Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 285 280. Comments on "Happy World"

Today's book is still a new work by a great writer.

"Happy World", Xu Gongzi Shengzhi, level 5 author.

Category: Science Fiction - Future World.

【Introduction】

If you foresee the future in a dream, and everything is as you expected, but wake up to find yourself still living in the most chaotic and backward place in the world, with nothing to hope for, and yet everything seems possible, what would you do?
This is the story of a young man who carries with him his fantasy of the future world, and three old grandfathers.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: City of Chaos. The protagonist, Hua Zhenxing, lay drunk in an alley all night, not losing anything, but having a dream. His memories of the dream were fragmentary and unclear. However, he briefly recalled his short life, and the old man Yang who raised him was both kind and strange.

Chapter 2: Dark Wasteland, Bright Lamp. The protagonist sneaks back home, sneaking around like he's in enemy territory, but is eventually discovered and exposed by Old Yang. The protagonist tells Old Yang about a dream he had: a fantasy kingdom 500 years in the future, filled with magical things, alchemy has become a normal phenomenon, and long-lived people are everywhere.

Chapter 3: Fantasyland 500 Years Later. The protagonist is still as young as he is now, and even the grocery store owner, Old Yang, hasn't changed much. He encounters a university senior, Zhu Meng, who gives him a mysterious object and explains his reasons for doing so.

In Chapter 4, someone steals the elixir formula in a dream. Zhu Meng recounts a rather melodramatic story, ultimately leading to him being bewitched by a mysterious organization and having the formula stolen. The protagonist, distrusting the organization from the outset, immediately calls the police. Meanwhile, Old Man Yang, also concealing his true identity, prepares to take Zhu Meng away. Then, a higher-level leader appears.

Chapter 5: You made me do this. A new person appears, named Yun Mo, possessing a youthful appearance that belies her age, possibly reaching one or two hundred years old. She details the Chunrong Pill incident to the protagonist, finally handing him the complete recipe—and surprisingly, this was the protagonist's idea. Old Yang couldn't help but smile when he heard the protagonist's dream story.

Chapter 6 discusses a theory. Old Yang speculates the authenticity of the "Yang Yuan Shu" from the protagonist's dream, predicting that the future world might also be real. However, the protagonist cannot accept such a fantastical reality. Old Yang then learns that the appearance of the protagonist's dream brother and the events that occurred in the Happy Bar in reality must be connected.

Chapter 7, The Straw Sandal Gang. The protagonist learns from a friend that their friend is planning to kill someone they both know. This infuriates Old Yang. After investigation, it turns out the target might be the leader of the Straw Sandal Gang. Ultimately, Old Yang's investigation leads him to the conclusion that the target is Dr. Luo.

Chapter 8: This is a test. Old Yang and the Straw Sandal Gang leader are friends, and they both believe that the man Jin Datou wants to kill is Dr. Luo. He's not a bad guy. Eventually, the protagonist's friend calls and tells him who the gang leader wants him to kill. Despite this, the two elders still believe that Charles is not a good person.

Chapter 9: Build him a system. Two elders assign the protagonist to notify and protect Dr. Luo. The protagonist's dream is a product of Old Yang's unconventional creation. The Straw Sandal Gang leader is even more remarkable, capable of creating a system. These two individuals are likely the legendary masterminds, intent on shaping the protagonist into the Chosen One.

Chapter 10: What the hell is this? The protagonist receives a mission from the system midway through the journey. The so-called system is essentially a form of psychological suggestion, capable of being created by anyone with a level three Yang Yuan technique. When he reports and arrives at Dr. Luo's place, he discovers that Jin Datou has ambushed the assassin. The protagonist and Charles each take care of the assassin, and the protagonist prepares to flee with Dr. Luo.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Xu Gongzi Shengzhi, a level 5 author, has written nine works including "Ghost Stock", "Spiritual Journey", "Human Desire", "Spirit Mountain", "Earth Master", "Tianshu", "Jingmen", "Taishang Chapter" and "Happy World".

Among them, the "Ghosts, Gods, People, Mountains, Earth, Sky, and Shock" series of novels have achieved remarkable results and received wide acclaim.

As to the extent of the positive reviews, it is no longer possible to verify due to the long time.

But its popularity is probably not as high as that of the "Five Whites of Central Plains"!

summary of the story
The story of this book is set in a parallel world or a virtual world, which is inconsistent with reality and is fictional or science fiction.

So, don’t worry about matching yourself to the right seat.

The protagonist Hua Zhenxing had a dream after getting drunk, and dreamed of the world five hundred years later.

As the story of the dream is told, the clues become clearer and clearer, and many complex interpersonal relationships slowly surface.

His life experience seemed to be deliberately dominated by Lao Yangtou and others, including entering dreams, turning on the system, protecting Dr. Luo, etc.

Therefore, this book has a feeling of "the mastermind behind the scenes" in the future world.
Hua Zhenxing's character traits are not very obvious. Now he seems to be a warm-hearted young man who has just learned some skills and is eager to do something to protect his friends and things that he thinks are important.

Old Yang and the leader of the Straw Sandal Gang, on the other hand, give people an extremely mysterious feeling.

A bit of a show-stealer!

However, I believe that as the plot unfolds further, the protagonist's personal charm, the choices he makes when facing danger, and his growth after difficulties will be revealed step by step.

Style characteristics
I haven't read any of Xu Gongzi Shengzhi's books, so how diverse his style is remains to be further studied.

On the one hand, he has been away from Qidian for three years and his popularity has been much lower. This time he returns, he may stay for a long time.

His new book currently has 1.62 collections on Qidian.com, 175 collections in the bookstore, 2.5 fans, and 48 alliance leaders.

It can be seen that his appeal is still very strong.

But from my personal experience of reading it, it is not particularly attractive.

The background narrative is too long, with many words in each chapter, but the narration takes up a large part of the text, and interpreting the dreams also takes up a lot of space.

The story line progresses slowly, the characters are always entangled in dream stories, the actual plot is not particularly exciting, and it is a bit drowsy to watch.

But this may be his narrative style. He likes to use flashbacks, flashbacks, and direct narration in various ways.

Moreover, the interest and flexibility of the language in this book seem rather dull and fail to catch the reader's attention at the first moment.

Maybe it is also necessary to lay the groundwork in the early stages!
In short, this book needs to be read slowly, step by step into the "funny world" constructed by the author.

But it’s definitely not my cup of tea!

【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】

First of all, thank you for the tip.

Secondly, this book gave me the feeling that "it does not live up to its reputation".

I started to read it with great admiration, but it didn't give me much surprise after reading it.

When writing about the dream world, I suggest that readers read Gunkai's "Summoning Nightmares", which is relatively more exciting and thrilling.

Although today's chapter came a little late, you can see that I am still relatively clear-headed and attentive.

Even the typos have decreased a lot, that's progress.

Hehe ~
