Cyber Ascension

I am actually reading this book intermittently. I stopped for a long time because of the heavy learning tasks. I have almost forgotten the plot, and I never have time to read it again, so I just kept stopping. In the past few days, I have reread the second volume and spent another night reading chapters I have never read before (although I have only read the beginning of the third volume). It is very shocking. The author uses rich writing styles to create a vast world and a magnificent story. The worldview is like an onion layered one on top of another. Vertically, at first, you think this is a typical cyberpunk world: gap between rich and poor, high technology and low life, violence, rainy cities, resistance forces, capitalists and their forces. Then, you discover that there is magic and Taoism in this world, and technology is only a part of it. Finally, you finally discover that this is an interstellar adventure story. Beyond the human world, there is a vast spiritual world waiting to be explored. And horizontally, the four levels of Aqilu, Jezila, Belaiya, and Ahiya interact with each other, giving the non-scientific part a higher depth. Connected horizontally and vertically, they form an extremely three-dimensional world. What exactly is science fiction? I think we all have our own opinions. "Science Fiction World" can publish creatures in the style of the Cthulhu mythology, and "Galaxy Empire" can feature humans with special abilities to "push" other people's psychology and sense each other. Science fiction is free and broad. In my opinion, the only constant is the discussion of human nature and society. Science fiction is still a kind of novel in the end. Therefore, I think this book is an excellent and interesting science fiction novel. So let's talk about the story. First of all, this is an interesting story. Wang Xiaobo advocates that novels should be interesting, which is also my point of view. In telling the story of Gu Shi, the author also managed to be dense and dense. Even if the tight plot follows one after another, there will be soothing moments, such as ordering food in Chapters 380 and 381. Let's talk about writing again. I personally like the writing style of this book very much. This style gives people a rich reading experience - the author is not stingy when describing is needed, and when it is not necessary, he accurately devotes his pen and ink to dialogue and plot development. There is no shortage (or rather there are many) of powerful paragraphs, dialogues, and scenes in the article, which also allows one to appreciate the writing skills. There is also a sufficient balance between humor and seriousness. For example, the conversation between Li Liang and Master Yuanshi in Chapter 411 (which actually happened before he killed everyone) makes the readers laugh and makes the tense situation seem a little lighter. The POV technique used in the second chapter also enriches the layers of the whole story, showing group portraits-little people, big people, protagonists, and cannon fodder. I think this is a very suitable writing method for a three-dimensional world view like this. Finally, let's talk about characterization. My favorite characterizations are Sonoya, Group, and Soft. Among them, the author spent more space on Mizuno and the group. We can see a gentle Mizuno, a cold and cruel Mizuno, and a slightly naughty Mizuno. In other words, the wonderful thing is that these three Mizuno are mixed together, and Chapters 391 and 406 establish this character. Needless to say, the group, whether it is Billy who was in charge of filming a thousand years ago, or the agent Whisper, the pioneering logistics manager Sorge, Gaetano who was deeply loved by Marlena... Could it be that Billy has a total of 24 personalities? Finally, Soft was caught in the peripheral vision of language. Although he appeared rarely, he left a deep impression on me almost every time: resignation, "that sweet death", and the shootout at the wedding. The broad-waisted and fat-bodied people at SoftBank are hedonists, capitalists, and manipulators of money and capital. They have the right amount of greed that is indispensable to such people. In Soft, profit-seeking, loyalty, ruthlessness and madness coexist. He is good at inciting people's emotions, but he may be a person who chases the end (but it is not a deliberate pursuit but waiting naturally). What he believes in is not a greater cause and The romance of human nature, but everything will eventually end, and for this he must get what he wants and use them before then. He is very realistic, but a bit nihilistic (I don't know if this is over-interpretation, but in short, I like this character so far until the beginning of Chapter 3). I personally believe in the theory of evil nature. So, after human productivity reaches a certain stage and is enough to meet any needs, where will our innate selfishness and self-interest go? I have discussed this issue with a friend before. My friend's opinion is "There is no concept that can be defined as selfish, because there is no need for reasons." Because we don't have and demand, there is no such thing as selfishness. So strictly speaking, as a part of human nature, it may be expressed in other forms, but it is not the current selfishness... We are limited by productivity, which is unimaginable." The author gives us a new perspective: the dissolution of traits and the decline of desires. And this is also the basis for the background of human society (uptown and downtown, Xian and everyone else) in the entire story. When Li Liang and his party first arrived in Shangcheng District, Dr. Xisen's explanation of the lives of people in Shangcheng District, and after the war ended, Li Liang lived in Shangcheng District and participated in children's philosophy courses. These two paragraphs also made me feel quite touched: When survival is no longer the first priority and what you want is within reach, what kind of life will humans pursue? This actually reminds me of Zamyatin's "We". The difference is that the country in the story is not as developed as in this book. People there are unable to realize that they actually still have more needs and desires. After repeated rounds of education, washing/ In /Brain and Religion//, we believe that we have lived the most perfect life a person can achieve. Compared with this book, we can also divide the satisfaction of needs into two types: one is actually unsatisfied, and the other subjectively thinks that it is satisfied, so that it no longer produces desires beyond the current limit. The other is the development of productive forces to the extent that they can indeed meet all needs. I personally like cyberpunk and its art style very much. In the traditional cyberpunk world, it advocates "treating people like rats, and all measures against rats can be applied equally to people." What makes this book vaguely fashionable to me is that although people in the downtown area also live in violence, gangs and control, they In fact, they are protected by Xi'an (even at the cost of dignity and freedom). Their existence is not so insignificant that they can be slaughtered at will, but a kind of fire (of course, there is still a difference between overall existence and individual existence)... There is still a group assignment that I haven't done, so I can't say more, and I have compressed some space. I hope I will have the opportunity to write a comment next time. I always feel that people are connected. The author has wished me good grades in the comments before, so in order to repay such a simple friendship and thank the author for letting us see such a story, it is necessary for me to write a little comment. This is a book that both the author and the readers feel at home with. In other books, we sometimes see the author asking for leave, even if it is because a family member is sick, and many people are scolding him for not updating or asking for leave in advance, which makes people very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I have not seen this among the readers of this book. There are still many things that I haven't been able to write... "The guest still sighs and the mud is slippery". The characters in the story would rather return to their hometown even if they give up their strength and endure the pain, because that is the final destination of each of our souls (it may also be Geladandong Peak). This is the end of writing. Finally, I wish the author, other readers, and everyone in the world peace, joy, good health, and not be affected by the epidemic. Good night.

