Although fantasy novels have great influence, their literary attributes and value orientation have always been criticized by the cultural circle...
A big shot in the cultural circle praised someone for his good mystery writing.
A big shot in the cultural circle praised someone for his good short story writing.
However, no big name in the cultural world would ever praise a fantasy novel as being well-written, because compared to other genres, fantasy novels are of very low quality.
Judging from the chain of contempt, it is only better than the online literature on Earth.
But at this moment, the former president of the Literary and Art Association, the big shot among the big shots in the cultural world!
He personally endorsed "Journey to the West"!
For the fantasy realm...
This is the first time ever!
Just like a drop of water accidentally falling into boiling oil.
The Internet, which had been calm for a whole day, exploded in excitement!
"I thought I had opened a wonderful and exciting fantasy novel, but after reading it, I realized that I had opened a classic contemporary work!"
"Whoever dares to say that Hong Huang is the best myth in the world, I will break his head!"
"A novel that all men will like. It starts with the Monkey King returning from his apprenticeship. The whole story is full of high energy and passion. The Monkey King rides on a colorful cloud and has 72 transformations. He goes to the East China Sea, breaks into the underworld, makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and makes friends with various demon kings. His body is like black iron and his eyes are like fire. It makes my blood boil and my emotions are excited!"
"Women like him too. Sun Wukong is too perfect. He is kind and rebellious, smart and good at fighting. I want a boyfriend like Sun Wukong and give birth to a little monkey in the Flower and Fruit Mountain!"
"I think this is Chu Kuang's best work, an absolute masterpiece. I feel like my entire life is condensed in this Journey to the West. Life is simpler than Journey to the West, as you can pack up and go back to Gao Laozhuang at any time like Bajie did; life is also more difficult than Journey to the West, as you can't find Guanyin to lend a hand."
"It was really heartbreaking to see the monkey being suppressed for five hundred years, so when he jumped out, I jumped up too!"
"The first few chapters were indeed full of high energy, but it was not just exciting, there was a deeper expression. Even the monkeys born from fossils in the Flower-Fruit Mountain felt birth, aging, sickness and death just like humans. He was making trouble in the underworld and the heavenly palace, but what he was fighting against was a limitation that he was born with - that is, lack of freedom. When we were young, we were also reckless. No matter how many somersaults we did, how many circles we went around, how strong our bones were, we would eventually return to the long journey of seeking scriptures."
“When I saw the promotional picture of Sun Wukong in the Silver Blue Library, I just felt that Shadow’s painting skills were very strong. But after reading Journey to the West, I felt my blood curdled when I saw the picture of the monkey surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals. This is a lone hero. Although he endured punishment and suffering because of his rebelliousness, he was positive and optimistic all the way, which made people love him.”
"Chu Kuang's book is so terrifying!"
"His rich imagination and eloquent expressions seem to have been devoted to this book for his entire life. After reading Journey to the West, I was in awe. Compared with this book, I suddenly felt that Hong Huang was nothing special."
"Sun Wukong vividly demonstrated what it means to have a destiny in my own hands!"
"… "
After reading the book, 99% of readers will like Sun Wukong!
same.
The vast majority of comments also revolve around Sun Wukong!
certainly.
There was also discussion of other roles.
For example, Tang Monk.
However, the comments about Tang Seng were not so friendly:
"Tang Seng's classic trilogy: handsome, crying, and cursing Monkey King. If I were Sun Wukong, I would have beaten him to death with a stick long before he could recite the magic spell."
"Tang Seng clearly favors Zhu Bajie because of Sun Wukong's innate rebellious spirit."
"Except for his obsession with Buddha, I really don't agree with Tang Seng's other thoughts. He is timid and likes to shirk responsibility."
"The images of the four masters and apprentices are too vivid, and that's why people don't like Tang Seng."
"To the monkey, Tang Seng is a burden, although the monkey himself does not think so, this is precisely the most charming thing about the monkey."
“Life is a long and arduous journey, but even if you are as weak as Tang Seng, you can reach the end.”
"… "
However, some people have discovered the advantages of white-faced monks:
"Although Tang Seng cried like a boil every time he was captured, he would head west after escaping the devil's cave, never complaining, and never looking back."
In addition, Zhu Bajie has also encountered a lot of discussion.
There was no one-sided criticism of this character.
Although this pig is lazy and always wants to divide the luggage, he personally tells everyone what a qualified pig teammate is...
Some people analyzed the reasons:
"Maybe it's because we all aspire to be Sun Wukong, but in reality many people can't help but become Zhu Bajie."
As for Monk Sha
Monk Sha’s presence is the same as that of the White Dragon Horse.
Even worse than the White Dragon Horse.
The White Dragon Horse is a means of transportation.
Monk Sha is a carrying tool.
A tool horse, a tool man.
Even though Zhu Bajie has nothing to do, he still carries the shoulder pole.
No matter how we discuss it, the overall expression is actually the same:
The entire "Journey to the West" is a fantasy masterpiece in which Chu Kuang lets his talent flow all over the place, allowing his imagination and talent to collide to create the most dazzling fireworks!
