For a work to count as fantasy, in the narrow sense of the term, it needs a complete world of its own. Stories that grow out of such a world are what we call fantasy. The first category is mainstream fantasy, or epic fantasy. Often compared with sword-and-sorcery fantasy, it focuses on grander themes and broader plots. Rather than individual adventures, it deals with political struggles, wars between nations, and the fate of the world. Works in this category tend to be meticulously written and r
An Ongoing Record of Novels Read and Currently Reading
I have an idea to write a review of most of the novels I've read over the past ten years, as a record of my reading life and experiences.
My Full-Subscription Hidden Gems
This is a commemorative list with four criteria: the book must be available for subscription, I must have read it to the end, I must have subscribed to the entire book, and it must not yet have earned the “excellent work” designation. I'll remove books once they earn it. Of course, differences in perception caused by subjective opinions in reviews are perfectly normal. I haven't written many reviews myself, so sensible discussion is welcome. One more thing: This list isn't meant to recommend b

For Readers in a Slump: My Picks, Every One a Good Read
I've been reading on Qidian for nearly 20 years and have witnessed the development of online fiction from the very beginning. Trust an old hand's judgment: I won't recommend bad books. Most of my recommendations are aimed at male readers, though there are some for female readers too. They cover everything from xianxia, fantasy, sci-fi, history, wuxia, romance, and business to light novels. I just don't recommend many brainless wish-fulfillment stories, so please bear with me! La la la!

Reading Eight Hours a Day
An old bookworm's record of novels I think are worth reading, shared with everyone. I don't expect this list to take off; I just want to share and discuss books with you all. I've noticed a lot of big-name authors bringing online forums into their novels. It instantly makes stories that would otherwise be serious or tragic feel lighthearted and fun, and somehow incredibly entertaining. I'll recommend a few such novels below. I won't go into the plots in detail; I'll just point out each book's di

