Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden

My Personal Reading List
A personal list for an old hand with 10+ years of reading Mostly single heroines I hate formulaic stories I sometimes read dumbed-down novels too. Everyone has times when they don’t feel like thinking too hard.
Classic Old Favorites and Promising (Great) New Reads~~
As the title says, classics and promising new books. I'm determined to collect books worth reading... Whether it's urban fantasy, xuanhuan, anime-inspired fiction, or books aimed at men or women, if it's good, it'll make this list! The list can hold up to 50 books, but there are far more than 50 good books out there~
A Mixed Bag of Novels (No Harem, Unless the Author Really Writes It Well)
My personal tastes. I especially like fantasy and light novels, followed by supernatural fiction. I don't really like formulaic urban or xianxia plots unless the author can make them truly creative. I hate harems, and I find ambiguous relationships uncomfortable to read. For me, a character dying is not a deal-breaker.
Male-Oriented / Cosmic Horror / High Quality / Immersive Atmosphere
Some books I've enjoyed reading. Most have a bit of Lovecraftian flavor, though they aren't necessarily strict Lovecraftian pastiches.
Fantasy, Mystery, the Supernatural, and Resurgence
This list features a selection of great new releases and popular hits. I update it regularly and highly recommend these books.
A Reading List
My standards for books are so low, so why am I always out of things to read? (I really don't get it.) Standard 1: Characters should be intelligent, especially characters established as highly intelligent. Don't make them do stupid things! Standard 2: The main characters shouldn't be annoying. Standard 3: If you can't write romance, don't write it. If you can't even manage one heroine, don't try something as difficult as a harem. Standard 4: Don't torture the protagonist. I'm usually on the prota

Shennong is actually the author himself: Simplified Poison Testing Guide V1.1
In order to save the precious leisure time of new entrants, we have summarized the existing reviews and listed the situations that may become poisonous points for some readers. I understand this. I finally have some free time, and it's quite uncomfortable to read something I don't like, so everyone makes their own judgment accordingly. 1. About the subject matter The title of this book is "Old Musicians", which is not a headline. As the name suggests, the book is a professional article on music in the genre. There are nine volumes in total, with an outline. The tone and ending of each volume have been set. It is a self-written article, hoping to catch up with the brain waves. The author is an unusual man in science and engineering, with a personality like his ID, a glass heart + a handicapped person + code words other than 996, and he will finish it. 2. About the content The ratio of mystery plot + music to plot, the length of each volume is about 55 pages, that is to say, half of it is music-related professional content, and all of it is classical music. For those who say "music content takes over the spotlight", the author heard that blood pressure will rise. If you don't understand, try going to an e-sports article to comment on "e-sports content takes over the center." The mysterious side is more agnostic, the power system is deliberately confusing, and the style of Hidden Knowledge is more like The Riddler, but the top-level design is complete, and it is not just written down as I think. v1.1 Update: I emphasize again that the style of the mysterious side of this book is The Riddler, because the world view is based on the Esoteric Buddhism, and I can't always reinvent the wheel. Only by constantly maintaining my Esoteric teaching style can I retain my own readers. So if you don't like it, don't criticize it. When reading the mysterious side, I suggest that obscurity is a poisonous point. Please don't hurt each other. The music content is both hard-core and professional. The author does not accept any fallacies. If you see any imprecision, please point it out. Kneel down to revise and thank you. 3 (v1.1 Update), about several situations where brain waves can be matched The first and second types must be music lovers or esoteric simulator players. I won't explain this much. The third option is for those who like Western fantasy, Victorian background, Cthulhu, mysterious flow or Steampunk background. The fourth one, if none of the above is the case, if you are interested in religion or mysticism, and like anti-system, anti-game, anti-deliberate power settings, you can try it if you have a sense of plausibility. The fifth type is one that is worthy of "Xueba Wen" or "Professional Wen" and has a better brainwave. Even though you may not fully understand music knowledge or mysticism, you like the plot or lines that show "the protagonist's knowledge educates other characters to be stunned for a while"... (It's naturally more satisfying if you fully understand it, but it's also a bit unclear if you don't understand it.) It's quite suitable to get this kind of excitement. If it is another type of brain wave, that is, "I am reading a novel and I still want to learn xx?", Then I may be dissuaded. 