Chapter 513: Rebellious Fans

If you have ever tried to write a novel, you will know that the biggest mistake made by new writers is that they think they have built a grand worldview, so they throw it out right at the beginning.

In fact, it gives readers a very bad impression.

Forcing something into readers will not allow them to immerse themselves in it. Cramming education has already taken this path for us.

This is also why Mixi only felt that he was creating a character and went on an adventure with the Fellowship of the Ring to Mount Doom.

Encounter with Sauron's Black Riders.

The Balrog in the Misty Mountains.

Even when the plane arrived, Micki was not distracted by the time he had to get off the plane. He did not walk away from the story and just sat on a bench in the airport to continue watching.

Gu Lu once won Ken Follett's "The Fall of Giants". His books are praised as "you can't put them down once you pick them up", so he would stay up all night to finish reading them. As for Tolkien's works, he thinks they are definitely as attractive as Follett's.

"It was actually the evil Gollum who saved the protagonist team. He betrayed Frodo and fell into Mount Doom with the One Ring. The evil man used his betrayal to accomplish the good deed of saving the world. Gu Lu is indeed a fairy tale writer who created fairy tales for adults."

When Mikki came to her senses, her body sent out sharp alarm sounds. First, her waist felt as if it was broken. Even though she subconsciously changed her sitting position many times while reading, sitting for several hours without a waist support must have hurt.

Secondly, I had a headache because I hadn't eaten anything and I was so focused on the plane that it felt like an awl was chiseling my forehead.

She immediately went to a 24-hour convenience store and bought a box of instant noodles and a Coke to replenish her carbohydrates and sugar intake.

After Mixi was "resurrected", she continued to think, "It's a mature fantasy novel, but compared to the magnificent world view of "The Holy Land Mountain", I..."

She didn't finish her words, because she found that after she finished reading, the colorful Middle-earth was still in her mind.

The Hobbit - The protagonist Frodo, although smaller than a dwarf, has great courage. Hobbits like to drink and eat, and usually do not participate in any adventures.

The dwarf, Gimli, who wields an axe, is very brave.

Tree Man - Treebeard, a giant tree man who can change the direction of tree growth.

Orcs - Shabak are cruel and cunning, and almost destroyed the Fellowship of the Ring. Orcs are an evil race created by Sauron, with a short lifespan but fast reproduction.

It doesn't seem to be a big deal to describe a representative character of each race. There is a Chinese work that describes 105 men and 3 women, and there is a French literary giant who has written hundreds of characters.

The key point is that the culture and history of each race can really be felt through just a few words in the book.

"The elves speak Quenya, the orcs speak Black Speech, and the dwarves speak Khazad. Because the orcs' Black Speech comes from the Lord's Speech."

Some words in the Principal Language are based on Quenya, so the Black Speech only has some words in common with the Elven Quenya, and is completely different from other languages in Middle-earth.

Because Black Language has a great deterrent and commanding effect, it is a highly agglutinative language, and it is very uncomfortable to read when written.

Little by little, link by link, Mixi felt as if he saw an iceberg floating on the sea. Thinking carefully in his mind, the first, second and third ages of Middle-earth, the huge mythology, language and culture, made Mixi feel breathless.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" The convenience store clerk immediately handed over a glass of water.

"It's okay, it's okay," Mixy said quickly, taking a sip of water to swallow the biscuit in her throat.

Mikki added, "I choked because I was eating the biscuits too eagerly. I'm fine now."

"Okay, ma'am, if you need anything, you can find me." The convenience store cashier left this sentence and returned to work. Even though it was already night, the store inside the airport was not short of customers. Of course, the breathlessness I felt just now had physiological reasons, but it was more psychological, because I felt the shock brought by another world.

"Now I understand why Gu Lu created language. He is the writer who truly understands fantasy!" Mixi said in amazement.

Her impression after reading The Lord of the Rings was that the author happened to see what was happening in Middle-earth, so he told these stories in English.

While she was reminiscing, Morden called.

In the past, Mixi would have answered the call eagerly, but now she hesitated.

After thinking about it, between The Sacred Mountain and The Lord of the Rings, the former is more exciting in terms of the twists and turns of the story, because...

Okay, the above is the only place where Mikki can find victory for Morden in his heart.

Others...Mixie could no longer remember the specific scenery of the Man Continent. He only remembered that it was "very vast" and "very big", and that was it.

The Man Continent is like a huge blank sheet of paper.

She really wanted to travel to Middle-earth, the forest of Lothlorien, which is also the habitat of the elves. The trunk is grayish white. The leaves of this tree turn yellow in autumn and do not fall off. Instead, they wait until new buds emerge in spring, and then the old leaves fall to the ground. Whether you look at it from the front or the back, it is a golden top and silver pillars.

This scenery is meant to show the quiet and peaceful nature of the elves, but it is also so beautiful that it is very attractive to Mixi.

"Woooo..."

The phone vibrated quite loudly, and Mixi hung up the phone as if possessed by a ghost - well, to be more precise, she hung up after thinking it over.

Because it is such a good work, some shortcomings can be picked out. No work is perfect, and creators are pursuing perfection throughout their lives.

But imperfection does not mean bad, on the contrary, The Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece of fantasy. So she can't deny such a masterpiece.

"Such a work cannot be afraid of "The Holy Land Mountain". Why is it not sold in America?"

Yes, this is also a question that many American netizens have.

Because after a day of reading, the first batch of foreign netizens who forgot to eat and sleep to finish reading have already started sharing it on the Internet.

At first, American netizens didn’t care.

“Good news: Gu Lu’s new work has been released. Even better news: his new work is still not available in the United States.”

"After reading "The Holy Land Mountain", I don't want to read other fantasy novels for the time being."

"It seems that he said when he released Ovi that he thought his writing skills were not good enough, so his current skills are not good enough. He is still a Chinese genius, a world genius, but his learning ability is too poor. A year has passed, and he still hasn't improved."

From the comments that are just waiting for the fun, we can see that American netizens have little interest in books.

But foreign netizens came out to share their own experiences.

"I've read both The Sacred Mountain and The Lord of the Rings, and my god, I feel so lucky. Because if I read The Lord of the Rings first and then The Sacred Mountain, I would be very sad. The former is an excellent work, and the latter is one of the best works I have ever read in the field of fantasy!"
