The author must have lost a lot of reading, right?
The first ghost was well written, and the Dao Immortal was pretty good, but you immediately opened a new ghost copy after Dao Immortal, which made people feel very tired. I personally think that at the end of Daoxian, the method you set up to fight against ghosts should be introduced. At present, I feel that it is using ghosts to control ghosts and rules to fight rules, but from what you wrote, it seems that you do not intend to do this. It even seems that they are not planning to set up this kind of mechanism to fight against ghosts, but to fight with organizations and manpower. But the ghosts you set cannot be resisted by humans at all. Have you completely solved any of the ghosts you have appeared so far? No. It's not enough to create an atmosphere of despair by repeatedly appearing ghosts. You have to suppress first and then improve. What I like about playing soul games is not being tortured, but the feeling of defeating the boss after being tortured.
Brief comment
How should I put it? My decision point for horror novels lies in the feeling of powerlessness. In my opinion, terror comes from the unknown, from the fact that you clearly know it is there, but you can never touch it or even solve it. In the starting point, I often browse the rankings and linger in various categories to find good ideas, but I almost never visit the horror and suspense category. I know clearly what is in this category. There is no real weirdness, real suspense, or real horror. If you replace the ghosts/tricks with other villains, aliens, and monsters, it can be established. If you turn around and change, it will become urban immortality and urban fantasy. Yesterday I had nothing to do, so I flipped through the homepage recommendations. What I didn't expect was that I actually found two good books here, and a new book from the arsenal. Unfortunately, his mentality was a bit broken. The other one is this book - The Age of Ghosts. When I saw the despair in the comments of many book friends on the book friend circle post on the details page, I thought I might give it a try. This book is very good at portraying the feeling of powerlessness from a broad perspective. Unfortunately, it may be for this reason that the horror atmosphere is slightly lacking. Fortunately, at the starting point, in addition to the ruthless scholar and the black fire, there is finally another author who specializes in portraying the powerlessness and despair of human beings in the face of unknown things. There are currently two types of ghosts: Bixian and Daoist. There is no big problem in dealing with Bixian. But Daoxian, this kind of handling method and the collapse of the situation made me have to worry about the advancement of the subsequent plot. ,;,,;,, Worth looking forward to! {"TopicId":"804728532092780544","TopicName":"Book Famine Terminator"}
Summary
First, there are many flaws in the logic of this book. The first point that appears is that the police did not investigate the surveillance after the murder. Later, Li Qiqi began to investigate, and the case of Wang Sanbei at the very beginning was not mentioned in the rest of the article. Then the spread of the influence of the "ghost" incident was obviously much slower. It was only after about forty chapters that there was a national meeting, and the "ghost" incident began to be known to various cities across the country. (I saw other comments saying that there were some problems with the police's handling of the incident. For example, Li Qiqi should have been sent directly to the hospital after self-inflicted harm) Of course, because this book is written from a broad perspective, the nationwide anti-ghost fight also involves various agencies, so I personally can accept that the logic is not consistent, not to mention that it can barely explain the discrepancy with reality in the context of an imaginary world. Second, the description of the despair is very good. It has been updated to Chapter 49. Facing Bixian, there is still no way to deal with it. We can only try to stop the increase of the transmission chain. There is no way to counter it. There are currently ten transmission chains, which means that ten people will die every three days. This is acceptable but not acceptable. Daoxian has been suppressed for now (looking at the comments, it seems that these pictures of Daoxian have been changed, it was too unsolvable before), and I don't know what the next development will be. Third, generally speaking, I think this novel is well written. Unlike other weird novels, humans can only rely on themselves from beginning to end, unless they use the power of ghosts in a way that ghosts cannot understand. It is interesting enough to persevere. (Representing only personal views) File 1 "Three Major Concepts of "Ghost"" 1. It must be clear that ghosts are much more powerful than humans, so they are always hostile. This kind of hostility does not come from hatred, nor is it an enemy, it is simply control. Because human beings are in the stage of being controlled, they are hostile. Never believe in the sudden kindness of the other party. This is only based on equality. Otherwise, even the kindness they feel is an insult to human beings. What's more, humans don't need goodwill, what they need is victory. 