When I received an invitation to write a review for "Alien Marriage Agency", I was holding a steamed bun in one hand and a cola on the table. After reading the book, I feel like this steamed bun and cola, which can be eaten, but not nutritious.

I gave "Outside" four stars, one star for the author to round out the story, two stars for the creativity is not bad, and three stars for the occasional in-depth dialogue, such as the description of the anthropomorphism and the alien's view of the family.

There is also a star of sympathy, sympathy for the author's almost shattered discipline to please the reader.

Because the book is not finished, I don't dare to say whether the story will be thin or not, but after reading the whole book, I feel that the author has to write a few words clearly: "I am here to please readers, I am a pure commercial novel".

It is certain that the author is not a novice, the writing and plot control are all based on experience and life experience, and he is very familiar with entertainment literature and film and television. If I'm not mistaken, the author is likely to be a bit of a gentleman.

But he just brushed it off.

Why?

In order to please the readers, he knows too well the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, too much about what the readers want to see and what they don't want to see, and too well www.biquge.info what it will be like to write heavy things, if this is his first book, I can be sure that he is prepared for the www.biquge.info readers of the Biqu Pavilion. The commercial elements of the book "Outside" can be said to be on the textbook level of how the author www.biquge.info please the reader.

When it comes to online readers,Everyone knows that readers and players are almost inseparable,In 2006, there were authors who summarized the three major elements necessary for online texts - (Y)(Y)、(Species) (horse)、(Update speed),Later, it added blood、Install B、Upgrade system, etc.,If there are these in an online article,Even if it's not popular, you can mix it up.。

Now let me sort out the process of pleasing readers in the book "Outside":

1. An adventure, wealth, status, and beauty become readily available. (Creative Beginning)

2. Through simple thought taming, the super high loyalty of the female companion is directly achieved. (Cultivation games)

3. Huge alien system setting (adventure game)

4. The plot of imitation StarCraft (strategy game)

5. Related to the archetype of torture and killing (action game)

6. Routines and upgrade-related settings (here it should be an imitation of the "Devil May Cry" upgrade mode, to be verified, it is a monster-fighting upgrade game)

7. Movie storyboard writing technique (quickly switch scenes to facilitate the plot to jump forward, and the author is extremely skilled at this point)

8, Xiao Huang rubbed the edge (this point does not need to be explained, if it is not a good investigation, it may be more)

9. Tribute to the classics (there are countless easter eggs in the book, so I won't list them)

10、

It seems that there is no foreshadowing, but there is foreshadowing everywhere to facilitate the development of the plot (like the boss of a marriage agency)

If you go on, you can still say 11, 12, 13...... To put it simply, the author has put in all the business elements that he can think of and use. Belle? Yes! Very much? Yes! A game with a large audience? Yes! Familiar with a classic look? Yes! Want to cool off once in a while? Yes!

If as a pastime reading, the author fulfilled his task. And I have to admit that it is not easy to put so many things in a pot of stew and tell the story round, especially the foreshadowing, the author obviously looks at the direction of the wind, and in the future, the reader will unfold whatever he likes to see, which foreshadowing will be carried out, which is very clever, but it is not easy, if it is not handled well, the book will become verbose.

It is precisely because the author handled it well, so I think it is a pity. I can vaguely see the little thing in the author's heart that is struggling, that kind of thing is called the literati style. Because I can't put this book in any category, interstellar streams? Kind of like, but no. Urban stream? Like, but not either. Infinite streaming, like, but not yet.

What is that? I don't know, and I'm sure the author himself doesn't. The www.biquge.info of Biquge has turned too many authors from literary youth into profit-seeking writing freaks, so there is "Wenqing is a disease and must be cured." This kind of comment that makes people cry and laugh, so there is a ridiculous experience of winning the world for those who are white. The same is true of the author of "Outside", where the occasional spark of thought is finally drowned in the vulgar language written to please the reader.

So the author can't classify himself, because he doesn't want to or doesn't realize it, I don't know, if it's really a pure commercial novel, he should follow the trend, he should grasp a genre, and he should start from the easiest genre to cut into. Maybe it was that bit of style that made him want to be his own faction, but he couldn't escape the shackles of business, and finally became an inclassimate.

At this point, I wonder if I'm reading too much into the author's heart, but I read something familiar to me between the lines, and I remember that I had a time when I wavered between elegance and vulgarity and finally succumbed to the market. Or just my wishful thinking and self-pity as a loser.

Either way, I can feel that the author of "Outside" can write better and more in-depth things, but it doesn't matter if the realm of elegance and common appreciation can't be done for a while, but it doesn't matter, I always want to see the author in the commercial torrent can insist on something that shouldn't be forgotten, but I ended up like a dizzy opium/slicing ghost, my hand in the air weakly trying to catch a little fantasy of not existing, and then I woke up from the hallucination and woke up like a ghost.

Enough, I don't even know what I'm writing. Maybe Wen Qing is really sick, I should take medicine.

