As Lovecraft Put It

Why do 99% of Qidian authors write Cthulhu as a wriggling tentacle and twisted piece of flesh? Shouldn't you read some original works before writing?🤔

Recommendation level: Selective recommendation, it is not a regular online article at all, so you can't expect to read it in the same way as online articles (not in a derogatory sense, not in a complimentary sense). Even the original Cthulhu novel requires some effort to read. If it can be finished, I think it can be regarded as a representative work of Chinese Cthulhu novels in some aspects (probably? I haven't read too many) After I read a third of it completely (but not carefully), I jumped at the subsequent chapters. This is an original Cthulhu novel. The author's descriptions of subtle details are very, very, very detailed and distinctive. The form is also very ingenious and has a sense of design. If you read it and understand it, you will probably feel resonance and excitement. But the reading threshold or the threshold for reading is relatively high. First, it is a convoluted plot structure that is not linear. I think to a large extent this article is author-oriented rather than reader-oriented. It is quite difficult to read. Second, it is confusing and detailed. The author uses long paragraphs, long paragraphs, long paragraphs, long paragraphs, long paragraphs and long paragraphs to describe some very subtle changes, and at the same time, I will use a whole chapter or several chapters to write in detail some things that I think can be omitted, such as six consecutive chapters of background story introduction, or one or two chapters of very detailed rules for a specific dice-throwing game (which can be regarded as a game manual). If you want to grasp the plot, you will find that the plot is submerged in similar scenes. If anyone likes Cthulhu with a relatively pure taste, I also recommend Dr. Dawn and Kraft's Notes on Abnormalities, and there is also a Cthulhu Martial Arts, I forgot the specific name. Regarding the readability of the above three issues, the first is Dr. Ming Ming, the second is the Notes on Anomalies, and the third is the martial arts book Cthulhu (which quotes too much from scriptures and uses some ridiculous descriptions), but the readability of the above is stronger than this book 🤭

It's too convoluted, and the introduction is a bit misplaced. Looking at the introduction, you will think that this is the story of the protagonist inheriting the Luo style inheritance, but in fact it is the story of how the protagonist inherits the Luo style inheritance.

The free chapter spends 6 complete chapters dedicated to introducing the background story of Dunwich. If you run a group, it feels like it takes one or even two groups to introduce it 😐 The story is quite interesting, but is there a better way to introduce the background of the story? There is no protagonist in Chapter 6 of the online article, and there is not even a plot recommendation. It is all about the background story, which feels quite unfavorable to attract readers. However, the original work of Cthulhu itself is very small, and people who are willing to read it may be able to accept or tolerate it (such as me), so the problem is probably not big, but it is not conducive to more readers...

Loyal to the original work, it is completely different from the refreshing Cthulhu text of Qidian. The writing style is also good so far.

For someone like me who particularly likes Luo's writing style, this book by the author is really to my liking. At the same time, I also think that from the book reviewers' point of view, if this book can continue, it has great potential to become one of the domestic masterpieces, and it is among the top batch. Compared with other domestic genre novels, this work has a purer flavor, but most people will probably be put off by the lengthy descriptive sentences. Of course I appreciate this and can accept it, but for online articles, I still hope that the author can find his own rhythm between popularization and maintaining his own style. After all, if the book never produces results, you can't force the author to generate electricity for love.

Lovecraft himself lamented his lack of vocabulary when compared with the author🙂

Kewei is very authentic, with all the complex structures, obscure sentences, and paradoxical styles that should be expected. It is even more difficult to understand than the original text of Ai Craftsmanship. Although I think the refreshing writing style of "Dream of Kadasi", which loves craftsmanship and self-introduction, is the genre that contemporary audiences prefer, but this kind of... Is okay, but it is too difficult to understand. No matter how obscure and suspenseful a short story about Ai Craftsmanship is, it can be told in tens of thousands of words. However, this online article is a long one, and the story has not been clear up until now. The previous plot has just touched upon a point that has no beginning and no end, and then jumps to the next plot. The reader is confused throughout the whole process, and has to keep up with the update. The feeling of being unresolved for too long can really make people uncomfortable, especially since the atmosphere of this article is so depressing. If you like the orthodox taste, you can check it out.

Let's see how the original work Cthulhu and the "light novel" are put together 🙂

The author's writing is very good, but there is no market for the fundamental Cthulhu. Can the author accept that there will be no results for a long time?