2. Human beings must resolutely resist the power of ghosts. Any method that humans can understand may be poison wrapped in candy. Killing human beings in the way they most desire is the most common form of coaxing. 3. Human beings must give up their weaknesses, which is human nature. —— ""· 1. 2. Human beings resolutely resist the power of ghosts. 3. Human beings must give up their humanity. PS: The second rule is that the power of ghosts refers to the ways that ghosts can understand, including borrowing ghosts to kill ghosts, etc. File 2 "Ghost" No. 1: Bixian Bixian originated from Tangcheng. The first victim was Wang Sanbei, the second victim was Li Qiqi, the third victim was the Wang Dynasty family and the xx family, and the fourth victim was Huang Duo and nine others. The mode of transmission is that humans infected with the Pen Fairy will sleepwalk into other people's rooms after three days, sit down on the indoor table and write on a piece of paper with a model pen that cannot write, and complete the infection of other people. In the first three levels, everyone in the room is infected by the Pen Fairy. Except for the first three levels, if there are more than one person who is about to be infected , Bixian will choose one of them to be infected. After the infected person completes three days of sleepwalking and infects other people, he will die three days later. Three days after death, black plum spots will appear on the body, feel itchy, and the face will change. Three days later, when he dies, his hands and feet will be elongated, and the people around him will be infected at the time of death. PS: Humans who are infected while sleepwalking will turn into a two-dimensional state when facing obstacles on the road. If I am touched by other humans in the two-dimensional state, other humans will become the same two-dimensional state and cannot return to the three-dimensional state. Other consequences are unknown. People indoors will also be infected if they escape before the sleepwalker enters the house. The infected person will not be interrupted while writing on an indoor table. Bixian currently has no solution. File 3 "Ghost" No. 2: Taoist Immortal Taoist Immortal originates from Shangcheng. Humans who practice "Taoist Immortal Sutra" for seven days will be "lucky" by Taoist Immortal. Their bodies will be squeezed into small wooden statues by Taoist Immortal and eaten, and then Taoist Immortal will make a replica. PS: During the week when humans practice the "Tao Immortal Sutra", they will be gradually cooked by the Tao Immortal, turning into handsome men and beautiful women, and their strength will also be enhanced. If a cultivator who has not completed a week of practice is killed, he will be eaten by the Taoist Immortal in advance and the clone will be released. The clones have unlimited self-healing ability (essentially rapid growth), can merge with each other and become stronger, and can kill another clone to obtain the spine sword. Taoist immortals will not spread as long as humans do not practice the "Taoist Immortal Sutra". The current suppression method for clones is "returning to the cage", that is, chopping the clones into human sticks and putting them in a square alloy box to suppress the normal growth of the hands, because the clones need to pinch the sword with their hands to attack, which is analogous to the three-inch golden foot.
Nmd, why is it written so well? It's great.
It's really well written, with this novel writing technique, this level of despair and helplessness, the protagonists are also group portraits, and they all have charisma, especially Lu Xin. I think this one is the most charismatic now. Even if he is in the abyss, he is still struggling. Although it is useless, it still makes me feel great.
The third ghost finally became exciting again. I had collected it when there were only a dozen or so, thinking it might become the next horror revival. As a result, the second copy inexplicably contained a lot of passionate feelings about family and country, which directly greatly weakened the terrifying atmosphere and weirdness of the ghost. Seriously, don't always think about exporting values in horror movies. Do you think any of these horror movies, Hell Cinema, and Mysterious Resurrection vigorously depict the feelings of family and country? You can simply write about this kind of thing, but describing it vigorously will not match the tone at all and will only destroy the terrifying atmosphere. I hope the author can write better and better. If the subsequent copy focuses on the feelings of family and country like the second copy, I may have a hard time reading it.