4. About Lechao The first edition of this book was conceived as an urban entertainment theme, so it has both music and original plots. Later, because it was too obsessed with the golden age of classical music in the modern European style, it became a steampunk fantasy background. (See the comments on the launch for details) The nature of the setting of "Classical music can be upgraded" is related to the foreshadowing of the main line, but this is true in the early stage. This may not be popular in the fantasy zone, but for responsible purposes, it must be pointed out. I apologize to those who have been poisoned. You just thought it was entertainment and strayed into the fantasy zone. 5. About Time Travel The names of the protagonists are directly modified based on Van Gogh's template, without describing too many changes in mentality or homesickness. The main reason is laziness, too lazy to name it, and too lazy to spend a thousand words to foreshadow "from now on, I will be XXX", so that readers will understand by default. 6. About the emotional line The main reason for not being in the harem is because I am not good at it, so I try to write as few emotional scenes as possible, none or only. Look at the later reviews. If there are many people complaining about it, then there will be no. v1.1 Update: I personally feel that the reviews since the second volume have generally been pretty good, so there are a little more descriptions of opposite-sex interactions. I would also recommend it if you are just looking for readers with "no heroine" or "single heroine". After all, it is a niche, and I hope more people will read it. However, if you like "no heroine" or "single heroine" because of misogyny, I do not recommend entering the trap. I don't want you to be poisoned. 7.About the character and acting style The protagonist may seem thoughtful and his acting style may seem mature and sophisticated, but under the surface of calmness and rationality is the sensitivity, conceitedness and melancholy of an artist, and he has a clear self-awareness. Therefore, the decisions he makes will not be completely rational, which will affect the direction of important plots. (In fact, the knowledge in this world is polluted. Don't expect anyone in the book to always make purely rational decisions.) Readers who like absolutely calm articles and purely profit-based decisions, but who are disgusted by this character and setting, should be careful. 8.About pretending to be slapped in the face The tone of the first volume is Mahler's "Symphony No. 1 In D major "Giant"". Due to the author's strange brain circuit, in order to match Mahler's immature view of heroes in his youth, in commemoration of " "Morning Light, Vitality, Nature and Youth", there will be some musical pretense and slap-in-the-face plots, and the emotional intelligence of the person involved is generally at the average level of college students. When you feel naive, you can think about your college career and how you or the people around you will deal with these things. Only in the first volume, the outline has been determined and will not be revised, so it is difficult to accept caution (see the summary at the end of the first volume for details). 9. About Stitching According to the current feedback, the stitching content in this book includes but is not limited to Lord of Mysteries, Arcane Throne, Crown of Silence, Alchemy Notes, Soul Painter, Old God Can Dream, John Christopher... If you feel the same way, you can go to the corresponding post or chapter comment. (It can also be considered that this function is to recommend books) Updated regularly, please leave a message for discussion if it is not covered. Welcome to join the group from the introduction and chat about classical music.
List of information about the Lord of Witness
I'm back after a long wait. . . The progress this time is much greater than last time, and it is a bit difficult to organize. . The number of Lords of Witness is currently known to be 21 (kick me if I'm wrong?), So the information and list are updated at any time, sorted by the time of the first appearance of the chapter (try your best, it's too difficult to sort). Let's see if there are any problems. I, the Unfallen Fire: The World Source God, appears in Chapter 4. The aspect he controls is "candle", which should be related to enlightenment, flame, and light. It refers to the sun that is the image of the world. The Holy Sun Church, one of the three major orthodox churches, originated from the Holy Kingdom of Janus in the Western Continent. The symbol has a sunken circle in the middle and a flaming radial shape around the perimeter. Related secret biography 1 (Volume 1, Chapter 108): Be a witness, you must bear witness, Prove that what I asked your Father to do is inscribed in the Glowing Garden, and is inscribed on the Trembling Throne. At that time, you told me about holiness and glory, saying that He is the Lord of the world, the Lord of enlightenment, the God of passionate flames, the God of the bright sun, saying who does not praise the King, who does not indulge in the King, and who does not worship the King. ... Because the place where I sing is radiant, glorious, gilded, silvered; I look up to the high house, the flaming mountains, the burning hills; There is the measure of the Lord, the trembling measure, the holy measure, the fiery measure; This is the measure of the garment of the Lord of Enlightenment. The words 'Lord, Lord' are engraved on both the inside and outside of His clothes. No living thing can look directly at Him, no flesh and blood can look directly at Him, and no servants can look directly at Him. I live in obedience to that will, pursuing His unfading flame and majestic support, and my life is a victorious life. I desire the inexhaustible riches of His infinite substance, I pray for the things I desire, and look forward to the perfect realization of that eternal glory. As it is said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Witnesses. Related secret biography 2 (Volume 2, Chapter 81): The person will hesitate, tremble, be