Kingdom’s Bloodline

First time recommending a non-fantasy book. "Le" Wen "Xiao" Said|

Well, Wu Jian first admits that the update has not been effective in the past few days, because I am chasing this book, and I have been chasing the latest progress!

First of all, this is a supernatural novel, but compared to horror, the author is particularly good at creating suspense, partly due to the plot setting, and partly due to the innovation of narrative techniques.

As in the title, the novel revolves around a private firm that specializes in solving supernatural events, but the protagonist is not a member of the firm, but examines the firm's event files as a "later person". The narrative begins from the point of view.

These files are all cases that the firm took over and handled, some were successfully completed, some left tails, some were completely clueless, leaving a horrible blank, and some even ended up with the death of the client, or even the other way around. Endanger the firm members themselves.

It is also because of this that when the protagonist who is a latecomer reads the archives, the sense of suspense created by the indirect records is particularly profound. When reading these archives, I have the same interest as reading the stories of the SCP Foundation, and even feel like watching a pseudo-documentary movie.

Secondly, these past ghost files are not isolated histories, they are closely connected with the current life of the protagonist (especially the unsolved cases), revealing step by step the inevitable intersection between the protagonist and the members of the firm, and pulling him into that bizarre world. , In a world that often makes people feel hairy.

The development of the story adopts two alternate plots, one is the office file with number and time as the axis, which provides a glimpse of people's suspenseful adventures in the past, and the other is the current protagonist (first person, which is very common in the category of supernatural horror). , can enhance the sense of substitution), relying on the clues and instructions given by the firm, step by step to solve various horror problems that are getting closer to his life, the two lines are often intertwined, depicting the truth behind the suspense.

The plot is very catchy, every ghost story is a delicate microcosm of reality (writing ghosts is really writing people), every ghost story does not have a happy ending, every ghost story has its own helplessness and careful thinking pole.

Writing-wise, the narrative is absolutely fluid. As for the character of the characters, limited by the unique narrative style, the personalities of the protagonist team are not very prominent, but I believe it will become more and more full as the plot progresses.

The poisonous point of this book, um, I haven’t found the kind of poisonous point that makes me abandon the book directly.

I caught up with the latest chapter last night, and I had to let it go.

Then I began to code with trepidation. While coding, I looked back to see if there was anyone behind me, in the mirror, in the computer screen, outside the window, under my feet, on the ceiling...

One-sentence evaluation: A well-organized pseudo-documentary collection of ghost stories, you deserve it.
