The Curious Travels of Scholar Helo

How should I put it? I feel that the excitement of the book is slowly declining. It was amazing at the beginning, but recently the story has slipped to just okay. First, the protagonist lacks personality and becomes more and more like a camera taking readers to watch a documentary, rather than us following a person on an adventure. Now in this section, I repeatedly emphasize that I am afraid of trouble, and treat students with indulgence and get involved in trouble. The purpose is to find future generations to find a way to return to the academic capital. Looking for future generations is like having no brains, and has to make a hundred turns. Conflicts must be justified. Second, good settings are not used consistently, but new settings are added all the time. For example, the immortality of the protagonist and the significance of the encounter with the dragon are completely ignored and not even mentioned in the Icefield Evil God. The skills and environment of the ice field are gone after leaving the ice field. The most important thing is to return to the city. I would rather find a descendant of a scholar who knows how many generations than ask about the extraordinary species from the extraordinary world I met... The charm of the protagonist is really falling apart.

I caught up with the latest chapter and made a brief summary of this book. After all, there is a high probability that I will have to comment again, so I might as well just leave it in this building: Overall, I dare not say that this is an excellent work, but it is definitely a book that suits my taste. Purely subjective, I can give full marks, but the writing is indeed too obscure. The large number of narrations and proper nouns can easily scare the readers of the book and make it more difficult to read than the one written by Qi Miao. First of all, this is a very solid original fantasy worldview based on religion and mysticism. The author has made quite an exaggerated effort in the structure of the worldview, so that about half of the "original races" look like they exist in the myths and legends of a small country in Southern Europe, while the other half are simply products based on the stitching of a certain mythology. In other words, this worldview is a very charming, deep, and unique masterpiece with a very unique setting, but it also has a high cost of acceptance. It cannot be described by simple terms such as "Western Fantasy", "Japanese Fantasy" or "DND"; Secondly, there is the plot. In my opinion, the plot of this book is more within a main line framework, with a lot of medium-length travel notes, fables, fairy tales and prophecies stuffed in. For readers who are not immersed in accepting the worldview, it will of course seem very confusing. However, I particularly like the author's enthusiasm for allegorical structures. It is not difficult to notice that in the entire main line, a large number of original fables or short fairy tales are actually reflected in the main lines of the same chapters, and these main lines themselves are second-level "fables" that mirror the previous and following chapters. This is also the reason why I like the chapter "The Long Night" the most. The whole story itself has almost no connection with the main plot, but the shepherdess, the mining owner who appeared in it... Almost every character who will not appear again has looped back to the main plot before and after. You can intuitively feel the growth of the protagonist through this mapping relationship in the process, which to me is the most outstanding part of the book. What's even more rare is that the narrative structure of this level is completely original, unlike some authors who copy and imitate Western novellas to improve the writing quality. In short, the plot of the full text is actually very closely connected, but the author's allegorical writing method causes all the connections to be hidden under the text instead of floating on the paper. If you don't delve into the relationship between each unit story and the entire main line, then it is normal to feel that the plot is scattered. To sum up, this is a fantasy work with an excellent world view, a very unique plot, a particularly pleasing character design, and complicated writing, with very prominent advantages and disadvantages. If there are readers who like "Interstellar Pioneer", "Rain World", "Secret Cult Simulator/Book of Si Chen" and other readers who use a large amount of information to guess the main plot, they will like this kind of works very much. It is difficult for me to evaluate whether this book is good or bad in the eyes of readers, but I am almost certain that the author was very happy in the process of writing this story - if I were the author and could write a narrative art with this structure, I would do it even if no one came to read it! (Zhensheng) Just kidding, I wish this book will get better and better (๑ت๑)

The illustrations in the text will be thumbnails, so they are published in the form of a book review

It is a very interesting fantasy novel. The author's imagination and setting ability are very amazing. At present, it seems that it will follow a structure similar to a road movie, describing the story of the protagonist discovering the truth about the disappearance of his hometown while doing research and teaching students. The first big chapter tells a combination of a detective story in a blizzard mountain village and an adventure fantasy story. The author is very careful in describing the characters, and you can see that many supporting characters have their own small details, which is a big plus. The story, scenes and settings are also quite imaginative, and the fantasy color is quite strong. It is definitely worth a look for those who like this style. The main shortcoming is that the structure of the story is a bit uncoordinated, or the second half is too stream-of-consciousness. Of course, this is also related to the main line of this volume, but when combined with the fantasy color that the author wants to depict, it is easy to make people confused. There are also some problems with rhythm control. The author consciously controls the rise and fall of the climax, but he may be a little impatient. The stories are a bit messy, and there is a lot of blank space. This way, there is a lot of information in the text, and the pace seems too fast. In short, it is a thoughtful and unique work, and there are not many authors who are willing to write like this at the beginning.