frightened, shrink back, and eventually faint. But the Holy Sebastian will support him, he and the sixty-three Archbishops will support him... All of them who are light-dwellers will support him and sing his praises... ... So there should be no doubt, no fear, for he is the favored, the baptized, the secret is within him... Let him enter to see the King in the glory of his splendor... He is not destroyed, nor burned. II, Raven: The God of Origin appears in Chapter 17. The phase he controls is "Desolate", which may be related to aspects such as control and balance. It is related to the Lingyin Discipline Society, one of the three major righteous churches. It originated from the Kingdom of Lydia in the Western Continent. It is suspected that after Bologna's ascension? III, Fanghui Poet: The God of Origin appears in Chapter 17. The aspect he controls is "pool", which may be related to senses, fragrance, temptation, illusion, and Dionysian art. It is related to the origin of Fanghui Temple, one of the three orthodox churches. In the United Kingdom of Feton in the southern continent, I am reading the third volume. If I squat down for more information, it should be expanded in detail IV, Tower Builder: Jie Yuan God, appears in Chapter 20. The phase he controls is "key", and the symbol is a tower with cracks. (Volume 2, Chapter 106) Sometimes people can see purple-gold jewel lamps in lightning or cracks similar to lightning, or fractal petals connected with knots, or sparks that overflow like silver shavings and mercury paste. Those with higher inspiration can imagine a tower-shaped pattern with cracks. These are all images that the "Tower Builder", the Lord of Witnesses, can understand. The "Tower Builder" originated from Jieyuan, the god of form and transformation, the god of molding and dismantling. Often He can represent lightning, which means His elusive instantaneity, i. E. "He promises never to look at me, never to teach me, never to seek me out." Lightning also means energy, or the beauty mixed with fear, and the initial or final process of the creation of general matter. The "Tower Builder" also exists at any boundary and surface, guarding or defining the universal limitations of invisible things. It can also be expressed as the secret of "what shapes me, what I shape, what divides me, what I divide, what moves away from me, what I move away from." The ritual vessel "Consecrated Curtain" related to the Tower Builder: The moving secret realm related to the Tower Builder is the "Spark Field", "Fuel Pit" or "Fire Making Room": V, Endless Fugue:The God of the Source of Matter? Suspected to appear in Chapter 28, the Lord of Witness inherited by the protagonist. He controls the aspect of "Candle", so he is the Lord of Inspiration and the God of Polyphony. He also controls the aspect of "Key", so he is also the Lord of Reason and the God of Command. A certain high-level secret ceremony exists in history, reproducing His words and triggering His intervention. The ritual vessel used to increase the sense of the ceremony is called "Old Day" Related secrets: "Candle" is hope and enlightenment, It is the truest silhouette of the glow, and the most sacred flame in the world. "Endless Fugue" guides the climb to the top of art, He dwells in the Holy Presence of the HOS Garden, above where your spirit is born, He splits his body, the wounds opened are as bright as stars, He spreads fuel, and the gushing blood is as brilliant as a blazing fire. The throne of inspiration and insight is thus lifted up, lifted up, lifted up! He separates your name from his ministers, The spirit that celebrates one of you is a burning candle, a gathering candle, a coal that gathers the wind, a burning coal, a coal that pours forth light, all are the feared, the beloved, the favored, the contemplative, the supremely chosen, the recipient of the secret message, br>Speak in ecstasy, sing, raise your eyes, shout loudly, Homage to the heavens that dwell under the Most High, and be heard by Him. Inspiration rushes through each day, With joy, day and night, As these words say: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Witnesses. VI, Winter Wind: The God of the World, appears in Chapter 40. The aspect he controls is "Desolation", and he is the God of memory and the past. Related secrets: We worship the 'Winter Wind', the god of loss at midnight, the god of sadness and decay. Lord of Frost, Lord of Deliberation, Lord of Mists. He will never speak, and all the past that the world will remember will fade to pure white and tasteless, leaving only the revelation of silence hanging in our hearts. Those who gaze upon Him will capsize like a shipwreck into the sea; those who remember Him will bury His decrees until the severe winter comes; those who worship Him today should not serve Him the next day; those who worship Him tomorrow will never worship Him. The secret history is countless and unknown. I just pray to get a glimpse of where I am pointing. Regarding Nora Carr's flashing past, it is based on restraint and concealment, and it does not feel heavy even when inspiration is exhausted. