Blood Tax

After watching the first part of "Blood Tax", I will come back to review it. This is a book that is not very suitable for the look and feel of online literature, but at the same time it is a book that integrates online literature with traditional literature. Youshu's low rating is justified. The first one or two volumes of this book will make you confused, especially the first volume, which will make you think it is a magically modified "Harry Potter", but this is just a foreshadowing for the subsequent plot. This kind of big plot (millions of words serving a big plot) is written in a way that is extremely inconsistent with the perception of online literature, but it is real, and when all the truth is revealed, you will really feel that it is like a real history. Secondly, some of the characters in his plots seem to be "forcibly reducing their intelligence". For example, when you first go to the academy and encounter a sea monster, or when the enemy sieges you and there is a chance to escape, you will not run away, but stay and hold on. These plots seem extremely intellectual and even illogical, but placed in a world with a Cthulhu background (the high-level sanity values ​​are not high), and from the perspective that different forces have different interests, these seemingly intellectual plots are actually extremely reasonable. Once again, his protagonist is not an absolutely good person, and even stands in the position of an aristocrat and tries to fight against exploitation. This is undoubtedly a huge poisonous point for today's Internet literature, but when we return to the world of novels, this position and choice is inevitable. The protagonist is not an absolutely good person, he is a "blood tax" levied, and he can abuse furu for information, but he is a real person, a person who fits his class status and role. The above points all lead to "Blood Tax"'s rebellion against the perception of Internet literature, but it is also an excellent work that grafts Internet literature and traditional literature. The above shortcomings that are not in line with the perception of online literature are precisely the efforts of serious literary writers to pursue literature that is more authentic, closer to history, and logical. But "Blood Tax" uses all this to serve a different imagined world, a world where DND and Cthulhu are mixed. What is the biggest attraction of online articles for readers? The most intuitive one is Shuang. Internet articles simplify the love, hate, madness, pain, joy, and silence brought about by traditional popular novels focusing on the storyline into one word "Shuang", hence the title "Shuang Wen". But Shuang can be copied, and short videos are copying Shuang with a lower acceptance threshold. Therefore, apart from the unreliable coolness, the real core competitiveness of online literature is a completely imaginary world. It is precisely in order to create a world and serve that online literature has a length that far exceeds that of traditional literature. "Blood Tax" is a model of world creation. Apart from the jokes of magically modifying other works, we will find that the world view of this work is extremely self-consistent. At the same time, it is different from the setting of a simple world of the party. "Blood Tax" shows a completely different world with a complete story and distinctive characters. This is a story about heroes and a story about redemption. This is a story about doomsday in a sense, but it is also a story about igniting hope with love. It contains too much helplessness, separation, and death, but I believe that in the next two volumes, our Griffith will eventually transcend all darkness and bring the light of redemption to the world.

