Books I’ve Bought in Full (1)
These are novels I fully purchased on Qidian and enjoyed. I also rate each book after finishing it, out of 10. The ratings are fairly subjective. 1. I only leave a review after finishing a book. 2. A book getting a lower rating than another doesn't necessarily mean it's worse. I use different standards, or focus on different things, for each book, so the ratings aren't directly comparable. I take the genre and my overall reading experience into account. 3. Everything I write about a book reflect

In this context, it refers to fiction that reinvents Eastern mythology or blends it with other kinds of fantasy. High martial arts is a newer subgenre of fantasy. It f

Review of "Glitch Utopia": One small step for Foxtail, one giant leap for cyberpsychosis
First of all, I would like to congratulate "Glitch Utopia" for being successfully completed with 8 million words after eight hours of serialization. This is another masterpiece of the epilepsy series by Foxtail after "The Strange One", and it is also an immortal milestone in the history of cyberpsychosis. Looking at the full text, "Glitch Utopia" continues Huwei's consistent outline style, with high-energy brain-burning and constant twists and turns, which is particularly difficult in the trend of online articles where water word count is the mainstream. American five-star general MacArthur once said: If someone else had written this novel, he could have written it into 20 million words! This is both a recognition of Foxtail's minimalist writing style and a criticism of current hydrophilic literature. In this era of impetuous people, Huwei is able to calm down and create a concise, concise and refined novel, which reflects his character as a great writer. The novel itself is easy to read, has no IQ threshold, and can be used by people with sensitive skin, greatly expanding the readership. There are 4 million typos among the 8 million words, which further reflects Foxtail's approachability. He does not pretend to be a great writer, and uses the cultural level of primary school students and kindergarten characters to create a closer distance with readers. It has a simple and unpretentious classical beauty. Let us return to the content of "Glitch Utopia". This novel does not blindly pile up the protagonist's abilities, nor does it use inferior face-slapping pretense to highlight the protagonist's strength. Instead, it digs into the protagonist's heart from a deeper level. In the high-tech cyber world, the protagonist Jack Sun cannot bear the pressure of life and uploads his consciousness to the virtual data space of the neural network in his brain. At first glance, the data world has nothing to worry about, no need to get sick, and only almost zero-cost enjoyment. It is like a paradise on earth. Sun Jack once lost himself in the AI's care and consideration, and even performed data fusion with his AI girlfriend Wang Ruth, created a new folder in his consciousness, and became pregnant with the little AI Sun Sisi, a hybrid of human consciousness and AI. However, virtual happiness does not last long. Due to the brain disease, Jack Sun's dream was shattered. His brain nerve interface had poor contact, and the data world often had high pin disconnections. Under the influence of the disease, he couldn't help but re-examine everything he owned: Am I really Jack Sun? Or is it another one encoded by 0s and 1s, just imitating Sun Jack's digital life? Is the real Jack Sun the me who lives happily in the data world, or the me who counts parts in a garbage bin in the real world? The intersection of reality and data shocked Sun Jack's spirit time and time again: the AI girlfriend Wang Ruth who gently caressed his cheek closed her eyes and then opened her eyes and turned into a burly man holding his neck to demand debt; Sun Jack was completely broken. He was tampering with network cables in the real world and chewing garbage in the cyber world. He abandoned the care of his AI girlfriend Wang Ruth like a shoe, and he ignored the tears of his AI daughter Sun SiSi. After reading this, every reader will involuntarily ask his or her heart: Who am I? Who am I? High technology can cure terminal illnesses, but how can cyberpsychosis be cured? The climax of the story comes at this moment: just when Sun Jack was tortured by the intersection of reality and virtuality and became delirious, he decided to abandon everything he owned in the data world, format his AI girlfriend with his own hands, and uninstall the neural network system in his brain. His daughter Silicon suddenly took over Sun Jack's brain-computer interface and invaded the world's data archives. She reset the neural interface for Sun Jack and restored his electronic identity; at the cost of being washed away by the huge data flow and losing himself. Close the mobile phone screen and return to reality. Readers already understand: love is the only good medicine to cure cyberpsychosis. Reading to the end of the book, the delicious plot and meticulous crazy logic once again conquered all readers. Foxtail uses this eight-million-word masterpiece to prove to everyone that he is still not recovered. The pen of the supreme Foxtail returns to his loyal mental hospital today. This is a small step for Foxtail on the road to platinum, but it is a big step for a mental patient to explore the cyber world. As long as Foxtail clings to the keyboard, the glory of cyberpsychosis will never fade!