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Witnesses. VII, may be the "Pupil Mother" mentioned later: unclear classification, appears in Chapter 65, the secret ritual used by Qiong to trap the experience officer. Relevant Prayers: …I hear you and praise you, God of doors, Mother of wounds, Hail to your great seal and your terrible crown, Words pour out from the fearful, Those emblems spread Open as lips and tongue, saying day and night, Holy, Holy, Holy ... May the closed things be afraid of your touch, and may you witness the birth of the wound... The related secret realm of migration is the "disintegration field", and Joan's future generations are promoted to places where knowledgeable people mistakenly enter. VIII, Red Pond: One of the seven masters of source witness, appears in Chapter 66. The aspect he controls is "pool", and possibly "cocoon", which is related to pleasure, fertility, and blood. Related to the secret organization Pleasure Listening Club, the ritual vessel is "The Room of Pain", and the leader is the half-executive "Miss Crimson", the daughter of Bologna (Raven), the soul twin sister of Joan, whose phases were reversed to avoid the evil of nature. IX, Viewing Death: Yiyuan God. Appears in Chapter 79. The aspect he controls is "Desolation", and is related to the secret organization Transcendental Club X, Heart Flow: Yiyuan God appears in Chapter 79, and he controls The aspect is "cocoon", which is related to the secret organization Transcendental Club "In an ancient and nihilistic crime scene, 'contemplation of death' and 'flow' were born from the two contradictions of the same process. The end of eternal death is stronger than the end of 'barren' but living, and the end of eternal existence is stronger than 'cocoon' but For death... The ritual of twins is a pilgrimage throughout the world. Even if the disqualification is no longer there, true knowledge still flows. In all subsequent children, those who practice it will gather themselves into the shape of their return..." XI, The Split Chrysalis: The God of Origin, appeared in Chapter 100, mentioned by Fabian, the Lord of Witnesses that led to the Lorraine Distortion Incident. The phase he was in charge of was "Cocoon", and his identity was Okokang, the president of the Last Alchemist Association. This promotion led to the emergence of the Immortality Secret Cult and the Harmony School. At that time, some alchemists claimed that 'the holy spring is dead' and that the 'split chrysalis' is his new self. They used living people as ritual vessels and ate 'the flesh and blood of chrysalis and eggs' in collective rituals to express their respect, believing that in this way they could obtain 'amorphous immortality'. According to the speculation of command authority, if it is the Lord of Witness, the aspect of control is "Key". The pollution is suspected to encourage the protagonist to become a scribe and tamper with all the keys on the climbing path to scribe progress (so what will happen? Lose yourself? The protagonist is using his own symphony to contend with its pollution XIII, the fountain in the painting: one of the witnesses of the seven sources of artifacts, appears in Chapter 107, it is said that there is a sacred object in the legend of the alchemist, this mythical item It is believed to come from the heights of Huita, the origin and essence of all elements in nature, the key to the ultimate transformation of life, and the limit and purpose of all things. According to the description of the elixir master Cindia, if it is the Lord of Witness, the possible phases are "Key", "Cocoon" and "Yan". The pollution of the Spring in the Painting starts from the eyes. People who are polluted will desperately describe, describe, appreciate and worship the image of the "Fountain in the Painting". They begin to seek those colors that are normal to them, and will collect so-called "beautiful pigments" or "artistically accomplished" paintings. Those who know will also strive to find and open the "Gate of Seven Lights" that is closely connected with Him Follow the guidance of pollution, participate in or create an unknown and ancient sacrifice, undergo violent changes and dissolution in pain and joy, and finally transform into colorful pigments (from Volume 2, 3 8-48 Information from the Secret Door Adventure) Image: The garden-style vegetation background is as rigid as a picture frame, with a handful of weird-colored springs floating in the middle. The containers that make up it are stacked like arteries, and The shape of the atrium and ventricle is formed at the top. As the finger zooms in on the photo, the magnificent colors and mechanisms are endlessly fractal, bringing a strong sense of visual dizziness (Volume 3, Picture 4) Containment Method. It turns into a photo on the protagonist's mobile phone. One of the suspected behind-the-scenes bosses (I don't know if it counts as the Lord of Witnesses? I feel like Pogorelic may also be the villain). Ever since the protagonist saw his symbol, everything seemed to be under his gaze and control, (a bit annoying). XV, Hidden Lamp, one of the seven masters of source witness, with the aspect of "Desolation", its pollution is characterized by the chaotic and secret folding of time and space, the ghost train incident, and the emergence of the small town of Vatznai. Related, it is currently in Qiong's hands XVI, Blade, one of the seven masters of source witness, from the beginning of Chapter 76 of Volume 2, with the control phase of "Jin", Special Inspector Pograi. The authority of the source god that Rich contains seems to be cutting, both physical and conceptual. Image, (Volume 2, 119) A long and narrow scimitar, with a golden handle, a black sheath, and a cyan ribbon as a thread. The blade has the same cyan storm pattern. There is an extremely dangerous and unstable atmosphere in this scimitar, but it seems to be wrapped in something like oil or electric current. "The skills of destruction, oppression and strife... The ancestors polished the prisms, the knights wielded their swords, and the soldiers fired bullets, all contain several links that pay tribute to "Jhin", and all the skills will be used in the "chaos" of the secret realm. "Heaven Rank" gathers