Status: Breaking out of the underworld, breaking things off and starting over again, asking for leave to be serialized Recommendation: five stars If one day the world ends, only one copy of the fantasy literature in the entire starting point will remain, and this one must be "Steel Gunpowder and the Spellcaster" by Den Huang - even if it is not completed. This would be the War and Peace of our time. This wonderful book has a great tension. Its author is not only the fantasy writer who respects historical details the most, but also the most passionate historical researcher I have ever seen. Stripping away the appearance of fantasy or magic, what the chair cushion actually writes is a historical romantic drama from the Enlightenment period in the 17th and 18th centuries. What is romance? Call it ideal, call it anger, call it a torrent, call it a violent surge from the sky. The successors of the Great Alliance each have their own secrets and wield swords against their colleagues in the name of loyalty; the white lion Khan's banner stands on the grassland, so the riders gather into a river, and a hundred thousand warriors are loyal to him; in the countless killings of the Holy See and the Reformed Church, the fire of change is quietly bred; in the newly cultivated land on the border of civilization, a group of defeated soldiers came together and vowed to rebuild their homeland... But why history? This reflects the author's ambition. Almost every description of society, culture, and country in the chair cushion has a source, and every form of human existence corresponds to the real history. Especially for the evolution of the war, the author has truly managed to remain faithful to the battlefield details from the Infantry Revolution to the Seven Years' War, while also being consistent with its newly added settings. Appropriate and clever selection of historical prototypes not only prevents readers from losing the sense of freshness, but is also supported by sufficient war history and life history materials. In terms of more detailed descriptions, the author did not hesitate to draw on classics of the era such as Quiet Don and Gone with the Wind, which added a lot to the work. An idealistic fairy tale full of history. Hey, brother, do you have any reason not to read it?

Status: Completed Recommendation: 4.5 Stars It can definitely be called the top science fiction work in China. It is an excellent story even if it ignores the science fiction background. It has reached the upper level of popular literature. It has a strong narrative and is extremely cinematic. Unfortunately, it is not easy to change it into a script. After changing it into a script, it will lose a lot of charm. Tianfu Shuorui is a talented science fiction writer. Compared with the three domestic science fiction kings, Tianfu is obviously younger, and his speech and conversation are closer to the tone of young people. However, his writing style is more sophisticated, which means he is catching up from behind. Of course, I don't intend to criticize them here. Tianfu's works have obvious commonalities, and as a whole, they fill the gap in domestic science fiction. Unlike the Liu we are familiar with, Tianfu almost never writes about macro-social thinking, and he is too lazy to criticize the so-called darkness of human nature; instead, he always uses delicate writing to outline the inner world of characters, and in it we can always see people's courage, perseverance, compassion and sacrifice - the brilliance of humanism permeates between the lines. A major feature of Tianfu's works is the emphasis on technical details, which also makes his themes often near-future or even contemporary. In a sense, Tianfu's works are engineering fantasies rather than science fantasies. The research on details shapes the authenticity of the fantasy world and provides assistance to the author in shaping the characters. However, the author is obviously not overly obsessed with this. After all, the attention to technical details is subordinated to the needs of story narrative and character creation, making the technology more interesting without limiting the author's unbridled ideas. Death on Mars is, in my opinion, the most representative of Tianfu's works so far, and it is also the one with the best balance between overall proposition and story type. The first three volumes of this book really astounded me. The finitude of life has never been expressed so explicitly in any other science fiction work that I know of. Human beings are so fragile, so human nature is so beautiful, so human nature is so noble. This is a completely Nietzschean proposition, and Tianfu provides us with a very unique answer. Unfortunately, like Tian Fu's other works, the ending volume of Die on Mars is not satisfactory. Not to mention the problem of the deus ex machina at the end, in the last volume, the technical details with the characteristics of heavenly symbols are significantly reduced, and the story processing is also quite open and closed. It can be seen that the author either ran out of manuscripts or was eager to start a new book. In short, it is a bit anticlimactic, and I regret to deduct half a star.

Status: serialized Recommendation index: 3.5 Stars This is generally what Wang Xiaobo feels when he writes cool articles, but Wang Xiaobo probably can't write about the arrogance of this office. Bitterness is more like a normal person, and madness is more like a crazy person rather than a madman. Man, you are really setting the benchmark for first-class popular literature and even serious literature. My assessment is that Goncharov, Gogol and Turgenev were reincarnated, and Goethe and Nietzsche drank too much that night and gave birth to Dostoevsky. But the brothers are too old and not crazy enough. Update: The recent chapters are really too exciting and hard to criticize.

Status: Completed Recommendation index: four stars An old work by Emperor Danling, a historical classic. The character creation and war scenes are all a level above the previous one. The most common problem in historical novels is the sense of detachment. For some people, this is not a big problem, but for a story writer, I don't need to elaborate on how important this matter is. It is for this reason that I think the protagonist Zhao Jiu is the best dealt with in this book. Fear, regret, responsibility and chivalrous spirit mixed a wandering soul into the historical wave of the confrontation between Song and Jin Dynasties and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. My only evaluation of Zhao Jiu is that he is heroic. If readers want to read a heroic story, this book is a must. Ps: I still don't know what the poisonous point is in the preservation chapter. Even if you fight, you should fight him and change Wanqi Mo into a loyal minister (laughs)

Status: Eunuch Recommendation index: four stars A story of three generations based on the worldview of riding and slashing but completely beyond this worldview. The story is not that legendary, but has enough drama to keep you from getting bored. The author really uses his writing style to take you into such a world, and the almost solid sense of reality even makes the place names such as Vikia and Nord seem abrupt. Only then will you suddenly remember that this is a novel in an imaginary world. Such writing power is rarely seen in contemporary realist literature. And some of our "serious writers" are best at writing realistic literature and the real world as if they were in another world. The comparison between the two makes people laugh. I won't narrate the plot too much, as the author may not be good at it, let alone it's too detailed. But the distinct characters are indeed worthy of my special praise: the grandfather is gentle and loyal to his family, the father is upright and firm, and the son is sinister but has a bottom line... All of this gave me a sense of déjà vu of a hundred years of solitude. The pastoral is so bright, but the turbulent reality has drawn people into the quagmire of politics. War forces people to make choices - hesitation, despair, anger, perseverance, resistance, patience - it is these choices that constitute their history, as well as our history. Ps: Although he is a eunuch, he was castrated because he was involved in politics and is not considered a self-castrate.
