Fantasy and the Supernatural
Fantasy, supernatural fiction, and more. I mainly recommend newer works, but there will be other genres too. I may revisit some books, and books with chaotic reviews will be removed.

Books are immortal memories
Because I have the habit of revising when I write a book, whether it is to straighten out sentences or add or delete some paragraphs. The mechanism of Qidian has caused some comments on modifications to fall into the virtual world due to the changes. I am deeply sorry for the impact o(╥╥)o —but Qidian will forget it, and I will not. Every comment will leave traces in the writer's backend. Reading your messages is one of the motivations for me to write a book. Thank you to every reader who sees this. It is with your participation that the content of this book can become more complete.

Background introduction, and some pre-viewing tips (perhaps Shen Nong?)
Hello everyone, this is Haiyan. In case there are readers who are interested in this book but don't know the setting/can't understand the content, here is a brief introduction to the background of the book to help readers quickly understand the specifics of the book. First of all, the world view of this book is adapted from the two games "Secret Cult Simulator" and "Book of Sichen", which is the "Noon" world view. The original text of the game is relatively fragmented, with a magnificent descriptive style and ambiguous expressions based on the tone of British mysticism. Because of its ambiguity, it will put certain requirements on readers in terms of understanding. If you are interested in simple and clear upgrade points, and the levels rise according to letters, then this book may not be suitable for you. Second, due to genre reasons, the numerical settings in this book are not limited to the gender gradient of 2/4/6/8 in the original work. The settings serve the narrative, and the synthetic watermelon-style game mechanism is obviously not so applicable in online texts. For the introduction to the world view and keywords, you can refer to the introduction in [Related Works]. I will not go into details here, but please pay attention to the fictional setting (lost history) of this book, such as the resurrection game of the gods of the stone source, the collapse of the sun, etc., Which are also reflected in the names of different principles. For example, [moth] turns into [cocoon], [cup] overflows with [blood], etc., All of which will be told according to the background events. Well, have fun watching. Your delicious friend. Presented by Haiyan. (The book friends group post is in the introduction and the latest chapter. If you are interested, come and play. If you beat the author in the group, you will drop a esoteric gift package and some reference books.)
Can't read
To be honest, there are too many metaphors, metaphors, and Western myths that I can't understand. It has an inexplicable beginning and an inexplicable ending. It feels like the book is a esoteric world view, but the reader feels like reading an indescribable and incomprehensible novel full of gibberish in the Cthulhu world view.
Unpopular among the unpopular, because the author seems to assume that readers know the game settings. People who have never played it will feel that there are too many words and descriptions that are incomprehensible, and there are also long and idealistic descriptions. There are so many contents that I don't know whether it is the text of the protagonist Goldfinger or what, and there is no explanation. Although after reading the first copy, I feel that it is okay, but there are probably very few people like me who can't understand many of them and still read it. . .
The esoteric novel is a large-scale self-design () Those who know it will participate in the discussion, and many new things can appear But most readers can only accept flavor text () I am really sorry that I can be seen as a minority at a glance ()
The choice of words and sentences is very similar to that of a certain master. The shortcomings are also the same. It is very tiring to read. The protagonist is so intense that the reader is tired to death...
To put it bluntly, this book was not written for casual readers who are not players/enthusiasts of esoteric cults.
This book has a total of 42 chapters so far, of which as many as 20 chapters are full of tributes in large sections. To put it nicely, it is called tribute to the settings of the Esoteric Cult simulator. The following interactions are also for Esoteric Cult enthusiasts, and there are almost no readers who have not been exposed to Esoteric Cult. Then the question is, do these ordinary passerby readers not want to comment? No, it's because they can't understand. The Esoteric Cult is a occult-themed game. It is a good thing that the settings are obscure and difficult to understand, as it can increase the atmosphere and sense of immersion. However, these settings are good to say that they are a tribute, and to say that they are unpleasant is that the original texts in the Esoteric Cult are modified and used. What are the advantages? The advantage is that Esoteric Cult fans are really ecstatic after watching it. What is the disadvantage? The disadvantage is that passers-by cannot understand it at all. If you are writing a fan novel purely for fans of esoteric cults, then I would say continue to fill it up and fill it up, add the original setting to the end, and that's it. Ordinary casual readers will hardly click in, and fans of the original work will be happy watching it. But what you wrote is an online article that was published publicly on Qidian. It is a book that may have a plan to make money on the shelves. Then I have to give the author a suggestion. As an author, you have to think about who you want to write for. If you have thought about it, tell me about this book. It's just for fans to read, it doesn't matter if you don't make money, that's very casual, but if you think it should be understood by general readers, my evaluation is: The entire early chapters and the description style set in the future may need to be greatly changed
Hello everyone, I'm a police detective, and today I'm going to tell you something that esoteric believers don't want to see😋
Hey, the esoteric cultists have caught this.
I can't understand the settings!
I can't understand the setting—— As the title states, many readers have recently reported that the setting of this book is relatively obscure and concentrated, making it difficult to understand it well. I can only express this. is my problem. Due to the difference in perspective and foundation, I have taken it for granted that some content throws out settings, which is more difficult for newcomers to understand. Therefore, I would like to ask book friends who have doubts and confusion about the setting of this book to leave comments in the text or express their opinions here. As long as their comments are reasonable, I will take them into consideration for revision and help this book become better. Here, thank you in advance for your valuable opinions. Above
I've read Chapter 30, right?
I read this book because I like the subject of esotericism I saw that the first copy of Chapter 30 was almost finished I had a strong sense of déjà vu The villain has been accumulating for a long time, planned calmly, and worked hard for his life for the big goal of immortality Then the protagonist rushed up shouting love and justice, knocking the villain to the ground. How should I put it, it feels like a cartoon. There is no need for a long period of hard work and accumulation, you can win as long as the small universe explodes