into some kind of observable image." Related to Shifting Secret Realm Chaos Heaven Rank: XVIII, Wolf Words, from the beginning of Chapter 76 of Volume 2, The God of Anonymous Origin, whose ruling aspect is "Jin", is suspected to be seen in the strange hall of the underground building "The Word of Infinite Fury " There is another one, born in Anonymous Origin, who was seen in the hall full of question marks, that is, the "Word of Infinite Fury" , His angry fire once burned the skin of the world to peeling off and blistering. Although it has been disqualified, people can still see it from certain processes, such as conquering and being conquered, bullying and being bullied, rebelling and being rebelled, destroying and being destroyed..." "The Lord of Witnesses, "Wolf Words", people will always recite words about Him throughout their lives. Reciting them will not bring blessings." XIX, disaster, one of the seven masters of witness, in charge of The phase is "Yan" Image, Volume 2, Chapter 117: In the dazzling light from the branches above, a huge thing with a strange shape, like a crown, gradually descends. Its concrete form presents a strange beauty. The texture is like a mirror-like cloud, like a cloud-like mirror. The smoke that makes up the cloud is not solidified, but floats away in the surrounding space. Every mirror and every different angle reflects the events and causes and effects. The revelations, some lasting, some gradually distorted, all mirrors not observed by the current self are a premature fate. Containment method: "The name of the god 'Calamity' may not be originally like this. He symbolizes probability, cause and effect, and connection, but after going crazy, all the supplicants can observe are scenes of bad luck, bad omens, and disasters... The use of 'blade' can cut off their conceptual connections and temporarily separate their own destiny." The contamination was then dispersed and wrapped with the 'veil of night' and placed on the altar, thus temporarily dragging it into the secret realm of migration, the 'Chaotic Sky Level', and handing it over to me for processing..." The associated ritual weapon is Roy's Mirror of Transfiguration. XX, Incinerator, is one of the seven witnesses of the source of instruments. The "Candle" controlled by the "Incinerator" is reflected in the flames and smoke everywhere. Every light and shadow contains the enlightenment of mysticism. Some of them are too vague or narrow, some are full of dangerous errors and paradoxes, and some are excellent angles to observe Huita. XXI, Qingkou Tree, the God of the World, controls the aspect. For "Yan", the symbol may be the curve of the female body and the extending branches. Related secrets: "He is wrapped in candied fruit, He is sweet and fat, and He is eternally alive... Our worshipers dissolve the withered and accommodate." New life, writing puzzles on berries and grains, laying and maintaining spells of fertilizers and acorns, and the pace and echo of the earth is one of the solutions. The following is the secret teaching of metaphorical fertility..." In Chapter 184 of Volume 2, when the Special Patrol Office tried to contain the spring in the painting, it used its associated ritual tool "Leaves of the Qingkou Tree" Can you believe that the number of words has reached the upper limit? How many Lords of Witnesses are there 😰
Scheming female characters have always been disliked. For example, Roy, Roy, and Roy are marginal female supporting characters. It's okay, but if she is promoted to the heroine in the future. . . . It's unimaginable
I am really grateful to the author for this book. In my previous life, I had never understood classical music, and I had never personally experienced the power of music to move people's hearts. In fact, for a long time, even if a piece of classical music was played in front of me, I couldn't understand what it was conveying, let alone how it touched my soul. But through the description of the performances of those symphonies and concertos in this novel, the analysis of the content of each movement, and the introduction of the composer's creative process and composition theory, I feel that I can appreciate the beauty of classical music a little bit. At the same time, I can't help but wonder how my past life went without music. In my previous life, music was just a stranger to me. It didn't know me, and I didn't know it either. Others say I have fungus, but I don't think it's a big deal, but now I really feel a bit regretful. But fortunately, a person like me who is not favored by music can gradually appreciate the beauty of music by reading this book. I was lucky enough to come across this book, and it saved me. This alone is enough to make me extremely grateful. I would like to say one more thing, probably when I saw the part where the children of civilians formed a youth orchestra, and the author said through the characters' mouths that "music is human instinct, and everyone has the right to appreciate music," I was really excited and confused. I am excited because even for a person like me, God may have given me the right to appreciate music; I am confused because am I really qualified to appreciate music? It's such a contradictory and complicated mood. Finally, I would like to say some words of encouragement to the author. Although there are many people who have given the author great support in various ways, I am the only one who deserves it haha. What I want to say is that maybe the author feels that his book's performance is average, but it has redeemed people like me and given people like me musical enlightenment. From this perspective, it can be said to be of immeasurable merit.
