The Lingering Fire of the Long Night

You are a poor magician who lacks talent but works hard, and is good at baboon magic. You have come to the Horse Thief City where the 404th Holy Grail War was held. The rules of this game are 7 vs. 7. I don't know why, but all the heroic spirits summoned here are characters from Squid novels, and you summoned a fairy-like swordsman. Your Saber seems to be a man wearing ancient robes, and the weapon is actually a very un-Saber sword. He is cold but not cold, sane, and even willing to share his swordsmanship with you. It is said that he has achieved eternity and promises you that he will end this Holy Grail War in his own way. You can rest easy. All the allies are talented, and the heroic spirits summoned are all heavyweights. Archer does not carry a bow. He is a monk. He is very handsome and speaks well. You have a good conversation with him and become a close friend. You are full of confidence in the future. According to the monk, he has multiple career adaptations. This time he became an archer because he is good at using thunder and lightning long-range attacks. In this Holy Grail War, he does not want to meet an inhuman female spearman. You think he is a rare ally you can trust with your back. Rider is a tall and strong man, holding a giant ax and without any mount. You've been looking at it for a long time and still don't understand what the relationship between the ax and the rider is. He said that he was the king of a great country. He didn't say much, but he felt very trustworthy. Rider often touches his ax and says something like "Brother Axe, Brother Axe". You feel that this person is somewhat of a fetishist, but what does it matter? How can there be any normal person among the heroic spirits? Just be strong. Lancer is a handsome middle-aged guy with a mustache. As soon as he appeared in the world, he skillfully picked up the Master's children's mobile phone and ordered a cola fried chicken takeout. He leaned on the sofa and started eating. Faced with the little girl's Master's question "Why are you so skilled?", He said that he was the founding emperor of a great empire, had the most extraordinary power in the world, had endless knowledge in his mind, and even landed on the moon by himself, just ordering takeout. "What about your gun? Aren't you a gunman?" ... Lancer raised his eyes to look at you: "Don't ask this kind of question in front of children." You instinctively felt that this Lancer was a bit unreliable, but after he transformed your shabby apartment building into a super awesome steel city ship, you felt really good. You later privately exchanged some garbled words about the cat stepping on the keyboard, and you thought he was really a hero. Assassin is a handsome man dressed in noble clothes, with the spirit of an emperor, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He has a good temper and is willing to mingle with you. Soon you will go to the food stalls with him to brag about his skills. It's just that you vaguely feel that he is a bit reserved in what he says and does, and can't let go. When you asked him why he became an assassin, his face stiffened: "Maybe... It's because I have no sense of existence. The level of my aura shielding is so high that the author has forgotten about me." It's strange, how can such a good-tempered, skilled and good-looking person have no sense of existence? Berserker is... A naked man without pants. When you meet him and his master, the master is chasing him to put on his pants while waving a cross, and the scene is extremely chaotic. berserker could not speak, and was surrounded by terrifying roars and murmurs. Those who heard it clearly went crazy, and could not get close to him at all. According to the master, this is the ancient god king he summoned with the cross he bought at the street stall. You think this master is very imaginative and remind him not to answer calls from the Religious Administration. But berserker is really strong. According to the laws of the Holy Grail War, berserker gets stronger as he gets crazier. There should be no more crazy berserker than him. After some discussion, you decided to let Lancer stuff the berserker into the cannon of the city ship and fire it to the opposite position, making the best use of everything. Caster is a handsome middle-aged man who is well-dressed. ... You think this Holy Grail War is a bit ridiculously good-looking. He claims to be the royal mage of a powerful country. He is good at divination and infiltration. There is no intelligence that he cannot detect, and there is no enemy that he cannot win. The master has to be cautious all his life! He got excited while chatting with you about ritual magic. He performed a divination on the enemy camp. After the end, he laughed and said: "Their swordsman is just a lunatic who breaks down after his wife dies. He is not as strong as a sword. The archer is a Taoist priest who gave up using swords. He is not as handsome as me. The spearman He is an incompetent and furious loser who was deceived by a man. The magician is a weakling who sells his wife's things for money. The mad warrior is a Shaolin abandoned disciple who is afraid of his wife. He can be captured in one battle! "

I feel like this is a good book, and the author wrote it carefully, but the rhythm is not suitable for online writing. The results are indeed good, but many of them are because of the old fans brought by the previous book. The author himself has also discovered that there are fewer follow-up orders, mainly because his current method is too similar to writing physical novels, unlike the online novel type of Qidian. There is no saying that this is not good, it is just that the story has too little excitement in the early stage, and it only explodes at the end. If you are reading physical novels, it is absolutely no problem to read them all at once, but this is an online novel, and online articles are updated every day. Some people are always interested but never have much fun. Do you think people now have the patience to continue waiting. One last thing to add, this book is really well written. I really like Shang Jian's persistent character, but I hope it can be more exciting in each unit and the pace is a little faster.

