Some Great Lovecraftian Novels
2022.11.14 This list will probably be archived soon. Lately, I hardly see any recommendations for Lovecraftian or Lovecraftian-style stories. I don't know if my reading tastes have changed or what. Instead, all kinds of supernatural horror stories keep popping up. I really can't get into those. By the end, everything is indescribable. All I can say is that this is a failed attempt to localize Lovecraftian fiction. What a shame. These are the more purely Lovecraftian novels I've dug out of my pe
Niche Classics
My heartfelt recommendations from the past 20 years. I don't read power fantasies, and I reject formulaic level-ups and simplistic newbie novels. I dislike overpowered protagonists and brainless stories most of all. Starting from Zero scarred me, along with Angel and the abandoned Absolute Game. Now I have no interest in online gaming novels! I drop a book without hesitation if the protagonist challenges someone three levels above them. Traps, suppression in special locations, and magic arrays a

Books I've Read and Am Still Reading
They’re web novels, so there’s no need to be overly fussy. But if the author is going to mix a pile of shit into your brain, isn’t that going a bit too far?
Adventures in a Fantasy World
A big collection of Western fantasy, cosmic horror, farming, and adventure novels. No unreasonable worldbuilding, please. If it's a Western fantasy setting, please give the characters foreign names. I can't stand a jumbled mix of East and West.

Let's talk about the advantages first. As a bookworm for more than ten years, it is difficult for me to find a book that is eye-catching. The worldview design of this book is quite amazing compared to the first two stories, but the plot lacks internal logic. Originally, the main line of the story could be that the protagonist gradually regains his strength to fight against various villains. In the end, the clueless plot leads to a real shocking conspiracy, and ends with a hearty battle. However, the actual written result is: 1. The protagonist quickly regains his strength and allows the protagonist to regain his strength. The text has become an invincible stream 2. Stickman and Tyr, two very interesting villains, were quickly consumed due to the invincible protagonist. In fact, more interesting stories could have been created with them 3. There is a lack of a real main line between the dungeons. This problem is very obvious in the underground kingdom dungeon. Hala was inexplicably involved in the underground kingdom. The whole story was cut off without affecting the main plot. Has Hala grown in the dungeon? Are characters related to the main plot introduced? Is it satisfying to be a princess in front of your classmates, protect them and slap them in the face? The answer is none. Isn't this just a side story inserted into the main story? 4. The characters in the dungeon are separated from each other and lack the motivation to promote each other. As a result, the story is more like a short story based on a shared world view. Characters and relationships should promote each other within a specific worldview, rather than being forcibly dominated by the author's will. The result of this push is either the growth of the core characters or the development of the main plot. In short, what makes the author worse than Squid is not the worldview or ideas, but the ability to string together ideas, and the ability to construct impressive characters throughout the novel. It is a luxury to create a popular character with more than 100,000 words and write it off as soon as the copy is used up. On the one hand, it requires time and effort to create new characters, and on the other hand, readers will feel disconnected. If you must introduce new characters, you can adopt the mode of introducing old characters and introducing new characters. This will make the readers feel more natural. Instead of forcibly throwing a man and a woman into a new environment every time to perform a story that has little to do with the context There are a lot of pretense and slap-in-the-face plots in the article, but the effect is not really satisfying. They say cool writing is brainless, but writing it well is really not easy. I haven't read much about Shuangwen, so I won't comment too much. Invincible flow is really difficult to write, because the story needs contradictions and conflicts to make the plot tense and arouse the readers' emotions. And the invincible protagonist makes it very difficult to construct conflicts. So the story had to become the short copy it is now. This problem also appears in Wudiliu's "Taoist Priests in Jin Yong's World". And [The Daily Life of the Immortal King] is one of the rare ones that is handled very well In addition to the world view, a good novel in my mind also needs vivid protagonists and supporting characters, a main line [or contradiction] that runs through the whole text, a powerful and full of personality villain, and takes care of the audience's emotions. With a reasonable rhythm of emotions, what should be presented to the audience in the end is a gripping adventure story in a self-consistent and real [world]. After reading it, there will be a few characters that make people smile, fear, move, or even make people suffer. So much so that it remains unforgettable for many years after reading it. Some of the content in the article is so interesting that breaking the circle has become a kind of meme [such as Amon's ptsd? What about curly-haired baboons? I typed so much on my mobile phone and didn't do any proofreading or revision, so that's it. Anyway, there are quite a lot of bugs in the novel 😁 The above is just my humble opinion. My cat typed it randomly on the keyboard. If you don't like it, don't criticize it.
