Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 162 161. Comments on "Records of Abnormal Creatures"

Today I would like to introduce a science fiction work to you.

"Records of Abnormal Creatures", author: Yuan Tong, platinum writer.

Category: Science Fiction - Time Travel.

【Introduction】

Hao Ren, as his name suggests, is a good man. His ideal is to live a peaceful life as a small landlord who is not poor but not rich either - at least that was the case before a bunch of psychopaths moved into his house.

A remote and old house, a bunch of abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from "God". These three factors make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and the most capable nanny in the world. The story of the most chaotic, strangest and most abnormal tenant and landlord begins here.

"From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a pirate ship..."

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter 1, so far, pretty normal. The protagonist, Hao Ren, is 25 years old, unemployed and homeless, with nothing but the old house his parents left him. He's headed downtown looking for a job, a completely unsuccessful search. Resting on a roadside bench, he encounters a giggling girl who asks for directions. The address, surprisingly, is his old house.

Chapter 2: And then things suddenly got weird! Hao Ren was taking a girl named Liu Lili to his old house. She chatted non-stop and was incredibly familiar with him. When they got out of the car, Hao Ren, out of kindness, tried to help Lili with her suitcase, but failed. Lili picked it up and ran away, her steps swift. Entering the alley, it seemed like something was about to happen.

Chapter 3, Wolf. The atmosphere around them becomes eerie. Lily keeps urging the protagonist to leave, but Hao Ren's good nature kicks in, insisting on digging into the truth and refusing to leave. Lily begins to transform, resembling a werewolf. The protagonist is successfully drawn into the world of urban legends.

Chapter 4: Werewolf Secrets. Lily fought the shadow in the air, gaining no advantage. The shadow didn't dare land to engage Lily, and ultimately fled. Hao Ren was stunned, but he still decided to take Lily home. It was so late, where could she stay alone?

Chapter 5, and the cat. Arriving at Hao Ren's old house, Lily inspected the room. Everything was small but thoughtful. The key point was, Hao Ren was a really nice guy. The food was ready and tasted good. But Hao Ren suddenly yelled at the cat, "Get lost!" Lily was so frightened that she almost transformed on the spot. It was too scary.

Yuan Tong, a new platinum writer in 2018, whose representative works include "The Xiling Empire", "Records of Abnormal Creatures" and "Sword of Dawn".

As a heavyweight in the science fiction category, each of his works is very long. Readers who like to read super long novels can go for it.

Today I’m going to talk to you about “Records of Abnormal Creatures”.

This book is relatively down-to-earth.

The story follows ordinary landlord Hao Ren, whose old house is unavailable for rent. Desperate, he seeks a job downtown but fails. While resting in a small square, he encounters a young woman with extraordinary strength looking for a place to rent. Unexpectedly, upon arriving home, the young woman transforms into a werewolf and knocks down a vampire roaming the sky with a brick. The next day, the vampire also shows up to rent a place. These two unusual women, with their inherent hostility yet incredibly endearing qualities, take up residence in the protagonist's home and, in turn, their hearts.

An incredible urban legend begins here!

Judging from the content alone, this book, featuring various unusual creatures, falls into the category of urban legends or suspenseful paranormal. Yet, it was chosen to be categorized as science fiction, perhaps due to the author's sensibilities. After all, he's a major sci-fi figure!
Of course, the story of the protagonist and the goddess of creation working together to kill the goddess of destruction also falls into the science fiction category.

I rarely read science fiction, and I feel that apart from "The Three-Body Problem", there seems to be no other science fiction works worth reading.

It’s better to watch suspense than science fiction. It all depends on imagination anyway, and suspense is at least more exciting.

Still, this book is pretty good!

The language of this book is very humorous, with all kinds of jokes coming to mind. Whether the jokes are old-fashioned or not depends on who is saying them.

The silly werewolf Lily and the stubborn vampire Vivian who appeared early on were also full of complaints. If they weren't beautiful, they really wouldn't have survived more than a few episodes. This contrasting cuteness, combined with the protagonists' crazy complaints, hits the readers' heart, even directly expressing what the readers want to complain about, leaving them with no room for improvement!
Compared with those lazy authors who have relied on book reviews and book club crowdfunding to write books in the past two years, Big Eyeball is really a hardworking little bee~
Personally, I prefer the early story, which doesn’t have so many big backgrounds and famous scenes. It’s just about living with these two brainless and abnormal creatures, which is comparable to "The Daily Life of the Immortal King".

As for the later stories about fighting, killing and saving the universe, especially those with English names, they are not so cute.

However, the grand scene of dealing with the Goddess of Destruction in the finale was quite exciting. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a big scene. The God-Slaying Sword is a one-size-fits-all solution?
【to sum up】

The anime adapted from this book is said to be just passing grade!

It’s not bad, at least it can be adapted.

Let’s take a look at how the highly anticipated "City of the Dead 2" turned out.
The graphics quality of "Cautious Hero" is not very high-quality;

One Punch Man is pretty good;

The recently released "Fictional Reasoning" is also quite good~
Huh? We were supposed to recommend books, but now we're talking about anime?

Forcefully twist a wave~
Friends who have watched the anime "Abnormal Creature Record" must read the original novel, which is Yuan Tong's platinum-winning work~
Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
【Cang's Ramblings】

Many people have read this book, and many people who recommend it have also written about it.

I thought there was nothing to write, after all, I hadn't even read the original book carefully.

In the past, I only read literature about cultivating immortals, and I would never touch science fiction.

Mechas, spaceships, interstellar things, etc., come to think of it, it is not as simple and refreshing as cultivating immortals, where you can continue to defy the heavens with a golden finger.

The protagonist, Hao Ren, has a bad mouth and a bad mouth. He seems to be entangled in many causes and effects and is destined to be a trouble.

He was only a rookie Inspector who had been in office for only two years, but he was very famous in the universe.

He is specifically responsible for handling matters in the dream plane. Because of his performance at work, he is called "Bomb Man" by the examiners, nicknamed "Explode Wherever He Goes", and also known as "Bomb Man, the Explosive Genius".

As expected, one generally needs to read a book in depth to be able to read the soul of the book and the thoughts and feelings that the author wants to express hidden behind the words.

Finally, I was particularly sleepy today and did not complete my writing plan.

Hao Ren's jokes didn't sober me up at all.

Let’s all go. The release will be scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Not very exciting, compared to the original.

I can only say that big eyes are really powerful, and the mouth is very slippery. It comes from time to time. It's inspiring~
How can Lily and Vivian survive?
No, it seems a bit short!