It feels like Squid is trying new writing techniques. The large psychological descriptions of multiple characters in "Lord of Mysteries" have the effect of "Lord of Mysteries" on the one hand and enhance the reader's sense of satisfaction. On the other hand, they sometimes interrupt the rhythm of the story and seem a bit cumbersome. In fact, in the middle and later stages of "Lord of the Mysteries", Squid also began to consciously reduce the length of the psychological descriptions of the Tarot Club members in order to maintain the rhythm of the writing. When it comes to "The Remaining Fire of the Night", you can clearly see Squid's changes or new attempts in this regard. In the first four chapters that have been released, there is almost no direct psychological description of the characters, even for the male protagonist. You know, in Squid's first five works, the first five hundred words are about what the male protagonist "feels" and then he starts to write directly about the male protagonist's psychological activities. In "The Remaining Fire of the Night", what replaces the male protagonist's inner activities is a large number of micro-movements and micro-expressions. This is a bit like what Yu Hua said: "True psychological description actually means no psychology." Of course, this sentence does not mean that psychological description is unimportant, but it means that the psychological changes of the characters should be shown through sensory description and action description, in order to replace the direct description of the character's inner activities. However, as far as the four chapters are concerned so far, I think Squid's attempt is not very successful. On the one hand, since there is no strong conflict in the first few chapters, this indirect way of describing psychology is difficult to directly give effective information to readers; on the other hand, Squid's use of micro-expressions and micro-actions is currently relatively simple, basically "character + micro-expression/micro-action + saying/Tao", which will also affect the reader's perception. Therefore, some people in the book review area will say that the first few chapters are very average, not "three golden chapters", etc. I think it is normal, because there are always risks in trying, just like the emotional drama in Martial Arts Master... In addition, one of the core joys of online readers is the information gap between the readers and the characters in the book from God's perspective. The simplest and most time-honored type of information gap is to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, like the classic "Holy order? I'm not that anymore." To this day, the information gap is still the main point of enjoyment, such as the information gap of the Fool's true identity in "The Secret", the information gap of the protagonist's true strength in "Brother Steady", the information gap of the protagonist's true intentions in "Loss of Money", etc. In "The Remaining Fire of the Night", it seems the opposite is true. The readers cannot see the inner thoughts behind the male protagonist's actions. Therefore, the readers have an information gap compared to the male protagonist. How to handle this contrast is also a test for the squid. In short, four chapters later, we still don't know if Shang Jianyao is really crazy.

I don't know what's going on in the long night. Many people are saying that it's not good to read. I'm thinking that this book is pretty good. This book is definitely not a novice, so you may feel that some places are very bland when foreshadowing it. But this is indeed the case with online articles. The more delicate the foreshadowing in online articles, the more important it is. Maybe after reading a short paragraph, you will think, "Hey, this book is not good, it's like diarrhea." But reading a book is not about reading one or two small fragments, it is about reading a large paragraph. So the beginning of the event will be a bit dull, but this dullness is for better development later. If you want to keep watching the climax, there's nothing you can do about it. Squid's book is indeed like this. Don't be anxious when reading. Why do you suddenly become impatient when you were originally engaged in self-cultivation? !

As an immortal person, although he cannot eat the same things as ordinary people, immortal people also have great food, and that is engine oil. It is the holy meal of our immortal people. Different models taste quite delicious. 😍 First of all, the taste of No. 92 Gasoline is mediocre, and it can barely quench thirst. No. 95 Gasoline is very good. After drinking it, I hit people more powerfully and chanted sutras more powerfully. The best one is of course No. 99. After drinking it, it feels like drinking a big glass of Coke (What is Coke? 🤔).

On December 1, 1959 in the New Calendar (a period of time usually means the end), Singer stood on the square of an underground building, with congregants below. He spoke solemnly and solemnly: "The time has finally come for our "Liturgy of Life" cult to welcome the arrival of our Lord "St. Frank Lee". Our Lord is the most special one among the thirteen angels of Yuanbao. He is in charge of the hope that December symbolizes the end of the year and the new year at the same time. He is one and ten thousand, the beginning and the end; the terminator of the old world and the opener of the new world." The key point is [The Great King of Two-Five Mushrooms]. As soon as he finished speaking, Senger waved his sleeves, and a row of attendants carrying plates came next to him. [I saw that every plate was filled with fried fish of the same color. There were some thin red objects on the surface of the fried fish. After a closer look, it turned out that there were many 🍄🍄🍄 taking root and growing out of the fish's belly] Let us eat this [Commander's Holy Communion], and the glory of our Lord will come to our world. After speaking, Senger picked up one 🍄 and put it into his mouth and chewed it gently, and the milk-like juice escaped into his mouth... A few minutes later, Senger said: Let us sincerely pray for His coming. Closing their eyes, everyone stretched out their arms as if they were holding a baby, shaking them gently: "He will eventually return (die) to St. Frank Lee."... On the Future among the Five Seas, Frank Lee woke up from his deep sleep. He turned over and sat on the bed with his hands covering his ears, which lasted for more than ten seconds. At this time, there was a gray-white mist outside the window, which looked particularly deep. "What's wrong with me?" With this question, Frank fell asleep again...

，， But I also lamented the perfect handling of the lingering fire in the long night guiding readers' emotions. Squid has never tried to create an all-powerful protagonist. Even from the very beginning, he made it clear that the protagonist this time is destined to be incomplete: serious psychological problems, mental illness, and even completely abandoning psychological description. But Shang Jianyao is so complete: he has dreams, abilities, action, dares to question, dares to try, and has the belief to sacrifice for his ideals. This intertwining of incompleteness and completeness may have doomed his end. Just like Shang Jianyao has been trying hard to find his father, and has calmly and without illusions knowing that his father's hope of survival is slim. I don't know which chapter begins. Maybe the Salvation Army began to realize that the end of an idealist in the post-apocalyptic world Lu: Noble sacrifice, or being 'brain-controlled' like those 'brain-controlled ones' in the Salvation Army - that is, being corrupted. There is also the most tragic ending: struggling all your life, and being betrayed by your former comrades - just like the old people in the Salvation Army who clamor for the existence of brain control. Cuttlefish strictly controls the upper limit of the overall capabilities of the Long Night World, and puts top players like Zhi Sui in a cage. This also determines Shang Jianyao's end, the story of Long Aotian who is a man who changes the world? My ability is limited, so I can't follow my orders. Farming and pioneering, people's war? There are many bastards in Chi Qian, and there are big brothers everywhere. Then, it's time. Time does not lie with the protagonist group. There are a full 12 Zhi Sui, plus a half-step Zhi Sui. How many of them share the same ideals and routes as the protagonist group? They want to fight among themselves and cause trouble, and the protagonist group can only passively accept it, and then use all their strength to deal with it. Zhi Sui is a time bomb, a time bomb that can blow up the whole world again at any time. For the sake of all mankind and those who come after us. These two sentences, compared to doing it for all mankind, I actually prefer those who come after them. The first sentence is ideal, and the second sentence is road and future. Nothing can be accomplished in one generation. It is always easy to smash an old house in one go, but can a new house be built in one go? Impossible. Human life is limited, and hundreds of years in this world are just like a dream. Everyone has the dream of becoming the protagonist of Long Aotian, but unfortunately, the world is not a stage that belongs to only one person. But at the same time, the world is made up of everyone. Heroes can only briefly influence the course of a historical event, but it is up to others to truly continue writing the future. We say that human beings are in a spiral, not achieved overnight. In the fictional stage of the Long Night World, we can naturally expect Shang Jianyao to become the protagonist of Long Aotian, fight monsters, upgrade and beat up Zhi Sui, and finally get the sun and the moon in exchange for a new sky. This is a standard beautiful fairy tale. We like this kind of fairy tale, there is absolutely no problem and we should like it, but sacrifice is more real and practical. I'm not saying that by reading online articles, you need to learn certain knowledge and have certain consciousness. That's unrealistic. Wouldn't it become mainstream cross talk? We love online articles because online articles can bring us emotional resonance. Whether it is happy, nonsensical, sad, heroic, or silent. If you read too much, it will be fun. Some people will try to experience sadness and abuse, and naturally there will be people who like heroism. For the sake of all mankind, it is never an empty talk, and it should not be an empty talk. We are always on the road, facing complex realities while harboring shaky ideals. There are latecomers. This does not mean that we will die, nor does it mean that there is an empty future. It means that we believe in the infinite possibilities of human beings. Latecomers, they were also latecomers, we are also latecomers, and after us, there will be latecomers. Countless latecomers have refilled the era. Everyone has beasts in their hearts, as well as stars and flowers.         ，         ，

