How should I put it, it can be regarded as a review, just chatting for a while, but the chatting will only focus on this book, not too many other things, it will not be so organized, and it will not be so whiny.
First of all, the tone of this book is not purely refreshing. The author also said in the first chapter that there will be a lot of "knives", just to give readers some psychological expectations.
The stories in each volume are different, so the tone is also different. Some are depressive, some are deranged, some are dark, and some are hopeful. After all, it is all astronomy, and the tone should be different, otherwise there will be no diversity, and the content of each volume is different. The world will be mainly original, supplemented by tributes, and there will be very few jokes. My first big book was criticized for having too many bad jokes, and my second big book also had bad jokes, which is not good.
So use this trumpet to open a more serious book.
As for the tribute, I think everyone can see that in the first volume, there are some famous lines in "Sword Rain". Old Man Han's "Sea Pillow Giant Mansion" is the line of Noodle Killer Lei Bin, the magician Liang Neta Cai Shishi, Bishui The sword girl Shuibi paid a small tribute to the drizzle,
The character design of the blind man and the sword are based on "Defiant" and "Zatoichi".
In addition, I estimate that many good brothers and good brothers have read the first volume and have the spirit to pay tribute to Showa style Kamen Rider, especially my dearest good brother book friend "I can't help creating", I'm sorry, brother, that star I didn’t type out the number, and I’ve actually always wanted to ask brother why your avatar is Baby Xuan Mo? (Off topic).
As for the setting of the first volume [Martial arts warriors who seize bodies and turn into monsters], I actually saw this setting when I read "Hybrid" by Zuo Mohui, the author of cvm. I wanted to use it here as an easter egg, and I also want to emphasize it. , is a tribute and reference, absolutely not copied, if I have to say it, it is definitely a blend. (self-deprecating)
But no book friends found it, so I explained it in this chapter, and also strongly recommended "Hybrid" to pay tribute to the work of Kamen Rider. The title of my fortieth chapter [Breaking Shell] is also an easter egg, and it also comes from "Hybrid" [EPISODE6 Breaking the Shell], I have only read the first few chapters of his new book "The Raven Speaks" and I am still saving it. Moreover, this book is a spiritual tribute to Ultraman, so I also have a spiritual tribute to Nexus. The idea of this work, but obviously, I am frustrated, and writing it will only make me more frustrated. (wry smile)
As for the setting of Kung Ling, it’s a bit like the stand-in in “JOJO”, right? But what I originally thought of was the special effects in martial arts dramas. For example, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon were shot to create special effects like a dragon. But if you think about it carefully, the avatars in "JOJO" actually have similar special effects in martial arts dramas. Sex, and then I thought of the setting of the boxing skills in Uncle Long's movie "Fist Master", as well as the setting of some books in which the skills have become conscious. After these combinations, the martial arts appeared.
Back to the topic, if there are blatant appearances of other work worlds, then there is no doubt that it will only be a "narration" type of jokes or tributes.
Of course there will be some references, but they will become specious. For example, if I have the idea of starting a Heroic Spirit War or something, can I use the Holy Grail War? Of course not, so these references are just reskinned, but the content must be original and a small tribute.
In addition, let me give you a little preview. The protagonist will not be a lone ranger. There will be teammates in the future, but they will join one after another. Moreover, the teammates are not all from the same world, so there will also be plots where the blind man goes to other worlds to help. Of course The original world where the blind man lives is a parallel world. There are no monsters and monsters in the world. The main theme is a peaceful and peaceful world.

Then some readers who read this may ask: "Then why not put the cheerful ones in the first volume and put such depressing ones in the first volume?"
Answer: "It's to filter the readership. If I am so happy in the first volume, then I will definitely not be as good as me when I get sad later. It would be rude not to reply to comments, but it would be too tiring to reply, so I'd better start at the beginning. It’s better to make it clear.”
Question: "Isn't it okay if we don't write about depression?"
Answer: "Yes, but wouldn't it be too monotonous to write about things like everyone is happy? I know that everyone reads novels for entertainment, and life is fucked up enough. Who wants to read novels and feel fucked up? I understand, and I agree, but I am already past the age of reading enjoyable articles. If you let me write, it’s not that I can’t write, but I really don’t want to, because not wanting to lead to inability. In this kind of mentality, I will only feel incomplete.
As we all know, not being completely happy means being completely unhappy.
So back to the topic, novels are controlled by the author, but life is completely uncontrollable. Whether you are sad or happy, life is there, so I write about depression and sadness because I hope everyone can see the essence of life and still love life.
I am not praising suffering. The only real value of suffering is [overcoming by everyone]. Other than that, it is all false. It is just shit. Life is cheaper than an ant, but this shit is higher than a mountain. So I hope everyone Being able to climb over or around the mountain of shit without being defeated by suffering,
Isn’t life like this, with all the ups and downs, bitters, spicy and salty? Complain about it, reality is often more magical than fiction,
above. "
···Newline.