Let me tell you a problem The book is generally written well, but the protagonist lacks empathy for the people at the bottom. You want players to see an artist who can understand it, but an artist, let alone an artist with personal power, has no reaction in the face of naked cannibalism in a capitalist factory, and runs away the next day as if he has not seen anything. How can people like such a character?
I rarely write book reviews, but this book is really great. The brand-new world view, the wonderful combat system, the rigorous knowledge of music theory, and the author's delicate writing style are all attractive features of this book. The world view of this book was born out of the Esoteric Cult simulator, integrating the evolution history of Western music, and condensing a unique charm. Different from ordinary cool novels, this book has a clear main line, all the characters have online IQs, and different characters have their own unique charm. It is one of the rare works that I like very much. Many people read this book expecting to see the protagonist slap someone in the face and play popular music. Then they will undoubtedly be disappointed because they do not understand the core of the book. Naturally, this book also has a lot of "enjoyable" elements, but it is not the dry, superficial, and mind-setting kind of ordinary works, but the battle of wits between the characters, fully displaying the charm of classical music, and the ultimate climax that comes naturally and shocks the characters and readers. Of course, there will be some dissuading points in the early stages of this book, mainly in the explanation of the world view and the boring explanation of music theory. This will naturally dissuade readers who read for the purpose of relaxation and pleasure. Therefore, I think this book is one of the rare online works that is suitable for slow reading. And when you truly understand this worldview and regard it as an opportunity to understand classical music, you will discover the unique charm of this book. In addition, this book has a unique feature, that is, it will have a different charm when used together with music. Reading the text alone and the author's description will give readers a noble feeling about it, but I feel that this person's feeling is still not in place. Only by eating it with music can you truly understand the author's intention, resonate with the characters in the book, and appreciate the true charm of classical music. The playlist author has already compiled it, and you can watch and listen to it by launching NetEase Cloud in the background. In the end, I think this book, as the first work of a new writer, is so wonderful that it is rare in the whole starting point. As a reader who joined in the middle, I also saw the author's self-deprecating "fuck in the street" at the end of the volume. I am glad that the author can persevere, and I hope that the author can continue to persevere. This is a very good work, and I hope more readers can see it.