"Hey..." The girl's black cloth shoes ran over the mottled bricks. She used her cold and purple hands to rummage through the ruins bit by bit for things that could still be used. She folded her coat from time to time, as if this could keep her warm. It's dangerous outside, don't go out... Grandpa held her hand and said forcefully. It's like burned out firewood... She thought so. It's not very cold, but it's not as hot as before. There is no food and not enough clothes. Although there are beasts and black shadows outside, it's scary. The temperature dropped sharply, and the family did not have thick clothes to cope with the unprecedented cold winter. Although firewood was not a problem, my grandfather, who collapsed after the autumn harvest, could not save much food. The money was all turned into waste paper. Where could he buy food from? The adults in the village have all run away, and many houses have collapsed, but there may still be food to eat. The dusty little girl sneaked out while her grandfather was sleeping and searched among the ruins of the village. "Ah." The girl patted the dust on the thing she turned out. It was a book. On the blurry cover, two words - "Lord" - could barely be seen clearly. She flipped through it, and the little girl, who still couldn't recognize many words, was dazzled. There was a book next to it, very new and clean, with an emerald green cover. She read out these words softly: "Life, life, sacrifice, ceremony." Books are good things, the girl understood, and she put the book under her arm. It was already very late, but the top of my head was still bright red. The little girl rummaged faster. Fortunately, she found a bag of milky white powder, which she should be able to eat after sniffing it gently. After finding something to eat, the girl did not dare to stay longer and hurried back to the small tile-roofed house. It seems to be milk powder, the girl thought. She has never drunk this expensive thing since she was a child. Grandpa hasn't woken up yet, maybe he's fallen asleep. The girl quickly heated up the hot water, tore open the packaging bag almost religiously, and brewed the milky white powder. Because she was too hasty and too fast, a few bubbles appeared in the bowl of fragrant liquid. Is such a day good or bad? She shook her head, picked up the "milk" and put it down next to her grandpa. The girl picked up the emerald green book, opened a page, sat down against the bamboo bed, and smelled the sweet fragrance in the room. She followed the example of the children in school and softly read the words in the book: "The commander in charge of December, he symbolizes the new year." The coming of a year is the end of the old world and the beginning of the new world. " The sky is getting darker, and something is slowly getting colder with this sweet "milk"... (Sorry for the poor writing style. Please give me a thumbs up here. It would be best if you could give me a thumbs up! The eight-pawed paw is so tempting. Woohoo)

"Human beings did not climb to the top of the food chain to be vegetarian." "When there is enough meat, I have the confidence and freedom not to eat meat. Being vegetarian is not to care for animals, but for the better survival of human beings." ——Wozki Shuode —————————————————————————————————— On March 19 of the new calendar, Long Yuehong discovered a festival that once existed in the old world, the "Meatless Day" while exploring the ruins. People will promote vegetarianism on that day and experience a day without eating meat. Back at the camp, he told Shang Jianyao the information and wiped the corners of his mouth again. "People in the old world are so strange. They actually choose a day not to eat meat." "Tomorrow, let's hold a meat-free day too!" Shang Jianyao clapped loudly. "... I've experienced this for many years, it's not necessary☹️" "It's different, this is... A meatless day 🙂" On the second day, Long Yuehong looked at the only energy bars and compressed biscuits left on her body with grievance, hoping that the day would go by faster. During dinner, Shang Jianyao took out a few pictures and placed them in front of Long Yuehong. Take out two more pictures and put them in front of him, "Come on! On a meatless day, experience the feeling of seeing but not eating." Long Yuehong is going crazy, "Forget it if you don't eat meat, why show it to me!" "To save all mankind."🙂 "What kind of saving mankind is this!" "If You can eat these every day, do you still have such a big reaction?" "... Probably not" "Many people in the company can only eat one meal a week, and the situation is even worse." Shang Jianyao stared at the picture. "The desire for meat reminds me that humans should have a better life. Looking at the picture makes us want to work harder, and this is to save all mankind." Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, and it seemed to make sense. 🤔️ So the two of them chewed biscuits and energy bars ferociously with the help of saliva, and chanted "... Meat... More... Meat..." This is the origin of Meatless Day. ――――――――――――――――――――― I hope mankind can put an end to the trouble of hunger, and that everyone has the confidence and freedom not to eat meat! 👏️👏️👏️

