Talk about settings
Regarding the rhythm, because we haven't entered the main storyline yet, we are still in the escape stage in the early stage, Jiang City → Ring Star Orbit, with the dark tide behind. You can see from the time points when the plot appears at any time, many of them happen within a day or even within a few hours, so before entering the Ring Star Orbit, it is basically a battle royale, and the rhythm is difficult to slow down. It is impossible to run out of 1 hour of daytime and then rest for two or three days. This is very fragmented, so let me explain. The plot is about entering Yubei City in Chapter 130 and going to the airport in Chapter 150.
The previous part can be regarded as a prelude to Escape from the Night. In fact, you haven't entered the main storyline yet, and the world view has not been fully opened. Later, there will be more time and space for the upgrade and development of the train and the protagonist.
As for the supporting roles, it is still the same as above. Due to rhythm issues, we can't introduce them too quickly, and the cast will not be all female later on.
Regarding superpowers, the protagonist's mechanical superpowers require blueprints, materials, and sufficient mechanical manufacturing levels. Those who have played construction games should understand this. Many people ask why not just make armor, make turrets, and combine everything together. This is obviously unreasonable. The protagonist can only design some simple sketches such as shields, doors, cold weapons, etc. A person who does not have a blueprint and does not have relevant design capabilities cannot draw a chip architecture by himself, nor can he get a blueprint and modify it by himself. The protagonist is just a college student, and materials, electrical, chip architecture, and mechanical structure involve too many things he is not proficient in.
Another point is that the early setting of the Mechanical Heart does not have the ability of electronic invasion, such as controlling computers, AI, etc. This belongs to the category of super brain, and relevant settings will be expanded later.
Regarding the supernatural, this book does not contain any real supernatural content, and the writing style is not so jumpy. The female ghost in red is a sudden event, and it is not mixed with the setting of ghost literature. It will gradually unfold later, and it is actually a setting about the night.
Regarding the pictures, some of them are AI-generated and some are online pictures. The author prefers to use pictures to expand associations, such as the orbits around the stars, various strange bodies, various mechas and machines, etc. It is not intentional to scare people with ghost pictures, but mainly for the sense of immersion. Some scenes will feel better with pictures. Since everyone suggested it, I will add more pictures of women later...
Finally, I'm going to reveal my true colors. I'm asking for monthly votes and subscriptions. Currently, I'll maintain an update of 3 chapters with 6000+ words. In fact, the author maintains 8000-10000 words every day. Mainly because I'm worried about some rhythm and details, so I'll adjust what I write every day and dare not publish too quickly. Later, when I accumulate more manuscripts, I will continue to update with tens of thousands of words.
Thanks to all the book lovers for their support.