It took me three days to read it, some simple impressions
For me, the evaluation of novels is nothing more than four aspects: text, characters, plot and ideas. When it comes to online novels, the depth of thought should be replaced by enjoyment/entertainment. When it comes to fantasy novels, a world view structure should be added. The author's words are not enough to stand alone and are at least significantly different from those of Jiangnan, Yehu under the Trees, and Fenghuo Opera Princes, but they are enough to carry the feelings he wants to describe and the scenery he wants to paint, and can be called informative and vivid. The only thing worthy of criticism is that it occasionally loses conciseness, especially when writing dialogues and calculations. Reading the chapters, it seems that the author also wants to correct this problem. In terms of characters, whether it is Yara or this book, the protagonists of The Prodigal Son give people a sense of déjà vu, and everyone is a good person. Looking at the skilled white school stalker and senior sister flag in this book, I feel that I have every reason to believe that the Prodigal Son is a two-dimensional person 😃. Generally speaking, the shortcomings of character creation are probably that it is too templated and too true, kind and beautiful. The advantage is that... Contrast creates beauty. Compared with the blank text, at least we have character creation, right? In terms of plot, Sunless Moon is more praiseworthy. Like Yala, the overall layout is very organized, and there are also many unexpected things, such as a certain god of the forest god system, the source of disaster. The quality of each copy is also good, especially the Brown Star one. Considering that the plot advancement of "Sunless Moon" mainly relies on the worldview, this is equivalent to saying that the worldview of "Sunless Moon" is solid and innovative. In addition, I think the most powerful thing about Prodigal Son's worldview structure is that other people's books often only have skeletons, but the author's books are really flesh and blood, especially Yalali's discovery-style descriptions of geography, ecology, and food. It is really impressive. In this regard, Sunless Moon does not feel as good as Yala, but it is not bad. The author seems to be more concerned about the lack of excitement in his book, so he deliberately added some pretentious plots in this book, which is effective. . . . It's hard to describe in one word orz In short, it's finished and I look forward to the author's next work!
In order to save the novel Sunless Moon, which has few fans, the prodigal son decided to stand up and become a cross-dressing boss 🙂
The plot of the whole book is great and often unexpected. The character creation is also very successful, with Shuuer, Xiaolu, Savo and Luna coming to life. The description of the world is also relatively rich. It's just that the background is too dark and a bit depressing, and there are too few dungeon worlds, which makes it feel a bit unfinished. The overall plot is full of gasps at the end, which may deceive the readers. In addition, it is too acquiescent. From the beginning, almost everything is under the control of the protagonist, and all the gods feel too friendly to the protagonist. Also, such a strange theory as the creation in a dream was tacitly accepted as the truth from the beginning, and no one or God questioned it. The ritual based on this has actually become the only designated operation for salvation, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I always buy the whole book directly after finishing it. I hope the author will not be discouraged because of the low subscription price before finishing the book. I hope the author of the new book will work hard 😊
What can I say? I was confused at the beginning of this book. It felt like I had missed hundreds of pictures earlier. We all know the main characters and supporting characters well, and they are close friends. I don't know anyone.
When I read this novel, I accidentally read it as Faceless Moon…
Observer possibility
1. It may be a god. The basis is that the protagonist dreams of becoming a god in the first level dream of a god. 2. Not gods, mortals 3. It is related to the protagonist's dream in the inn (the protagonist's guidance ceremony failed, and his friend betrayed the protagonist) 4. According to hypothesis 3, the observer is always beside the protagonist, and it is even the observer who implants the dream into the protagonist's mind. 5. According to assumptions 3 and 4, the observer knows the information about the last ceremony. At that time, only the two gods of knowledge and wisdom should have the idea of holding the ceremony. Observer inference 1. A violent woman with bloody glasses. Reason: The librarians of the Temple of Knowledge have the opportunity to contact the God of Knowledge and the protagonist. 2. The observer is not a specific person, but a higher consciousness, but the focus of observation is on the protagonist. The dream was given to the protagonist by the observer. The protagonist has never known it, but in fact the observer has been guiding the protagonist to pay attention to the information that the world is about to die. It guides or the protagonist's experience attracts it. The water world and the brown star make the protagonist the focus of the observer. It is also possible that the protagonist is the observer without knowing it, or that he is a lost observer. The dream is used by the observer to remind him that his duty is to save the world. After the world is destroyed, all the memories of the protagonist will be uploaded and recorded in files. It is also possible that there are no observers at all. The world of the Creator God may not be in crisis of world destruction, so observers may not exist, but dreams cannot be explained. It may be Najinsi's box. Each world is observing the lower world, and each world is praying for the lower world to find a solution. Finally, at the end of Bad Street, the observer is the reader, the protagonist is the protagonist, and the Creator God is the author. The swallowing of the void does not necessarily mean that the dream is unstable, but it can also be that the author likes to design a disaster-ridden world, or something similar. The entire world is a literary work used to entertain the upper world.
I saw a comment saying that the characters in the book Wu Guang spoke with different accents, and everyone spoke like they were acting. I thought about it and it made sense, but this is also the writing style of different authors. After all, the three books have been like this What I care about more It is the character image of the male protagonist. He has been a strategist in three consecutive books. After the death of Crow, Shuer has fully used this skill, and Wu Guang is coming to an end. So the question is, will the protagonist of the next book be more strategic and layout-oriented? If so, I feel that it is quite difficult to break through the current situation of Shuer. There is another question. Too much planning and control seems to conflict with the portrayal of the character? I thought about the character list in my mind. The most impressive ones for men are Shuer and Dak (I feel like I could have explored more when writing a character), and the dwarves and thieves in the team (these two are simply the most common and have a high appearance rate) For women, there are Lin Jinglu and her daughter, Wei, and the Ball Goddess. Oh, and the one who got kicked in the butt. The portrayal of the two lilies seemed to have been deliberately downplayed in the middle and later stages. The characters that were not completely controlled by Shuuer left a deep impression on me. Of course, this is just my personal perception The beginning of Wu Guang has a hint of a harem, but I didn't expect that it would be a harmonious wing pattern at the end. I really want to see some exciting Shura Field 🤫
I found that the author was greatly adjusting the rhythm. I think rhythm is a feeling. Sometimes, even if the characterization is not completely explained logically, it can still give people the impression that the characters are enigmatic and mysterious. And if you explain all the logic clearly, sometimes you will feel that the writing is dragging. I think the author is very detailed in describing some cultural aspects such as architecture, customs, food, and the logical analysis of the characters. It really enriches the world in the novel and tries his best to show a different but vivid world. Everyone and everything has a reason. The plot development of the characters is supported by internal logic, which makes people feel as real as the real world. But since it is a matter of rhythm, sometimes it is necessary to delete and omit. For example, if the reader wants to know the subsequent development of the plot, however, if a large number of irrelevant descriptions are added at this time, the reader will definitely be slacked off. (Another example is the out-of-context method???) Of course, the author himself also has his own rhythm, so he still has to do what he can. Every book and every author has his own style, so keep going.
Hmm, the dialogue is a bit childish, what, what, what, what, what, what, otaku fantasy plot
Inferences about the ending
First, if the Earth Mother knew that the protagonist had blown up the whole world (Shor's dream in the inn), why didn't it tell the protagonist that that method was not feasible? Why was it unprepared for the protagonist's behavior? Why was it so surprised? Second, if Shor really once blew up the world, it means that he was once the protagonist of the world. Why is he still the protagonist in this dream? If the God of Creation really once dreamed of Savatiga, why did it repeat the same dream so many times? Third, why would Mother Earth want to keep Savatika? If there is no purpose, whether the world is destroyed or not will not have any impact on it, it is just an observer. Fourth, if the dream was not the first time, why did Earth Mother keep guessing with Shor? Why not confess after Shur woke up from the dream? Why not let Shur try to scare Creation in his dream? Such guessing is ineffective. Doesn't it want to save the world? To sum up, Savardiga is very important. It is so important that the God of Creation must dream about this world again and again. Secondly, Shor is also very important. It is so important that the God of Creation must constantly use him as the protagonist of dreams. It is also important for the world of God of Creation to keep Savadiga alive. Or the Earth Mother is subject to some restrictions and cannot confess directly and choose a more effective solution. Based on this assumption, the Earth Mother is an NPC, and its so-called confession cannot be trusted.
