212. Commenting on "The World of the Gods"
Today I would like to recommend a book about the gods.
"The World of the Gods", Author: Eternal Flame, Great God Writer.
Category: Fantasy - Oriental Fantasy.
【Introduction】
On Mount Olympus, at the center of the world, Zeus, the king of the gods, grinned at the worlds with a spear of thunder in his grip.
Before him, the gods were like a forest.
In the Silver Hall of the North, Odin on the High Throne holds the Celestial Spear and looks down on the world.
In his eyes, there is endless wind and snow.
On the banks of the Nile in the south, Amun, who is at the helm of the solar ship, has his eyes on the Aegean Sea.
At his feet were dry bones.
In the land of two rivers, Mazda, the lord of light and wisdom, rules the eternal fire and looks westward.
His hero, King Gilgamesh, carried an oracle on his back on his expedition to Greece, and his ships were like the sea.
In Plato's Academy, a young man named Su Ye stepped up the mountains and reached the top.
【Golden Ten Chapters】
Chapter 1, Sober. Autumn in the city of Athens, Greece, the blue sky is majestic, and the clouds and rivers are long. The protagonist Su Ye crossed over, his career had just improved in his previous life, he went to Greece to play, and was taken away by the tsunami. In this life, he really came to Greece, but it was the Greece of the world of the gods. But he is just a poor kid. Therefore, the first chapter of this book is very similar to "Confucianism and Taoism".
Chapter 2, Death Threats. Parents die unexpectedly, someone comes to ask for an account, and the servant in the protagonist's family turns against water. They beat him up and agreed to wait for the protagonist to raise money. After thinking twice, the protagonist realizes that things are not simple, and these people are probably not just coming for the house.
Chapter 3, The Magic Book. The protagonist digs out a magic book in the room, and a small old fairy flies out of it, which is the notice of the new semester of Plato's Academy. He was a student at Plato's Academy, but he had not yet begun to study magic. Now he is still facing the dilemma of raising money, and according to the scattered method, he has found a relatively reliable person.
Chapter 4, Yourself. The person he went to seek was the owner of the restaurant where his parents worked, Mr. Kelton. He was a silver warrior. The protagonist comes to the door on the grounds that he has a way to raise the profile of the restaurant.
Chapter 5, Bargaining The protagonist's bargaining chip is to have a secret recipe for a dish that will give all of Greece an extra dish, and Keldon, of course, doesn't believe it, but is willing to pay ten gold coins to buy it.
Chapter 6, Chef. The deal is made, the contract of the four gods is made, and as long as the protagonist can make a meal that satisfies Keldon, he will pay the protagonist 50 gold coins, as well as solve a person. The protagonist will personally experiment with gastronomy.
Chapter 7, Food Completion. The protagonist asks Keldon to find five faithful people and start making the meal, beating eggs, stirring egg whites, olive oil, lemon juice, and salad dressing. That's what gastronomy is.
Chapter 8, The Real Taste. Keldon and the chef had tasted the salad dressing, and they didn't think it was a delicacy. The protagonist points out that there is still no honey added. The chef was so excited that he added honey himself to make the most delicious salad dressing, and then tossed a bowl of salad. The favorite salad of the Greeks, with the salad dressing, is almost about to take off.
Chapter 9, I don't know how to eat Kelton. The protagonist mocks the boss Keldon for not understanding food, and the chef agrees. He goes to make roast pork and grilled tuna belly, and the protagonist concocts a salad dressing with a stronger sweet and sour flavor, and everyone eats it together.
Chapter 10, Transaction Completion. The food was indeed a sensation, but the agreement signed in the end only gave the protagonist 300 gold coins to repay the money, and sent guards to send the protagonist to repay the money. The others were headless checks, and the two did an excellent job of negotiating risk-averse.
[Brief comment]
The synopsis of the new book is spectacular, and it really has a feeling of the world of gods, but it is not very understandable.
I've seen some similar movies, "Battle of the Gods", "Ragnarok", "Thor", "Poseidon" and so on.
A lot of people, that's all.
Because, really few people liked the network of that period.
The book begins with a lot of legendary characters, but the author has simplified them in order to make it easier for readers to remember.
But in fact, for readers who don't know about Greek mythology and Roman mythology, there is not much difference.
Needless to say, I remember to live with the famous.
Regarding the problem that people's names are difficult to remember, this is a common problem of all Western fantasy themes.
It's the same with "Master of Mysteries", where a few people remember Klein Moretti and his siblings.
However, the protagonist of "World of the Gods" is named Su Ye, which is still very memorable, a bit like a "leaf".
The world structure and material preparation of this book are very rich, which shows that the author has put a lot of effort into it.
It is also a very interesting story to include the difference between the Athenian nobles and the paupers in terms of clothing and food, the question of housing determining the household registration, the disagreement between magic and warriors, and even the choice of currency avatars.
The story and logic of this book are very rigorous.
The protagonist connects the memories of the two worlds, reborn in the city of Athens, where his parents die unexpectedly, leaving behind a huge debt. The creditor actually wanted his house, and without it, he would not have the right to live in Athens, and he would not be able to enter a magic school and become a magician. So the real enemy is hiding inside the magic school, and the cause of death of the protagonist's parents is also full of conspiracy.
In order to pay off the debt, the protagonist finds a reliable restaurant owner, provides a peerless secret recipe, and reaches a cooperation agreement. The boss sends out a powerful soldier to help the protagonist successfully solve the debt problem. The protagonist activates the elven talent from the ruined space, providing an extraordinary magical qualification for admission.
The new book is such a story with a Western tone, but it includes oriental fantasy, which shows that everyone is really respectful of the fantasy classification.
To add that in the 2019 keyword of the single chapter, the author said that he also activated a skill [Awareness].
What to say before this year, half a lifetime of chaos. After this year, I will be clear.
I don't really understand what it means, maybe I want to express it, I will write better and better in the future, and I will be better than I am now, don't care about the present, focus on the future, and so on.
Or perhaps, like the angry banana, he has become aware of his own writing ceiling?
However, this book is well worth reading in terms of writing, structure, logic, etc.!
The premise is that you can accept the Western fantasy theme!
【Summary】
Writing is not easy, but do it and cherish it!
I'm Cang Yiwei, and I bring salt to "Cang's Whispering"!
Welcome to Book Review Paradise.
【Cang's Whispering】
Eternal Flame is an author I've been very fond of lately.
Whether it is "Confucianism, Taoism, and the Most Holy" or "The World of Gods", the author's ambition to write is very large, as if he wants to connect China and the West.
I've just read the latest chapter, and the protagonist has led the war between Persia and Greece with the girl Dibis.
He had long since become a majestic magician, but when he rode the unicorn, it was not so smooth.
And the appearance of the Throne of Hell is also very domineering, and there is a feeling of "Midnight Book House".
The first chapter of the book counts the characters of Greek mythology and Greek civilization, and the miracles they have created are pouring into the reader like a tidal wave.
This feeling is really exactly the same as "Confucianism and Taoism".
Perhaps, the author is trying to create this feeling, which is also his characteristic style of writing.
And, to do that, you really need to harness a lot of knowledge.
In "Giant Mirror-struck", I almost scrapped myself in order to write about the Seven Archangels and the Seven Demons.
Only the memory of the fish, dare to think about fart eating?
