Tales of a Wandering Bard

This book is a wonderful work among recent fantasy works. It feels like eating raw cucumbers with chocolate sauce, toasted steamed buns with coffee, steamed rice with tapenade, fried pepper meat with wine. In one sentence, it can be described as Jia Baoyu's version of Jiangliu'er, Journey to the West's version of Water Margin, Hamlet on Monte Cristo, Don Quixote in Jerusalem. This book also has the protagonist of this book, which is kind of like Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow or Xue Baochai in the snow. The strange beauty of the mountain temple, and the strange development of Zhu Bajie on his way to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. At the beginning, he was chased by the king of the daughter country, and the female demon Sister Mao rescued the son-in-law. I can't even guess the next plot. Is the writer going to write about Liu Xuande's declaration of surrender to Bona in Liangshan, or Gao Yanei's assassination of Cangzhou Road, or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms version of Yuan Shao burning seven armies, Yuan Shu's seven-star sword stabbing the king to death, or Wu Song drunkenly beating the dragon knight.

The verses are very out of date, but it is much better to have some translation accent than to write ancient verses in fantasy novels. After all, this is not a translation. There is an English comparison to make it very honest and elegant, but you are completely out of touch with it. If you bring it in and then directly create it for you, you will not understand it, right? It's so unbearable

A self-report of the poisonous points of this book 1. In the early stage, some settings of "Pillars of Eternity" were applied (a DND-like semi-real-time game produced by Obsidian, highly recommended), including various "localized" poems that everyone criticized. 2. The author I have read the most is Gu Long, so the early environment descriptions and combat descriptions are a bit more like martial arts than Western fantasy. 3. There is no system or time travel. This is not because I am arrogant, but because I haven't read a few time travel and system articles, so I don't know how to write them at all. 4. I have almost never read any online Western fantasy novels in China... I wanted to read Western fantasy for the first time simply because I like "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "The Witcher" (I may write an Ice and Fire fanfic in the next one) Anyway, I have received everyone's encouragement and approval, and I will also refer to criticisms and suggestions carefully. In any case, if there are readers, I will try my best to write it down. If you are looking forward to it, please vote for me!

I feel like the writing is messy. I don't know what the male protagonist is doing all day long when he's not seeking revenge on the queen. There's no main plot at all and he's just killing people all day long. How many times has the male protagonist been caught? No dog is that stupid.

I have been very busy recently (accounting reports and statistical ledgers are required at the end of the second quarter, and the Wenshan Conference is coming, making social workers miserable), so I have delayed the update. I will continue to update it in the future, so don't worry.

Do you feel that the pace is too fast? 🙂 There are only ten chapters in total, including rescuing the deep elves at the beginning, fighting, dad summoning the evil god, escaping and learning from the druids. The characters and plot seem to be a bit fleeting.

I haven't read this book yet, but it looks like a Bard fanfic similar to Pillars of Eternity. I also particularly like the translation of the Bard's Tune in Pillars of Eternity. It is simply a stroke of genius Twelve strong men stand in front of the bridge, not afraid of gods and kings. There is a robe in front of a short soldier, and the fallen warriors compete to be first At the bottom of the mound where the souls of heroes are buried, no one can pass by. Then for characters who use musical notes to cast spells, you can use these tunes to combine them into the tunes you need before the battle, providing buffs to your teammates and adding different debuffs to the opponent. At the same time, you can use your weapon normally to participate in the battle. When you obtain musical notes through playing, you can also release spells. While retaining the Western fantasy elements of Pillars of Eternity, the translation of these spells has a different kind of romance with Chinese characteristics. There is a weapon in Pillars of Eternity 2, the singing scimitar named Sasha. This sword can be said to be one of the equipment used by the chanter from the beginning to graduation. The description of this equipment is that the knife is both the bard's weapon and a tool for singing and dancing. This knife makes a beautiful sound when waved in the air. Witness the great legendary adventure of Sasha Serramen. Imagine a wonderful scene In a land of swords and magic, a poet holding a scimitar and dressed in gorgeous clothes recited various songs with a relaxed expression. He used the clever collision of two scimitars with the enemy's weapons as the accompaniment of the beautiful songs in his mouth, and used his martial arts that were more like tango than fighting to accompany the songs. From time to time, a few elegant or vulgar poems are mixed in to release gorgeous and powerful spells. The evil monster retreated in turmoil before the poet. The poet did not charge any extra fees from the villagers, but completed his beautiful performance that was interrupted by the monster. Under the words of gratitude and admiration from the villagers, the poet took a hat full of assorted copper coins and rode his pony to his next stop with a smile.

Why do I feel like the plot is so rushed It feels like I'm eating dry food, not even a drop of water.

It is well written, and each story can be read as an independent short story. But as a full-length novel, it would be more in line with market demand to add a little room for buffering breaks between stories ()

The plot develops too fast, there are no details, and the conflict turns are too bland. You can guess the direction of the next plot. Personally, I feel that the worst thing is that the overall reading does not have an epic feel. At the same time, it feels disconnected from the extremely powerful personal force.