The writing style of Blood Tax makes it an embarrassing work. It can be clearly seen that the author has a clear setting for the entire world and has clear control over the writing content. From the detailed actions of various characters to foreshadowing and recycling, the foundation is quite solid. However, the author has integrated all kinds of jokes in his writing, and used inappropriate terminology for the content. In fact, it is a bit closer to the light novel, which makes the work a bit unpalatable. Those who like hard-core western fantasy will not prefer this work, but those who read light novels will find the content serious, so it is a no-brainer for both parties. At the same time, I feel that this is a work in which the author lets himself go very freely. It's still a matter of memes. I must admit that the author's integration of memes is actually quite good. It's not the so-called "letting readers find identification", but truly integrating the content of each work into the world. Or, according to the author, the things happening in this world are similar enough to be used. It's hard for me to say how effective this is. Personally, I like this approach very much. From the haze of Innsmouth to the Mountains of Madness, this kind of familiarity doesn't change the story itself, but it does make people smile. However, for a work itself, too many and too complex imprints of other works will not bring a particularly good impression. Too clear a tribute can easily cause people's thoughts to drift to other works, resulting in a sense of fragmentation in reading, or in other words, a drama. This is why I said it has the flavor of a light novel. The story itself is actually not frivolous, but the way it is written is a bit frivolous. The plot itself actually plays a negative role in shaping the entire work. At the same time, there are too many and too complex works, and their own styles are not unified. Although they are all based on the original story, there will still be a sense of conflict. The imprint brought by the meme covers the original story, just like the Force suffocating the throat. An overly vivid imprint will wash away your own things. Let's talk about the shortcomings that I think are lacking. The characters are not three-dimensional enough and the story is a bit rough. The author is actually very detail-oriented in his descriptions. It can be seen from the interaction between men and women that there are really few authors who can write emotional dramas normally. However, these details have not successfully created a sufficiently three-dimensional character. In view of the fact that I have recalled reading most of the online articles, I feel that I should not be too harsh on this point. At the same time, regarding this point, I think the problem lies in too much description of the characters and too little description. A lot of plots can actually be written for a long time. Only enough plots can make the characters three-dimensional. There are not enough details that can express the character's personality outside of their emotional life. The story is rough for the same reason. There is too little content and too few details. Not to mention the foreshadowing content, there are just a few explosive points of the plot that could be expanded upon and written. Now it seems that it is too rushed. Take this ceremony of the Chosen One as an example. It doesn't read like an epic, but rather a bit too domestic. How many fights were there in total? How many people showed up? Everyone is poised for a miracle involving the higher road and the survival of the race? The final ending seems very hasty, if I say anything bad about it. Maybe this is just a foreshadowing, but it shouldn't be such a treatment. It feels like it's too rushed. I personally approve of this work, but it belongs to a genre that I would not recommend to others. (I can get it, but it's hard for others to get it). But then again, I don't think it's bad. All the above shortcomings come from my expectations for it. I think this setting and the author's ideas can be turned into a better work. But the author did tell a story that at least attracted me, and it was a good story. Details, blending, and these shortcomings do not hinder the core of the story and the things behind it. Even without these gags, this would still be a good story, which is what makes me feel a little regretful.

I feel like the author writes too casually. For example, it's like laying down a foreshadowing in the early stage, and then writing a lot of things that are unreasonable, inconsistent with the character, and cannot be accommodated in the world view of the book in order to explode the foreshadowing. The plot is inappropriate, there should be a plot line, and then various events occur, making the story reasonable and exciting at the same time. It always gives people I want to make a dumpling for this plate of vinegar, and it is chocolate-flavored. I think there should be no outline. I just write whatever comes to my mind. This is often the case. The second problem is that as I write, I can't tell the difference between the protagonist and myself. Is it what the protagonist thinks or what you think about yourself? Similarly, it's a bit difficult to distinguish between humorous reading content and serious story development. This situation seems to be more common in urban literature. As for style homage and so on, I still have some skills as a copycat. In short, my recommendation is that if you like Western fantasy, are willing to tolerate a little poison, and have the psychological expectations of a eunuch, you can read it. I suggest you read it quickly and just follow the author.

It's so exciting. The magician in Western Fantasy is almost the same, but the one-to-one combat is still good-looking, and magic is used to assist. The worldview is rigorous and can be checked, not just imagined. There is no weak point. The supporting characters are no less good. Teammates are useful as teammates. The article is relaxed and relaxed, with big scenes and relaxed daily life, and is also very deep. However, I personally felt that the fighting was not exciting enough. When fighting the goblins, I felt that I did not kill them to the point of being scared. I felt that it was not strong enough and I was not relieved. As it unfolds, you can peep into the deep darkness, but you can't touch it. The protagonist feels crazy and abnormal. The protagonist has changed a lot from the beginning to the present. The madness due to mental exhaustion is very dramatic and not natural enough. When killing a living corpse and transforming into a bat, the desire to suck blood does not change very naturally. I'm more curious about how the author handles the relationship between Elf and Sonia. It feels like they won't be together.

Three golden chapters at the beginning The first one is okay, although the writing is good, but it can get 80 points out of 100 Then the second and third chapters take a sharp turn The second chapter, the blushing protagonist, the reception with a weird tone of salesmanship, and the inexplicable Goblin Slayer-like team The local leader suddenly appeared in the tavern to issue a mission Brother, did you come from time travel, and what is your background? What about the persona you had before you appeared or before time travel? What about the most important golden finger? ? ? ? Also, while you were filing at the headquarters, why did you fly to participate in the local plot? Was this period meant for you to travel or for you to take a vacation? Is 10 days enough for you to get from the border to the capital? Moreover, the military headquarters is organized into batches and centralized operations Even if you can make sense What exactly did you write in the three golden chapters? After publishing a book, I can say that I have to read it after buying it But your three golden chapters are not attractive at all Seeing such a high recommendation, is this it? ? ? ?

