【Brief Comment】

He has written many works, including "Big Data World" and "Fort Mage". The web page shows that the earliest book was created in 2014.

Almost ten years have passed in a flash. During this period, the performance was sometimes high and sometimes low. After two books failed in succession, the author was silent for half a year and conceived this new book "Master Tongtian".

The book was published on January 1st, and in less than six months, he has already updated 204 million words, an average of nearly 20,000 words per day. Of course, he had hundreds of chapters in draft before publishing the book.

The first order was 1550, which is not high. It is generally difficult for new books in the fantasy category to perform very well.

This book has just been widely recommended, with over 100,000 collections, 2 alliance leaders, and no silver alliances. It is expected to reach 10,000 subscriptions.

Judging from the early plot alone, it is indeed possible to get tens of thousands of subscriptions.

The protagonist is reborn into a different world, a shepherd boy in a mountain village. Besides herding sheep, he also enjoys painting. He has his own computer desktop, complete with a folder filled with beautiful women. Using the screenshot function, he copies these characters. The system also allows for the storage of spells and various scenes, making it incredibly useful. One day, the village is destroyed by a cursed mage. The protagonist bravely steps forward to become his apprentice, demonstrating his skill in painting beautiful women. In this era, mages are also short of money, and paintings of beautiful women are extremely valuable. For the time being, the protagonist is safe.

Arriving in the town, the Spider Followers appear. They are a group of prostitutes who work with the wizard to sell the protagonist's paintings of beautiful women. Later, a divine bird appears, triggering a divine punishment that causes it to drop three feathers. A warrior enters the town, and a plot intertwines with the wizard, the Followers, and the protagonist.

In reality, from beginning to end, the protagonist is merely a tool for the mage to make money, and the spells he teaches are worthless. In the final battle, the mage obtains the feather of a divine bird, greatly increasing his power. He sets up a necromancy circle, trapping the warriors and their followers in a desperate situation. It is the protagonist's sneak attack that succeeds, teaching everyone a lesson.

The first short story is very exciting, with excellent characters and plot. The interlocking logical lines reveal the author's ingenuity and imagination.

Maybe because the daily updates were a bit too much, the plot was inevitably a bit watered down, with more pretentious and face-slapping parts. This is the case with many books: the further the plot goes, the less fresh it feels and the more formulaic it becomes.

Still, I quite enjoyed this book. Even though I rarely read fantasy, don't have much of a connection to dragons, and struggle to appreciate the story's depth, I can't deny its brilliance and quality. I hope more people enjoy it.

【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】

After watching so many excellent works, I am increasingly doubting my own abilities. This mentality is really killing me.

Many people, including some great writers, also fall into various self-doubts.

Everyone understands the principle, but the situations are complicated.

What I hope more is that I can maintain my unfailing passion for creation, work hard to write, and write more.

Learn to love!
