"The Big Thief", lyrics by Fanzhou, level 5 author.

Category: Games-Virtual Online Games.

【Introduction】

Official version: Reborn to play online games, be one step ahead in everything!
I have a ring that can not only make me a thief, but also allow me to learn druid skills.

Wandering in the shadows, I can sneak attack and collect heads, transform into a seal, dive into the water to open treasure chests, and when I'm bored, I can even turn into a cute little leopard...

Don't chase me, beautiful hunter. I'm a brutal thief and I really can't be your baby...

Funny version: Late at night, the child was crying non-stop. The mother tried to persuade him but to no avail, so she yelled, "Cry again! If you cry again, Lu Li will come!"

The child suddenly gasped and fainted.

Who is Lu Li? That's right, he's the brutal thief, feared both inside and outside the game.

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: A Big Dream. The protagonist, Lu Li, had a three-year dream in which he toiled through in-game quests to cure his sister's illness, but to no avail. Upon waking, he immediately applied for a position at the Xingyue Guild, promising to earn 20 gold within a week and help establish the guild early in the game.

Chapter 2: Ryan's Kite. The protagonist applied for a job and signed a contract that felt like a bet, purely for the sake of the expensive gaming helmet. When the game "Dawn" officially launched, the protagonist chose not the druid of his previous life, but a rogue. He understood the advantages of a rogue and knew how to advance and retreat. As for the newbie quest, he took an unconventional approach, choosing a rather unfortunate kite-like task.

Chapter 3, Druid's Ring. The protagonist obtains a quest item, a kite, not for the quest, but to transform it into a hang glider. He plans to jump off a cliff into the Endless Abyss, and after dying many times, he finally obtains the Druid's Ring. This ring allows him to learn certain Druid skills, transform, and, more importantly, upgrade its quality.

Chapter 4: Skill Completion. The protagonist chose Free Mode, a high-difficulty attack mode where damage is proportional to skill completion. With immense patience, he managed to maintain a 70% skill completion and 90% skill damage. When he reached level 1, the Druid skill book he'd requested from the guild finally appeared.

Chapter 5: The Seal-Transforming Thief. The protagonist receives a seal-transforming skill book from the guild elder, much to the dismay of the group's sole druid player, a reckless rich kid. Ignoring his provocation, the protagonist chooses a deserted spot, transforms, and dives into the water. His promise to earn twenty gold within a week is largely due to his treasure-hunting adventures.

【Brief Comment】

Fanzhou is a lyricist and a Level 5 author. He has written two works, "The Big Thief" and "Monster Chat Group".

The Great Thief is his first book, and from his own words, it is clear that he is a new author.

This book has 230,000 collections on Qidian.com, 320,000 collections on Shucheng.com, 700,000 followers, and 17 alliance leaders. This book directly promoted him from a Level 1 author to a Level 5 author. The writing time was from March 2015 to December 2018. The total number of words is 4.4 million. The update is not very frequent because he is not a full-time writer.

His motivation for writing was simple: he was out of books to read. He enjoyed playing online games and reading online game novels, so he tried writing after running out of books, and he unexpectedly succeeded.

This book was featured on Sanjiang back in the days when Sanjiang recommended tickets were available, which was much more valuable than today's Sanjiang recommendations. This book was also featured twice in major promotions and once on Qyue's omnichannel promotion.

It can be seen that this book was very popular around 2016.

The game "Dawn" in this book is based primarily on "World of Warcraft." The mainstream settings in online game novels of this period were either virtual AR or based on "World of Warcraft."

Because there are also competitive games like LOL, DNF, CS, etc., but they belong to another small category of e-sports.

Back then, my friend persuaded me to play for the duration of a game card, but I gave up because I couldn't adapt to the shaking of the 3D head.

But it cannot be denied that in the past, people were often seen forming teams to play this game in Internet cafes.

The protagonist chose a thief and got a druid ring, which gave him the ability to transform, etc., which can still bring back many memories of his youth.

However, from now on, the starting experience of this book is not as wonderful as LOL and PUBG.

Therefore, this book is quite popular among readers and is indeed quite niche.

【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】

This is a relatively early game novel that draws on some earlier novels of the same type.

Therefore, it is difficult to completely get out of the shadow of those works.

But overall, this book still has its own characteristics and is suitable for friends who are interested in writing online game novels to study.
