Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 527 523. Comments on "The Embers of the Long Night"

Today I would like to recommend a new book to you.

"The Embers of the Long Night", a squid who loves diving and a platinum writer.

Category: Fantasy-Another World.

【Introduction】

Everyone on the Gray Land believes that deep within a ruin buried amidst danger and famine lies the path to a new world. As long as they can find a unique key and open the door, they can enter the new world.

There, the earth is fertile, flowing with milk and honey, and the sun is brilliant, seemingly washing away the cold and gloom. People no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infection, deformation, and various dangerous things.

There, children are happy, adults are happy, and everything is beautiful.

Every antiquarian, relic hunter, and historical researcher on the Ashes knows that this is the New World.

【Golden Chapter 2】

Chapter One: Unified Assignment. In a future world, a mysterious company is divided into different ranks, housing people of varying identities. There are D-level employees, M-level management, and a single, overarching boss. The company offers generous benefits, even forced marriages based on age. Otherwise, the population problem would be difficult to solve. The protagonist, Shang Jianyao, voluntarily forgoes the assignment, much to the confusion of his companions.

Chapter 2, Review. This time, there are two more men than women assigned to a position. The protagonist again chooses to forgo it, leaving his companion the only unassigned character left unassigned. The protagonist goes to see a doctor, his thoughts clear, yet his ideals unreasonably ambitious. His reason for forgoing the assignment is a desire to save humanity. Naturally, the doctor diagnoses him as moderately mentally ill.

【Brief Comment】

The first chapter of this book was released at 12:27 today, and I only had time to take a look after dinner. It was only four hours old, but it already had two silver alliances, over 30 alliance leaders, 240,000 followers, and over 1600 posts.

As of 23:35, the collection has exceeded 200,000, there are 3 silver alliances and 48 alliance leaders.

Although the speed at which readers join the alliance is much slower than that of Yue Qianchou's "The Unparalleled Ex".

But it already demonstrates his strength and popularity as a top platinum writer.

As for the content, as he had promised before, the theme of this book is a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The story mainly tells about a magical company, which should be similar to the barrier in the wasteland-style "The First Sequence". The company's employees are divided into different levels, and it is very strict.

Those at the bottom are guaranteed basic supplies and distribution, including boyfriends and girlfriends. Middle-level managers have access to more generous resources, while at the top there is only one big boss, a mysterious lady.

The entire story structure gives people a feeling that is obviously different from "The First Sequence" and is more like the movie "Snowpiercer".

In this film, the train is the only place where humans can survive, and the carriages are divided into different levels, from the slums at the bottom to the creators at the top. Through constant struggle and sacrifice, the protagonist witnesses the living environment of different carriages, showing different lives and worlds.

The writing style is quite different from Lord of Mysteries. At least there aren't as many difficult Western names, places, and lifestyles. However, the writing seems too down-to-earth. The protagonist is named Shang Jianyao, and his companion is Long Yuehong. If there were another character named Ou Haochen, it would have definitely gone for a Mary Sue style.

If an ordinary author named it like this, it would definitely cause a lot of complaints.

Just looking at these two chapters, there are still a lot of messages from readers, basically filled with 99+ messages.

However, this time the official promotion of his new book was quite cautious. Unlike the previous Paladin's Legend new book, the promotion was overwhelming. The result was, hehe~
As for the title of the book, it seems to have a bit of the meaning of "a single spark can start a prairie fire".

As for the diagnosis of the protagonist Shang Jianyao's disease, it reminded me of the setting of "The Strong Man Walking Out of the Mental Hospital". As for the surname Shang, it reminded me of Shang Yanyan in "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn".

One last thing to say: the company’s setting is a bit like Warehouse 11 in “Reboot: The Lost Tomb”.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. After all, it's only two chapters, so I can't really explain anything. The last time I read Lord of Mysteries, I still couldn't understand it after 100 chapters.

【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】

When it comes to self-media, riding on the popularity is the key to getting high readership.

You need a keen sense of smell and plenty of time.

Fortunately, I have neither of these two qualities.

Therefore, I can only present this article to you with a sensitivity that is twelve hours late.

I originally wanted to write the ten golden chapters, but then I thought about it, considering the speed at which Squid updates, writing the five golden chapters would also be a good choice.

In the end, you can only wait for the second golden chapter.

The truth is, if you don't take advantage of his popularity, you won't even have soup to drink.

Since my column has already been filled with 20 articles, I will stop jumping around.

Only genuine readers are eligible to see this article first~
