The Demon Apartment

As a reader of supernatural horror novels, a player of horror games, and a lover of horror literature, I would like to briefly share my thoughts on Blackfire and his books. I got into the pit when the Hell Apartment was updated more than half way. The opening three golden chapters are concise and to the point, which can be called a textbook-level opening chapter. Although it was born later than Infinite, it is not inferior to it, or even better. The setting of the apartment ten years ago was the ceiling of the entire online literary world. Compared to today, it has no shortcomings compared to the horror house and so on. It is a pity that the category is unpopular. If it is fantasy, it is definitely not worse than Douluo and others in that era. Of course, everyone knows the shortcomings of Black Fire's books. The god-level beginning and transition, the ghost-level ending, and the overall failure to grasp the pain points of readers. In recent years, the best way to grasp readers' pain points is probably Resurgence. Some people say that the setting of the book before Buddha is invincible. In fact, in my opinion, it is just an advanced version of the apartment setting. It can even be said to stand on the shoulders of the giant of the apartment setting. However, the dreamy start of Black Fire's divine costume is always lost in confusion. Halfway through, I was killed by an inexplicable passerby. I think this metaphor is the most appropriate. Black Fire has been tepid over the years, a long-distance runner, a fixed fan, and a slow earner. Maybe as it grows older, it has lost its obsession with innovation, or is unwilling to try new things. From the second half of the movie theater, to the test paper, to now Apartment 2, I can't read any passion or perseverance. What I can read is just a random patchwork of ideas and concepts. Besides, writing about midnight in an apartment is the most glorious plot setting in the apartment, and it is also the most rubbish setting. For the novel, it is both expected and unexpected. For the readers' feelings, it will definitely ruin their fandom. Just like The Last of Us 2, it's not that we can't accept the death of characters, it's just that we can't accept the ordinary, lonely and humble death of an emotionally rooted character. I hope Black Fire can give Midnight a good home in Apartment 2. Even if you are reincarnated, the regrets of the past will be forgotten, right? I am not qualified to evaluate the achievements and gains and losses of the author Black Fire, but as a reader and fan who grew up reading Black Fire's books, I still want to make my suggestions. Although Black Fire has persisted in the online marathon for more than ten years, I don't want Black Fire and his books to be wasted in mediocrity, repeating my few imaginations, and I don't want to see him become like the heirloom Douluo series reborn next door. I never agree with someone just because someone praises a great god in one book, or the so-called setting of invincible concepts. I have a deep love for this type of literary works, and I will use my own head to read. No matter how awesome you think Black Fire is, his book is a fair evaluation at the end of the second rate. It can be squeezed into the second rate purely because of two points, one is the setting, and the other is the old fans of the apartment. Read it as a new book, only the best among the third rate. I hope there will be new innovations and excellent plots in Blackfire. 😁

It would be great if the popular next book could follow the early setting of the movie theater. The setting of the movie theater is really suitable for serialization. Here are some of the advantages of cinema that I can see: First, avoid harmony. It does not integrate with reality, avoids various historical and political problems in real society, and does not need to consider law enforcement agencies, effectively avoiding harmony. Second, it is suitable for the public. Characters can have limited restrictions on weirdness, and have certain means of confrontation, so that the atmosphere is not too depressing, and the fault tolerance rate is higher. Many fatal plots can also be directed to the protagonist, and the story has more suspense, so that less hard-core readers can be attracted to stay. Third, the plot is reasonable. Since each copy is starring in a movie, any act of seeking death can be rationalized according to the requirements of the script, so that the behavior of the supporting characters will not appear to be very mentally retarded, and the plot development will be more reasonable, while increasing the drama. Fourth, growth is visible. The actor's rating itself is also written in an upgrade flow, which allows readers to clearly feel the progress of the protagonist. As the characters grow, the characters have more means to fight against the strange. Even if the theme is still survival, the old people will be stronger than the newcomers, have more trump cards and means, and can even suppress the newcomers, which more or less makes up for the shortcomings of horror novels that are not obvious in their coolness. Fifth, the script is flexible. The overhead copy makes the writing method more flexible. Each script can have a different setting, even involving magic, science fiction, fantasy, and the time can be ancient, modern or future. Any plot can be tried, and copies that are not popular can be stopped in time. Sixth, character confrontation. The confrontation between different theaters gives the novel more conflict points, not only people and weirdness, but also intrigues between people. Moreover, this kind of conflict is more natural, and there is no discomfort of betrayal of humanity or ingratitude. Seventh, the plot is pure. Another advantage of being divorced from reality is that there are almost no outside moves. There is no need to write about it before it starts to evolve into a real-world confrontation, and it becomes a plot like the City Soldier King that has nothing to do with the theme of horror. The confrontation between the characters is completely placed in the copy, which will not make people feel frustrated. Above. Personally, I feel that if the cinema had not been transformed midway, it would be more classic than the apartment by now. This writing method pioneered by Huo Da has so far no other person can write the charm of the first half of the cinema. I think many readers should feel the same way. In addition, I also have a small wish. I hope that the protagonist will never have a sister in the next book, and the heroine will try not to die halfway through. I wish Huo Dangneng to become a god soon.