I have read a lot of novels in which the protagonist is mentally ill, or is mentally more or less different from ordinary people. You Wu Ji Zhengdao's "After a Deep Sleep" does things that make no sense, makes people confused about the purpose, and often goes crazy. The protagonists of Buqi Shixian are more or less mentally abnormal. There is "Mercury Blood", which loves women's clothing and has no concept of good and evil, "To Four Thousand Years Later", which considers itself thirty-two times greater, and "Player Super Justice", which is somewhat sick. Andlao is just a "newbie" who has written two books, and the protagonist of the completed novel "Ember Guns" is not a normal person either. I have read many novels where the protagonist has a great dream. If nothing else, the protagonists named above are all people with great dreams. But the impression of "The Last Fire" made me unbelievable. I couldn't even believe that it was a novel written by Squid. With the squid, I persisted until the beginning of the third part. Of the parts I watched, I couldn't find any that interested me. Mental protagonists do not mean that they do not have their own personality charm. Musu's crazy appearance actually has a rational heart; Roland is free to testify about good and evil, but deep down he loves his sister; Solomon is so crazy that he is willing to sacrifice everything, but it is for the continuation of civilization; nothing can stop Annan from moving forward, and his persistence is his charm; Lorenzo becomes crazy when he encounters monsters, and his madness is the external manifestation of protecting ordinary people. In "The Remaining Fire of the Night", I did not see the personality charm of the protagonist. From the parts I watched, I only saw that he was a curious, somewhat reckless, and not very polite--a psychopath. I also didn't see the charisma of the supporting characters. The captain who is meticulous and reliable in his work, the female team members who are a bit autistic and don't trust people, the male team members who are timid and have low self-esteem - I didn't look at the supporting cast list for this paragraph, I just spoke it based on my impressions. I couldn't even remember their names and characteristics... The plot is lackluster. Although there are climaxes and tears, due to the lack of seriousness, I feel like... Is this supporting character dead? Oh, just die. The "absurdity" that the squid wants to express, my taste is low and I cannot see it. Due to the neurotic nature of the protagonist, the strange interactions between him and his teammates, and the collision with the solemn desolation of the wasteland style itself, I felt more "annoyed" and "incomprehensible". In my understanding, "absurdity" is generally accompanied by some "black humor", such as works such as "Good Days" and "Black Man". In the absurd background, there are painful souls and struggling hearts, which exactly require more delicate psychological description. But "The Last Fire" abandons psychological description and adopts a new form of expression. Maybe the squid has extra ideas. The above is my personal opinion. I will probably read "The Remaining Fire" intermittently. I am looking forward to the author's next new book...

Squid's book may not be amazing at the beginning, but the more you read, the more you fall in love with it, and the sense of immersion is very strong Maybe it's because the characters of the characters in the story are not spoken by Squid himself and forced into the readers' minds but through the storyline, the readers can slowly experience it, just like they slowly get to know each other in reality. The feeling of a friend As the story line develops later, the feeling when reading is "My friend's personality is like this, it's not surprising at all if he/she says and does this" In many works, it is often indispensable that the author first characterizes the character and tells everyone ""This person's personality is XXXX" , so when something happens, he will do XXXX" The sense of substitution is a bit poor If I want to make an analogy, it is a blind date and making love I read other novels, and I was on a blind date with the protagonist (the granddaughter of my uncle's aunt, with a good temper, high education, and a rich family), and the introducer picked him up at the beginning It's easy to be a dog licker when you first start by exaggerating your advantages. However, as time goes by, you may find more and more problems, and finally have no choice but to break up Reading Squid's novels means making friends, never knowing each other, having no feelings, and even fighting. In the end, you have feelings, stick your butt out and know what to poop, and finally become a hair boy.

A member of the old investigation team noted: "We discovered a huge old human warehouse today on a collapsed ruins! There were hundreds of intact cans of braised pork in it! Wait, my God, we are so lucky. In addition to the canned braised pork, we also found hundreds of unopened bags of unknown food. The appearance seems to be solidified grease, with many long red plants and small granular black seasonings mixed in. Can you believe the scene you see in front of you? It is so luxurious. This large piece in front of you is actually condensed from precious grease. How much contribution does it take to make just one piece like this? A small piece of meat oil can be mixed with a big bowl of sweet potato rice! Hey, the package seems to have the words "hot pot base". Maybe this is the name of these foods? Oh, I don't know how people consumed these precious oils. Maybe they were so luxurious that they used pure oil to cook meat and drink it hot? At that time, humans used this to make water for drinking? " Record of a communion ceremony: "We should let the baby sleep on his back" ………………………… At the end of another sermon, everyone put their arms together, bent their elbows, and said, "Praise for your tolerance." Next, comes the Holy Communion. The officiant took out a hexagonal cauldron and a large package of unknown food that looked like it had been taken out of ancient ruins. He then carefully unpacked the food and put a large piece of complete, greasy food into the cauldron. The surrounding believers couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They rarely get to enjoy the precious food ration of pure fat once, let alone such a large portion. Potatoes and cabbage are the main theme of their daily diet. Without saying a word, the officiant filled the cauldron with boiling hot water. The hot water was instantly dyed with an unknown but terrifying red color. The viscous liquid bubbled and bubbled, and the pungent smell swept through the whole room. Many things that looked like red plant remains were rolling, plus black particles, as if the ancient gods were whispering, almost making people lose their minds. The smell from the depths of the soul's memory made believers close their eyes and feel the gift given to mortals. When the scorching heat gradually subsided and the bright red blood stopped boiling, the officiant began to distribute the hard-won food. When a believer trembled and drank the first sip of liquid, he seemed to feel the gift of God personally. The rich smell of oil instantly filled his mouth. Although it was hot and irritating, it was spicy and warm, and his tongue kept feeling numb and itchy. The believers have never tried food with such abundant calories and explosive taste. They just feel that their whole bodies are heating up. The energy given by this small bowl of hot soup is more than the normal food they usually eat for several times. Maybe... This is the delicacy that only the power of Siming God can allow believers to enjoy. Everything will eventually return to Si Ming, praise the gods!

