Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1391 1389. Comments on "The Mysterious End"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend a new book by a great author to you.

"The Mysterious End", Heishan Laogui, a great writer.

Category: Science Fiction - Apocalyptic Crisis.

Summary:
Four years ago, when I said I was sick, no one believed me.

Four years later, I said I was not sick, but no one believed me.

Believe it or not...

【Brief Comment】

He has 8 books under his name, including "The Sky-Snatching Chronicles" and "Starting from the Red Moon". Before the Red Moon, he only wrote fantasy novels, and after the Red Moon, he only wrote science fiction.

Many people came to realize this through Red Moon. Although we cannot say that this book created any genre, it has definitely influenced a large number of authors and readers in the past two years.

That is the neurotic writing style, the world of truth and falsehood, and the surprising imagination.

"The Scarlet Coming", which came after Red Moon, was obviously a defective product that was a poor imitation. It was hastily finished with 121 million words. The reasons were complicated. His emotional world certainly affected his real world and the world of fiction, but his bad character was also a reality.

Two months later, he published his third book, in the same genre and style as Red Moon, choosing Valentine's Day as the perfect date. The significance of the commemoration outweighed the story itself. He seemed to be trying to numb the emotional trauma through his writing.

The data has not taken off yet, because there is no strong official recommendation, and the role of the Silver Alliance is minimal now, so it all depends on the spontaneous recommendations of old readers.

Because of this, old readers must have been close to collapse after reading the four chapters released on the first day.

I can't say the story is bad, I can only say it's exactly the same as Red Moon. The only similarities here are the simple background setting and initial character designs; the level of surprise is completely incomparable to Red Moon. I've seen many people complaining that the new book's performance will be even worse than Scarlet Advent. As the saying goes, "The first burst of enthusiasm, the second decline, the third exhaustion." Whether this book can completely extinguish its popularity depends on how long it can last.

The protagonist of the book, as the synopsis suggests, is a homebody who lives his whole life at home, yet is mistakenly believed to be ill. It is only when he attends a class reunion that he realizes it's not him who is ill, but this imaginary world.

He and another female character became the only two normal people in this world. The others were hungry ghosts, full of hatred for them. If they were not careful, they would be in a dangerous situation of life and death. This consciousness was fully awakened after he killed a male classmate in anger.

According to the female character, they are the ones who have awakened, and they are also the ones who have not been taken away. There should still be some people in this world.

If we understand it from another perspective, it is equivalent to them coming to a copy similar to a horror game, and their mission is to try their best to survive. All the people and things around them are illusory, including family affection.

The reason why I feel it is not amazing enough is that the conflict is not strong enough, the atmosphere is not deep enough, the characters are not crazy and crazy enough, and the sense of immersion is not very good.

There are still few words at the moment, and not much to see. I suggest readers wait and see for a while to see how it gets received.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

Many readers have previously commented that this book is very similar to "Strange Beast City". Yesterday, Laogui also gave an explanation at the end of Chapter 8, saying that he had been preparing for it for a long time and wanted to bring some freshness to everyone and try something different.

So, do you feel the freshness?
