Chapter 514: They are 55-?
Chapter 514: They are -?
The first comment was made by a netizen named Daying, and the second comment was made by an Irish netizen.
"I personally think that Mr. Gu Lu didn't publish his new work in America because he was too kind. He knew that the emergence of The Lord of the Rings would definitely make The Sacred Mountain a comparative work. Unfortunately, the level of the two books is too different."
Another netizen with the handle Neon Gold said, "Mo Deng is not bad either, isn't he Little Gu Lu? Wait, I checked, Gu Lu is known as Little Mo Deng? This is the biggest joke of the century."
There are very few people who have read the works of both Gu Lu and Mo Deng at the same time, and who are willing to share them on the Internet at such a fast speed.
But the world is so big, with 6.6 billion people in the world (excluding Africa), so even a small number is still a huge group.
More and more netizens say that the Holy Land Mountain is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Lord of the Rings. Well, it's not that bad, it is still worthy of carrying the shoes. The main reason is that after reading the Lord of the Rings, readers were shocked by the real Middle-earth, which made them lose their judgment all of a sudden.
For those who don’t read fantasy literature but play games, here’s an example: “PS5 is the best in the world, but Zelda is the best.” They are referring to Goddess of War 5 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
This statement will certainly be criticized by many gamers, but if you play the game P5S seriously, the design of different female characters and the excellent process will make you suddenly feel during the game that "this game seems to be the second best in the world". To put it more intuitively, it is too immersive, so you start to add filters.
In addition to foreign netizens, some American netizens also started discussing. For example, a book reviewer named "Mrs. Simon Doesn't Drink Tea" made a horizontal comparison between the two books.
[“The Holy Mountain” is a good book and can be ranked among the top 50 fantasy novels of the st century.
"The Lord of the Rings" is a book that creates the world. It can be ranked in the top 3 of fantasy literature and is a must-read for fantasy novel lovers.
Which of the two books is better depends on personal preference. If you prefer Mr. Morden's writing style, you may prefer "The Holy Land Mountain".
The book reviewer was, of course, Mixi Simon. As Morden Hughes was her former idol as a writer, she had tried her best to give him face.
But this evaluation is really not as good as leaving any face.
American netizens couldn't sit still and left messages one after another:
“Better than The Holy Land Mountain?”
"One is in the top 3 and the other has been in the top 50 for more than years. Is there any significance in comparing the two?"
"I'm not very interested in Ove, but I really want to read this book."
“It’s time for American booksellers to take action.”
"I don't believe it. Isn't it said that Gu Lu is too young compared to Mo Deng?"...
It's really not the bookseller's business. According to the author's idea, Yao Xiaoju will never publish the book in the United States.
Besides, the current plan has not been completed yet.
"Moden, right? No matter how good you enjoyed it in the front, I will make you pay it all back in the back." Yao Xiaoju was also holding back his anger.
"I've put up with you for three months, and now I want revenge."
Yao Xiaoju called a friend to implement the plan...
Back in France, Jason took The Lord of the Rings home with him, as if it were something shameful. The last time he did this was when he bought a book by David Lawrence.
Driving home, the traffic in Paris is terrible. Jason played games when he got home, and when he got tired of playing games, he finished the rest of his work during the day.
When it was time to go to bed, Jason picked up Gu Lu's new work to help him sleep.
Who knew——
"The Fellowship of the Ring is a team consisting of hobbits, humans, elves, and dwarves. I was worried that it would be related to the popular LGBT community, or a metaphor for reality. I didn't expect that I was overthinking it. Each character has a different personality, culture, and fighting ability. The adventure in the virtual world, this feeling can only be felt when watching Peter Pan as a child, it's a surprise."
"Wait...it's daybreak?"
"Oh no, I have to go to work." Young people can stay up all night without any sleep, but old people can't do that. Jason is old, but he is still energetic.
Because society is not a delicate little girl. It has plenty of means and strength to make you full of vitality.
On the way, Jason came across a survey, the kind of questionnaire that you give out to people you meet on the street: "In what way do you think the Sacred Mountain is better than the Lord of the Rings?"
"Hmm? If the Lord of the Rings is so great, then the Holy Mountain must be amazing too?!" Jason thought.
He had seen on the Internet before that Mo Deng was better than Gu Lu.
Okay, okay, I will buy "Holy Mountain" when I go home tonight.
Jason felt drowsy at work today, but he still insisted on getting off work. He bought Morden's new work.
He didn't play games this time because he was worried that he would not be able to sleep again if he watched them before going to bed.
Open with great anticipation.
Ten minutes, brows furrowed.
Twenty minutes, sharp eyes.
Half an hour later, Jason put the book down.
"Who is spreading rumors? How is this book better than The Lord of the Rings?!" Jason felt like he was a little behind the times.
Jason thought about it and took out today's questionnaire from his bag.
Start writing:
[The Sacred Mountain is not better than The Lord of the Rings in any way; on the contrary, The Lord of the Rings is much better than The Sacred Mountain.
The role of the knight is a combination of elements from the Sacred Mountain and the Lord of the Rings. In the Sacred Mountain, Kantán is more like an emotionless robot, with a huge difference in personality before and after, like a bumper next to the male protagonist.
Sam, the knight in the Lord of the Rings, was loyal to the hero until the end. Even when Frodo was controlled by the ring, he never left. During the journey to Mount Doom, Sam played the role of a cheerleader for the team and encouraged the hero many times. If this is the case, the knight in the Lord of the Rings is at most a robot.
But Gu Lu arranged a plot, a very bold and ingenious plot. After the protagonist was knocked unconscious by Gollum, the Fellowship of the Ring lost its core team.
But Sam took on the responsibility of escorting the ring alone, showing his determination, not entirely because of the protagonist, but also because he himself has a strong sense of responsibility and courage. ]
Sam and Mixie are very obvious examples; one watched The Sacred Hill first and then The Lord of the Rings, while the other watched The Lord of the Rings first and then The Sacred Hill.
The two came to the same conclusion, and it also represents one thing: the threshold for books is low and the readership is wider than Ove.
Then let’s take a look at the actual combat——
"The Lord of the Rings" sold worldwide, grossing 142 million copies in two days (including those purchased online that did not arrive).
Among them, 34 copies were sold in China, 15 copies were sold in Japan, and 19 copies were sold in France. It topped the weekly book sales charts in seven countries and became a hot topic of Internet discussion in four countries.
Yes, that's right.
Gu Lu's new work surpassed the sales of Moden in just two or three days.
Surpassing in sales is not a big deal, the key is that the reputation is also losing.
In the past two or three days, the more readers who have read the book, the more discussions there are.
Morden and Italy are both honest...
