The Sage and the Maiden

I rarely write book reviews (because the atmosphere in the Qidian book review circle is really not very good), but I finally caught up with the update and decided to write something. What should I say about this book? It is the most unusual book I have seen on Qidian. Its depth is not at a level that can be found in the cookie-cutter Qidian Shuangwen. It is the kind of book that is not paid attention to in the domestic environment but can occupy a place in the foreign fantasy novel world. I originally discovered that this book was actually recommended by Qidian, but to be honest, I was discouraged many times by the introduction. Finally, I clicked in to read it by chance when I was in a book shortage. Originally, I had the mentality of reading the light novel and not reading it (because I actually hate the popular light novels, slap in the face, dark style, invincible white novels, farming style, etc.), But actually I was deeply attracted after reading a few chapters. This book is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air in the fantasy mudslide at Qidian. Why do I say this? It does not lie in how complete and self-consistent the setting and worldview of the book are, or how deeply rooted the characters are in people's hearts (of course the author has done these two things very well. If you read them carefully, you will find that the author has put in a lot of effort), but in the author's knowledge reserve and life experience. From each author's writing style and the psychological description of the protagonist, we can actually get a glimpse of the author's mental maturity. There is no doubt that the author of this book can lead most readers, including me, to think and learn in this regard. This proves that the author's vision is at a higher level than mine. What is reflected in the book is as if the author is a sage, inadvertently telling us a lot of knowledge we don't know, making us reflect on our own way of doing things. However, the author of this book is not like some authors who like to analyze modern people's thinking in their articles and then compare it to the protagonist. Instead, the author of this book does not deliberately discuss these major principles in the article, but only subtly lets readers who really know how to appreciate this book understand. So I have a bit of admiration for the author, and I hope to tell the author who is no longer affected by messy people that there are real readers who support you. Come on!

Otherwise... Forget about changing jobs and find a more reliable website.

What you were worried about finally happened. As expected, yw and TX got a taste of the sweetness. After finishing the "Star Moment", they were engaged in the "Golden Autumn Welfare" in the blink of an eye. . . I am also an author! Enough of this feeling of powerlessness!

I really admire the author. The background setting of this book is probably longer than the main text, right? Settings that are as meticulous as life details appear in the text inadvertently, giving me an extremely real feeling. Great book! Praise!

It was put on hold for several months😥

I have read so many books, and this one has the best descriptions of details! ! ! , With strict logic, it is a novel that must be read carefully. I would say that this book can be called a top quality book. However, the readership of this book is too small, and it is a must-read for those who love Western fantasy! ! !

Out of the desire to bring this world to life, I started organizing this book. Currently, only chapters one to two have been compiled. It's not a lot, but it will be added gradually. There is a lot to learn to implement this idea, but I am learning. Send a picture of worldmachine The terrain is based on po_er's tutorial.

I was quite shocked that the world designed by the author turned out to be like this. This map was drawn by Roy in 2016 I believe that many book friends who have been reading know this map I found it during archeology in the book club at 11:03 on April 22, 2022 It is touching, not only the author's knowledge but also the author's six years of persistence Educational Thank you for your efforts A blunt application of a sentence from "Chen Qing Biao": I would like to express my gratitude to you Although the above text is not an expression                                      April 23, 2022 0:23

In a sense, I'm really lucky. I found a book that I couldn't find 😁 out of nowhere.

The map drawn by Roy in 2016 may be slightly different from the current setting