No matter how you travel, being distracted on the battlefield means death, and if you are distracted for such a long time, this time traveler has a big heart, a big head, a big butt 😁

Most of the names written in capital letters by the author are from the Si generation.

"Blood Tax" is a story that I have been preparing for many years. The earliest idea came from "The Red and the Black", and I even considered a similar name for the original title. The red army and the black mysterious side also happen to be the core of this book. It's just that the novels of this era cannot allow Griffith to lose himself in his interactions with Galadia and Sonia, and die worthless in the end. Stendhal, the author of "The Red and the Black", makes a guest appearance in this book together with the protagonist Julien as Count Larmore's secretary Armance Soren (Sorel), but this time Miss Larmore will not give it away for free. 1. World view The world map of this world is similar to Byzantine Rome. I have hinted at it many times in the book, for example, in 1453, the capital in two sea areas (the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea), the Eastern Province on the other side of the strait from the capital, and the large river and grain-producing area (Nile River) that flooded from south to north in the Southern Province. I even used place names such as Odessa, Sevastopol, and Izmir directly, and I just missed writing the word Byzantium. This world is the world of real Cthulhu. The real god will almost never appear. Once he does, he will be in despair that cannot be resisted. Just like a sailor on a ship looking down at the never-ending rolling waves, strange shadows appear under the sea from time to time, and there are also strange things that are beyond common sense. If these things appear, he will definitely die. However, he may not have encountered these strange things in the end, but was drowned in the sea because the ship was torn apart by the storm. Based on this background, under certain circumstances, people in this world will lose their sanity due to the terrifying existential radiation and lost power, say crazy things (referring to JOJO memes) or become crazy (referring to the behavior of P Club players). 2. Combat Power Setting Sequence 8 is the backbone of combat power in this society. Many important magic items require at least Sequence 8 to be activated. This condition is also the minimum requirement for becoming a knight class and a mage stationed in remote areas. Sequence 7 has a relatively strong combat power and can serve as the leader of the Beyonder team or the commander of the army in a certain region. Most extraordinary people will be at this level for a long time. Galadia has a special setting, which allows her to do things that other Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 people can't even think of. Sequence 6 and above are called Extraordinary. Their extraordinary abilities can be projected under certain circumstances, forming effects similar to Noble Phantasms. The level of power is very different from that of Sequence 7. The protagonist's squadron leader Erza Valkyrie is such a character, and she has a very important plot in the later stages. Furthermore, extraordinary strength is not the only measure of strength in this book. Physical strength and other unknown forces are also powerful, just not as common. For example, a demon wolf without extraordinary characteristics can defeat an entire group of dismounted armored cavalry by charging (refer to the use of war elephants to charge the garrison in the Roman war). Organization, techniques, tactics and quantity are very important. A team of Sequence 9 armored cavalry can basically succeed when besieging a Sequence 6 one; a powerful mage is more like an artillery unit and is likely to be defeated or killed without proper cover; Rana, who is very strong in terms of setting but actually very strong, can be knocked over by a few goblins without helmets and equipment; the protagonist has repeatedly blocked the terrain and defeated the superior enemy. Future stories will also show that extraordinary strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat, which is one of the themes of this book. This can be regarded as some of my own innovations after reading so many fantasy novels. 3. Money and Society Beyeland's city prototype is a synthesis of Constantinople and Paris. Victory in the war brought more colonies and investment opportunities, and money flowed into the farms and mines of the new provinces, diverting investment. The money could have been used to accelerate the industrialization of the world, such as the steel and textile industries, and Beyeland would become rich and empty. The powerful wizard class can claim that the city belongs to them rather than to the craftsmen, vagabonds, and traditional military nobles. The study of magic is their highest pleasure, regardless of the fact that most people cannot use magic. There are also some people who are not satisfied with this, and they will work hard to push the wheel of the times and involve the protagonist and his friends. The currency system is a synthesis of the franc system at the end of the 19th century, with reference to a large number of famous works such as "Beautiful Friends", "The Red and the Black", and "Les Misérables". I made adjustments according to different stages of wartime and foreign trade and investment. At the beginning of the first volume, due to the wartime situation and the shortage of supplies, 1 silver lang was equivalent to nearly 100 RMB. At the end of the first volume and most of the subsequent period, 1 silver lang was equivalent to about 75-80 RMB. The first volume is the one I am most satisfied with. Although the length and story layout are limited, I cannot expand on all the settings and foreshadowings. However, after repeated revisions of the plot and rhythm control, I think it has reached a high level before and after winter camping. There will be several small volumes and small plots next, and the core of the first stage is arranged in volumes five and six.