I have finished reading the whole book, and there are a few sentences that I can't help but feel unhappy about. First of all, it goes without saying that Cuttlefish's book is definitely a masterpiece. I basically read this book in one sitting. But after reading this book, my feeling is that it is "still unfinished". At first, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. Until I saw a comment from a book friend: "I saw the protagonist group getting closer to the truth little by little, but I didn't expect that the final truth was dictated by Du Heng." How can the dictated truth be proven to be true? In addition, I think that according to the theme of this novel, the end of the novel should be based on the protagonist group revealing the truth, and mobilizing all mankind to resist Zhi Sui. In other words, the final battle should be a people's war, with not only large-scale conflicts between awakened people, but also scenes of missiles and artillery firing and people of all ethnic groups charging. However, the ending of this article is only a small-scale conflict between the protagonist Tuan and Zhi Sui. Squid must have also watched "Age of Awakening", just as the progress of Chinese society requires leading the people to transform the entire society rather than simply overthrowing a certain emperor. The same should be true for the victory of Huitu. She should be the whole human being united to take a bath in fire in the struggle against Zhi Sui, and only then can we say that there are lingering fires in the long night and free people... My personal opinion, for reference only. Thank you again Squid for bringing us such a good work, and look forward to the return of The Fool...

This article is not a review of a certain chapter, and I will not post the comments in the book review area, the translation team's popular science background settings, and the like. I have selected some interesting comments for everyone's entertainment. 1. Cuttlefish is a great writer. He wrote Lord of Mysteries and The Arcane Throne, both of which are my favorite novels. Everything he writes is great, and I have no doubt that this book will be too. 2. I don't even need to read the first 60 chapters to rate this book, I can guarantee it will be a great book because I trust this author, his last book was called Lord of Mysteries. 3. The author of this book is the author of Lord of Mysteries, so it is automatically praised with five stars. If you haven't read Lord of Mysteries, you're missing out on a great book. 4. While waiting for Mr. Fool, we are waiting for another work of Squid. Thank you for finally releasing your new book! I'll come back and revise this review after I've read a few chapters~ 5. I want this book to be Englishized, now. In fact, I want a physical copy of this novel to be in my hands right now, that would be great. This author has always been captivating with his unique style, and now with an eccentric protagonist, what more could you ask for? 6. Just the fact that this is "his" latest book is enough for me to support this book. Please, please let this book be chosen! I really need some quality fiction, now! 7. Why is this world so cruel? This book has only 40 chapters translated so far. Why why why why why why why... A reply: Maybe it's because the original Chinese version only has 72 chapters? 8. Let's tell the truth. This book is the only good novel among the recent trial novels. The others are all very bad and even ZG readers themselves are unwilling to read it. I highly recommend this book. Xiao Hei: There are a lot of book reviews, more than 70 in total. So far, all of them are five-star reviews and there are no negative reviews. If you book friends find it interesting, please leave a message and let me know. I will take the time to update it slowly (mainly because there are too few comments on the text at present...

Personally, I think The Long Night is indeed far inferior to Mysterious in terms of commercial value, but The Long Night represents a small step for an online writer to move from fast food to serious literature. It also represents that online literary creation in a pan-entertainment context can still move in a far-reaching and restrained direction. It may not bring long-term economic benefits, but it can become a truly worthy of flaunting work written by a writer.

First of all, I guess many people don't know the concept of the three major ascensions. Let me explain. The three major ascensions are concepts from a game. Ascension actually does not mean Taoist ascension, but eternal life. The three major ascensions refer to three directions: mechanical ascension, genetic ascension, and spiritual ascension. Mechanical ascension refers to the immortal person of the mechanical monk Cyber ​​Monk, who uploads his consciousness and transforms his body into a machine that is easier to replace. Gene ascension is the genetic modification that Pangu has been doing, constantly improving the body through life science and technology. Compared with the previous two, spiritual ascension focuses on idealism, pursuing eternal consciousness, and uses energy similar to the aura in cultivation novels. I would like to make a statement here. I have only been chasing updates until I cleared the Wild Grass City dungeon. I haven't read the latest dungeon yet. All the analysis is based on reaching the Wild Grass City dungeon. In fact, among the three major ascensions, mechanical ascension and genetic ascension are mutually exclusive. After all, normally a person cannot have two bodies. But spiritual ascension is actually possible to be compatible with these two ascensions, one is consciousness and the other is body, and based on what I read, the price of all awakened people currently appearing is the price of the spiritual world. (The price paid by the awakened person who suffered cardiac arrest was vision, but in fact, it is possible that the price is subjective vision, rather than the loss of function of the eyes) The current old world, including the world in the wasteland, is like this. Mechanical ascension has been achieved, but it is far from complete. There are not many people who can mechanically ascend, and currently people can only live through philosophy. In fact, it is a very rudimentary ascension The genetic ascension of Pangu organisms is not as advanced as mechanical ascension. At least it has not been shown who has what disease. Directly decapitate the body and replace it with a body. Instead, the Pangu creature wants to combine the body with machinery, and wants people to become superpowers. I would like to make a bold guess. Is it possible that the thirteen-year-old is actually just a senior in the old world who has embarked on spiritual ascension? At present, the abilities and costs displayed by awakened people are basically in the spiritual field, and all religious groups are pursuing missionary work. They may be studying the will of all living beings through missionary work to push themselves further towards spiritual ascension. Perhaps the destruction of the old world was caused by the war caused by the different paths of the three major ascensions? The unintentional ones are the sequelae caused by the power of the psychic ascension, and the subhumans are the genetic mutations caused by the weapons of genetic ascension. Because of its own problems, Mechanical Ascension was the loser in the battle to destroy the old world. It even lost the method of creating immortal people. In addition, it is assumed that there are no two or five people in the four-person group. So the reason why the Holy Master knows about Brother 💊's awakening ability is that the company has actually been studying its opponent, Zhi Sui, who has spiritual ascension. That experiment was the company's own experiment that created awakened people in batches. However, the company is hostile to Zhi Sui, so the company is currently working hard to crack down on shoe cults.

