I would like to recommend to my fellow book friends a book that suits Wu Jian's own taste, "My Name is Ren", ISBN 1004173440.
The Western fantasy genre currently seems to be a lord farming style, but it does not climb the technological tree, and it is not a novice. It is anti-routine. It mainly focuses on political planning, power struggle, and the rhythm of competition of wits. The author made it clear that he does not want to write a novel.
Bai Wen (this is enough, collect it first and then talk about it).
One more thing, the author of this book wrote "The Great Pope". Old fantasy readers should know this title when they hear it. Yes, it is the book that insisted on writing 1 million words but did not sign a contract. Many people are regretting it -
—Fortunately, this book was signed.
People who understand should know the author's level.
Everyone knows that Wu Jian recommends books that he has read and approved. The old rule is to post book reviews:
First of all, don't read the introduction - Wu Jian has always been very inferior to his ability to write introductions, but after reading his introduction, I found that my introduction is actually not that... (cough cough cough cough... I'm here to promote books)
, let’s be polite).
The beginning of the story is very simple, and even has some farming-style routines: time travel to become a noble, as the last member of a failed family in the political struggle, he is demoted to a sinful city on the border, trying every means and by any means to seize power and wealth, trying to open up a new world.
Re-emerge in the Empire.
The content at the beginning is very exciting. As a weak lord who has just arrived, the protagonist cleverly uses a forged wealth to provoke bloody infighting among the major forces in the city and profit from it. This part of the content will not be detailed. But in this conflict, various
The small characters involved are very vividly portrayed, and the interaction between people is the main reason for the development of the incident. People die for wealth, birds die for food, profit and love, wisdom and coma are entangled alternately. This is what it means.
The next content is to expand the economic base, stimulate economic and trade development through advanced tax systems, and use franchises (a clever method used by Britain before the industrial revolution) to build interest groups and form monopolies, and even provide private funds to illegal armed forces.
These are the processes that scholars are fond of talking about as European countries developed from a feudal system to a modern capitalist system. They are commendable.
In terms of writing, it can only be described as meticulously crafted. The description of details in the book is almost to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Personally, I think it may become an obstacle to reading. Fortunately, this obstacle gradually reduced after more than ten chapters.

The setting of the world is the traditional late Middle Ages, a quasi-Western empire with slavery, parliament, preliminary legal system, and professional bureaucracy.
(meme), but in the author's few strokes (dragon crystal as a new energy source), the dawn of science has been initially seen.
The power system follows a more orthodox setting. The protagonist does not know how to fight... but he is suspected to be a membrane mage. No immortality has been found yet. One person can destroy a country, one person can destroy 58,000, and ten people can destroy the world and tear apart the continent (
Hey!). Judging from the recent siege battles, there is no widespread personal heroism. For example, a certain "Haskar never dies with his bare hands" archer carried a seven-year-old child on his back against thousands of enemies.
The situation of fearless killing (Hey!) in the army is generally quite balanced.
The setting of God has not yet been revealed (the God of Light is carelessly called "the old guy" by mortals, but it seems that he is very tolerant), but the power of the church is beginning to take shape.
In short, this is a dark and gothic story. The protagonist is mature and sinister. He is definitely not one moment shrewd, one moment mentally retarded, one moment a virgin, one moment a coquettish one, one moment begging for maternal love, and the other for fatherly love (Hey!). Secondly, the protagonist.
He has a strong aura, maximum subjective initiative, full motivation, and is good at planning. He works step by step in the blood and conspiracy, climbing all the way, instead of just following the crowd and going wherever he goes. He has no motivation, no goal, no fighting spirit, but he still has nothing to lose.
The little weakling boy of the Virgin (Hey!). What’s rare is that there is no big golden finger. The protagonist purely relies on his sophisticated and shrewd methods to plan and fight. Unlike some people who are born with a strong physique and super-powerful brains to master certain things.
The unknown imba power, the immortal little strong life, and a pretending to be a brat with a potentially invincible advanced profession (Hey, hey, hey!).
Let me talk about my poisonous points below:
1. There is a prophecy point in the first chapter: "This is the first xxx to be called xxx" "History will witness the xxx after xxx" "No one knows what this xxx will be like in the future
"xxx"...
2. Some plot descriptions are a bit taken for granted, and are a bit deliberately intended to lower the villain’s IQ and increase the halo of the protagonist, but they are harmless and do not affect reading.
3. Although the love scenes are very energetic at the beginning of the third chapter, the emotional scenes are still relatively blunt, but since I don’t have a sword... I am not qualified to say anything about it.
4. Chapter name...cough cough...we must have the majesty of serious fantasy...cough cough...
5. The protagonist's name - "I am the Seven-Star Sword xx!"
ps Wujian has caught up with the latest chapter, 180,000 words. If you don’t want to see the seedlings, you may as well fatten up and kill them. Currently, we have signed a contract, and the updates are stable. Unlike some update times, the number of words is random. If you die, you will not be updated. It will take three days.
An unscrupulous author who gets into trouble at both ends (Hey, hey, hey!)
One sentence evaluation: careful planning, high-quality details, smooth plot, vivid characters, no hard work, sublimation but no upgrade. In addition, the author resists novices and resists cool writing. What are you waiting for?
(Writing book reviews is also very tiring. Can I stop reading tomorrow? Everyone just happens to read "My Name is Rain"... (fades out)...)