Realizing the Dream of Metropolis - Confessions of a Bastard
Please note before viewing: This article is purely fictitious and any similarities are not coincidental. Please feel free to watch it, if readers have problems with real life or three views because of this fan article. The author assumes no responsibility whatsoever. My name is Ye Chen, my family, who knows. I don't know why, but my mother gave me a name like a great emperor. Maybe it's because of the blessing of this name that I understand many things very clearly. However, in this big city, I am just a small ordinary person. A useless bastard. Now I am living alone. If I think about it carefully, it must have been several thousand years since my parents died. Their faces were diluted bit by bit in the daily dose of alcohol and medicine, and became increasingly blurry, and they could no longer be seen clearly. But I don't feel alone. Because I know they are always with me. Now that I think about it, I really made the right decision. Although the tea made from the ashes is not delicious, it is full of bone residue and various metal fragments. But it doesn't matter. My throat, stomach and other digestive systems have already undergone a series of modifications to be able to digest these. Only in the end, I was malnourished for a few days. Oh, these damn chips and bones. But it doesn't matter, our family of three is finally reunited forever. Me, my father, my mother. It's still as warm and harmonious as before. I told you early in the morning that I am a bastard. And a bastard must behave like a bastard. That is "living in the moment". Don't think about the past because your past is dead. There is no need to think about the future. How can a bastard have a future? All you have to do is live the moment. Go to tmd's past and future, just do it! How about that sentence: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles." There is a saying that a silicon grandson I met before sang it well: "Come~, be happy~". Hey, what a fucking genius. Hiss, but that Silicon Sun is calling? It seems... Jack Sun? I can't remember clearly. After all, you can't expect a bastard to accomplish anything. After all, there are so many palu, if I don't do it, there will be palu. Whether there is more of me in this world or less of me, it will still function in the same way, there is no difference. Oh, boys, stand at attention and listen. Next, I am going to tell you the biggest secret in my life, which is how to be a bastard and a social worm! Five things, you must have five things: sex, drugs, alcohol, what else? Hiss, I forgot about it later and didn't mention it. Hey, that's pretty damn cool, isn't it? First: Sex is women. Woman, woman. Believe me, this kind of thing is just for fun, it's really not worth the effort. I think back then, I fell in love with a female doll, the one who looked tender and supple, tsk tsk tsk, I can only understand it but cannot express it in words. But, do you fucking know that? After I used the excuse that my Kunkun was a fucker to trick her into going home, I almost went to bed and took off my pants, only to realize that it was actually a man! She, no, he, he is actually a tomboy! ! ! Brother, you smell so good. Hey hey hey. Alas, speaking of it, it's my fault that I was really hungry at that time. Although I managed to come out in the end, thanks to his relatively loose anus, it was a big shock to my weak mind at the time. So, really, don't put too much effort into things like women, just go whoring. (Huh? Something seems to be wrong? Forget it, never mind.) You covet his body, but he only cares about your property, and saying that he likes you every day doesn't mean that I will like you in the future. It's not worth it, it's not worth it. Second: Medicine. When you don't have a woman, choose medicine. Take some medicine before and after meals, and you will be as happy as a living god. (Metropolitan values, please do not substitute them into reality) The feeling of flying into the sky is so refreshing, as if your whole body is split into several parts and they are going up Spring Mountain separately. It is in line with the mental state of contemporary young people. That feeling of everything gushing out at the last moment, trust me, you'll catch it. Third: Alcohol. Alcohol is the ancient Greek god responsible for numbing the self. Indeed, it never tastes good, but no matter how bitter it is, how bitter is it to live the ups and downs of life? Moreover, only during those times when I was drunk could I truly own my life and truly control my own destiny. Instead of being the items of those companies, waiting for a price. And when all the value in you is drained, it will be the day you die. Furthermore, do you think that after the transformation, I will be drunk by a mere liquor? It's never the wine that makes me drunk, it's my heart. To die from alcohol is to be drunk, to be born from alcohol is to be sober. Live in the morning, die in the evening. And here I am, between life and death, going to see the past that is like smoke, to see the people who should not be remembered, and the feelings that should be forgotten. Oh, women, they are not good things... I clearly said... At the beginning, but in the end... Vomit... The so-called drunken life, dreaming and death, is nothing more than that... Drinking is the cause of drunkenness, drunkenness is the cause of dreams, dreams are the cause of waking up, and waking up is the cause of drinking again. If it is reversed, it will be the result. Above cause and effect, there is reincarnation. Everything in the world is in reincarnation, and there is no way to escape or get away. I am not your cause, and you are not my effect. Some feelings may not be clear in a lifetime. However, I am still a little unwilling... It was clearly agreed, but in the end it was fate or not... Ugh... If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place... Fourth: Hey, bro, you have already paid me three prostitutes for nothing, you can't continue to do it for free, hurry up and give me 50@ coins to eat Crazy Thursday, and listen to me tell you in detail. Fifth: Well, what is the fifth point? Oh, this damn alcohol is so bad. Well... Let me think about it, right! The fifth personality, activate! Hahaha! Stop being so gloomy, be happy, remember to keep the corners of your mouth raised, remember, life is already very difficult, why do you have to be gloomy and ask for trouble. You should always have some fun or something, and think about things worth being happy about. Only in this way will you not jump off a building on a whim. Of course, if you really want to jump, remember to ask me to watch. By the way, choose a higher place to perform a backflip or something. This fun is enough to keep me entertained for a few days, hahaha. Bro, are you a loser? How to survive as a useless person in this big city. Ha ha ha ha. Well, welcome to Metropolis. Here, some are happy and some are angry; some are laughing and some are mourning; some are leaving and some are coming; some are dying and some are living. It is the best city, it is the worst city; it is the city of wisdom, it is the city of foolishness; it is the city of faith, it is the city of doubt; it is the season of light, it is the season of darkness; it is the spring of hope, it is the winter of despair; we have everything before us, we have nothing before us; we are going straight to heaven, we are going straight to hell. I wish you a happy time and a happy death! Bro!
Jack Sun: Welcome to Metropolis!