This book is a very novel wasteland novel. The setting of Thirteen Years Old and its related realm system is very sci-fi and interesting. The various customs and cultures in the wasteland are also very immersive. Of course, the reality of human beings' difficult survival in the wasteland is also sad. The tone at the beginning of this novel is light and bright. The protagonist group starts from the company and forms the old tune group. The protagonist group continues to grow and mature while completing tasks one after another, laughing and scolding all the way to advance the main line of exploration of the reasons for the destruction of the world, making all kinds of new friends unexpectedly, deepening their understanding of each other in the process of living and dying together, and even getting married... Plot Although there were many hardships and experiences along the way, it was warm and comfortable. The protagonist team faced crises time and time again but successfully resolved them. The teammates returned home neatly... Watch them gradually discover the truth about the new world of Ash Earth, find their missing family members, and gradually enhance their strength. My strength and emotional lines are constantly deepening, and I am also very happy... Unfortunately, such beautiful and peaceful days are not forever after all, and the protagonist group will inevitably reach the end of the road... When all the fog dissipates, those stubborn people who sit on the throne of the new world will The old people are just ordinary people who met by chance, but most of them no longer have the empathy of humans. The fact that human beings are kept in captivity is obvious... I watched him build tall buildings, I watched him entertain guests, I watched his buildings collapse... The truth is fatal. Executives with different ideas began the final battle. Most of the people who made the company their home ended up innocently becoming the fuel in the battle between their big bosses. Seeing that the protagonist successfully aspired to the throne and led the protagonist group to complete the mission of causing the destruction of the old world, but in the earth-shattering explosion that blasted towards the door of the new world, he heroically sacrificed himself in the darkest moment before dawn... and survived. People continue to move forward on this land for the sake of all mankind. Even the memories and remembrances of the protagonists of the forerunners may disappear with the wind... Whether it is Brother Yao who is energetic but has a happy mind, black-hearted and caring Da Bai Mian, or Xiao Hong, who is unlucky but ordinary but has to be protected forever, Xiao Bai, who is ill-fated but strong and kind, although I can't see their warm interaction again, I only hope that they can live forever in the spiritual world... The ending of the book, in which the protagonist group sacrifices all the members to destroy the group or seal the coffin, is really unbearable and uncomfortable. The ending chapter is also a bit short, and the emotional sublimation is still a bit short, but compared to Cuizu's previous books, this book has a more heavy feeling. From the perfect ending of Taoist Master Shi in "The Illustrated Book of Destruction", Lucien successfully reaches the top and has a happy family in "Arcane Throne", the dog food master Lou Cheng lets everyone eat dog food in "Martial Arts Master", Meng Qi finally becomes the strongest on the other side in "The Lord of the World", Gu Xiaosang came back from the dead, and then in "Lord of Mysteries", Klein walked alone and became the Lord of Mysteries but was still sleeping at the end. The protagonist in Squid's novel gradually changed from a joyful ending with a happy summit and a happy ending for the whole family to an ending with a heavy burden and aspiration for the top spot but alone. This time, it's even worse. Squid directly killed all four members of the protagonist's old tune group. Although they were heroes of the wasteland humans, they fulfilled their original intentions and missions all the way, and finally burned themselves for the sake of all mankind, sacrificed resolutely, and lit up the remaining fire of the long night... But as a reader, it is really hard to take a long breath to cover up the tears... Of course, this also shows to some extent that Squid His thoughts and writing style are becoming more and more profound. The novel has both literary, artistic and fantasy thinking. A novel writes the feeling of a heroic epic, courage and hope, the struggle of fate, a great tragedy, and a new world. After crossing the darkest moment before dawn, it is finally dawn, the long night is over, the remaining fire remains, and human civilization will last forever!

This is a book that was sacrificed to heaven by a squid. Squid is an author who breaks through himself and tries new writing methods in every book. His books include masterpieces and sacrifices in the process of breakthrough. Martial arts was the last sacrifice, and this book is also a sacrifice. However, the sacrifice does not mean that you are not careful. On the contrary, Squid is very careful about this book. This book has the most advanced world view setting from the starting point. The author's preparatory work can be felt from every chapter, ranging from the world view, maps, history, folk customs, politics, to the small characters, items and skills, all have detailed settings. This book has the most top-notch unit drama from the starting point. Regardless of the main plot, the protagonist group has a wonderful unit plot every time they download a dungeon. But this book has tried too many new writing methods, and I feel like Squid is very tired of writing now. First of all, the main line is not clear. Squid uses the grafting power of The Fool to graft the main line of the protagonist group to the exploration of the world through the "old tune mission". However, such a main line is not full and lacks endogenous motivation. When reading, it feels very strong to follow the trend. Yao Ge still wants to save the world, Dabai is a little bit curious, and the other two are purely doing tasks. Now the big rhythm that supports the whole book is the exploration of the world. Secondly, the writing method of protagonist group + road movie is difficult, too difficult, and the characters are difficult to create. What kind of characters are easy to create in online articles? The text is precise but not extensive, plus one or two famous scenes. The clear examples are characters like Li Chungang, Santa Ynez, and Frank. The more words there are, the more fragmented the main line will be, making it harder for the characters to stand up. Not to mention! The reason that most directly makes me think this book is a sacrifice is that Squid tried to write an intra-group romance within the protagonist group. I don't object to the love story of the protagonist group, but it's too difficult to write a love story within the group. People outside the group can build a full-fledged character in a few chapters, but Xiaobai and Xiaohong can't. Their love is reasonable, but only reasonable. Brother Yao is set to have a split personality, but each of his personalities does not have a full image like Gehrman, Sherlock, and Merlin. They also lack unity in the division, and Brother Yao's image has not been established. In short, what supports me in reading this book now is to watch Squid explain his exquisite world view, and then look forward to the next book that will be a complete collection.