The description of the desperate atmosphere is better than that of Mysterious Resurrection, and the storytelling is even better than that of Mysterious Resurrection (not saying that Mysterious Resurrection is not good). The beginning of "Xiancao" is a pity that it was voted to the suspense channel.
Works that can give such a sense of despair are rare at the beginning. If it can still maintain a natural sense of despair after hundreds or thousands of chapters, I have a hunch that it will definitely be a god-level work.
Is it from the Mysterious Resurrection genre? Unlike other authors who directly write fan fiction and borrow the worldview, the author has his own ideas. The ghost here is not a ghost in the traditional sense, but more like a "trick", a program full of malice towards humans.
It can be said that what the author wrote has no logic at all. What is the logical motivation for Chen Xuan to be so inhumane? Compared to his ruthlessness, the strategies he gave for dealing with ghosts can be said to be extremely imbecile, mentally retarded and costing lives. The key point of the ghost apocalypse lies in the sense of despair and powerlessness caused by humans' best efforts being easily reversed by ghosts, rather than the incompetent humans being played like monkeys by ghosts. This third ghost, the performance of human beings can be said to be extremely imbecile. Victims have obviously come to report the crime, but the police still don't take it seriously. Is it possible that so many victims come to report that they have encountered ghosts every day, even if the police think everything is normal, they should think it is abnormal?
Ghosts such as Taoist Immortals and Pen Immortals in the book are destined to die when humans encounter them. In other ghost novels, even the unsolvable boss ghosts have a glimmer of hope and a way to escape. But in this book, as long as anyone opens the Taoist Immortals Sutra and reads it, death is the only thing waiting for him. The protagonist's concept in the book is that the power gap between ghosts and humans is too great, so he resists using the power of ghosts to fight against ghosts, similar to the mysterious resurrection. It even devotes a large space to describing the fairy trap to satirize the fate of those who credulously believe that ghosts will grant evolution. To be honest, I don't know how to smooth things over later. According to the author's logic, these ghosts are conscious. He used the protagonist's words to compare the relationship between humans and ghosts to humans and pigs, dogs and cats. However, humans are self-aware, so they castrate and breed animals for purpose. If ghosts are self-aware and have such power, it would be easy to destroy humans, and the protagonist's resistance would be a bit ridiculous. And these ghosts will evolve. In the latest chapter, Taoist immortals even come to the city, and the fake bodies created by Taoist immortals will merge with each other. If you follow this logic and write it down, there will be nothing more than the emergence of several different types of unsolvable ghosts and monsters that will kill humans in different ways.
The police and soldiers in this novel are really miserable. The more selfless they are, the faster they die.
The writing is quite good so far, and the atmosphere of despair is also very strong. There are certain logical problems but they are harmless. However, although I know that the author is highlighting the devotees when human beings face unsolvable ghosts, why are they all freezing to death in the snow for everyone? Three new events occurred at the expense of noble people's lives? Police and soldiers are not human beings. I know the author is a bit of a group portrait, but the school girls at the police academy, Zhang Huaiyi's friends, the experimental subjects who took the initiative to call for help and report the crime, and the policemen who voluntarily entered the dark world will all die. On the contrary, those who kill for selfish desires can continue to kill people in the dark world and survive. Depending on the development, they will collude with Taoist immortals to capture the entire city. This kind of sacrifice should be made for those who serve the country, and refined egoists should sit back and enjoy the fruits of the protected values. There are people like this in other novels, but they can gain counterattack power after dedication, but here they just let people die. Mainly because there are so many chapters so far, I haven't seen any means of countering ghosts. The core idea is that if you are targeted by ghosts, try not to infect others. If you can infect one, you can infect two. If there are more incidents later, will humans become extinct as soon as they have children?
... It's a pity that the writing is too fragile. The worldview structure and the logic of the characters' actions cannot withstand scrutiny. Just like some comments said, the writing is too narrow. Although the horror can be described, they are all fragmented situations. Such writing will become more and more unbearable. In fact, it has become unbearable since more than ten chapters. What a pity
I really can't stand this type of book, but that's not to say it's not a good book. I can't stand it because every time I read this type of book, I feel like the people in it are so hopeless and have no future. I feel so depressed that I can't stand it anymore.