A cursory analysis of Volume 6 (massive spoilers)
I have read the sixth volume over and over again for the fourth time. I will write down briefly what I understand so far. I also welcome the corrections from all the experts. 1. About the world view and time travel: This world originated from the "great achievement" designed by the 0th history: Mithraism "entered, possessed and even surpassed the aura", that is, the plan of establishing a road with the triangle as the pillar to connect the aura and the waking world. The disenchantment ritual was completed once in the 0th history. In addition to the seven mass source gods (original birth, with the intention of destroying the gathering point), the reset world also gave birth to the seven lost source gods (the product of the original disintegration and the splitting of the gathering point). The transformation and disputes between the two constitute the secret history, which also caused the two timelines to be completely staggered, and countless multiple histories appeared at the same time. After the gathering point collapsed, it still emitted power through the glow. Abnormal areas and worms appeared in this timeline, "creating a bunch of more chaotic and collapsed things." About time travel: After the world is restarted, all mortal creatures will be reset. In order to avoid this erasure, some people in History 0 have traveled to the current timeline through two channels: keys (Guido D'Alezzo, Bach, Fan Ning) and shell species (Scriabin, Fan Chenxun). 2. Positions of all parties and chess-playing behavior in the first five volumes: There are approximately the following forces: (1) Originalism: Bach and the Holy Sun Church came with the help of Key No. 0 "Theme of God" Intent: The Immortal Fire (Holy Father) - The Endless Fugue (Holy Son) - Returning to the old days of HOS [with its pendant Fan Ning] (Holy Spirit) Trinity, reset the whole world and return to the 0th history Main Action: Inducing Fan Ning to reproduce music and exert his old power (turn into a pendant) (2) The Disenchantment Sect:Guido Dallezzo arrived with the help of Key No. 1 "Hammer of the Masterless" Intent: "Reunite the time sequence" and recreate the disenchantment ritual. Guido D'Alezzo escapes the curse (that he can only exist briefly in mummy form?) Main Action: Share the Disenchantment Ceremony with the Special Patrol Office (3) Snake Sect:① Scriabin intended to use the No. 1 Key "Apocalypse Secret Realm" to appear, but was intercepted by Fan Chenxun and could only use the worm to descend. ②Julian Coselli, a saint of the Lingyin Order in the original history, the Russian Duke who sponsored Scriabin in the 0th history. Intent: "Sunset and moonrise". The noon moon replaces the fire that does not fall, and is placed in the home together with the mantra and the old sun. Main actions: Sit back and watch Fan Ning recreate music and exert the power of the past; guide Fan Ning to get acquainted with Sheeran and Qiong, and piece together the key that was divided by KI. (4) Fanning and Aboriginal Pogorelic: Intent: To maintain the original emphasis on history and relative order. Main Action: Pogorelic regards his summit as a solution, using elitist control to solve the problem of a great collapse of order. KI divided the "Secret Realm of Apocalypse". Father Fan, who came through the shell species, intercepted the No. 1 Key with the help of Endless Fugue and guided Fan Ning to be born. (People born through shell species seem to be able to switch between multiple histories) 3. Four parallel histories in this volume: In the multiple histories, there is still a confrontation between the Special Inspection Office and Fan Ning on the surface. Therefore, in each history, the behavior of the Special Inspection Office will be explained first, and then the secret history and games revealed will be discussed. Fanning is a consistent interloper, acting according to his own moral and artistic ideals, only to be exploited and abandoned by all parties in the game again and again, and finally smash the chessboard. Modern: Andante Movement[Chapter 13-21; 33-36; 48-51; 61-63; 67-70] The Special Inspection Office covered up crimes and implemented industry controls. Fan Ning goes against his control in order to see the stars (a pursuit of his own will). In 1965, the helminthologist KI tried to terminate the Soviet Union's research on "The Secret Realm of the Apocalypse". After being rejected, he divided the score into two parts: the text "The Flute of the East" and the music "The Magic Horn of the Boy". In 2015, the Snake Sect attempted to perform the "Secret Realm of the Apocalypse" on R Peak to complete its great achievements, but was killed and the entire army was annihilated. Joan inherited KI's will to destroy the score of "Secret Realm of Apocalypse", but Fan Ning and Roy merged to form "Secret Realm of Apocalypse"; the two fulfilled their commission and burned it, which also satisfied Mr. F's requirement to completely sacrifice all works of art in the new era. (Should F be considered both a person in the new calendar and a person in the 0th history?) Roy threw himself into the abyss. Middle Ages: First Movement[22-27; 37-41; 52-55; 64-66; 70-71] Pogorelic instituted cultural control, killing artists and burning works. Out of artistic conscience, Fanning intends to overturn the evaluation system and save art. Fanning followed Guido D'Alezo's instructions, and with the help of Vincent, changed the torch in the ceremony to the ownerless hammer, and arranged for Joan to take over Guida D'Alezo's power and add weight. But Guido D'Alezo had reservations. Fanning's modified ritual went out of control and caused a fire. The monastery turned into a lake, and Fanning and Sheeran died in the water together. Corresponding to the historical version of Guido Dallezo's attempt to recreate the ritual of disenchantment, the artwork was a sacrifice. Guido D'Alezo is about to escape, but Bogo changes the core