    Good Boy's Magical Science Book Series - "Butterflies in the Storm" by Gravel Throwing

    When I was in high school, I borrowed the first half of "Gunsblood Rose" from a rental bookstore. Now that I think about it, I still feel nostalgic about it.  I must have borrowed it at least three times.  As a novel, "GBR (GUN¡¤BLOODROSE¡¤NECROMANCER)" is undoubtedly a very interesting thing, and the same is true for its sequel "Butterfly in the Storm".

    So far, in terms of the complexity of the setting (balance does not count Dongdong who can play an infinitely upgraded necromancer as the protagonist cannot be said to be balanced at all) and the reasonableness of the combination of various cultures, what I have seen  Perhaps the most outstanding among fantasy novels are the works of Necroman.  The article "Butterfly" undoubtedly further enriches the flesh and blood of this wonderful world.  At the same time, in this article, the spoof spirit of Underpants Gate is still burning everywhere (by the way, the multi-turret war story is really popular). Almost all the props that appear have their origins, and the funny scenes are indeed  The effect is remarkable.

    In the first volume of the article, Necroman introduced the two sisters who are the real protagonists in a very subtle way. I have to say that his method is quite clever.  The puzzling parts of the previous scenes created the effect of "Wow! The author's foreshadowing was so cleverly laid out" at the moment when the identity was revealed.  "Unexpected but reasonable", I think this sentence is the most appropriate way to describe it.  At the same time, the author's ability to grasp the structure also made me sigh: the "back to the past" routine has become quite common in today's online novels.  However, under the influence of the author's setting and techniques, this setting itself constitutes a suspense.

    As an online work, "Butterfly" is undoubtedly excellent.  However, the implication is not that it is without faults - in fact, the novel also contains many shortcomings.  The enthusiasm for the setting largely made "Butterfly" possible, but it also constantly undermined the expressive power of the novel.  The author's explanations regardless of the scene can indeed solve the readers' doubts and show readers this interesting and wonderful world to the maximum extent - but the problem is that these explanations can also turn a very good feature film into "DISCOVERY Discovery Channel"  ¡·.

    ?Perhaps we should go back to Volume 1.  As a link between "GBR" and "Butterfly", this volume does not revolve around the Quailathia sisters.  Undoubtedly, this technique well ensures the rhythm of the work, and is also an important part of the separation between "Butterfly" and "GBR".  But the author seems to have gone a little too far on this path.  The first chapter of the first volume mainly talks about the struggle between two ethnic groups in the New World, and also introduces the important character Leisa.  besides?  there is none left.  The two representatives of different cultures who play an important role here are both important in this chapter, and they don't seem to have much role after that.  From the current point of view, the plot has no connection with the subsequent chapters, and it also does nothing to deepen the character creation.  Overall, the introduction of this war scene can indeed express the small theme of cultural conflict very well, but it is a waste of ink that has no effect on the larger theme.

    Another shortcoming in Necroman's writing is the lack of grasp of the big scenes.  The control of individual characters is quite good, but it seems inadequate when writing large-scale battles.  One-on-one combat is quite enjoyable, but when it comes to really big scenes such as cavalry charges, something is always missing.  To use a somewhat unkind saying in my memory, "When a master fights, he will pull tens of thousands of cannon fodder to accompany him to death, and at the same time enhance the atmosphere." As for the nameless soldiers, the author does not seem to intend to waste time on them so the cannon fodder  Their achievements are nothing more than stage scenery.  Basically, most of the books that create a strong sense of vicissitudes of life are static scenes such as poetry and "historians of later generations". The descriptions of the battlefield are always lack of appeal. Therefore, no matter how many cannon fodder deaths there are, it is just a number.  This lack of appeal is in the same vein as its predecessor "Gunsblood Rose".

    A major feature of online novels nowadays is that the protagonist is invincible.  Surrounded by the aura of a king, Pig's Foot leads a group of younger brothers to meet gods and kill gods, meet Buddhas and destroy Buddhas Of course, Necroman did not set his protagonist as the invincible Superman.  If I really did this, I'm afraid the novel wouldn't be able to progress.  However, judging from the plots so far (including GBR), the author often repeats this routine: the protagonist upgrades with the enemy upgrades. The enemies that appear every time are always one or several levels lower than the protagonist, and they are just eaten to death.  .  It's nice to feel like you're in control of everything, but it's a bit boring to do it every time.  In FSS, there are times when Amaterasu loses her power. It would be interesting to think that the protagonist occasionally encounters a situation where he is unable to pose handsomely.  The result of creating an overly powerful protagonist is usually that the surrounding characters become generally pale.  In the second half of "GBR", this tendency has actually begun to become serious.  In "Butterfly", Sister Quaillacia??There hasn't been a big enough stage to use its powers - so I'm reserving my opinion on whether the author will make this mistake again.