I would like to ask if you are still willing to watch Scarlet without the protagonist? Hell Apartment has many classic characters without protagonists and countless classic supporting characters. I hope everyone can share their views.

I hope the author can see it. I have seen Strange Horror and Dead Curse Island in the cinema and finished them all. To be honest, for me, none of these novels made me feel like giving up the book. I felt so comfortable watching it that I couldn't stop. Today I accidentally visited the book review area and discovered the root cause of your style change problem, so I want to say a few words. First of all, what I want to say is that readers only have the right to make suggestions, but not the privilege of pointing fingers. Similarly, you are the author, you are the master of a work. You have no obligation or responsibility to follow the instructions of readers. They say they want pure supernatural beings, so you write pure supernatural beings? Are you the author or are they the author? To be honest, there is no doubt that you are a very capable and capable author. But do you know why you can't get up or down? You care too much about what your readers think. It's okay to listen to your readers' opinions appropriately, but that doesn't mean you have to adopt their opinions. Besides, are their opinions and suggestions correct? I believe you have already deeply understood that the pure supernatural drama that "popularity expects" has not performed as well as the movie theater that collapsed. What an irony. Please be yourself. You are the author, and you have the final say on the content of the novel. Others have no right to sway your will. You have the right to listen to advice, and you also have the right to turn a blind eye. I hope you become the second Xiaolong and Air Conditioner, or even surpass them - I don't know much about the works of these two people, but in my opinion, you deserve the title of Great God or even Platinum. Most readers like me who support you silently will not point fingers or say "it doesn't have the same taste as before". Most readers, including me, will not abandon the book as long as you don't write about the male protagonist getting raped. Finally. This apartment is better than hell, much better, and you are always improving. No matter what genre you write in the future, whether it is fantasy or fairy tale, as long as the male protagonist is not a slut, I will keep chasing it. It's enough to be yourself and don't always be disturbed by the outside world. Not worth it. Those who like to find faults will definitely not support you. I have been reading online articles for ten years, and I think I still have a certain appreciation for them. I say you write well, then you write well. Come on.

I still remember reading your Hell Apartment when I was in college. It was also the first book I got into. I was so shocked at the time. Then I read all your works, all of which were pirated copies. In order to make money, you forced the movie theater to turn into fantasy at the beginning of the masterpiece. Otherwise, you must be an anti-banner person with a supernatural starting point. I am sure that the results of House of Horrors are what you are now. You, who were supposed to be a god, took a detour and then disappeared... I think that Chinese people like to read traditional stories, and the same goes for people's names. It is best not to have too many Cthulhus. Even if there are, they should use Chinese names. It is difficult to remember foreign names, and many people abandon books because of this. The Devil's Examination Paper is a precedent. I am really moved by you. I think you are the author I regret the most. You should have been a platinum author in the supernatural category. I hope you can return to the top!

Black Tinder is the best. Thumbs up if you agree.

Embarrassing... I had already decided not to kill the heroine.

I don't think this subscription is good, not because of pure horror, but because of the first few copies. If it weren't for the fact that I am a fan of Hell Apartment and have always had confidence and expectations for Huoda, I would have been dissuaded from reading it after seeing the long private parts and the inexplicable emotional drama of the protagonist. After this book passed the early stage, it became more popular. The copy of the community even gave me a sense of novelty and surprise that I had not seen for a long time. The quality of the subsequent scripts was also online. It would have been better if there were no inexplicable internal fighting in the apartment. To be honest, the creation of the Big Three was a bit wasteful, and many characters did not stand up, but the overall shortcomings are not concealed. Let's talk about this book again. Huo Da feels that pure horror makes this book not very popular. On the contrary, I think Huo Da's biggest advantage is the creation of a horror atmosphere. It is precisely because of this that Hell Apartment can become a classic and create the bloody escape genre. What Huoda should pay attention to is to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. A certain supernatural work that is equally good next door is always criticized for writing super ghosts and super ghosts, and writing super ghosts... I think Huo Da also has this problem. Even your shortcomings and poisonous points in writing people are more obvious, but it is a pity that if you don't write many points, it will not affect the main line of your full text. I have to mention another book called Infinite Stream that has already reached 404, so I won't mention its name. In my opinion, the early version of Infinite Blood is a complete imitation of Hell Apartment, but this work has a very good reputation in this circle because the author has achieved a qualified horror creation with no poisonous characters and few inexplicable irrelevant plots. I disdain the author's stitching of classic works, but I have to admit that he is an excellent tailor. Compared to the orthodox sequel to Hell Apartment, Devil's Apartment, his work can benefit more people. In short, I hope Huo Da can write better and better, and sum up the lessons in the next book to avoid poisonous points. Recently, I feel that the Werewolf script is not pricking. I will definitely give it to you if you have a monthly pass.