Hearing that another thing had dropped from the garbage dump, Jack Sun and Tapai rushed there immediately and saw a man using magic and wearing strange clothes. For a moment, Jack Sun seemed to have been possessed by a magic spell and tried his best to save him. In fact, it was Jack Sun who saw him thinking about him, so he took him home and changed his clothes. After contacting him, Jack Sun knew that this person was called Li Huowang. After arriving home, Li Huowang said: "Is this... The 21st century, or..." Hearing this, Jack Sun smiled and said: "The 21st century? That was the old almanac a thousand years ago. Now this is the world of the new era. " Seeing that he didn't react for a while, Jack Sun said: "In the middle of the 21st century, intelligent AI launched a war, commonly known as the omnic crisis. The war in the 25th century ended, and humans re-established order in the 29th century. If we don't count the situation at this time, we should be living in the cyber era of the 31st century. " Li Huowang tried his best to abandon his own thinking and use the thinking of future generations. Go to connect these things, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Huowang said: "So this is the earth?" Sun Jack smiled and said: "Maybe. After all, I have lost my memory." Li Huowang said oh at first, and then realized something and asked: "Your amnesia is..." Sun Jack said: "I am also from the 21st century, but when I woke up, I had already appeared. Here, the memory has been lost." Li Huowang groaned and looked at Sun Jack and said, "What are these things on your body?" Sun Jack looked at himself and said, "Oh, these are all changed after battles. You will be like this in the future." Li Huowang's expression changed instantly when he heard this, but he soon thought that he seemed to have acquiesced in everything in that world. Then Jack Sun stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The main reason why human beings can survive for a long time is to learn to survive." In this regard, Li Huowang, who had just thought about his ascent in another world, nodded in acquiescence. Then Jack Sun said: "Let's go, I will take you to replace some prosthetic limbs first, and I will pay for it. I will explain this to you by the way." Li Huowang heard this and said: "I am very healthy, why do I need to replace it?" Sun Jack turned around and smiled and said, "Because pure humans will be taken away for research." Li Huowang had no choice but to go out with him, and of course, he was followed by Ta Pai who had just been charging. As soon as he went out, he saw some advertising slogans. Li Huowang was shocked by them, while Sun Jack explained them to him happily. For example, this one #It's better to meet on a smooth journey! Diamond prosthetic limbs! The latest development! Only 99@! Welcome to buy! # Jack Sun pointed at the billboard and said: "Don't listen to its nonsense. If you install that thing, you will have to work for it for the rest of your life. Whoever installs a prosthetic limb for a serious person, wouldn't a robotic arm be awesome?!" Another example is this #Latest Research and Development! New baby! You can personalize XP! One only costs 9999@! # Jack Sun said that he couldn't support himself anymore, so who would want that thing? Then Jack Sun led him to an alley, knocked on the door and walked in, saying: "Hey! Bro! Give me brother something to change, just the set meal you recommended." After Li Huowang entered, Jack Sun said to the store manager: "Brother, just sign his name for the loan, and I will sign it for him." After a while, Li Huowang When he came out, Jack Sun tricked him into standing in front of the loan machine and took a photo. Then Jack patted his robotic arm and said, "bro! Welcome to the metropolis! Hahahaha!" After waiting for the loan, several people came out. Jack Sun asked him to go to the front to try the effect, while he walked with the Tower Pai. The Tower Pai beside him suddenly said: Jack Sun, you are just as annoying now as Song Liu was back then. Sun Jack looked at Li Huowang who was still confused and laughed and cursed: Get out! But soon, he knew that the result of not being generous would be to be stabbed in the back, just like when he tricked Song Liu.
Mid-Autumn Moon Lao Liu's Nightmare (4)
Continued from "Mid-Autumn Moon Lao Liu's Nightmare (Part 3) | [Track 3]" Dividing Line Sun Jack was stunned when he said this: "I came to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you! Knowing that you have no one to accompany you here, I even bought mooncakes from the tower!" He mentioned the mooncakes in his hand. "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Tapai danced and said Mid-Autumn blessings. Being immersed in his dream just now, he had not yet reacted. Now Lao Liu saw that Sun Jack and Ta Pai were avoiding each other reflexively. Without waiting for Lao Liu's consent, the two entered Lao Liu's room directly. "Huh? Sixth, why is there a weird smell in your room, a fishy smell, it just... Feels like the smell of human flesh." After thinking for a long time, Jack Sun finally thought of a suitable thing. Hearing these words, Lao Liu's face suddenly turned pale. Cold sweat