I am already disappointed after reading the latest chapter. The entire Daoxian chapter failed to continue the desperate and depressive style of the previous Bixian. Since the title of the book is called The Age of Ghosts, how is the current power system of immortals and ghosts structured? Assuming that a brand new power system is constructed, the readers will feel suppressed and fearful, which is no different from the bad street immortals. The front is so amazing, I really don't want to leave things behind.
? ? ?
The book is not bad, but the logic is too confusing. Isn't it that the political power is divided into upper and lower parties, and there is no general leadership team? Sun Zheng has such a weak ruling power. If you dare not write about the current political system, you can write about the ancient feudal central system. Author, you are not from Taiwan, are you?
Could you read it yourself when the author wrote it?
Can there be less nonsense descriptions such as shouting and raising arms? If you don't know how to use words, you can read it again after you finish writing it. If you think it reads smoothly, then post it. Being so abstract will affect the reading experience.
Please don't start a fight, okay!
The book is a good book, but don't always compare it with famous suspense novels such as Death Apartment and Terror Resurrection. The same book has different proportions in different people's hearts, which is more or less normal. In the eyes of some people, it is a masterpiece, but in the eyes of another person, it is just average. Read a good book, and change a book if you think it is not good. Some people are dissatisfied, the evaluation is low, and some are dissatisfied. Strange netizens who don't know the situation come in and look at the comment area. If the evaluation is high, they look at the content and find that it does not match the evaluation in the comment area. They feel that they have been cheated and begin to feel that the book is getting worse and worse as they read, and vice versa Nowadays new books cannot withstand too many comparisons. They are still in the budding stage. Please be gentle.
After being infected by Bixianqian, plum blossom spots appeared on my body🤤. At this time, I immediately practiced Daoxianjue. What will happen at this time? 🥰
It's far worse than Mysterious Resurrection. The author's positioning of the protagonist is wrong. He should explore the unknown instead of spending a lot of space on the setting.
Fuck, my grades are so good, I can do whatever I want. I, who only had 190,000 words to test the waters, feel how different the world is 😭
There is a point in opening high and moving low. Your writing is okay. At least I can read it with more than ten years of book experience. Your shortcoming should be that you may not have a good grasp. You must first grasp the outline. Then it mysteriously revives, why is it so popular? I think it's because he has a strong sense of despair and terror, but in the dungeon, he can give humans some hope. It is discovered based on the protagonist's IQ. Rather than pretending to slap someone in the face like Shuangwen. Human life should have hope. If a book is just hopeless, just like ordinary people's lives, a lake of stagnant water, it is really difficult to attract people.
The writing is very good, but the logic is very poor. Many of the conclusions and actions of the characters in the article are not supported by sufficient evidence at all, and are completely based on imagination. Many places are sensational for the sake of sensationalism...
The author fell into a misunderstanding. The focus of writing novels is not logic, but a sense of substitution. Especially for novices, it is impossible to be perfect. (Anyway, I enjoyed reading this book. Some of the shortcomings are innocuous. I read novels just to relax.) The author needs to grow up and don't care too much about the readers' opinions. Otherwise, if you don't make extensive preparation for the outline, no matter how you write, some people will be dissatisfied and your enthusiasm will be dampened. What a pity this book is. If I could make money, I think I should finish writing the rest of it.
When will the new book be released? Give me a shout-out
I use the big book review section to recommend this book, the suspense traffic is too bad 😭 The epileptic supernatural novel "The Strange Tales of the Rules of Peiyang Institute of Technology"
It's really well written! Simply stunning! Even if you are a eunuch, you still look good!
What about the new book? Isn't it the promised next book?
Propaganda of feudal superstition has been held
The idea is excellent, but the writing is weak. If it doesn't work, the author can try to write about a less desperate subject first. It's not impossible to put a plug-in for the male protagonist. The main thing is to finish the book first and practice the writing.