Finally, I wish the book "Alien Marriage Agency" a great success, as a pastime reading, I still recommend it to readers.

A letter back to the three-legged cat commentator

Dear Mr. Three-legged Cat:

From the book review you gave me, I can read your anger against the author of the online article, although there is no praise in the whole review, in fact, it is clear and disparagement, for which I am deeply grateful and honored. Because I have never met you and do not know your identity and contact information, I can only put this article here, if you also come to Biquge www.biquge.info to read the book and pay attention to my works, I hope you can see the article and contact me, and sincerely hope to make friends with you.

I entrusted a friend of mine to find someone to write a long review, and my friend received a QQ reply after sending a comment in a certain author's Q group, which was sent in the group, but the next day QQ disappeared from the group, and no one knew everyone after asking everyone. It's so mysterious.

I think you should be a veteran author and reader, your comments hit the nail on the head and my heart jumped, I never thought that there was someone who knew my work better than myself, your experience and knowledge, and the understanding of the author's mentality made me extremely admired, and I would even like to call you a teacher.

Let me introduce myself to you.,I can only be regarded as an amateur author.,My job is also related to writing.,I'm a special writer for some websites.,I've written editorials.、Film reviews.、Soft advertising, etc.,I often read books in the Biquge to pass the time.,It's been ten years.,I used to try to post articles www.biquge.info www.biquge.info the Biquge.,But finally because of the lack of timeTJ.。

First of all, I want to say that my writing mentality is not as heavy as you said, I am in the spirit of playing tickets, I am a little ashamed to say, you said that I prepared before writing, in fact, I just thought of an idea and started writing with my own reading experience, because the pressure of life has been relieved recently, I can rest assured that I will write the whole book, and I am still relatively happy in the whole writing process.

So I don't agree with you that Bi Qu Ge www.biquge.info turned many young writers into self-interested writers, but your sentence reminds me of the classic comment of a Nobel laureate in literature when he rebuked grassroots writing, "A drooling, half-human, half-beast guy holds the statue of the goddess of literature and art, and proudly says: I am worthy of her, she is as stupid as me." ”

The debate about literary elegance has been going on for thousands of years, and it is not wrong to insist on the dream of literature since ancient times, but if the author can live a decent life by exchanging his writing skills for the capital of life, is it also right?

I don't know if you know the status of Chinese novels in ancient times, Chinese novels have never been an art before, and no Chinese novelists have been artists to self-effaced, the status of novels in the Chinese literary world is so low, in 1776, China's greatest literary critic Yao Nai, listed the works that constitute the entire literature, according to the style of "arguments, prefaces, recitals, books, prefaces, edicts, biographies, inscriptions, miscellaneous notes, inscriptions, praises, speeches, mourning" and other thirteen categories. What about novels? Step aside! It's not considered literature at all. Later, in the "Siku Quanshu" compiled by the order of Emperor Qianlong, novels were not included in this encyclopedia with literature as the main body, and novels were as difficult to reach as elegant as the side doors.

Why do I want to please readers, because readers are the people, and the novel grows from ordinary people, it is alive and flourishing. On the other hand, I have always felt that in ancient China, the literature of art was the exclusive property of the "scholars", an art in which they made and rewarded each other according to their own rules, and the emperors of China devised a way to enslave the "scholars" with their own learning, making the imperial examination the only way to promote the government, and the scholars were so busy reciting and imitating the dead, classical, and even fallacious dogmas that now seemed to them that their whole lives and thoughts were swallowed up.

Of course, I'm not saying that the "ya" you mentioned is such a rigid dogma, I believe that you are a broad-minded and open-minded thinker, and I just feel from your words that you are carrying too much weight on your back.

Whether a book is nutritious or not is never the author's own decision, and when it is written, it already belongs to the reader, just like Wang Bo said: "You first make the writing look good, and you go to TMD for other things." ”

The responsibility of the novel is to provide entertainment for the common people, and the entertainment mentioned here is not only to make the common people laugh, entertainment, but strictly speaking, it refers to the concentration and occupation of the attention of the whole mind, to bring enlightenment to the mind with vivid pictures and the meaning of life, and to bring encouragement to the spirit not with a few conversations about art alone, but to bring encouragement to the spirit with the stories of the people of various eras.

So what I'm going to do is do the same -- to present the story to people, in the simplest and most straightforward way possible. As for whether I forgot to insist on my literati style in order to please readers, I really didn't pay attention to this, but since you mentioned me, I will try to think more deeply in the future, it is difficult to appreciate elegance and vulgarity, but it doesn't prevent us from trying, right?

I hope to make friends with you, in a sense I want to find a balance, I am more profound, you are more relaxed, life is already very tired, why make it more tired? Don't you think it's easier for light-hearted people to get inspiration and impulses from each other?

As you said, I don't know if I'm right about your thoughts, maybe you're already a light-hearted person, and writing reviews is just a whim, but no matter what, your level is there, and that's enough, I appreciate and value you.

We hope to get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Yan Yuan is respectful