I have read more than 300 chapters so far. I would like to share my feelings. I also hope that friends who click on the discussion thread to decide whether to read this book will not miss this beautiful novel. (No spoilers) Background: Brother Taiyi first built a very interesting social structure similar to the final product based on the future earth world. Then as the story gradually unfolds, the larger background is a multi-universe structure containing multiple power systems. The whole is grand yet delicate, diverse yet consistent. Thumbs up! Story & Plot: It revolves around the protagonist's life experience and the turmoil of the earth's society. There is obviously a very clear outline and the plot is generally compact. The protagonist is constantly involved in incidents one after another, and as conflicts and contradictions intensify, larger conspiracies and layouts gradually emerge, which is very high-level. Personally, I think the only flaw is that the protagonist's sense of loss and exhaustion is slightly not penetrated. Also, the foreshadowing between the climaxes is a bit brief. Writing Style & Emotional Line: If I had to use one word to describe Brother Taiyi's description of the scene, it would be that it has a strong sense of cinema and imagery. Many scenes also contain homages to scenes from movies such as The Godfather and Lord of War. As for the dialogue, I would describe it as more restrained and a bit ancient. One or two simple dialogues contain a lot of information and emotions, with a little charm. With occasional jitters, the overall performance is not too heavy. The emotional line is relatively hazy, with not much ink. Overall, it's beautiful, come in and take a look~ I won't praise the many wonderful points, the author will forgive me haha! Big cheers for the author!

It's so empty here. Is there anyone there? Is there anyone? Wow, there is an echo.

Don't do riddles just for the sake of riddles 😅 It feels like the protagonist says he wants to investigate his memory, but he doesn't do it seriously at all and just runs away from the plot. It seems like he is very busy, but he is doing useless work 😒 He has a cheat but doesn't use it, just messing around alone. Solve a very simple problem in a big circle, and then feel that you are very powerful 🤔 There is no need to follow the Shuangwen route, but Jinyi Night Walk is really frustrating. There is a protagonist who has good cards, but plays them badly. The game that can be killed instantly is 50-50 🙄 The setting is quite good. The author can refer to the best friend, use a fake identity to pretend to be a b, and check the background bit by bit from the top, instead of constantly fighting with various dragons 😅

😠 Create a forum for complaints. For friends who pass by, I hope you will leave your feelings while reading in this forum. You can complain and ask questions. Of course, if you don't hesitate to praise, I will accept it shamelessly 😌

There is no theme, I don't even know what I am writing, and I am still refreshing my world view At first it was cyberpunk, then mysterious, and then it was straight to Infinite Heavens. What does it have to do with cyber and ascension?

