A long review for this great book
This book is not the story of how a mage became powerful and became a god, but the story of how a mage saved himself, his relatives and friends. First of all, how to obtain powerful magical power is not the focus of this book, so readers who are interested in reading cultivation articles can stop and think about it. What you can do after you have the strength is the focus of this article. Therefore, the magic system in the book is neither subtle nor complex. Magic can be released by concentrating magic power and chanting incantations. There are no mysterious magic models or profound theoretical formulas. So if you think the protagonist's three-state water magic is child's play and his strength growth is too ideal, you are indeed right, but so what. The important thing is that the protagonist has gained great strength because of this, so good that he can intervene in the conspiracy between the church and various countries. Then, since it has been explained that the core of this book is that the protagonist sets off a wave, resists the church, and regains the soil for the survival of the magic camp. So intrigues and intrigues are naturally the main theme of this book. Therefore, readers who want to see Xiaobai's magic writing can stop and think about it. This is probably one of the very few novels I have read in which the IQs of the supporting characters never fall off the line. One plan after another! Unlike the flimsy conspiracies of other novels, the protagonist can stop the mastermind by breaking a link. In this book, Benjamin uses his wisdom to break one link, and the mastermind behind the scenes will immediately change and start another new link. Reading this book, you seem to be able to see a group of living characters colliding and intertwining before your eyes. The protagonist is not unintelligent and can avoid all kinds of crises through clever maneuvers, but the supporting characters are even smarter. The actions of the protagonist cause the overall situation to spiral out of control, and the supporting character takes advantage of the waves to find new opportunities in the chaotic situation! The more you read this book, the more you may feel aggrieved for the protagonist. Why are these supporting characters always able to discern opportunities, and even come first, turning the protagonist's efforts into another source of motivation? But the protagonist is so stupid that the enemy will always find an opportunity. I really want to say, is the protagonist stupid? No, he's not stupid at all. You must know that the enemy occupies huge intelligence resources. It is very wise for the protagonist to see through the enemy's plan by closely looking for clues. But it is not surprising that the enemy can regain the situation by relying on his own means and resources.
😰 What kind of revolution is just a war between a group of superiors. It has not broken the old world and established a new order. It has hundreds of chapters and is basically nonsense, and it is not interesting. The emotional description is like shit, and the strategy is like a child's play house...
Good guys, a group of talents who say that the back part is wonderful but the front part is a little bit poisonous, the front part is poisoned to death, and there is no desire to be wonderful in the back part. Since you are so good, why do you poison the early part? Even if you are wonderful in the early part, it is better to add more poison in the later part. It is obvious that the author is not good enough. He is looking for the water army to brag about how exciting the back part is, and the front part can be tolerated 😒😒😒
I have finished spreading flowers. I have been reading it for a long time. I feel that many holes have not been filled, but that's it. This book made me excited. The battle between the church and the mages, the truth of history, the changes of the male protagonist, the choice of life and death, the game of IQ, and the improvement of the world view. It is really better than many routine and systematic texts. The author only wrote one book, but his writing skills are except for the shortcoming of being too hasty in the ending. In addition, it actually made it impossible for me to find more shortcomings. The daily teasing with the funny system and the life-and-death struggle with the stubborn church were vividly displayed. It reminded me of The Devil's Law of Dancing. In fact, I read this book at the beginning for no other reason than because I was attracted by the IQ of the supporting characters. In the early stage, the male protagonist was a chess piece commanded by the chess players, and he grew up to be a chess player step by step! I don't have enough writing skills to comment on more things, but I know very well that this is a good novel. The story may not be perfect, but it is not perfect at the same time and shows a trace of truth! Just like what I said at the end, I still feel like something is missing.
