Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 178 177. Review of "I Became the Second Round Boss"

What I recommend to you today is the work with the largest increase in Sanjiang collection.

Listen to the title, it's quite high-sounding, right?
"I Became the Second Round Boss", author: Baolan Haiyang, level 3 author.

Category: Light Novel-Original Fantasy.

【Introduction】

Whenever he dreams, he will become the second-round BOSS of a certain game.

He is the sleeping god of R'lyeh in the sea, the Old One in the game, and the lord of crazy dreams.

As the game becomes more and more popular, more and more fanatical believers call on his name and sacrifice various sacrifices to reality.

Every time Kemon woke up, there were more strange things in the house.

As a UP host who does unboxing and review, I often worry about this.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: A Sacrifice for Cthulhu. The protagonist, C'mon, is a mediocre unboxing influencer on Bilibili, his videos rarely getting played. After working late into the night to finish a video, he falls into a deep sleep, his soul sinking to the depths of the ocean, landing inside a massive octopus. The system activates, and he becomes Cthulhu, the final boss of the second game. His stats are incredibly powerful, but he's 90% sealed by the Ancient Gods. A remote village prays to him, imploring Cthulhu to kill the adventurers.

Chapter 2: Strange Knowledge Increases. The next day, upon waking up, there was indeed a cat in his house, the very one the villagers had sacrificed to him. This cat could grant strange knowledge points, and in rare cases, even sublime knowledge. However, it wouldn't move. The protagonist had no choice but to continue recording his unboxing video.

Chapter 3: A Strange Way of Eating. The protagonist is a landlord who owns two buildings and lives a comfortable life. He just peeked downstairs and saw the eldest sister disinfecting the house. Her daughter, Momo, brought the protagonist breakfast and a small fish. The big-faced cat's strange eating habits surprised the protagonist.

Chapter 4: Another dream of the Deep Sea City. The protagonist and Momo played a game of PUBG for a while, then clicked on a video he had posted, only to find his stats were dismal. He fell asleep and fell into another dream, unable to identify the mysterious sea monsters of the Deep Sea City. And a new prayer arrived, this time about the story of the Kobolds.

Chapter 5, Video Evaluation Mission. The dog-headed village sacrifice was indeed a puppy. After comparison, the puppy also ate dried fish, a normal diet. The protagonist suddenly realized the existence of the system and found that it had issued a new mission.

Chapter 6: Thoughts Diligent. Seeing their sacrifice was successful, the people of Goutou Village assumed their request had been answered by the evil spirit, but it wasn't. They then learned that the neighboring village of Catface had also made a sacrifice, seemingly without a response. After this mental reassessment, the people of Goutou Village decided to change their offering.

Chapter 7: Evaluating the Big-Faced Cat. Following the assignment, the protagonist decided to evaluate the Big-Faced Cat. After filming the video, he worried about introducing strange information to viewers, so he asked a few people to test it. Everything seemed normal, so he started uploading the video. However, the shadows of the Momo mother and daughter downstairs were elongated, appearing a bit unusual.

Chapter 8 brings new news. The new video's views aren't ideal, and the protagonist falls asleep again, entering Deep Sea City and transforming into Mr. Ke. A ghost reports that eight nearby mountain villages have been infiltrated and become his fans.

Chapter 9: A Preliminary Explanation of the Summoning Conditions. The protagonist, in his habit of recording his own events in a small notebook, also noted the summoning conditions. The dog sent from the Kobold Village had grown from a puppy to a small teddy bear in a single day, while the cat remained the same. However, the video's views had increased significantly.

Chapter 10: Mr. Cthulhu's boring daily routine. The protagonist learns that the video's increased views are related to Momo's forwarding, so he shares his own. While playing PUBG with Momo, he is sacrificed. Meanwhile, the Kobold Village in the Cthulhu world finally succeeds in ambushing several adventurers.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Baolan Haiyang, a level 3 author, has written 5 works including "Early Landing in the Farming Game" and "Transformation Cartoonist System".

The number of words is not too long, and they are mostly light novels, with a history of eunuchs.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of the protagonist, Kemon, who accidentally becomes the villain boss of the game world - the evil god Cthulhu. Although his body and abilities are sealed, he can still influence many creatures in the deep sea city, respond to the requests of the surrounding villagers, and even invade the player's dreams.

The protagonist is actually an unknown UP host and a rich man with two buildings. After receiving the sacrifices from the villagers one after another, he began to conduct video evaluations of the sacrifices, which is also a task requirement.

It was just vaguely known that the mother and daughter tenants downstairs were not simple individuals, and they might have been influenced by the identity of the protagonist, Mr. Ke.

Character characteristics
The protagonist's personality is generally more of a homebody and loser. Even with his abilities, he hasn't been inspired to do anything earth-shattering, and remains self-isolating at home due to the pandemic. His hobbies include being a YouTuber and playing games, and he finds the joys of being single. There aren't any major plot twists or romantic avenues, so far.

Style characteristics
This book brings together elements such as Cthulhu, sacrifice, summoning, daily life, and UP masters. Daily life is the main theme, and the game world does not have too many exciting plots.

The sacrifices of several villages and the challenges of several waves of players were powerless in front of the great evil god.

Therefore, it is a little bland.

In terms of language, there aren't many funny moments, and the techniques for picking up girls are not shown.

【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】

I originally wanted to write about the "Horror Online Novel" that the pure Xiaolong recently released, but since it involves the word "horror", I felt it was not safe enough, so I put it aside.

I chose to write the "Second Week" because the above article was also a work by Sanjiang during the same period.

Publishing the two together is a small comparative analysis.

Sanjiang is an important recommendation position before male-oriented works are put on the shelves, and ordinary works cannot be put there.

I also dreamed of going to Sanjiang, but it never came true.

But to be honest, not all of Sanjiang's works are good.

The first orders for some books are just a few hundred.

Writing this, I can’t help but feel a little sad.

If it's my book, the average subscription would be several hundred, ten thousand a day would be ok?
Man, that's it.

Before getting it, you are full of expectations; after getting it, you feel bored.

Of these two books, I actually prefer the first one, "Mystery Novel".

Because Cthulhu is so niche, if it weren't for the popularity of "Lord of Mysteries" that brought this category to the fore, not many people would be willing to try writing in this area.

There won’t be more readers looking for such works.

Yesterday a reader left a message under "Disaster Shelter" saying that he was looking for this kind of book to read.

So, this article was written.

In fact, Sanjiang also has another heavyweight work in this issue, "Infinite Blood Core".

Unfortunately, the book is not suitable for promotion on major self-media platforms because the author seems to have been permanently banned.

Finally, please add some collections, I want to break a thousand!
