years ago and pulled Chang Tian out of the formation, the Demon Lord would have died together with Chang Tian. Perhaps it is precisely to repair this that "Law" also sent the heroine to this world.
At first I didn't like this novel very much, because she is the unluckiest heroine in all the time-travel novels I have read. She was obviously the one who saved the common people in her first life, but she was so unlucky when she traveled to another world! She was used as a cauldron, hunted down, and had no backhand power at all. Both men and women bullied her, but the more she went on, the more fascinated she became. The author made every character in the article flesh-and-blood, with their own characteristics. The god will also make mistakes, and will sacrifice his life to make up for his mistakes. He will not talk about the justice of the world in a sanctimonious way. , After the heroine became the number one in the world, she did not forget the world where she was once the emperor, and would go to save her people. Whether it was Su Rong or Xu Shou, they all had their own lifelines, and they were whatever they were. I didn't say they were important roles around the heroine, so I just added as many scenes as possible. This is a very complete novel, very good.
After watching Here Comes the Flower Boy, how can I put it, today I suddenly like this kind of experienced heroine who has some worldly compromises and has her own ideas, but after watching it, I feel a little disappointed.