Are there any recommendations for novels similar to Blood Tax? 😁 I'm also following Bloodline of the Kingdom, and Steel Steam and Fire are also okay. I haven't found a fantasy novel with more than 500,000 words that suits my taste recently 😐. As for Blood Tax, there is nothing that can beat it (><)

The author, Pigfoot, is a person who crawled out from the dead. He has died countless times. He is not facing a god. Why should he be frightened or shocked just when facing a slightly stronger opponent? Very out of character, you know? When I was beaten for the first time when I was a student, I was so frightened that I trembled, the second time I was so excited that I was trembling, and the third time I was expressionless. Even though I was beaten to the death, I never felt panic. So, let me ask him, a little general who has fought to the death in hundreds of battles, and he is not facing a god. What right does he have to be frightened? Tell me, why?

The author writes well, but there are three problems. First, the Harry Potter flavor in your book is too strong, which affects reading (I am a Harry Potter fan). Even if you are borrowing from it, there is no need to draw on some plots, such as the twins and the names of the schools, which happen to be four colleges. These are completely unnecessary and greatly affect reading. How can I put it, now I feel an unpleasant feeling when I see similar plots in books. Secondly, I can't always remember the names of the people in it. Often when a name appears, I have to think for a long time before I can figure out who it is. The author has to think of a way, but as for me, I am a scumbag and can't find a way. Third, the protagonist's master is Sophia. You always arrange for him and the elf (didn't remember) to have previous activities, which is completely inconsistent with the identity of a knight (don't accuse me of being servile or anything like that. The protagonist is a native and he is a knight. Judging from the author's description, he is indeed filial and loyal to his master, but this writing is completely inconsistent with the character). Finally, come on, author, this is a rare masterpiece, with a grand world view, a reasonable economic system, and a unique writing style. The current combat power estimation system will not collapse (never one person becomes an army). Friends passing by can take a look.

The moment for the show has arrived

High emotional intelligence, excellent combination of online writing and traditional writing. Low emotional intelligence, online writing is not online writing, and tradition is not traditional.

Many people are praising me, so I won't go into details about the good parts, but focus on the uncomfortable parts. In short, the core is that the main plot is too fast and the hidden plot is too complicated and urgent, resulting in the protagonist lacking a clear inner driving force. He is more like an NPC set up for the plot than a living person, with divinity higher than humanity, and reason higher than emotion. For readers, such a protagonist is indeed helpful to look at the story more concretely out of the novel environment, but for the reading experience of online articles, it can undoubtedly give a very poor evaluation. The human heart can sometimes be compared to metal, but it cannot always be metal. Curiosity, doubt, suspicion, laziness, and arrogance are all processes that the protagonist of a realistic novel has to go through. For example, the saint of Anjou sacrificed herself. Revenge is of course the first driving force and it is the main story that has to be told, but is there possible anger in it? Regret? Introspection? Sad? Almost no mention at all. Geffy is like a tool man who specializes in revenge plots. Because his lover sacrificed himself for God's force majeure plan, he wants revenge. After revenge, he can start a new life. Then the next paragraph continues to repeat the lover's sacrifice of himself due to force majeure (the fate of the elf), another tragedy to suppress emotions, and then a new life. It is understandable that the growth of protagonists in general realistic novels relies on relatively powerless and realistic tragedies, but there should be a soft landing and buffer, instead of me eating hot pot and singing, and suddenly being robbed by bandits, many times. Writing novels is not like leeks. Metals also have fatigue thresholds. It is indeed difficult to write about spiritual growth in the face of resistance, but there is growth. A good old investigator will pack up his armor with many friends and set off for adventure, instead of sitting by the river and constantly flapping his friends. This is also a reflection of Geffy's strong NPC character. He is always tireless on the charge, but does not fill his ammunition with emotions. The author's emotional drama is well written, but it is not deep enough, so the inner drive is not enough. The feeling can probably be summed up in this sentence, that is, the hatred is not deep enough, so the love seems not deep enough. The too trivial alternation of emotions disrupts the pure rhythm. Even if the subject is a scumbag who has changed his mind, when he is in love, he will show that he is the one who loves her most regardless of life and death. But Guffey doesn't have it. Apart from emotions, other drives that support the core of his character are not pure enough because of his character. His ambition is not fierce enough (he does not have the ambition to become a king), his plunder is not greedy enough (he does not have the characteristics of being greedy for money and regardless of life and death), his justice is not firm enough (he does not abandon the belief in Satan), and his consciousness is not thorough enough (he himself is an exploiting class). Forging materials with excessive impurities can remove some impurities through continuous forging, but the final shape will be very brittle. As the protagonist, Geffey gives me the same impression. His inner drive is not enough to support the protagonist's position in a vast and real world view. He is too brittle and not thick enough.