It's been a long time since there has been such a great work in domestic apocalyptic literature. Halfway through reading, when the world view begins to unfold, a strong flavor of the "Fallout" series of games emerges. Don't miss it if you like post-apocalyptic wasteland novels In terms of plot, both the good and the bad guys have online IQs, and the combat description is slightly delayed but the flaws are not hidden. The various suspense and foreshadowings are amazing, and I am very immersed in it every time I watch it. Thanks to Squid, the writing is getting more and more sophisticated. The supporting characters are also flesh and blood. But I really hate Long Yuehong, he is imbecile and brings down the strength of the protagonist group.

I have not read The Master of Dog Food and The World of Destruction. I have read all the other works. My opinion is that this book is the worst among all the works. He magnified the author's writing shortcomings in this book. I hope this book can play a role in practicing writing. After all, Best Friends 2 is coming out.

I have finished reading another book, From Mystery to One Life, and then to The Long Night. Every time I read it after finishing the book, I have to say that it is really satisfying to read it in one sitting. The Long Night has been on my bookshelf on November 21, 2020, but I may not be used to reading wasteland novels, and I have been stuck in the first few chapters. Just like the original Mystery and I, when I picked up this book again, it was more than a year later. From the initial dryness to the gradual improvement, The main plot in the early stage is actually quite vague, and it's relatively scattered. It's like a travelogue, I ran here and there, but I actually quite like it. The teachings of different churches in each place, and the Holy Communion are all kinds of strange things. 💊My brother is also a mental patient and has a lot of joy. He brought me a lot of joy. I often laughed secretly after chasing him until midnight. But the experience of the old team was too deliberately arranged. They encountered a large dungeon on the first mission, and every subsequent mission was aimless (it feels like the new team should have a period of adaptation and maturity). And the part with Qiao Chu at the beginning was really a bit tiring to watch (ps, isn't it really reasonable to make the early BOSS like Qiao Chu so easy? I was dumbfounded). Towards the end, the main line becomes more and more clear, and "to save all mankind" becomes more and more eye-catching. In the end, 💊Brother and Dabai sacrificed their lives for their ideals, Xiaohong and Xiaobai were together forever, and Hou Yi's last broadcast. Really unforgettable. Tears welled up in my eyes, I felt like this ending. Really good. Very good. For all mankind. Free latecomers. The only fly in the ointment is that the pace of the later period is too fast. From the moment 💊enters the new world, all the secrets are spit out from Du Heng's mouth. There is no reversal, yes, there is no turning point. In fact, I am very surprised. Really, the last few chapters of I have been guarded against spoilers. The mysterious Amon rushed into Origin Castle. I thought Si Ming and You Gu would be good people and cleared their names at the end, or there was a last resort. But Si Ming really made me vomit in the end, overturning all my good impressions of her. She prefers to let others People call her the big boss, ah, drown her with spit. Her divinity has long concealed her humanity. She only has selfish desires, and she is still a false god. It is extremely ridiculous. There is also Yougu, who plays soy sauce in the whole process. In the early stage, she is Zhi Sui who has the strongest sense of existence. She has nothing and is nothing. There are many, many more, such as Wu Meng. I thought he was a big shot like Amon, with explosive combat power, but he turned out to be just a 250-year-old who knew what he was doing and didn't know why. Yuan Nao, I thought that the maid robot was going to do something, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with her, and the entire mechanical heaven was also a mess. Many forces feel very vague, even if I have been there, such as the White Knights and the Salvation Army, many of them are only briefly described. In fact, I think more can be explored. The whole book seems to be a walk around the five holy places of Buddhism and a trip to the First City. . . Going back to Zhi Sui, they are just a group of lunatics. How can I describe it? Absurd, yes, it is absurd. It is extremely ridiculous. A group of hysterical people, a group of people with only consciousness actually control the entire dust. It is really funny. Moreover, among the three Cuiyu books I have read, powerful forces are behind everything, and there are too many traces of arrangements. . . I even wonder if Brother 💊 has been guided by Du Heng since he was a child. Every chance meeting is to strengthen his determination to the ideal of "saving all mankind", and finally serves as a trump card. In fact, too much arrangement is not good. I really want to see Squid write about those real little people who struggle step by step and become the protagonists who arrange others, rather than being arranged. Finally, The Last Fire in the Night is a very good book, with flaws that do not hide its flaws and a wide range of imagination. I like it very much. If it were slowed down a little later, I think this is a book that is as good as the mystery, although in my heart it is no longer inferior. Echo, yes, echo, even though I have been watching it for nearly an hour, it seems that "for all mankind" and "free comers" are still playing in my ears. The long night is long, and the remaining flames are not extinguished.

Nearly a year after reading it, I was driving by a dilapidated town a few days ago. It seemed like a post-apocalyptic scene, with an unspeakable decay everywhere. I suddenly thought of The Long Night. There is not a group of people who will risk their lives to investigate or even end the culprits. Saving all mankind is not a slogan, but a belief, a belief that transcends everything. "Human beings are always protected by the bravest among them." At the end of the story, Brother Yao's determination, Dabai's final decision, and the sacrifices of Xiaohong and Xiaobai, all of this seemed ordinary at the time, and only in retrospect can we understand their bravery. Squid always talks about echoes in this book. I have never been able to understand the deep meaning. After meeting that town, I seemed to see the characters in the book. Maybe this is the echo. The Long Night combines elements such as road travel, wasteland, supernatural powers, etc. It contains human beings' struggle for survival after the apocalypse, absurd fights, and thoughts on human nature. Let me evaluate this book in one sentence, and I think the most appropriate one is, "Save all mankind!"

This is a story about sacrifice and faith. The first volume does require some patience on the part of new readers, but after that it becomes impossible to put down. The author's writing is strong and easy, the plot is relaxed and the characters are full and vivid. The main line and spirit hidden behind it are the most exciting. I want to see the seeds blossom and bear fruit, but I can't bear to read it because I have already predicted it. Some dialogues in the book may seem too cumbersome. Although they will play a role in the plot, the key dialogues are only one or two out of ten. The book has been completed, so you don't have to worry about catching up on updates. You can read it now.

