We all live in the past. One summer day 25 years ago, I felt exactly like this when I read "The Sherlock Holmes" for the first time in my life. Time passes on a macro scale, but it is symmetrical on a micro scale; there are gods in stories, but not in reality; the predecessors let society die, but future generations bear the price. We long for heroes, but unfortunately, this is no longer the age of heroes. Then, it is also satisfying to have the honor to watch the heroes in the book exit.
I wanted to read it in the Western fantasy style, so out of nowhere I clicked in and read two chapters and found it to be a very good work. I will express my personal views after ordering the whole book. The structure is divided into volumes, but the number of words is a bit sorry for this structure. After reading it for two days, I felt that the pace of the latter part was too fast and the ending felt rushed. It may be that the outline was not done well or the results were not good, but I feel that there are many more story lines if I continue writing, which can only be said to be a pity. I feel good about the description of the environment and characters. It may be that my thinking is more divergent and I am a bit of a stream of consciousness reader. I can probably get a preliminary understanding of the characters in just a few sentences. In general, the advantages are that the writing is first-class, the quality is very good, and the narrative style is very similar to the detective agency I watched before. There are other feelings that I can't name, but the overall style and story are to my liking. The shortcomings are all minor flaws. The pace is too fast and lacks contradictions and reversals. The protagonist's personality changes a bit too quickly from the end of the Pirate Ship chapter. One or two transitional volumes should be filled in. Finally, the end of the Underwater Kingdom volume feels a bit nonsense and freeing oneself. Many characters are too hasty to finish after they are introduced. Betty, a relatively important supporting role, except for the first or two volumes, is given some storylines and disappears later. She is too tied to the protagonist. It is indeed a pity. If the pace is slowed down and the length is lengthened, there are still many stories that can be written. For example, it is a pity to open a volume for Betty, another volume for Anle, and another volume for Abyss. The summary is a very good Western fantasy novel with a mysterious fantasy epic adventure, which is worth reading
Guess it's you
After reading the introduction, I felt that it was an old thief, a guy, and Fengyue's gang of young people. After reading two chapters, I guessed it was you. I went back and took a look, and I just said that it was remade. Come on, I really like this feeling.
The style is very similar to the weather forecast, but the background is shown too slowly. At least part of the background needed for the current plot must be shown. The remaining background can be followed slowly. If too little is shown, it will become the Riddler, just like the first mate and captain. If they want to perform a ritual, they must at least tell the reader what the ritual is and at least part of it.
It has the taste, but it lacks a little readability The protagonist looks like a stranger
Tell me your impressions
First of all, let me say that the author's writing style is excellent. But the shortcomings are very obvious. 1. The overall writing is very messy and fragmented. 2. The worldview has not been developed at all, and not all readers understand these myths and legends. You can't treat him as if you are enjoying yourself 3. The protagonist has no clear goals, like a cash puppet, he does what others say and does not have his own thinking. Many things came out of nowhere (for example, how those people on the ship became undead. I don't know if I missed it or if I didn't write it at all), and there is no explanation of the source. And it was inconsistent (for example, in the front, the water ghosts were afraid of him and wanted to hand over property to him, but in the back, the water ghosts wanted to kill him.) It was a bit more fun on the boat in the front, but when he got to the Duke's side in the back, he felt smelly and long. An event has not been completed for dozens of chapters. There is also forced amnesia, which is really unbearable. That's all.
After reading seven chapters, I had the feeling that everyone was full of Riddlers and Loaders. The writing is very beautiful and epic, and basically all the descriptions are very graphic. However, it still feels a bit disconnected to see that the protagonist is very cold to Betty, whom he has known for many years, but directly touches the face of Anle, whom he has only known for less than an hour.
A little personal opinion
1. The protagonist can lose his memory, but he cannot have no personality. Now he feels like he is indeed a good person. If the author needs him, he will be just. If he needs him, he will be righteous. If he needs him, he will be bloodthirsty. If he needs him, he will be bloodthirsty. If he needs him to be elegant, he will be elegant. His character can completely jump from left to right. Of course, if the author makes the next big move, just pretend that I didn't say it; 2. I feel like giving some supporting roles The lines are a bit unrefined, and many characters speak a lot, but they have no shaping effect, and instead squeeze the space for shaping the main characters; 3. The world view and power system are extremely lacking in description. On the one hand, it feels like the readers are very familiar with fantasy stories and myths, and on the other hand, it is difficult for people to get involved.
At first glance, it looks like the writing style of an old man. It doesn't look like the writing style of a newcomer.
After reading the prequel, I only had this feeling.
Who is Russell? In the entire volume, the protagonist is just a tool for the author to use the deus ex machina. It is even used to foreshadow the protagonist's life experience. The protagonist's life experience can be solved in a few chapters. It has to be presented with such a riddle and an overly rigid plot arrangement. The result is that the plot is very profound after reading, but the protagonist is covered up. The climax of the plot is also destroyed by the protagonist's deus ex machina, and the sense of satisfaction is gone. There are too many riddles buried in more than half of the new book issue, and new readers are not so patient to wait for you to solve the riddles bit by bit after it is released.
