Prison of Heroes

This was the first game-themed novel I ever read, and also the one I followed the longest. Over the years, it's been on and off, but this book has always been the one that initially captivated me, the one that moved me with Yi Ge's character, which is why I occasionally revisit it. Thank you for the emotions this book evoked, and I'm so glad that *Hero Prison* wasn't abandoned, giving me a satisfying conclusion after such a long journey. Thank you, author, for this story.

Wow, like most people, I first encountered this book in middle school, and it's been on and off many times. Today, I was reminded of that unforgettable story and that equally unforgettable author. But actually, what truly moved me was another work unrelated to this book, the story of "Love Turns the Corner."

What is real and what is illusory is inherently unprovable. Just like Gödel's laws, a system itself can never prove the problems of that system. The answer is no longer important; let's just live in the present.

Let me tell you something for new readers: this book was absolutely a masterpiece at the time, but please don't criticize it with today's standards. Times have changed, just as it's foolish to try to apply modern thinking to the past. If you can't stand it, you can leave. And you're right to criticize me.

I discovered this book a few years ago; it was my first time reading about online games. I read it on and off because of many things that happened, until about a month ago when I suddenly remembered it. At the time, it was one of my favorite books. Over the past month, I've occasionally seen it on my bookshelf, and it brought back memories of reading it. I'm currently rereading it.

This post is dedicated to our lost youth...

This is a book that has been on my bookshelf since I bought Nokia phones, now I own a Smartisan phone, and since I first read an online novel in my second year of high school.

Brother Yi, I read Heroic Prison when I was in sixth grade, and now I'm a senior in college, about to take the postgraduate entrance exam. I'll borrow a line from your book to encourage myself. - Dreams are like oases in the desert; even after a long time, they may remain just mirages. But dreams are also like sand in the desert; once you leave your mark, there will be footprints.

This novel may not seem like much now, but it was definitely the number one novel about games back then, and it was only after he finished writing this novel that novels about virtual games gradually began to appear.

Brother Yi, I always read your books when I was in school, but I had no income and could only read pirated copies. Every time I saw you struggling with illness, I wanted to do something for you, but I was just a junior high school student and couldn't do anything. Now, seven or eight years have passed in a flash, and many things have changed. I haven't paid attention to you for a long time.