began to ooze from the skin on his forehead. "No way, no way..." He was thinking something secretly in his heart. "Hey Lao Liu, you are secretly eating mooncakes alone at home! Why don't you call us!" The sharp-eyed Tapai saw the mooncakes Lao Liu had just cut at a glance. Just as he was about to step forward and take it in his mouth to taste it, he heard Jack Sun interrupt beside him: "Wait! You... Mooncakes... Couldn't you have bought them at the store next to Club 69?" "How did you know!?" Once Jack Sun told him exactly where he bought his mooncakes, he even felt that Jack Sun was really looking at him all the time! "Damn! You really bought it in that store!" As he spoke, Jack Sun felt like he was about to burst out. I felt that my entire stomach was tumbling and objecting. "What's wrong?" Lao Liu was confused, not knowing what was going on, "There's something wrong with his mooncakes?" "Ou, Tapai, throw away those two mooncakes!" After Tapai heard which mooncakes came from, it was like seeing the god of plague, lest he be infected. "No! That's my monthly salary!" The words came to his throat, but he didn't say them out. From the performance of Jack Sun and Tapai, it is not difficult to see that there is a big problem with mooncakes. "I didn't expect you to be such a dick!" Song 6PUS became anxious, tell me! You just threw away my monthly salary of D, and you told me why! Seeing that Lao Liu was anxious, he did not show off, "Didn't you smell a strange smell in your room?" Lao Liu shook his head in confusion, it should be... No, right? Maybe it's because you have lived here for a long time? Can't feel it? "It's the mooncake shop next to Club 69. He... The meat-filled mooncakes he makes are made from people meat! Do you understand?" Thinking of the situation at his house, Sun Jack felt like vomiting all over. "You, how do you know?" Lao Liu still didn't believe it. "If I hadn't happened to pass by there this morning, I probably would never have known it, but that's what I saw with my own eyes this morning! "You don't know how I felt at that time, the hairs all over my body stood up! " After listening to Sun Jack's explanation, Lao Liu's little face that had finally recovered a bit of Dongrun turned pale again. "Fortunately... Fortunately, I haven't eaten that thing yet. Just thinking about it makes me a little sick. " "So, I traveled a little further and bypassed several stores before buying mooncakes. In view of what happened, I didn't dare to buy meat-filled mooncakes again. If you ask me, it's better for us to eat some vegetarian ones. This is much cheaper than those so-called meat-filled ones. You see, I brought so much and didn't have to share it. It's definitely enough to eat! " While talking, he took out a piece of mooncake from his bag and gave it to Lao Liu. He handed one piece to Ta Pai, and he also took one and started to eat it deliciously. But Lao Liu looked at the mooncake in his hand and remained indifferent. Seeing Lao Liu holding the mooncake in his hand and not eating it, Sun Jack curiously took a bite: "You eat it, why don't you eat it? If you don't like it, give it to me! " He pretended to take the moon cake from Lao Liu's hand, but surprisingly, Lao Liu didn't stop him. Of course, Sun Jack wouldn't just take it, so he still put it in Lao Liu's hand. Finally, Lao Liu endured it. He couldn't help but ask: "You said, is it possible that there are some plain ones, but there are fewer of them, or other things are added..." Sun Jack and Tapai stopped their movements for an instant, feeling as if the pause button was pressed...
A new book has been released. Let me share my personal feelings about this book.
Two chapters have been published. The cyberpunk style is indeed niche. There are tributes between the lines but no one can see it. This chapter got a lot of likes from the readers who were talking about mentally handicapped jokes, but very few likes from the serious readers of popular science cyberpunk. For example, no one thought that the space station where the male protagonist was awake was a tribute to the Crystal Palace, and directly called the male protagonist an alien spaceship. When the robot started, the manufacturer, Tapai Technology, took a look at Zeta Technology's reskin, and the comment section was actually making jokes about Patrick Star. To be reasonable, it is better not to read the comment section while reading the book. The cyberpunk article instantly became a big-eyed article. Another important point is that Foxtail is very good at peeking into this chapter. When he finds that most people in this chapter do not understand the core of cyberpunk, then the direction of this book will be in the direction of catering to most readers, and then this book will no longer be cyberpunk. After all, the core of cyberpunk is tragic. The people you cherish may die in the next second, and in the end you will not even have a good death. And will the millions of book fans that Huwei has accumulated in Daogui really accept this style? In the end, this book may end up shining in a niche field, or it may cater to most readers and become no longer cyberpunk. I personally think that Huwei may be more inclined to the latter.