Call for characters and inspiration
If you are interested, you can reply here. The character collection format is: character name + character gender + character race + character nationality and rough background + a myth or legend you like (fairy tales or modern rumors are also acceptable) The inspiration format is arbitrary. (((*°▽°*)(*°▽°*)))♪
Where's the coolness?
I think it requires a sense of expectation to attract others to read the book. I look forward to the protagonist's increased status and strength, the deepening of his emotions with the supporting characters, and the revelation of the foreshadowing... Therefore, I don't rate the Lord of Mysteries very high because it has no anchor to attract me to read. The same goes for this book, which does not give people a sense of expectation.
A little side story with poor writing, given to the author
The extremely ancient half-piece of sacrificial tortoise shell has deep carvings, the characters are inlaid with fine turquoise, and the traces of smoke and fire are crisscrossed with cracks. Russell stood at the highest point of the cruise ship, holding up this ancient tortoise shell with both hands, looking at the sky in the drizzle, and said, "I live in China, and my blessings are boundless. The tin is made of good quality, and it is sacrificed to heaven."... Before Russell finished speaking, there was a strong feeling in front of the cruise ship. The night fog scattered on both sides of the cruise ship like cloth split by a sword blade. The golden midday sun that broke through the thick fog seemed to have covered him with a robe made of gold. The sailors praying on the deck of the cruise ship couldn't help but raise their heads when they felt the warmth of the sun. They looked at Russell standing in the sun, holding up his tortoise shell and facing the sun with a fanatical expression on his face, "Messenger of God! Praise you!"
It feels like an apocalypse forecast, but it's well written.
It can be said to be an excellent work. The last unpopular novel that I liked so much was The Demon Painter, a Totally Eunuch. The late stage of Latent Abyss Syndrome is too out of control, and the new books seem to be still eating away at the legacy of Fight Club and Hegel... Modern people are driven by the fast-paced trends of the times and cannot calm down and read. But I'm glad that there are still authors who are willing to seriously write the stories in their hearts. Some comments said that too many ancient Greek elements appeared, making it difficult to understand. But to be honest, the book uses some familiar mythological stories, and there is nothing too unusual. When I was a child, whenever I encountered a concept I didn't understand in a book, I would search it immediately. If I lose my thirst for knowledge, my mind will be one step ahead of my body and fall into the grave.
The writing is very good! ! ! ! But it may be a problem with the structure. It feels like there are too many things crammed into the beginning. Although the writing is really good, it still feels like a riddle. But but the writing is really good! ! ! Very cool! Just like Feng Yue, Yin Tian, Hu Fu, and a guy, they are fucking the world with their chuunibyou! ! This feeling. But there is indeed a bit too much crammed into the beginning.
It turns out that the new book is here, come and support it.
Preliminary impressions of a dozen chapters
Fan of the world - fan of the modern city? Western fantasy epic? Are there Eastern and British emm modern times, and Western gods offer sacrifices? Weird Fan - Character fan - Oh, you are the protagonist, how can you still be like this if you are not a buddy? Didn't I miss it? Didn't you say that you are a writer who travels around the world? Even if your Amomum villosum is so smooth, why are you not surprised at all when you see strange things? Oh, I know the memory of 20 years, right... Fan - plot fan - what are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to North America? Who are you talking about? Oh, heroine, ah? Why did you get on the ship to decrypt it? My little hands are not very clean and I want to keep a witch as a pet... Summary - All the above are connected by the author with excellent writing style, just like a new cake made by a master. The taste is unique and weird but it tastes good, but based on my cake-eating experience, there may be a bomb underneath... The feeling of fragmentation is slightly Seriously, it's not the traditional one from 0 to 100, but from 100 to 20 and then to 100. This leads to another problem: the sense of substitution. The reader cannot substitute. The protagonist is as mysterious as the novel and difficult to anchor. It is not surprising that anything will happen if it becomes uncontrollable. If it is popular, will deus ex machina become more frequent? Things that readers think are surprising may seem ordinary to the protagonist. This is a test of the author's writing skills and the overall arrangement of the story. That is, the person who picks people requires you to read carefully and painstakingly follow up. I will keep good works for a while, brothers, you can pursue them first.
It's too obscure, and there's no obvious main plot at the beginning. I don't know what to expect.
You are not a newcomer either. Who are you?
Why do I feel like there is a curse on this cover? Personally, I think the pretty good-looking Shi Sanbai and the wizard in human skin (also on this cover) have been cut off. This book's results are not good either. I hope it won't be cut off.
There are a lot of foreshadowings and metaphors buried at the beginning of the chapter. Too much foreshadowing will also affect the perception and make people feel obscure and difficult to understand.
Finished?
Why didn't it end in chapter 200 (I just realized it was six days ago
Why can't I understand the first few pictures?
There's nothing wrong with the writing, but the plot is a bit too Riddler-esque, and a bit draggy. The first volume has more than 40 chapters and doesn't have any explosive points. It just feels bland, and the emotional line is equally bland.