After reading The Long Night, I felt a lingering sadness in my heart that made me unwilling to read it again, but also unwilling to forget it. The author is a great online writer

In the long night, where is the remaining fire? A book I randomly turn to brings many surprises. A rare and in-depth masterpiece from Qidian. For example, the setting of "unintentional people", the blind worship of "gods" by different ethnic groups in the desperate ashes, the selfish desires and destruction of elite scientists and politicians, the origin of self-made "gods" is itself the cause of disasters, and the people who most firmly maintain their inner purity are either "schizophrenia patients" or lunatics who are regarded as the top of the pot (Lao Zhang of the Salvation Army, etc.). If the perfect score is 100, the setting "Unintentional" accounts for 90%. It exists more than the dead. Without a soul, only animal instincts and the ability to attack others remain. I wonder if you in front of the screen were also stung by the episode of "The power of Swamp Ruins No. 1 Is restored, and the "unintentional ones" return to work"?! You are embedded in an illusion, a numb machine, the doomsday is approaching, and your soul is deprived of you, but you become a "diligent" member again the moment the lights turn on. Don't you feel familiar? Regarding the superstition of "gods" among the gray natives, and looking at reality, is it too little for Ruan Jing's genius to "eliminate the three evils"? Squid does not generally write about an awakened and upgraded "Chinese Captain". The imperfection of people and groups is another highlight of this book. For example, Ding Ling, Shen Du, or the old fighting hero of the Salvation Army who was punished for his son. There are too many details, such as the evaluation of the kind-hearted Father Song by the unexplored hide-and-seek boy. Shang Jianyao's schizophrenia is also the problem of every person with a clear conscience. However, some people choose to become Xiao Hong who just joined the team; some people face their own selfish desires and become Jiang Dabai; some people become the Eighth Research Institute; and some people become the Salvation Army. Of course, more and more people have become "unintentional people" and believers of false "gods". When a dark era comes, who are you and me? In the long night, what is the "last flame" that illuminates the inner humanity without being lost?

I didn't catch up on the update when I updated it (I went to play games Now that I've finished it, I can only say that it's still as good-looking as ever, but after reading it, I still feel a little regretful. To be more precise, it should be a bit uncomfortable. But this kind of discomfort is what should be felt in the doomsday wasteland. It should be (the heart is still too fragile. A little personal thought. Although the theme of this book is the doomsday wasteland, after it was written, it became like a hymn. The beauty of human nature and the fearlessness of heroes will be inherited by those who come after. Some opinions about the plot are placed below. Don't scroll down if you are afraid of being spoiled Born in a company, both parents died, classic start. But the difference is that the protagonist is a "psychopath." "People". Because I personally also studied something called "Psychiatry" when I was in school. Although I am not proficient in it, I can be considered to have a little understanding. Therefore, when I read, I often compare the knowledge in my mind with the knowledge in the book. I can only say Cui Zui has definitely checked the relevant books or documents, and some of the details are indeed pretty good (although I can't remember which details, but they should have left traces when I read them at the time. But the subsequent descriptions are a bit literary, such as Jiu Yao and Ten Yao. I find some of the fantasies in literary works very interesting, but when I see many people in the book reviews substituting reality, I find it unreasonable. For example, in terms of the logical thinking of mental patients, I see that many book friends really think that mental patients are logical. But based on my personal consultation with mental patients, I found that logical self-consistency is only relative to their own self-consistency. In layman's terms, it "doesn't make sense." For example, a patient won't believe anything you say there is an alien in his throat. The human camera is used to monitor him who has the Qianlong bloodline. But when you show him the throat photo, he will just say "It's just that you can't detect the alien technology." Then the bloodline question is "I was picked up by my parents, and I am actually of Tianlong bloodline." Don't think too much of mentally ill people, otherwise they won't be "patients". Of course, we can't discriminate against them! The subsequent plot is to fight monsters and upgrade again and again. Everyday, miracles happen again and again. The characters of various characters and the appearances of various forces are presented to us one by one. The most interesting thing about various forces may be their connection with reality. Familiar, for example, Pangu Biological Company is like China in the last century, the Salvation Army is the same, and the original city is also similar. This sense of familiarity is like meeting an old friend, which makes people smile. In addition to the power, the character creation is also very good. There is tension. Because there are too many characters, I will just write some. Brother Yao, the real eldest brother, is a virtue and a hero, shining on this land. Dabai, the Almighty King, is an idealist like Brother Yao, but it is a pity that he is a real person. It's so uncomfortable. Xiaohong, although "ordinary", is also extraordinary. If an ordinary person can do everything well, then he is no longer ordinary. Xiaobai, the tragic past cannot stop her yearning for a better future and walking out of the depths. Yuan ushered in the light of the whole world. Lao Ge is the one who makes me sad. Is he really 100 human? Before the nuclear bomb exploded, I think it was the saddest character. All the important people were gone. Being high can only bring sorrow. Zhuang Sheng: Open-minded person, brave person, good teacher Old Han, the boss lady and other characters are actually very interesting But it's late, tired and sleepy, let's talk about it later (if I haven't forgotten).

This book has a bit of a JOJO feel, as well as the absurdity of Fujimoto Shu. Really suitable for 2D animation

It is in sharp contrast to the most romantic scene in the ideal After human beings united, the technology tree went crazy, and finally walked out of the galaxy. Under the boundless starry sky, the Internationale (Interstellar?) Sounded in the departure hall of the bustling interstellar flight station on the planet, and the holographic projection broadcast the news of the successful cultivation of crops on a planet that was previously considered unsuitable for human habitation... Squid writes about this apocalypse where human beings are struggling frantically for survival and morality is annihilated. In the endless gray wasteland, a group of people drove a dilapidated jeep, and a crappy stereo with storage function picked up from the ruins of the old world actually played a rock version of the Internationale by a Tang Dynasty band. Civilization is like a long night with no end. Even so, there are still people holding torches and moving forward slowly, just like the title of the book, "The Remaining Fire of the Long Night". Ever since Lord of Mysteries, I've known that Squid can handle