    Finally, there is a question.  "Faith becomes power" seems to be the law in the GBR world, so why do you have difficulty using uninvented spells?  What Naimen said in the previous work may serve as a clue "You must have people who believe in you."  Here, it can also be said that "there must be people who believe in this magic."  Can the beliefs of others be the force that supports the Magic Web?  Or is it purely due to the coercion of time and space?  In fact, I am quite looking forward to the correct answer given by the author.

    Necroman's comment on 2005-02-15 20:09:12 It may be hopeless to set this point If you set too many settings, it will actually become a habit.  (Sweating) I think I also despised Nagano Mamoru and Shira Masamune, but later I started playing this trick myself and never tired of it.  One of the characteristics of a setting maniac is the requirement for "complete internal logic." Therefore, to set the characteristics of a city, you must set the nearby terrain, to set the terrain, you must set the history, and to set the history, you must set the organization.  , once you set up the organization, you need to set up the strong person Once set, it is unlikely to be used without foreshadowing, and then the length of the explanation and description increases inexplicably.

    As for the issue of "the strong controls everything", the author was reflecting on it after writing GBR.  Therefore, this time the main scene no longer revolves around the protagonist, but is written in a tentative way, with several scattered clues intertwined, each clue symbolizing a small theme (the male lead has not appeared yet)  .  The title "Butterfly in the Storm" itself indicates a considerable degree of uncontrollability in history.  Well, to be honest, the structure I plan to adopt is a bit copied from "A Song of Ice and Fire". The main clues are events, and then the characters are used to unfold it from angles. However, the structure has no copyright, kaka.  (Becoming a "multi-protagonist invincible"? Sweat)

    I really want to discuss the issue of large-scale battles.  As far as my personal perception of other works is concerned, I feel that creating an inexplicable new little character, or describing the momentum of the war through blurry descriptions, seems a bit fake.  The former will disrupt the rhythm of the narrative, while the latter is more likely to appear the same.  So I finally chose the method of cutting in key characters and adding realistic tactical data.  I don¡¯t know which works the poster agrees with?  I will also refer to it for reference^_^ Finally, I will answer the last question.  "Spirit determines power" is indeed the basic principle, and all settings are made on this basis; therefore, the more a magic formula is used, the more deeply it will penetrate into the hearts of ordinary people, and the easier it will be to use; so it is not  Everyone can create new formulas.  In this world, if all intelligent creatures decide that "magic does not exist" overnight, it will become a world without magicthat is, "subjective idealism" is directly projected into the material world.  product.

    In my opinion, "war momentum" is a relative concept.

    ?In other words, compared with the war itself, personal power is insignificant.  As a participant, a small mistake can be enough to destroy you - this almost absolute power ratio is the biggest factor that constitutes the authenticity of war.  If we describe war from the perspective of a military strategist, we may see what the art of war is (WARCRAFTexplosion, I have played a lot of WOW recently); however, if we look at it from the perspective of a war participant, it will inevitably involve stray bullets and splashes.  The soil, the intestines flowing all over the ground, the shivering and incontinent recruits crying and wanting to go home but still being rushed to die by the supervising team, and so on.

    There is no Superman on the battlefield.

    In a novel that really gives the impression of "This is war!", the above sentence is almost always true.  War creates tension and fear because of its cruelty and absoluteness.  Maybe you are the prophesied savior, but on the battlefield, this is meaningless - you may have your legs blown off by a landmine, your belly torn by shrapnel, or even crushed into a puddle of flesh by an armored vehicle at any time.  If you have even the slightest bit of bad luck, you will die on the roadside and end up like the wild dog you saw yesterday.

    ? Admittedly, in terms of the novel's approach, it may be a very clever way to exaggerate the overall momentum of both sides, such as "storm-like cavalry" and "black clouds pressing down on the city."  But this approach usually only works when viewed from a third party¡¯s perspective.  I personally call this the ¡°bystander¡¯s war.¡±  Listing numbers is another method: what is described using this method is "a military staff war."  If you want to describe a "soldier's war", I'm afraid it's not enough to use the above two ways of describing war.  The most practical solution has been used in countless novels - I mainly mean non-fantasy books.  "Soldier's War" requiresWhat matters is¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªthe details!  detail!  detail!

    The diffuse smoke stings your eyes, the landslide-like explosion hits your ears, and your comrades fall beside you.  Son of a bitch!  Those bastards are charging!  Aim - shoot!  Bayonets on - all attack!

    In fact, the war in fantasy does not need to be described in detail But before posing for a duel, we must not forget at least that there is a group of people who are eyeing this poor guy.  A Western European knight who made a dueling gesture would most likely be dragged off his horse and trampled until he died.  NPCs may be weaker than NAMED, but at least they can't become the nameless losers in contemporary martial arts dramas who "backflip to the ground when lightly touched", right?

    Finally, do some PF on yourself Well, my guess about the difficulty of using magic is indeed correct.  Laugh~