"Language often cannot directly express people's true thoughts." How to evaluate my feelings about this book, I think I can use the word moved. This is the second book that I want to buy in full. The first one is Anti-Demon (but I don't want to read it anymore, so I'll save it first). Different from the anti-demonic literary youth, I think the style of this book can be described as "orderly absurdity". From the down-and-out doctor in Xiacheng District, to the Xi'an people with high professional authority, to the exploration of the gate to the deep sea, everything happened in just one day. And when Li Liang knew his identity as a heavenly spirit and entered the spiritual world from the physical world, this absurd feeling reached its peak. However, there are also foreshadowings under the bizarre plot. At least I like the pitfalls the author buried (the frequency is right). Some puzzles were solved in the first volume, but more puzzles appeared. In my opinion, there are many settings and the fast pace of the plot is not a problem. As long as the author grasps it appropriately, it will make people feel comfortable. For me, this book is very comfortable, especially the settings thrown out one by one, which made me feel very "cyberpunk". Perhaps in the eyes of many readers, the pace of this book is too fast and the plot is too compact, but this book is very in line with my aesthetics and the frequency is right. Writing this, I don't know what I wrote, just like the language I mentioned at the beginning often cannot directly express people's true thoughts. I didn't express my touching feeling at all. Well, how should I put it, it was like the kind of cat that I originally wanted to keep, but after reading this book, I no longer wanted to keep one, because there are people in this world with the same frequency as me. Probably this is the feeling. I guess no one will read my nonsense. I hope the author has a good rest. I don't care about the frequency of updates. It doesn't matter to me if you are a eunuch. Take care of yourself. In order to prevent my enthusiasm from fading after a while, I wish you a good year in advance, hehe 🙂.

First of all, let me express my attitude. I don't think this book advances too fast, because it is this speed of recommendation and digging speed that constitutes the unique style of this book. I assume that the story will be told according to the normal flow of writing - After Li Liang found out that he had supreme authority in prison, he did not directly board the black ship to the Gate of the Deep Sea, but returned to Xiacheng District to deepen his strength (of course, some of the previous plots about Mesai and Yuan Zhen also need to be adjusted). Feet, take down the Mayfly and the Defender, and then enter the deep sea fortress. At the critical moment, he chooses to sacrifice himself to enter the spiritual world and repel the netherworld. Then he goes through all kinds of hardships in the spiritual world. At a high level, he chooses to return to the physical world, but he gets into all kinds of troubles because he has no spiritual power. Finally, the protagonist regains his memory through the clouds and fog, and then... (Can't make it up) Would it be easier to accept if it were written like this? But it's too ordinary. Anyone can write an ending that can be seen at a glance, and I won't be moved by this kind of book. This book has a style—absurdity. I don't know if you have noticed that until now, excluding his three years of amnesia and the experience of day and night on the island, it has been less than a month since Li Liang was captured in Mesai (maybe only a dozen days, I did not confirm it specifically, so don't blame me if I am wrong). After experiencing such a large plot as mentioned above in such a short period of time, during which time I jumped to three small maps and one large map, there were countless puzzles and pits. The protagonist inevitably seemed powerless in the face of the strange and bizarre real world that came like a storm. Just like the author said - Li Liang is just a slightly special ordinary person from one of the fundamental worlds. This may have a negative impact on the reading experience of many readers-how can the protagonist still be so depressed despite having been through so much? Another point is that throwing out too many settings within a period of time may make it difficult for readers to remember, affecting the sense of substitution. But I think it is these two points that create the style of this book - orderly absurdity (personal opinion, everyone may have different opinions on whether there is order or not. Anyway, I think the absurdity is quite obvious). Especially in the story of Billy "waiting for Li Liang", (☝`˘ω˘)☝. So I hope you can read this book. If you like this style, it is really a fairy grass!

Let's write a comment after reading it so far. It will be the end, otherwise I won't have time to review (ﾟ∀.). The first volume of this book gives people a rather confusing impression. You can see the events coming one after another. It seems very compact, but in fact it does not give the reader much real sense. I think the reason for this is the lack of sufficient portrayal of the protagonist's inner activities. We can hardly see the protagonist's thoughts and emotions in this series of events, and it is not even clear what he wants to do next. In addition, I think the description of the background in the first volume is also quite the Riddler. The entire background and world view are completely vague. After reading the entire first volume, I even thought that the protagonist's world was a small garden with unfinished construction, which was rough and could not withstand scrutiny.  What follows is the second volume of this book. Not much bb, I just blew it (. I have to say, I doubt whether the author of the second volume has changed (laughing). Almost all the above shortcomings have been corrected, especially the description of the protagonist's inner heart and the display of emotions. This made me have more empathy for the protagonist, and made the protagonist's image fuller and three-dimensional. The same is true for the description of the background. The explanations of magic and Taoism are informative and specific, and they are truly related to the plot of the story, rather than being reduced to the background of the story. However, there are still problems in the second volume. The explanation of the events is not clear enough. In many cases, you need to read the original text several times to figure out the different forces in the story and what they want to do. Another point that has not been solved is that although the protagonist has become flesh and blood, the characteristics of the character are still vague. It is difficult for me to tell the difference between Li Liang and other characters. The simple kindness is also relatively unclear under the influence of Li Liang himself who has awakened his memory. All in all, I am optimistic about this story! I hope the author will be more comfortable in his future writing and his ability to write stories will be improved!