Not just readers!
Even some great gods and even supreme gods in the field of fantasy novels were blown out!
"I thought Ghost Blows Out the Light would be Chu Kuang's peak, but it wasn't until I finished reading Journey to the West that I realized how wrong I was. This novel will probably become the ceiling of fantasy novels in the future!"
—Fantasy Master Li Zhenghui
"This is the original Blue Star mythology, with all the gods, demons and monsters written in detail. This is the best mythology ever!"
—Fantasy God's floating clouds
"I challenged myself and read the ancient Chinese version of Journey to the West with great difficulty. I want to say to all the fans of Journey to the West that the promotion of Silver Blue Library is indeed inappropriate. Journey to the West is not comparable to Journey to the West, but surpasses Journey to the West!"
—Supreme God Nanji (same name)
"Journey to the West is a perfect combination of literary and artistic qualities. This book is enough to make Chu Kuang the king of Chu."
—Supreme Star
Many great gods and supreme gods have stood up!
Before finishing reading Journey to the West, Chu Kuang was besieged by fans of Hong Huang. These great gods dared not say a word, and even felt in their hearts that Chu Kuang's new book could not compare with Hong Huang.
But after watching "Journey to the West", these great gods and even the supreme gods all stood up!
They all came to the same conclusion:
Journey to the West is stronger than prehistoric times!
At this moment, all the fans of Honghuang were silent.
Although I don't want to admit it, for various reasons, many Honghuang fans actually bought "Journey to the West"
Their own reading experience, coupled with these voices on the Internet, made them feel very uneasy.
But there are still a few Honghuang fans who are not convinced.
The literary attainments of the Honghuang series are very profound!
However, soon some experts who had carefully read the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West" compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two novels from various angles.
The analysis is conducted using the classical Chinese versions of the two novels.
The final conclusion is:
The writing skills of Journey to the West, including the poems and songs in it, are definitely not inferior to those of the Honghuang series!
The story of Journey to the West is not inferior to that of The Monkey King. On the contrary, it is more exciting than The Monkey King!
There are actually quite a few readers who have this kind of appreciation ability.
In the end, fans of "Journey to the West" had to admit that the ancient Chinese version of "Journey to the West" written by Chu Kuang was indeed very artistic.
At this time.
Another Honghuang fan couldn't help but refute:
"Even if you admit that Chu Kuang's writing is good, it can't cover up the fact that this is a fantasy master-disciple adventure story. How can this kind of commercial story with a happy ending catch up with the various metaphors in the Honghuang series? You don't even know how profound some of the stories in Honghuang are!"
The prehistoric times are not just the prehistoric times.
There is a Honghuang Research Association in this world because there are many intriguing details in this series.
Although the author did not specify these details, the various interpretations they have triggered, whether correct or not, have been sought after and recognized by countless people.
Is there one in Journey to the West
Many readers who were conquered by "Journey to the West" were speechless for a moment and could not find any immediate reasons to refute it.
After all, the story of Journey to the West has just been released, and many people find it difficult to associate more with it after first reading.
It is even more impossible to see the most subtle aspects of this novel at a glance.
But with so many readers of Qin, Qi, Chu and Yan, there are always some big guys who can see something extraordinary in "Journey to the West".
At this time.
The big guy showed up.
This person’s online name is Poor Baby.
He is a big shot in a certain forum, and no one knows who he is in real life.
Every forum seems to have a few big names like this. They can talk to you about everything from astronomy and geography to modern economic structure and development. They can also tell you everything about the most popular novels.
They seem to know everything.
Of course, this is based on the fact that ordinary people do not have that much knowledge reserves.
Now.
This poor kid stood up and made a shocking point:
"I can see that some of you Hong Huang fans have also finished reading Journey to the West, but I didn't expect that after reading this novel, you could actually say that it was a story of a master and his four disciples going on an adventure with a happy ending. Journey to the West is a tragedy. Which eye of yours saw the happy ending?"
Don't even mention the Honghuang fans.
Even the readers of Journey to the West were stunned by what they heard.
Isn’t the ending of Journey to the West very beautiful
The four masters and apprentices reached the West, obtained the true scriptures, and were given official positions. Why did it turn out to be a tragedy
Don't blame these people for being slow to react.
The story of Journey to the West has been circulated on Earth for countless years, and has therefore spawned countless interpretations.
But in Blue Star this is still a newly released novel.
Many things start from scratch.
Why on earth
When some people thought that the poor kid was just trying to attract attention, this netizen finally explained: "In the part about the real and fake Monkey King, Chu Kuang has already hinted very clearly, do you really think that the one who was beaten to death was the fake Wukong?"
Everyone was stunned.
Then, cold sweat suddenly broke out!
Some people even went back and re-watched the plot of the True and False Monkey King, and the more they watched it, the more terrifying it became.
Fans of the Honghuang series who watched Journey to the West were also shocked!
This idea is terrifying, but also extremely amazing!
Regardless of whether this view is correct, the fact that it appears is worth thinking about!
But they didn't know -
The real terror is yet to come!