In fact, I have seen in the comment section that the first volume is depressing, which is true, because when I wrote the outline of the first volume, I reviewed some classic martial arts movies, including "The Broken Sword Man", "Yellow River Hero", "Double Heroes" "Flag Town Swordsman", "Sword Rain", and "The Defiant One" are some of the best domestic martial arts works, and you can also watch sword and halberd movies, such as "Zotoichi", "Asura Snow Princess", "Hidden Sword and Ghost Claw", There are also reviews of "Kill Bill 1 and 2" and the four "John Wick" movies.
I have to mention here that "John Wick" is said to be a killer universe, but if you look at it, you can see that it is actually a "jianghu", except that the protagonists are killers and their martial arts are replaced by firearms.
In addition, there are some other movies such as "Domestic Lingling Paint", "Kung Fu", and some movies that have nothing to do with martial arts, such as the horror movies "Coming", "The Curse", "The Medium" and "Red Clothes". "Little Girl", "Southern Witch", etc.
What can I say about the movie "Curse"? It's very clever, but it's really jarring. If you haven't seen it, if you have taboos, I highly recommend you not to watch it. If you insist on watching it, go to the nearest temple or Taoist temple the next day to ask for good luck. That’s fine,
There's nothing taboo about it, but I wouldn't recommend watching it if you have secret fears. Anyway, it's pretty irritating.
Then the movie "The Medium" is really good, and the atmosphere is really well created, but the ending is not so happy.
As for "Southern Witch", it's not scary, but it can still feel a kind of nostalgia.
I have also watched both parts of "Zongxie", but my personal evaluation is that the first one is not as good as the second one.
As a digression, there are also works such as reviewing the book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and the original work of "American Gods", so the myths and legends of the Qiqi people mentioned in the first volume are also a kind of expression. There is also a word count for water, but not white water. Daqi's spiritual energy was revived in the first volume, so it would be reasonable to have a mythical revival in the follow-up, right?
Of course, it is precisely because of watching horror movies that there will be a separate volume later on about modern urban folklore and weird stories. I want to kill evil spirits like the big black Buddha to relieve my anger. (I had this idea from the beginning. I also made a book outline and wanted to sign a contract, but it didn’t work out, so I had to put it on hold. This book can be taken out and revised before use.)
Speaking of which, the strange tales and folk myths in Taiwan are really fascinating. Among the folk customs, there are Tiger Lord, Eight Generals, the Chief of Officers, and Zhong Kui. The noodles and fish are really interesting. Of course, myths and legends also have the duality of true and false. If you believe it, it will be true if you don't believe it, but it will be false. I won't discuss it too much here.
Returning to the topic, I used a blind man to set the tone because I watched "Defiant" and then looked for "Zatoichi" to watch. One is Kitano Takeshi, the other is "Blood Smoke Street" and "One Piece" by Katsu Shintaro. The prototype of General Fujitora in "Katsu Shintaro" is Zatoichi.
There is also Ayase Haruka's "The Female Zatoichi", but this one is not good. If you want to see Ayase Haruka's face, it is highly recommended.
"Hidden Sword and Ghost Claw" is an old movie. The title of the film is "One Style of Sword Technique" (Why is the Japanese sword called "Kendo"? It's really strange), but this style of swordsmanship doesn't appear until the end. I don't know the details of this move. Having said that, even the tone of the first half of the movie is bland and even a bit depressing, but this part is so bland but has a long aftertaste later on. Those who are interested can watch it on their own.
The "Ghost Sword Hidden Claw" in the first volume was obtained by changing the title sequence of the film. Some book friends discovered it, so it can be regarded as an easter egg.
So where does depression come from? Coming from Tsui Hark's "The Broken Knife", this "Broken Knife" is very dark and depressing. Even if you have a knife in your hand, you can't cut it. However, this part of the oppressive darkness has been replaced by "Defiant", "Zatoichi" and "Zatoichi". The chivalry in "The Hero of the Yellow River" is neutralized. Although it is still very depressing, at least the sword can cut through part of it.
But don’t worry, the depression won’t last long, just like my last relationship two to three years ago only lasted a few months and ended. Now I feel so good about being single.
The next volume won't be so depressing.
As for the easter eggs, I won’t talk about anything else. If you are interested, you can look for them yourself.
I think the most obvious easter egg is the blind man's name [Qin Xiya], which comes from Wan He Tianyi's "Xiya Xia". On the one hand, it means a knight, but in Qin Xiya's case, it also means "blind".
But when I think that "Xi Ya Xia" can be regarded as the tears of the times, I can't help but shed some tears.
I originally wanted to eat and play until I grow old, but I didn't expect that I am already so old. (26 years old, author of Fighting Street)

In addition, this volume summarizes the shortcomings.
The fighting is weak and the writing is mediocre. I will continue to use materials to increase my proficiency. There is no need to wash this. A friend commented that it is starting to focus on realistic fighting and suggested that I listen to more audio books and Mr. Jin Yong’s works. I have not started this yet.
There are also problems with the plot logic. The biggest reason is why Ling Dang was not taught martial arts to protect himself at the beginning. However, I did patch it in [Chapter 32 Linjiang City], which also brought out the blind man’s psychological shortcomings and life experience. But the patch was still not applied early enough.
