"Host", author: Black Sky Demon, a great writer.

Category: Science Fiction - Evolution and Mutation.

【Introduction】

Parasitic in cellular form, one must choose their host carefully. No one imagined civilization would be destroyed in war. I am a barbarian, but I am also human.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: The Hungry Season. The northern barbarian village of Panshi has been starving since last week. Each household receives only a meager allotment. Tianhao, the protagonist, who has lost his parents, struggles to bring back some meat. His brothers are part of a hunting team and receive a fixed quota, but he and his sister struggle to come.

Chapter 2: Thinking. Tianhao is a warrior from the civilized era. His base was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. He chose to parasitize a young boy named Tianhao who happened to appear near his incubator, rather than a chicken or a dog. Therefore, his soul is different from that of the other tribe members, and so are his behavior and way of thinking.

Chapter 3: The Hunting Team Returns. In the middle of the night, the ten leaders of the protagonist's family suddenly burst in, wanting to make sure the protagonist's siblings had starved to death. The next day, the hunting team finally returned, and the protagonist's brother was seriously injured.

Chapter 4: Heavy casualties. The hunting party encounters a fierce bear, and the protagonist's eldest brother breaks his arm but survives. Back home, lying quietly, the second brother is in a bad mood. The village priest comes to visit the eldest brother and expresses extreme disgust towards the protagonist.

Chapter 5: I Can Save You. The priest was helpless to treat the protagonist's eldest brother's injuries, only giving him a night's worth of painkillers. The protagonist, a brilliant and brave warrior in his previous life, decisively explained the predicament they faced to their brothers and offered to heal their hand.

Chapter 6: A Sad Strategy. The leader of Rock Village discusses with the priest how to help his people survive the harsh winter, and reluctantly trades his pregnant wife to the capital south. The protagonist is performing surgery on his brother, startling the leader and the others.

Chapter 7, The Thinker. The protagonist successfully resets his brother's bones and sutures his wounds, albeit clumsily, simply to conceal his identity. He wins the approval of the chief and the priests, and gradually realizes that his previous dislike stems from his laziness and his desire to be a thinker. This is unrealistic.

Chapter 8: About Exchange. The protagonist's identity as a healer spread throughout the village, and food distribution was based on need. As he rushed to the meeting hall, countless people showed him favor. He pleaded with the priest not to send the village women south, as no one could guarantee food and clothing during the southern winter.

Chapter 9: The Bear Without Wounds. The protagonist promised the chief that he could hunt a wild-maned bear and not have to sell his women. Sure enough, he and his second brother did hunt a bear, and he was entitled to a share of the meat, a great honor. Strangely, the bear had no wounds on its body.

Chapter 10, early morning. The protagonist cooks his own food, incorporating many civilized techniques. His family remains silent, only surprised and amazed. Early in the morning, he and his second brother set out again, ready to hunt bears. Only the gatekeepers realize that it was the protagonist who had hunted the bear.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Black Sky Demon God, a great writer, has written "Wasteland", "Urban Pseudo-Immortal", "Infected Body", "Fighting God to the Sky", "Sinful Army", "Apocalypse Hunter", and "Legend of the Soaring Dragon".

The official label shows that he is a member of the Chinese Writers Association, a famous science fiction author, and a leading figure in the "apocalyptic genre."

Wasteland is quite well-known.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of elite warriors in the civilized era. The base was unexpectedly hit by a volcanic eruption, and everyone had to be distributed in the incubation cabin in the form of genes.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally parasitized the barbarian boy and successfully survived.

His control over this body would only become slightly out of control when he was extremely emotional.

The protagonist faces a huge survival crisis. Food is withheld and his eldest brother is seriously injured and dying. He has no choice but to step forward, set his eldest brother's bones, hunt for the tribe, and save the women in the village from being sold.

Relying on his survival and fighting abilities from his previous life, he grew up step by step in the barbarian village, became a chief, and became a leading figure in nearby tribes.

Even when facing the princess, he was merciless and beat her when necessary.

Character characteristics
The protagonist was very cautious at first. Before his brothers came back, he only dared to eat meat secretly with his sister.

Whether for the greater good or for the sake of family, he decisively set his brother's bones, but he only dared to display his clumsy technique. He didn't want his identity to be doubted by his tribe members because of his extraordinary ability before he fully grew up.

After all, the skills he possesses have surpassed the current era.

Style characteristics
This book has a strong primitive tribal style, with a strong sense of barbarism.

Many details are set very meticulously. The primitive tribe is poor and has nothing. Apart from survival, they don't deserve any other thoughts.

Some tribes even fight constantly for their so-called surnames.

This book has no system or cheat code. It relies on the protagonist's wisdom and combat experience, as well as a way of thinking that is integrated into this era.

However, in the latest plot, they have even developed rifles, and the transition from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons is also coming rapidly.

It is unknown to what extent the protagonist will eventually grow, whether he can return to the civilized era, or restore the glory of the current era.

【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 is a veteran master who is extremely good at the apocalypse style.

It’s just that many of the more famous books have been banned temporarily.

In addition, his previous main camp was in Genesis, and his reputation in Qidian was not that loud.

The fact that it was recommended this time also shows that the editor still values ​​it very much.

The writing ideas and techniques are very mature, and the personal characteristics are very obvious.

But there are some minor flaws.

The style is relatively simple, the routine is a bit ordinary, and it feels like it was read several years ago.

There is no obvious innovation, and it is not particularly consistent with the current popular online literature.

For the new generation of readers, the works easily give people an old-fashioned feeling and fail to arouse much interest.

Of course, there is no big problem with the quality and updating of the book, but it is unlikely to become a big hit.

There are many constraints on online writing now, and the apocalyptic genre cannot develop unlimited imagination in the dark aspects as before.

The overall feeling is that the highlights are not very obvious, and it can be regarded as a standard blog article.

The protagonist's genetic parasitic identity also reflects the theme of evolution and mutation, which can be regarded as science fiction.

Friends who have read this book are welcome to come and have a discussion.
