Tied! Really enjoyed this article! [Sahua] couldn't help but write a super subjective 3,000-word long review. My language organization skills are terrible and it's really subjective. I hope I didn't offend the author's wife (I can delete it if you mind!) The following is the text: I want to talk about my mother first, because my favorite person in the article is my mother. She is a strange story and has the brilliance of motherly love. She would stay by your bedside every night for more than ten years because of your crying when you woke up in the middle of the night as an infant; she may not necessarily understand those things in human society, but she would learn life knowledge and cook for you; she could not leave her own city, but when you fell into reincarnation in a different space in a car in another city, she somehow broke through the obstacles to save you. Integrating into human society is difficult and unnecessary for a Kaitan, but she allows you to be exposed to all this and strives to make you grow up as happily as a human child in a normal family. She is your protective umbrella in childhood and your solid backing when you grow up. She protects you and respects you, and even if she never says it, you have no doubt that she loves you. Mom is really the best mother. [Hug] Let's talk about the strange neighbor You Guang. When Chang An was a little kid, You Guang, who was a few years older than Chang An, looked like a little kid. He had a kind of naked and straightforward malice, monopoly, and destructiveness that belongs to a child. It can be said that it is very consistent with the characteristics of ghost stories. At this time, he was completely out of control, and his "yandere" attribute was more serious. Fortunately, I am easy to coax, and I still have my own little idol baggage. Chang'an is the only living thing in You Guang's long and unknown life. For You Guang, his "life" is only Chang'an and the others, and the others are indistinguishable, just like the idler and the king who "only dream of the idler but not the king." You Guang's real "living" time begins from this point on. So You Guang had maintained the appearance of a child for who knows how many years, but also began to change due to the arrival of Chang An, and his appearance and psychology grew with Chang An's growth. You Guang, who grew up with Chang An, gradually learned to tolerate emotions (but not too much) and did not explode as easily as he did when he was a child. However, his nature is hard to change, and the "yandere" began to transform into a "damp male ghost". At the same time, he began to think about his place next to Chang'an and learn about human emotional relationships. It was also at this time that the emotions soured. But his world was originally only Chang'an, which was paranoid and pure, both as a friendship and as a love. So has it gone bad? It seems not. His nature and this emotion actually combined into pure love. I never thought that the male ghost attribute and the pure love and youthful sentiment of a boy could be so well combined. [Please] Then there is our baby Changan! Our Chang'an was a sensible and brave boy when he was young, and he is also a sunny and cheerful young man when he grows up. He is like every ordinary student who has a little sense of justice but also has his own little thoughts. He is often chaotic and neutral, but as we all know, such ordinary students appear in works to save the world. Therefore, our Chang'an also shoulders the mission of balancing ghost stories and human cities. As Changan grows up, another side of his personality gradually emerges, and his chaotic and neutral traits seem to become more and more obvious. Changan's daily emotional intelligence is online and he is very likable. He is smart and independent, and his rationality and calmness also form a kind of subtle strength. He also has strong enough abilities to make him very reliable in the hearts of people who are familiar with him. Perhaps it was also because of his high quotient and subtle strength that he was able to coax You Guang around like training a dog, and the training was obviously very successful. However, it seems that it is not accurate to say that he is strong. It seems to be a kind of firm self-confidence, neither humble nor arrogant. He doesn't act in a high profile to avoid trouble, but he also doesn't deliberately hide his abilities in a low profile because he doesn't care about other people's opinions. It is the kind of self-consistent and calm strong mentality that neither causes trouble nor is afraid of. He won't save everyone, he has his own evaluation standards, and he won't be internalized by those he doesn't save. I feel that maybe for people who are not close to him, what he cannot save is life and death. If this is the case, it is very reasonable, especially after living in a city full of strange stories that may cause trouble for more than ten years, not to mention that Chang'an is a person who has died once. What he decides to do will not be changed easily, even if there is danger. He has an adventurous spirit and is always confident that he can solve the problem. He has never been really afraid of any weird stories. I wonder if he is thinking that if it really can't be solved, he will just die again like in his previous life, or become a monster or something. I always feel that Chang'an is also a bit "crazy". There is another surprising point: I feel that Changan is as possessive about intimate relationships as Youguang. The difference between him and You Guang is that You Guang is insecure because of worries about gains and losses, and feels that anyone can take Chang An away; while Chang An has a very sense of deservingness. He knows that You Guang will only belong to him, and he is confident that no one can take it away. As he said, "Of course you have to love me." This kind of character is rarely shown, probably because most of the time You Guang just stares at him and circles around him. It seems extreme, but it satisfies Chang'an's possessiveness. Before You Guang wanted to take possession of Chang'an, Chang'an had already taken possession of You Guang's world. You Guang once said that the reason why he saved Chang'an from other ghost stories when he was a child