I watched it all in one go yesterday, and my first impression was of a grassroots counterattack. But I read it again today, and I feel that the male protagonist has a big problem. It's not simple. First of all, the strangest thing is the first chapter. It is obvious that the male protagonist behaves like an amnesia patient. At first, I thought the male protagonist was a time traveler. But later on, the male protagonist behaves completely like an aboriginal, his memory seems to be completely fine, and his brain never hurts Then there is the quality of the male protagonist. After coming down from the front line, the male protagonist showed extraordinary strategic command and ability to fight in battle. At the time, I thought this was just reflected by the villagers. But compared with other colleagues later, the male protagonist is still much better, especially no matter what kind of enemy he faces, "as long as Griffith launches a charge, the situation will get better." Some people might say, isn't this a very common protagonist halo? But don't forget that the male protagonist is just a trainee knight who is not an officer. If the trainee knights all had this quality, it would be much harder for the author to write about generals, marshals, legendary creatures, and gods. As for the male protagonist's experience, don't you think that the male protagonist's so-called two years of military experience seems too rich? Those experiences combined together tell me that I have been a soldier for 20 years. I believe it. And now the male protagonist, who is over fifty, is the second son of the family. It seems that his family has never appeared. He even remembers only his comrades, as if he has no family. What is also very strange is that the male protagonist seems to have memory gaps several times. Many events often end very abruptly (such as a sudden ellipsis) and it takes several sentences in the next paragraph to suddenly realize that the previous event has ended. It's as abrupt as being in a desperate situation and suddenly waking up to find that you were in a dream and then finding yourself in a new place and needing to start recalling to explain the situation. The memory of the male protagonist seems to be constantly being revised. For example, he was in a desperate situation on the battlefield before, and then suddenly became safe. The memory told him that he was transferred away from the front line by a transfer order. Another example is that the ring requires flesh and blood essence, and then his memory suddenly tells him that there was a piece of octopus meat that he picked up and put in the bag. To sum up, if we rule out the possibility that these are the author's errors or his narrative habits, then the male protagonist's memory is likely to have been tampered with, added and corrected. My current guess is that the male protagonist either went crazy and was invaded by evil gods when he witnessed the tragic death of his comrades on the Eastern Front, or he was simply fed a large amount of false memories to make him think he was Griffith.

Dear book friends, when this book is about 1 million words long, there will be a story similar to the development, construction and preparation of field artillery, matchlock guns, and combat plots in the early Renaissance. I've finished saving the manuscript, but I'm still ready to optimize it further. Please ask book friends with relevant knowledge reserves to provide knowledge and suggestions. At the same time, fans and characters related to the research and development, construction and use of artillery are welcome to join this main plot line. In the plot, a character like Joan of Arc will appear and fight together with the protagonist and fan characters. The artillery officers of the fandom will participate in the important plot, which is somewhat similar to the technical experimental unit in Apocalypse of the One Year War (most of the members will definitely end badly in the end, but there will be a few HEs left). Considering that new technology research and development often involves madman-like behavior, the sanity value of the relevant characters does not need to be very high. The crazy behavior and remaining beliefs from time to time will be the difference between the relevant characters. I've got Jerry Lean from the Muppets Book Club involved.

Blood Tax has become the first contestant in my western fantasy book list to have a happy death, and I wish Xiong Da's new book a smooth release.