A few guesses about Tapai and Sun Jack
According to Hu Wei himself, the work "Glitch Utopia" was inspired by "Journey to the West". In other words, "Glitch Utopia" can also be called Cyber Journey to the West. First of all, we have to make sure that the source of inspiration for "Utopia" should not simply be the Journey to the West, one of the four famous books, but include the excellent second Journey to the West creations such as "The Legend of Wukong" and "Journey to the West". So in these second editions of Journey to the West, the roles of characters such as Zhu Bajie, White Dragon Horse, and Sha Seng are infinitely smaller than in the original work. In fact, there are only two people who occupy the protagonist positions, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong. Similarly, Faulty Utopia also has two protagonists occupying the main position, Tower Pai and Sun Jack. If we want to continue the in-depth analysis, then we must first determine who is "Sun Wukong" and who is "Tang Monk". Hu Wei is a cunning but not cunning author. He is a loyal supporter of Chekhov's Gun and has no habit of writing idle writing. Every description he makes is helpful to the plot. This is the aspect where he is not cunning. But his cunning point is that he will use all kinds of deceitful narratives to tear the truth apart. If you are not careful, you will be led in the wrong direction by his rhythm, so we have to eliminate interference before we can find the truth. Let me talk about the conclusion first. The Tower sect is "Sun Wukong", and Sun Jack's counterpart is "Tang Monk". Although Hu Wei gave the surname Jack Sun in a bad way and wrote "Great Sage" in the book, Jack Sun is not actually Sun Wukong. He is the golden cicada who keeps reincarnating. He is the Tang monk who asked to take the true scripture to save the world and himself. Whether it is Sun Jack's ideal, his loss of memory, or the previous "Jack Li" and "Sun Zi Zhan", these are all cyber narratives of his reincarnation. The Sun Wukong corresponding to the tower party is even more obvious. The Havoc in Heaven corresponding to the Omnic Crisis five hundred years ago, and the underlying logic of AI corresponding to the Tightening Curse... He also does not have the same ideals as Sun Jack. He just wants to take off the golden hoop and get freedom or relief.
About updates
This book has entered the final stage. Foxtail will work hard to write an ending that satisfies everyone. There may be some gaps in the text and the update may be a little slow. We apologize for this🌹
The next one is said to be in June ୧꒰•̀ᴗ•́꒱୨
_(:з∠)_
Foxtail's new book is still too influenced by the game
It's not a specific setting issue, but the logic of world construction In first-person open world games such as 2077 or GTA, the world is essentially static, and the player's influence on the world is mostly written in. The producers deliberately "ignore" the impact of many player actions on the world, because they have to consider the gameplay Take an issue that has been discussed a lot recently. JK's fight in the city center is not an ordinary fight. In games like 2077 or GTA, no matter what the players do, they will be beaten to death and sent to the hospital or caught and paid a fine. The worst they can do is read files. The "cost of crime" is infinitely low. You can even "fall stars" by hiding. But these are all trade-offs made for smooth gameplay for players, and this is unlikely to be the case for carriers such as novels. If you have played CRPGs such as Fallout or Baldur's Gate, or offline group running, you will realize that the "punishment" of similar behaviors in these games is "real" As for Foxtail's previous works, it can actually be explained that the protagonists of the two previous major works were in a world of low "technology" and low "order", and what the protagonist did Because it can cause no additional impact, because the level of technology and order does not allow it But if cyberpunk still plays like this, it is too inconsistent, because the cyberpunk world is naturally high-tech and high-order (the surface chaos is just a world of poor people)... If it is not a foreshadowing of "this world is actually a virtual game", then Foxtail should really think about it and stop being too game.
