Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 737: Comments on "The Naming of Night"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

What I want to talk to you about today is a new book.

"The Naming of the Night", Talking Elbow, platinum writer.

Category: Urban-supernatural powers.

【Introduction】

In the blue and purple neon, under the dense steel sky, the front end of the data torrent is the world after the scientific and technological revolution, and it is also the boundary between reality and illusion.

Steel and body, past and future.

Here, the outer world and the inner world coexist, and everything in front of you is like a wall of time.

Darkness gradually shrouded.

But you have to understand, my friend, that we cannot deal with darkness with tenderness, but with fire.

【Brief Comment】

This book was published on April 18th. At that time, I was still out of town and only posted a Weibo headline.

There wasn't much time to delve into it.

A friend left me a message yesterday, wanting to hear how I evaluated this book.

I remember he was the one I left a message for in my review of Chen Dong’s new book “The Other Side of Deep Space”.

I was quite touched that someone would make such a reasonable request to me.

His biggest doubt is: Is "The Naming of the Night" the third part of "I Am a Big Player" and "Please Spare Me, Lord"?
I was stunned for a moment.

When this book was first published, the official public account conducted an exclusive interview and asked Elbow this question.

I remember his explanation was: the story of this book takes place hundreds of years after "The First Sequence" and can be regarded as a sequel to "The First Sequence".

The protagonist's name, Qingchen, and the Qing family in the otherworldly world allude to "The First Sequence." Some even speculate that Qingchen is a descendant of Qingzhen. Regardless of whether this is the case, it's perfectly acceptable to directly incorporate the story.

So, the relationship between these two books is very deep.

Another point: this book probably doesn't have a strong connection to "The King Spares Me" (大王免命). If we have to find a commonality, it's Los Angeles. This is the setting for every Elbow's book. Los Angeles, or perhaps Los Angeles Foreign Language School.

This book does have a deep connection with "I'm a Big Player".

Many people speculate that the founder of the organization behind Li Shutong in the other world is Lü He, the protagonist of "I Am a Big Player." Elbow's real name is Ren He, and his son is Ren Xiaosu.

He had high hopes for "I Am a Big Player" and it was the work that made him famous. Although it was "The King Spare Me a Life" that made him a great star, "The First Sequence" made him a platinum star.

However, people always remember the past, especially the moment when they first achieved glory in life.

Otherwise, using one's own name as the protagonist is certainly a sign of high hopes, but is it pure narcissism?
Moreover, "I'm a Big Player" borrows a lot of literary elements and adds a lot of game elements, which are all in line with what he expected before creating "The Naming of the Night", which is to return to the game theme.

I always thought he was going to submit a game category, but what he ended up producing was a story about the surface world and the inner world.

He's even actually developing his own series of novels.

Many authors have the ambition to write their own series of novels, to connect all their works.

This not only proves your storytelling ability, but also proves your achievements.

Moreover, there are almost no online writers who can create a series of works in the urban category and survive safely.

Elbow's new book is still a typical urban online novel. The setting and plot are very popular. It can be said to be a benchmark work worthy of learning and reference in current urban novels.

While its contemporary work, "Steady, Don't Wave," suffers from a clichéd style, "Deep Space Beyond" offers a familiar flavor. Hopefully, it's not the fourth installment in the "Shadow of the Heavens" series. Lao Liu's "I Really Didn't Want to Be Reborn" is nearing completion, and his new book releases are a bit slow. Lao Ying is still taking a break, so his books haven't been on my recommended list.

Therefore, there is nothing special to look forward to in the urban category for now.

【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 book is really good.

When Elbow is no longer a joke writer, his books are still worth reading and make him look particularly youthful.

Among the 41 platinum writers, his books will be popular for at least five years and will not fade away.
This FLAG is definitely valid and much more stable than the SSS level one I chose before!
Note: The goal of the SSS level is to update the game for ten days and obtain 500,000 monthly tickets.

When I gave up treatment, no activity could affect me!