Thank you for your thoughtful readers. Your suggestions on prices and productivity are very valuable. This is something I have always cared about. 1. Prices. You can probably guess the currency system of this world, which is florins, francs, sous and centimes. In different periods, the exchange of money and commodities is also different. What is the concept of the first meal the protagonist eats? It was in a mountainous province near a war zone and the maritime blockade had not been lifted. I ate a whole pound of mutton, two large pieces of bread, a plate of apples and vegetables, and a plate of honey. In contrast, 10 silver francs allowed the town officials to live for a week. That was the normal consumption level of residents, who lived on black bread and a small amount of vegetables and meat. Even though the protagonist is sometimes very aggressive, have you seen any of his purchases and counter-offerings? He is so thin-skinned! 2. Savings. The protagonist has been a soldier for two years. In fact, the war ended not long after he was promoted to second-level squad leader (before his promotion, he could kill pure-blooded orcs with lucky dice). During this period, he bought himself mail armor, leather armor, gauntlets, helmets, swords and daggers. In addition, the prices of daily necessities on the front line are very high. You must have noticed that the protagonist mentioned in the conversation with his teacher that their real goal on the eastern front is to extract points along the coastline. So it is self-evident how scarce supplies will be before the fortresses along the way are removed. 3. Productivity and world map. The productivity of this world is really not low, and I wonder if you have noticed? There are two sea areas sandwiching the capital. Across the strait to the east of the capital is the Eastern Province. The province south of the sea has a large river flowing from south to north. Where do you think this is? As the war subsides, food from the south will flood in, lowering prices and bringing about new social problems and the following story. The protagonist will not return to his hometown to farm, build water trucks, hydraulic machine tools, muskets and modern armies. I have a more interesting idea.

Fan art of the male protagonist, referencing Ge Sha's classic look

Can this be used as the cover of the nun's character?

Sonia's appearance reference. There will be fan creations dedicated to her in the future

A masterpiece, similar to the DND version of Harry Potter + The Lord of the Rings, and it is mixed without any sense of dissonance. The plot, world view, characters, and writing are all excellent.