No one is perfect, and the same goes for blind people. When I came here at the age of eighteen, I was immature and had selfish motives. There would also be Riddlers operating, but they would all change.
I originally wanted to thank the book friends who recommended monthly tickets, but it was really tiring to read and type them out one by one, so I skipped it.
Lao Ni (Lao Qin) would like to thank you, but please don’t call me Ni Ge.
All I can say is that I tried my best to make this book better and not disappoint all the book friends who support it.
——
There are also some off-site remarks, but they are related to the book. I try to be as objective as possible.
I just set a 100-point speech value at the beginning, but there was nothing I could do about it. Some of the comments seemed really annoying. I didn’t want to reply at first, but I had some time to reply at the time. The previous comments were quite reasonable.
At the beginning, I asked why I didn’t stay in an inn when I was trying to keep warm in a ruined temple. I said jokingly that it was because I was stingy. In fact, the reason was that Boss Gao was not in the inn, and the blind man and Ling Dang couldn’t show off their faces. Plus, they didn’t have much money. The reason was that they didn’t have much money. Buying real estate, this was patched later and mentioned in the summary, so the logic is rounded out.
The book friend felt sorry for the girl who was cold, but how could the blind man let the bell get cold?
Also, the bell in the first chapter is written on the palm of the hand. Being able to have time to write on the palm of the hand means that the beggars did not swarm them. Anyone who has been in a group fight knows that someone must start a group before the war starts. If no one starts a group, why not wait and see first?
You see, this is the disadvantage of not writing details. Details will always be picked out. I don’t want to make people feel too nagging by not writing too many details. I will consider the amount of details later.
Then I replied to the comment "What should a girl do if she lives in a broken temple if she gets cold?" I asked, is there a possibility that the girl is not cold? After all, how could a blind man sit back and watch a bell become cold?
You see, this is the disadvantage of not writing details.
But then I was disgusted by a comment that included [Double Exercise for Heating], so I started a direct comment and was permanently banned. I added and deleted the full comment.
Whenever I write a book and you talk about two-person sports, I will discuss with you what postures to use, but this is not the case. The tone is different, so this [two-person sports] is really bad.
It is human nature to make love, but it should also come naturally if there is emotion. If you go straight to the base without any foreshadowing, what is the difference between watching a short movie with advertisements on your body? Damn, in the Minotaur plot, you have to get to know each other first before starting a fight.
To describe the relationship between Bell and Blind Man as a double sport is really a stain and makes me feel sick.
Later, my anger subsided and I came back a little bit, but I no longer planned to go back to that trumpet account.
Then, at the suggestion of an author friend, I adjusted the speech value to no threshold, so everyone can speak freely.
Some people say that what I write is very childish. In fact, I want to ask what does it mean to be childish? You say my fighting is a joke and I admit that I am weak in fighting. You say my plot is a joke and I admit that I fix the logic problems before fixing them. You say my writing is mediocre and I admit it, but can you please tell me exactly where the joke is? I don’t want Riddler, but I was too lazy to ask so I just deleted the comment.
If you want to change my mentality, I will see how my mood is that day. If you are not in a good mood, I will also change your mentality. If you are in a good mood, I won’t waste time.
In short, I am indeed a loser, I still have a lot to learn, and I also want to make progress.
Speaking of which, it has been ten years since I created my writer account. I created it when I was in high school and college. I used to write casually for fun. It was normal for me to just write when I didn’t want to write. I really started coding when I left my job the year before last. after,
It took one year to complete the first work of the big star "It's a Chinese Studio, Not a Cthulhu" (it's a pure suture monster story, and you have to be able to read the brainwaves).
However, it was at that time that I really realized my many shortcomings. The opportunity to publish this book was that the results of the new large-scale book "Life in the Liaozhai Studio" were too bad, so I temporarily stopped reading that book and changed it. The style is enough to make the money, and when the money is almost gone, finish the book as soon as possible.
I solemnly promise here that I will not be a eunuch, because I know that eunuchs lose their character and will fight to the death to escape.
You see, this is the disadvantage of many shortcomings,
That’s why I say that every current work is a practice, because I haven’t fully grown up yet, and I won’t be able to complete my growth until I can say it is an official work.
Just as I saw in the group of the author's old friends who have known each other for ten years, he said that my mind is full of pornographic waste, because there is a plot in the original version of the first chapter where I felt that Ling Ding's hand was cold and I thought it was my aunt. The author's old friend He said that aunt is not a yellow waste, but "she thinks she is an aunt when she holds hands and feels cold". I think he is right.
And based on the advice of a female netizen I have known for ten years, I learned a little about the awkwardness of male authors she rated. I am not so embarrassed in this section, which is a little bit lucky.
So I changed this plot, which is also a kind of ongoing growth. (I can be considered as correcting myself after I made a mistake, right?)
There's a lot more I want to say, but I want to rub some numbness, so I'll stop here.

A small preview of the next volume,
It's a killer universe, but not an ordinary killer universe.

That's about it, thank you all for reading this.