I didn't expect to get your reply from Huoda. It's such an honor. Because I was afraid that you wouldn't see it, I put this paragraph in the book review instead of a chapter. Thank you for your appreciation. I dare to discuss it with you again: From the beginning of your "Alien Horror" to the perfection of "Hell Apartment", the "Blood Letter" style has deeply affected the entire Internet literary world. I have read many novels of the "Blood Letter" genre. Although many novels have their own merits, in general, in terms of the expression and exploration of "horror", it may be that I don't read many books, and I haven't seen any text that can reach your level yet. This is not only because you are the founder of this genre, but also because you can see real "malice" in your novels. There are many excellent novels in the Scarlet genre. Some of them have wonderful plots and writing styles, sincere and moving emotions, strong writing skills, vivid protagonists and supporting characters, and are comfortable to read. However, the chilling feeling in your novel is unique. I guess, taking "Hell Apartment" as an example, the focus of your writing was not to create characters from the beginning. The characters who appear in the book are considered supporting characters, but the real protagonist is hidden in the title of the entire book. The bright line is that a group of wise men and strong men lead the residents to survive in the world of blood. The dark line is that Hell Apartment comprehensively analyzes the residents' personalities and abilities, determines the participants, designs magnificent and bizarre tasks with blood, arranges the most suitable ghosts, determines the path of death, leaves a small way to survive, and then uses all the remaining energy to design traps and misdirections, striving to lure the residents into a false way of life, and hide the clues to the real way of life deepest. But these are completely hidden in the author's work. On the surface, we can only see the horrific experiences of the residents, like a mouse falling into a maze. It seems to be running around, but in fact everything is under the control of the apartment. Just a few words can give you a glimpse of the world, just like Red Mansion is very interesting and only one point can be written. In horror novels, only the ghosts in the Scarlet Mission are so aggrieved. Residents cannot take action unless the dead end is triggered; only one person can be killed by triggering the exit prompt, which is equivalent to telling the residents that all the clues to the escape route are given. After killing people, there is still a gap period for the residents to think of ways to solve the problem. During this period, they can watch the residents who are very close but unable to take action, or they are restricted in speed and watch the residents run away, their perception is restricted and they can only look around, and their consciousness is even restricted to accompany the residents in fear. During the bloody period, you have to find ways to mislead the residents, and even if you are not careful, you will be sealed or directly obliterated by various inexplicable means. Some people looked back at the truth after reading Scary Letters and found that the residents were actually well protected and it was very difficult to die. As long as they didn't trigger death by dying and were smarter and more alert, it didn't seem to be a big problem to find a way to survive. But it is under such harsh conditions that "malice" makes people even more chilling. If a road is full of traps and people carefully avoid them, it may be difficult or impossible to get out. This is not considered malicious. But the first hundred are all fake traps. When you are cautious at the beginning, then numb, then suspicious again, and finally completely relieved, you suddenly lose your footing and fall down not far from the exit. This is malicious intent. Only then did I realize that the hundred fake traps ahead, like the painted skin of a beautiful woman, were not meaningless, and then I understood the danger I was in. The apartment generously allows the residents to move around as they please, find loopholes at will, call in foreign aid at will, and sometimes even give in when they are about to die, deliberately increasing their survival time, all so that the moment the residents think they have found hope, they will be thrown back into the hell of despair. This kind of pure, unprovoked malice may be a bit anti-human, but it is also your unique style that I have sensed before. In many horror novels, the protagonists complete tasks such as playing dungeons, and the focus is entirely on the protagonist. The tasks and environment are used to set off the protagonist. But in your book, the characters are used to set off the mission in Scarlet. Just like in other people's novels, the more difficult the environment, the more it can set off the protagonist's wisdom and power. The more intelligent and courageous the characters in your novel are, the more dangerous and terrifying the mission in Scarlet can be. The author has always stood on the side of the real protagonist's apartment to screen the residents, rather than on the side of the residents. If the author acted as the residents, it would inevitably be a trap for the apartment, preventing the real charm of the character from being revealed. This is the reason why there are so many bloody words about group destruction in the later stages of "Hell Apartment" that people still enjoy watching it. For example, part of the reason why The Grudge is one of the top Japanese horror films is that it is completely on the side of ghosts. I feel like your novels are also based on human beings, which gives them that unspeakable sense of horror. However, under such conditions, a character who has the most