from the old days to the blade at the suggestion of Mr. Wax, and the Disenchantment Faction plan completely fails. Enlightenment Period: Scherzo Movement[28-31; 42-45; 56-60; 73-74; 81-82] Pogorelic embezzled the Sheeran family's collection, and in the name of charity, carried out illegal acquisitions, smuggling, and money laundering through auction houses. He also led the judgment of art works and passed them off as genuine. Scriabin distorted ideas of beauty. Out of conscience, Fanning helped reporter Roy expose Pogorelic's criminal record. The flute (Flute of the East) given to Fanning by Boles, an orphan in the workhouse, is combined with the "Youth's Magic Horn" passed down by Sheeran's family (i. E. Scriabin's "Secrets of the Apocalypse"), guiding the three to eliminate Pogorelich by destroying seven "phantoms". The hammer-wielder Sheeran and the restorer Fan Ning exchanged through the "abandoned door", Fan Ning smashed the illusion, and Pogorelic and the venue gradually disappeared from the original history; Sheeran issued a declaration, and Roy who provided evidence was killed successively. Pogorelic mocked Fanning for destroying the old order rather than maintaining this toxic order. The justice he expected did not come. The first half of the background corresponds to the story of the special inspection department's strict monitoring of the operation of Turner Art Hall and chain theaters in this chapter's history, and the promotion of artists from the special inspection department such as Lasus. Does the latter mean that the destruction of other source gods is what Bogorelic is happy to see, and a strong enough opponent can help him rise higher, but the "old days" are not? Fourth Movement: Night Falls [32; 46-47; 61.5; 63.5; 67.5; 71.5-73.5; 75-87] Fanning's first hammer attempt against Pogorelic destroyed the "Blade". But it happened to meet the conditions of the resistance ceremony, and Pogorelic was promoted higher; Mr. F replaced Mr. Wax, turned the resistance ceremony into a disenchantment ceremony, and used the avant-garde "Crescent Moon" as a sacrifice to attract the "Noon Moon" to replace the Unfallen Fire. The second hammer hit three keys, trying to destroy the ritual by destroying the remains of the God of Origin in the ritual (progress 6/7, only the "old days" remain); But Mr. F pointed out that the source gods other than "Old Days" are just the imagination of the third history. They are similar in nature to the phantoms, and destroying the remains will have no impact on the ceremony. The ceremonial hammer breaks. The third hammer blow destroyed the "old days". The Gate of Zhaoyue and above in the Hui Tower were severely damaged, and the plans of the Original Purpose Faction and the Snake Faction were ruined. Multiple time and space all collapsed, and the world fell into chaos but was not reset. 4. The part I didn't understand (including some details specifically mentioned in Orange's speech): What does the ritual performed in History 0 look like, and what is the curse on Guido D'Alezo? How did Mr. Wax KI become Mr. F? What does the "abandoned door" in Chapter 59 refer to? And how Sheeran's Sol ruby became poison in the hands of Roy in the modern world; what does the appearance of each swing in Vincent's paintings symbolize.
A very good book, except...
The story is very good, but the girl named Qiong is a bit distracting. In a world where all those who understand the extraordinary need to be extremely careful to survive, a pure natural girl can act recklessly and jump to the present. It is simply not the same style as the main atmosphere of this world. It is like a two-dimensional cute girl wandering into the depressive and distorted three-dimensional world. It is full of a sense of violation. This kind of character who is incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere and wants the protagonist to take the blame when something goes wrong reminds me of the businessman Roman in The Amber Sword. This is also a very controversial character. Even the relatively naive Miss Justice in Lord of Mysteries does not have this style of dealing with things. Resources that are misplaced are garbage. Innocent and lively characters are not a problem, but when placed in the environment of this book, they are somewhat like rat shit... I do not mean to teach the author how to write a book. I am just giving feedback from the perspective of personal reading experience. I hope the author can consider it. Finally, I wish the author better and better as he writes more. The setting and plot of this book are very interesting, and the follow-up development is worth looking forward to.
The pictures I saw earlier seem to match well
The story is very ingenious, and the conception, writing, and music-related professional knowledge all show the skill and ingenuity At present, it seems to be of a very high standard, and the elements are combined very cleverly. It is not a rough stitching, but has the author's own ingenuity in it. The narrative advances layer by layer with ups and downs but not dragging, the characters are full-bodied, and there are almost no major shortcomings, all are advantages There are very few books that write about classical music, and even fewer that write well I opened this book at 11:30 last night and followed it until five in the morning. Yes, it's true that I couldn't sleep all night. I listened to the music mentioned in the book again while reading. Forgive me for staying up late and being dizzy. I can only comment in short sentences. My monthly vote has been given. Come on, I can vote for at least two more before the end of the month. But I hope to maintain the standard and not to write poorly for the sake of word count. Exquisite booking Summary: Highly recommended by friends who like Cthulhu elements and music. I can't say how amazing or refreshing it is, but at least it is a standard work. It is a thoughtful work that does not waste time Highly recommended