Judging from the current novel environment, this book is first-rate in terms of setting the plot, and has the potential to become a god As far as Western fantasy is concerned, this book is extremely good, and it depicts Nordic mythology very well But the transition between the main line and the branch line is not handled very well, especially some branch lines have little connection with the main line and only exist as unit dramas. In addition, some 'villains' are treated too casually. Although the death of this villain can highlight the strength of the protagonist, it is not healthy enough for the overall development of the story. In summary The concept is first-rate The storyline is great Some stories are excellent as unit dramas The coherence of the novel needs to be strengthened to improve the internal connection between the storyline and the main background
At first, I probably just joined the bookshelf out of curiosity, and then lay in my "untested" group for a while I was short of books later and decided to open a new hole, so I opened this book To be honest, the first few dozen chapters may be because the world view and background were not revealed enough, but when more and more were revealed later, I have to say that I was amazed First of all, the writing, I always love craftsmanship It was the first time I saw the Nordic mythology written by Cthulhu! Especially the section about Odin's Eye is really amazing Then the world view is really huge. Personally, I feel that in addition to the ones mentioned by Jiajing book friends, there should be a little bit of King Xin In short, although it is not directly Cthulhu, it has the inner flavor of Cthulhu.
It's almost time to read the latest chapter. As a bookworm for ten years, I think the writing, rhythm, and characterization of this book are all very good, and there are basically no poisonous points. But the reason why it doesn't become popular is that there are not many cool points and the coolness is not high. There are often dozens or hundreds of chapters describing evil doing whatever they want and innocent people being harmed in various ways, but the protagonist's explosion and rescue in the end are too urgent, and it always ends in a few chapters, and it doesn't make people feel like they are vomiting out their depression. I don't mean to write something as cool as a cool article that "shocks the whole world", but this Cthulhu-style dark worldview makes readers feel too depressing, and the protagonist's character is relatively calm or even gloomy. Each story begins with a twist and then develops, with the victim always being plotted by evil. The readers are heartbroken, but they are unable to vent their anger at the end of the story. Instead, they get deeper and deeper, feeling dissatisfied with the chaotic world in the book and worried for the innocent people. Although this is a good performance by the author, it is easy for readers to hold their breath. After all, most people read books because they want to compensate for the unsatisfactory reality in the novel. However, when they see good people being wronged and plotted against, their mood becomes more and more depressed. The part of being depressed and then exalted is not particularly impressive and makes people feel depressed. For example, in the story of Stickman, the good guy was framed by various designs and harmed by evil, but the final ending was just the stickman saying "Oh, that's bad" and other ordinary words, and then being eaten by the protagonist. Although it is very consistent with his identity as an evil god who is evil for no reason and illogical evil, it makes me feel very unfair. The good guy suffered dozens or hundreds of chapters, and the evil guy is just like this, and is eliminated without even a trace of regret and fear. In general, this book is more realistic and cruel than reality, and it has no particularly exciting points. Naturally, there will be fewer and fewer readers if this continues. When I first read this chapter, I said there were quite a lot of people commenting on it, but by the last dozen or so chapters, there were fewer and fewer people commenting. I hope that if the author can read my comments, he can refer to my personal opinions. I also hope that my comments can help improve this book 😁 After all, it is a rare book for old bookworms.
Every time I see this kind of book title about retirement, farming, and relaxation, I know that there will definitely be constant conflicts and no time to spare 😃
Pure name building (most likely to be used)
A Western name is fine, it has a meaning and is easier to adopt.
Summary of a waste with nothing to do
Because it is a summary of a waste doing nothing, I just thought of where to start. First of all, the world view of this book is a suture monster (yes). What I, a waste, can see are: witcher (wizard) (so why is witcher translated as wizard), Norse mythology, and the legend of King Arthur (although King Arthur is still the background board). But Cthulhu didn't get much of it (Yun Duo'er is so disdainful). But sometimes the oppressive atmosphere that everyone misunderstood is in place (it is still contemptuous after all). And there is a lot of foreshadowing and foreshadowing hidden in every sentence in this book. Because there are too many, I will not give examples one by one. It is a good book worth reading word for word. The writing is very good, the plot is good, the villain has a brain (that's why it's not popular), and it's very beneficial. Jpg. P. S: Come and play in the group when you have time! The owner of the group is the author himself, who often dresses up as a woman and sends out benefits ()!
I understand everything 🤭
This book is relatively well written, and what attracts me is 1. The author has a clear direction in his writing, which shows that there is a main line in his heart. This is very important. Some people write well at first, but the more they write, the more uncomfortable they become. That is because they don't know what they want to write, and they don't know themselves. The direction of the story becomes more and more complex as I write it. 2. The rhythm is good, keeping it fresh and suspenseful at all times. This is also very important. Some authors know what they are going to write from the beginning, which is very boring. There are also foggy and foggy stories that are not interesting. The feeling of being far away is the best. A small suggestion from the author, some transitions need to be more detailed. Sometimes I don't know when there are transitions. We are here to have fun, and what we pursue is a sense of fun. We don't look too carefully. The author has to grasp the middle points.
I see it as the retirement life of an old pervert