After reading the first chapter, I was impressed by the book's vast worldview, novel ideas, and the author's imagination and writing style. It is rare to see a "hard fantasy" novel nowadays that is not impetuous, clichéd, or numerical, has a novel, complete, and self-consistent worldview, and is well-organized. The author's writing style is very powerful, and the various descriptions fit the plot very well, which is breathtaking. As other comments have said, it seems more appropriate to use "literary work" to describe this book than "online article". Because I read it in two days, I think the author's rhythm is just right. He adds some stories to supplement the world view in the tense plot, occasionally makes jokes in serious places, and describes the small details of various characters to create a sense of reality and life in the travel notes. The description of the regional features and the insertion of B&Bs also allow us readers to have a glimpse of this huge world. But if you keep up with updates every day, it may indeed be a bit painful. Come on, author, take care of yourself! This book is very unique and is about to become a hit!

What does the introduction say? What is dual world? The introduction should be easy to understand, do some fancy things to make people confused, and have a funeral right after your debut, making people confused. You don't find this attractive, do you?

The writing is quite good, but this style of writing makes me very doubtful about the update speed. Author, you'd better have hundreds of thousands of manuscripts saved.

This book is very interesting. I believe book friends who have read it twice will find that compared with other online books, it obviously has many differences in "temperament". And if you can improve the shortcomings but retain them, highlight the advantages, and persevere through the lull period of new creation, you will undoubtedly have a place at the starting point First of all, the writing style of this book sometimes makes people's eyes shine, reminding me of the romance and dream I felt when I read Western Fantasy. The existence of writing is to sublimate the plot, which is also the next problem. This book seems to be stuck between online articles and physical books, and physical books have the threshold of physical books, and online articles also have the characteristics of online articles. Since it is chosen to be published in the form of online articles, it naturally needs to be catered for (of course, some of the author's efforts can be seen) Internet articles need enough and impressive nodes. Often each chapter needs to be as clear as possible. On the basis of continuity with the previous and previous chapters, there are twists, jumps, or anything else that allows readers to recall what this chapter is about - an index. Since online articles are updated every day and are divided into chapters of just a few thousand words, telling the story slowly, well, readers do like it, but it does not match the fantasy adventure theme of this book very well. Besides, it seems to be slowly turning to another category now - the fantasy mystery genre! It is indeed very interesting to grasp folk tales and legends of sneakiness as an appetizer, but the long-term foreshadowing and the problem of an unmatched audience are quite difficult to deal with. From a macro perspective, the plot is indeed very good. The several turns in Blizzard Villa are very nice, and it can be seen that a sound and interesting world view has been set up. However, the problem still lies in how to express these brilliantly through each chapter as a carrier. For example, it would be boring to cover most of the chapter with worldview as knowledge. It would be better to lay out the crucial foundation and general concepts first. Since the plot follows the protagonist, the reader will usually be most impressed by what the protagonist does. The goal of scholars should be to establish the clearest context and index of the novel. But he currently lacks a kind of soul, which can be broken down into subjective initiative and character. He is somewhat like a tool being pushed to develop the world view and plot, rather than a promoter. Although this and his indifferent character are reasonable from the plot and background, the current scholar who is as warm as boiled water is indeed difficult to save the city of scholars as the box said - the setting is very cool, with an immortal body, a student with super potential, and a wealth of extraordinary knowledge... . A further extension is the contradiction between the setting of scholars with rich knowledge and the incomplete world view, so the setting of "student" characters is necessary. It is better to occasionally describe the development of the story from their perspective Finally, overall this is a good book. (Disclaimer: I wrote the above on a whim, please don't comment if you don't like it)

Some of the authors I like are popular and some are famous. Not many of them have better writing skills than you and their stories are more original than yours. The difference between pounce and burst is just whether you insist on updating and a little bit of luck. Come on!

The author should not be influenced by some comments. For example, if a hundred customers enter a restaurant, there are 40 opinions on the dishes in the suggestion box. After the change, on the one hand, the other 60 guests who have no objections may not be satisfied, and on the other hand, the 40 dissatisfied guests may not come again. The important thing is that you have your own ideas, write your own story clearly, and discuss with others what you feel is not good. It's hard to please everyone, and you can't please everyone.