Some thoughts on this book
First of all, we must admit that this book does not fall into the trap of a cool novel. The protagonist, supporting characters and villain's IQs are all online for a long time. The plot also has ups and downs. The protagonist's experience of struggling to survive is very interesting. But the plot began to change as it got longer. It was forcibly advanced in order to advance the plot, and forcibly added difficulties to the protagonist. New difficulties appeared before the exciting point broke out. The rhythm of the whole book is a continuous cycle of "the enemy is too strong - the protagonist works hard to defeat the enemy - and new enemies appear again." But the villain is the Church from the beginning to the end. Why does the protagonist cheat all the way but always fights these enemies, and still can't defeat them? Therefore, the villains lack a sense of hierarchy, and the enemies are all tool men who appear to increase the difficulty. Every encounter is too similar, and the more you read, the more tired you become. Secondly, the structure is too small, and the dramatic conflicts have no ups and downs. The revolution has been going on for a long time, but it is just a struggle for power. What is the difference between the church and the magistrates for ordinary people? Moreover, when encountering problems, they rely on coups and the protagonist Wushuang. All pig-foot knights are weak chickens who can kill hundreds of people with one move. What are the political stances of different people? What are the interests and capabilities? How capable is a country? How many people are there in the church? Where does the money come from? How did the coup happen? How were these people dispatched? There is no way to explain it clearly. I can only write out a group of enemies wherever necessary. In essence, it still becomes the story of Long Aotian, but it does not have the same sense of fun as a refreshing novel.
It has been 5 years, and I have come back every once in a while to see if there is any news from the author. As a result, I have not received any news, but I have watched the comments in the comment area become more and more chaotic. When I read the book back then, most of it received positive reviews, but now a lot of "book friends xxxxx" just call it rubbish and leave. Real things change and people change. If there are any new readers who want to read this book, please don't pay attention to the comments in the comments, go read it, and read it for yourself. It's best if you like it, but I hope you can be merciful if you don't like it. After all, the author is probably gone.
Many people can't stand the early stage, but I just think that the early stage is the most exciting and unconventional.
To be honest, I can understand some people in the comment area who say things are bad and want to persuade him to quit at the beginning. Some people directly come up to spam him and praise him for his good qualities. Who is the navy? I just don't understand why someone just stepped on a niche article with an unknown author that has been completed for a long time.
It came for revolution, but in the end it didn't feel like revolution. It was just a war between one group of extraordinary beings and another group of extraordinary beings, and the process of a group of carnivores re-dividing their spheres of influence.
The author of this book has strong writing style, very detailed and true descriptions, rigorous logic, online IQ, and good knowledge. However, it became more and more uncomfortable to watch. Most of the characters in the article are engaged in a zero-sum game, which in layman's terms is a one-shot deal. Why do many people dislike Michelle, but many people feel uncomfortable when she is really dead? She must become stronger and seek revenge, and everything she does is a matter of life and death. She and the protagonist are in a zero-sum game, and one of them must die. The author's description is delicate, and many people sympathize with Michelle. The author also pours his emotions into it, and does not want her to die, and it is illogical for her not to die. It is normal for a small number of people to be so psychopathic, and they may have unknown stories. In history, things like the Xuanwu Gate Incident and Jing Ke's assassination of Qin were like this, where the king succeeded and the enemy failed. When all important characters in the book are like this, the social structure will be deformed, and this kind of world cannot exist stably. Everyone is engaged in a zero-sum game, and both parties will lose in the end. The Pope wants to kill all the mages. High-end mages like Granny can assassinate them. Low-end mages may not be able to organize a revolutionary force, but everyone can still kill a few of your villages. Productivity is the basis. There are terrorists all over the world. The Holy Kingdom does not need Granny, and it has been destroyed long ago. The same goes for the queen using drugs to control mages. If a mortal dares to do this, he will either lay two corpses on his body and bleed for five steps, or he will ban the curse and massacre the city, leaving the world in peace. Some of the mid-range villains in the article also do this. It's a fight to the death, which is totally illogical. Peace on the surface, but undercurrents are the mainstream of the game. In this kind of world, the protagonist also logically changes from an ordinary person to a terrorist and a leader. If it were not for cheating to save his life, he would have died a hundred times.