precious humanity that even the apartment and you have to admit has been created, and a character who can't help but be moved by even a heart of stone. The darker the place, the brighter the glimmer of light will shine. Precisely because no one has a gold medal to avoid death, everyone is qualified to be righteous; precisely because good and evil people will die, death and death have different meanings. Just like the most malicious background, it reflects the strong bond of helping each other and sacrificing each other. Instead of deliberately shaping the characters, it creates characters that are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I talked a lot without realizing it, and it became verbose. I hope you can bring us more surprises and inject new breath into horror literature again. Dividing Line Hello, I am an old reader of yours. I started reading your works a long time ago. I really admire your writing style and ideas, and how seamlessly your settings, character descriptions and atmosphere are integrated. Now that I saw that you said in this chapter that the word "blood" on the train is not easy to write, I dare to discuss this point with you. The space on the train is too narrow, the structure is simple, there are few characters, and the protagonist cannot face danger directly. It is indeed difficult to start writing, but your novel can be fascinating in this monotonous environment. There are several elements on the train, one is the carriage number, one is the train ticket, and the other is the conductor and crew. The title of the chapter is "Forgetting", so why do ghosts want people to forget their victims? On the premise of being able to communicate with the residents in the apartment, this is completely meaningless. Also, is there some conspiracy in driving the residents to the rear compartment at the beginning of the story to keep them away from the front of the car? Since there is a reminder to stay away from a specific carriage in "Survival in Scarlet", can the carriage number be changed? Could it be that when you think you have found a safe carriage, you will suddenly see the carriage number fall down, revealing the death carriage number behind it? If the word "scary" is set up, there is actually a non-existent carriage on the train, which is constantly spliced ​​at the junction of the carriages. People who walk in without knowing it will evaporate out of thin air after a while (the key point for passengers to forget is the real carriage number, and at the same time, the ticket will be replaced, which is undetectable). Residents find that their tickets have been changed because of off-site assistance, but they cannot be sure whether the carriage they are in is safe. Later, the carriages changed faster and faster (this can be seen in the ticket changes). Only from the cab at the front of the train can the specific location of the extra carriage be seen. Only a passenger risking his life to go to the front of the train can find a safe carriage and avoid a dead end. In this way, there are no ghosts at all in the word "blood", but the more you explore, the easier it is to be killed, but the more afraid you are of being killed, the further away you are from survival. I feel that this is the temperament of the word "blood". In fact, from your mission of Scary Word, a Scary Word naturally has a path of life and death, but you cleverly set up a false life path and a false death path before, and even a dead end in a dead end, which is often placed together with the false life path. Everything has clues, but the path to false life and false death has more confusing clues, but the door to the real way to life can only be opened by overcoming the fear of false death. The characters in blood are designed upside down, and the readers can feel the weightlessness they feel when they suddenly face the cruel truth when they are rejoicing in their fake life. For example, in "Train in Blood", after it is determined that the way to survive is to stay in a specific carriage, you see another empty train traveling in the opposite direction outside the window, with only a ferocious ghost. The ghost pulls the passengers into the mirror of the opposite train and kills them, so the people disappear. This makes people suddenly realize and feel scared for a while. In fact, if you think about it the other way around, you might be able to come up with new ideas. For example, when traveling in blood, the road to survival cannot be red. Then the fake road to life can be set to have blood that can temporarily attract insect monsters. Residents who discover this must carry sharp knives with them. If they really cut themselves or attack others, they will be in danger of being exposed. The final death route (a red wound or a bloody knife) is given, and the fake death route can also be set up as clothes, that is, the insect monster lurks in the clothes of the deceased and is deliberately discovered by the residents. In this way, the residents will inevitably stay away from clothes and only wear the most intimate underwear. In this way, they will not be able to wrap themselves up in the end and can only wait for death to come. Of course, this is extremely difficult, but with the participation of so many wise men, the difficulty is reasonable. This is the kind of sigh I feel from your words, which makes people feel that the apartment is in a fair battle of wits and courage with the residents. The point is that the apartment is not a ruthless blood-letter publishing machine. It wants to win, but it is also willing to admit defeat. This is your style that I have experienced. Although it is just a reflection of your thoughts, this is what I want to tell you. I hope to see more exciting chapters from you.

Alas, after reading some, I can only say that this author deserves to be killed. . .