Spoilers! Be careful! Spoilers! Be careful! Spoilers! Be careful! . . . . . . . . . . I was just a junior in college when I first read it, and now I have started writing my master's thesis. As the only book I have recommended on Zhihu, it is still necessary to leave some comments for "Blood Tax". The first time I read this book, I was actually confused. After all, Griffith seemed to be in a half-dream and half-awake state in the first chapter, and I didn't understand what he was writing. But I accidentally read the first chapter again, and even the second chapter, and couldn't stop. In fact, judging from the current situation of re-reading "Blood Tax", you can actually feel the author's writing skills after reading the first chapter, and then have a basic understanding of the level of the book. I don't know why I didn't notice it back then. But after reading the end of the first season, on the one hand, due to the discontinuation of updates, and on the other hand, I was also troubled with various things, so I had to give up this book temporarily. It wasn't until recently that I rewatched the finished film. Let's talk about my feelings in the order of plot development. First of all, the first volume mainly consists of two parts: Goblin and Academy. The first part is pretty good, the second part is a little worse, but overall it's ok. But there are obvious problems with the opening volume. There are too many jokes, many people have mentioned it, so I won't say more; there are some completely unnecessary plots, such as the elf lady being held down by a powerful orc holding down the blaster. It cannot be said that there is definitely a problem, but since it can avoid suspicion, why not improve the perception? As well as a series of confusing operations in the early days of the academy, although the last volume has withdrawn the clues, an explanation can be given before. Even if this explanation is just a misleading, it can also relieve some readers' misunderstandings. The feeling of finally revealing the mystery will not be compromised. I understand that this is not a commercial novel, but it is not unacceptable to learn from some of the advantages of commercial novels. Fortunately, at the beginning of the second volume, the world is gradually revealed. Elodie jumped off the cliff while burning, followed by Beyeland on January 22nd. The shock level of this plot is the peak of the previous volumes. After the horse's hooves trampled through the crowd, the weapon in the hands of the Senate had a mind of its own. During this period, a larger conspiracy emerged, the strange Kingdom of God on the ground of Canaan, and Griffith's encounter with the king at night were all quite outstanding plots, until Krista said the soul-piercing "I miss you" when Griffith was about to cut her throat. After a brief reunion, the tears of the moon fell ruthlessly, and Griffith went on a killing spree at the god's trance... He gradually transformed from a warrior to a leader. The process in the second half is much faster - it can also be said that the time span of the entire novel is actually quite short, and the new soldier became the first consul in just a few years. Throughout the middle and later periods, the most ambitious fables were actually two fables: one is Roland's riddle kingdom, and the other is Griffith's fall into the painter's fantasy world, "The king, the pope and the rich man sat in the room." This is something that no ordinary author would be able to write even to death. But even with all its merits, the plot has sped up since the beginning of The Rite of the Chosen One, and with something as brilliant as The Divine Comedy of Naira and Commodus, it always feels like it's progressing too fast. At the end, the line is withdrawn and it's over. Let's talk about it from a few more detailed aspects. First, the author's description of the war is quite detailed and sophisticated. It's rare to see such a sophisticated work on the charge of cavalry and infantry, and the cooperation of multiple arms. It goes without saying that the battle scenes are grand. The only problem is that many times it is obsessed with describing the specific details of the war and so on, with inserted narrative and expository passages interrupting the mood. In fact, many places are directly rendered, which is the most interesting to read. Second, character creation. The portrayal of the protagonist is almost impeccable, but the supporting characters, especially some of the Shutorals, are not impressive. The author has launched multiple Shutoral in a short period of time, with limited visual distinction. For commercial novels, introducing multiple characters with similar characteristics at the same time or consecutively is a big no-no. Although this book is not a commercial novel, we can also learn from the advantages of commercial novels, right? It would be nice if there were no shortcomings. As for the heroines... Garadia and the officer sister are very distinct, and the countess... She changed a bit too quickly. She was asked by the Duchess "Is your head not working well" before, and then she suddenly started to attack later. I still like Krista the most, this character captures my heart so much. Compared with the others, she is almost always dead, but, "the dead one will never lose." The author shaped her into an infinitely beautiful incarnation in Griffith's memories. Whether it was being smashed by Beamon at the beginning, "those blue eyes were still looking at him", the dance in the memory of the campfire, "we are going to buy a big house on the beach", or "I miss you" after the reunion... Even if she was smashed by the Tears of the Moon God to ashes, she had already won in this girl Shura field surrounding Griffith. A childhood love-type character was resurrected with the advantage of falling from the sky, and was killed by a meteorite in front of Griffith. No matter which girl was the final winner, she had to accept the fact that Krista had been completely imprinted on Griffith's heart. As I said just now, the one who dies will never lose. The exchange between Krista and Galadia after the duel actually hinted that she would not die even if she was hit by the Tears of the Moon God, so I was relatively optimistic when I first started reading the second half. But after the Divine Comedy of Naira and Commodus, Griffith also fell into a dream with Krista. From cruel reality to a beautiful and unreal life, this is the most brutal part of the book. When the two of them said goodbye on the beach after eating the mutton, I realized that the nun was probably really dead. I just didn't expect that the author still left a trace of tenderness and successfully avoided the risk of being beaten to death by readers. But! The hint of tenderness at the end is too subtle, which is what I will complain about next. After resolving the crisis in Canaan, we directly entered the dungeon conversation between Griffith and Count Chalon. There was no explanation of anything after the war, and there was no lingering sound about the characters that were created with a lot of ink. It felt like it was rushed to the end. If this is a blank space, then there is too much left, and it is simply digging into the reader's heart. Are there any extras? Is there any extra? Is there any extra? Is there any extra? Is there any extra? ... When I read a book, I pursue emotional excitement more than I require self-consistency in logic. Fortunately, this book has both. The author of the next "Light Cone" will probably be more experienced and able to avoid the problems of the previous work. In addition... Some issues that were not explained in the previous work will surely be explained, right? Um? In short, I hope that the new book will not cause too much controversy, and that it will not be updated in quarters to increase the reading volume. I wish Xiong Wen a prosperous future!

Great author, is the first book of Blood Tax the Canaan one? , Or some other novel, what's its name?

Fiona has the dual qualities of a paladin and a spellcaster, and her appearance is for reference only a female swordsman. The initial setting of Rana's appearance can be referred to the early version of GUTS of Brother Killer Heavy Warrior and Sword Style. Neither of them borrowed characters from each other.

I feel like I am not a new author. There are too few updates and I am reluctant to read it. Do you have any other works?

The description of the battlefield in the first few chapters is quite interesting, but a few chapters later, the male protagonist leaves the battlefield and starts to go to school, hanging out with the noble lady and the elf lady in the magic school all day long. I'm convinced, but I don't see you targeting a harem or many heroines. You really tricked people into killing them

Advantages: The description is really good Disadvantages: Most of the time, the advantages are not used A bunch of things with inconsistent painting styles are sewn in to advance the plot. It's not clear whether it's because he can't come up with a plot, or because the author wants to mention everything he knows to find resonance. It might be a good book if you remove all the seams.