was because Chang'an was his target. However, looking back on the journey, Changan has always been the one in control of the overall rhythm. Maybe this is how high-end hunters tend to appear as prey. And this possessiveness is not only towards You Guang, but also towards his mother. You Guangming has already changed his name to mom, but Chang An will still be bothered every time he hears it, and will shout angrily, "That's my mom!" Youguang is my Youguang, and mother is my mother. Even though they are both my dearest people, they cannot take each other away from me. I can't help but write a bit too much, but there are still many things that I haven't written in detail. In short, Changan is really a very charming protagonist! [Spread flowers] Another character that breaks my heart is Lin Xizhi's mother. I feel sad every time I see her. Mother Lin saw the body of her child with her own eyes, but could not accept the death of her child. She kept posting missing persons notices until she met Lin Xizhi in disguise of You Guang many years later. You Guang is a weirdo, and he doesn't pretend well. The son who came back was obviously weird and would disappear every three days, but Mother Lin only hoped that this "Lin Xizhi" would be safe and come back. If she lost contact, she would nervously go to school to look for him. A mother who saw her child's body with her own eyes, even if she keeps posting missing persons notices, can she still deceive herself? The dead child suddenly comes back. Is he really still his child? Are we really still human...? She noticed that Lin Xizhi was abnormal, but she was willing to ignore all abnormalities. While my heart clenched, I breathed a sigh of relief. It is impossible to wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. If she really regards the returning Lin Xizhi as her son, waking up will only be doubly painful as a second loss. But she always understood that if she was willing to pretend to sleep, she would never wake up. Her posting of the missing person notice was more like an unstoppable ritual than a search, the inertia of maternal love. When You Guang, disguised as Lin Xizhi, appears, whether he is her son or not, she can stop her endless search. She had a reason to allow herself to let go, and she could love the strange "son" in front of her with "peace of mind" and concentration. Her undying maternal love had finally found its destination. She chooses to live in a flawed and weird dream, because even if this dream is terrifying, it is far better than the cold reality without a son. She was willing to indulge soberly. I won't talk about the other characters one by one. Most of them are well-shaped, cute and cute! [Spread flowers][sprinkle flowers][sprinkle flowers] Finally, it's a boast! This was my first time reading a long novel written in the second person, but I became addicted as soon as I read it. The second person perspective really gives you a great sense of immersion! It's really wonderful that the author gave the main character a nickname of "Baby" and went through the early stages before choosing a big name. "Baby" is both a name and a nickname. Everyone can be a "baby". It doesn't feel distant like a specific name, and it can naturally be put into the perspective of a five-year-old baby. Moreover, in the early stage, mothers, teachers, and children all called the protagonist "baby", and there was a sense of immersion that everyone was doting on him. (And when I grow up, calling me baby becomes even more ambiguous! It's not even gross! Genius name!) Chang'an's behavior when he was a child was very reasonable and in line with the behavior of a child, but he didn't feel childish and embarrassing at all, he just felt that it was the way it should be. Dependence and temptation on mother, fear and curiosity about unknown things are all the ignorant and pure cognition of five-year-old babies. After setting the stage in the early stage, as Chang'an grows, the plot naturally incorporates interpersonal relationships and emotional changes, with a step-by-step transition without being impatient. I really like this kind of long-lasting flow, feeling the birth of every little bit of emotion, and every day there will be more strange emotions. I think this is more intuitive: love you a little more every day than yesterday. The ghost stories are also very creative (and often very cute!), And the length is just right, with most of them ending within six or seven chapters. The story has a scary atmosphere, but it's not too scary. It's more like a fable and fairy tale with a bit of horror elements. It is very suitable for readers like me who are timid and love to read thriller stories. The protagonist gets stronger and stronger in the later stage, turning into a cool novel to save the world, which makes me happier watching it. And even though I have been running all kinds of weird stories, I have never left a super sweet emotional line! The plot and emotions are advancing on both sides at every moment! Both lines are of good quality and delicious! Thanks to the author's wife for allowing me to eat so well! ! [Spread flowers] I hope to keep updating! [Empty bowl]
Damn it, keep writing, author, come back soon [crying]
It's been so long since I've updated the episode, I thought I was watching it after it was over, but it didn't happen [crying]
It's been a long time since I've encountered such a palatable article, it's very interesting! ! I took a look at the comment section and the writing time, and I'm glad I saw it after it was finished, hahaha, otherwise I can't imagine how sad I would have been if it took so long to follow the writing.
It's been half a year, madam! It's time to write the next chapter! ! The extra card is here to replenish the medicine [vomiting blood][vomiting blood][vomiting blood]
Damn, I just saw a novel similar to yours. The protagonist in that book is so low, ungrateful, white-eyed wolf, and a waste! There's no way I can compare to you in writing!
When will the author open the old building? Then I will come to chase [Star Eyes]
Oh, boss, are you still writing?
Stop fighting zombies and come back soon for updates [empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl]
Ah? No more food [crying loudly] Wuwuwuwu [crying loudly]
