A novel filled with character deaths?
Several lines of frustration dropped on Su Jiamengâs forehead. How come she was unaware that her novel had such a unique "pet name"? Although it was true that from the beginning to the middle and then the end, there were indeed quite a few characters meeting their demise, it couldnât be described that way...
Even though her mind was filled with complaints, Su Jiameng honestly confessed and revealed the true situation, "Yes, it has already been published. If you want to read it, you can search for âTragic Life of Su Shaojiang,â you should be able to find it..."
On the other end of the neural network, upon learning the name, Lucy was instantly taken aback. Sure enough, Xiao Meng is just terrible at naming things. A book title should at least sound high-end, atmospheric, and prestigious, making people instantly feel intense admiration when they see it. Look at Princess FusuââSky Covering,â âLegend of Immortal,â and âBreaking the Skyââarenât all these titles simply mind-blowingly cool?
In contrast, her name looks every bit like a third-rate novice! Of course, Lucy wouldnât say these things out loud. After all, book titles can be changed upon application. As long as Xiao Meng realizes that the name is inappropriate, she would probably correct it!
After disconnecting from Su Jiameng, Lucy immediately searched for this book. Having already read the first few Chapters from Su Jiameng earlier, she skipped them and continued reading. Although she had set her mind, "Since itâs written by Xiao Meng, no matter how difficult it is to read, I will persist," she found it wasnât as terrible as she had imagined. At least the writing was fluent and the layout was considered rigorous...
Of course, Lucy and Liu Dongyi both thought the sameâthe female protagonistâs character at the beginning was really frustrating.
From a readerâs perspective, encountering such an irritating, indecisive female protagonist already at the beginning makes the likelihood of abandoning the text quite high! Hmm... Should we discuss with Xiao Meng about tweaking the protagonistâs temperament a bit?
Lucy continued reading, and found that the originally liked characters at the opening all met their demise, leaving her helpless. Xiao Meng really mastered the art of self-destruction! The protagonistâs temper is undesirable, the liked characters meet their demiseâsheâs not tormenting the protagonist, but the readers!
However, when she saw the protagonistâs temperament gradually changing after several setbacks, she let out a small breath of relief.
To be honest, in the grand backdrop of the Interstellar Future, those gentle, kind-hearted, even pushover female characters can only serve as pretty vases. In todayâs Mecha-dominant times, the public prefers strong, domineering, occasionally demonic, and sometimes cunning female protagonists. Hopefully, Xiao Meng can realize this and write the protagonistâs character towards the mainstream direction...
The initial content had inherent flaws, and if not handled well afterwards, this novel might end up neglected by all.
Of course, Lucy never expected that Su Jiameng did write the "protagonistâs" character towards the mainstreamâstrong, domineering, and occasionally demonic. However, along the path of character growth, a bunch of supporting characters ended up âmeeting their demiseâ... In Su Jiamengâs words, growth requires a bloody price, and this price can be oneself or others...
Although the protagonistâs initial character had major flaws that could easily scare off readers, the description of the grand backdrop aroused curiosity. At least Lucy was now knocking on Su Jiamengâs door remotely, wanting to know from her what exactly the Insect Race was and what Telekinesis was...
In the Interstellar Future, novels are countless, and elements similar to the Insect Race are not lacking. However, Lucy felt that this "Insect Race" wouldnât be that simple. Compared to other novelsâ vague descriptions, Xiao Mengâs portrayal of the Insect Race was more specific and vivid...
Su Jiameng naturally wouldnât reveal much about this, just gave a brief introduction and then went on with her own business. As for Lucyâs pressing and relentless demands for updates? Oh, sorry, she didnât sleep well last night, accidentally suffered temporary deafness, didnât hear it.
Because of Lucyâs urging, seeing that there was still time, Su Jiameng opened her document and continued typing rapidly.
The following scenes were rather happy and relaxed, or letâs say, the rare, clean memories of Su Jiamengâs second life. Without the threat of the Insect Race, without the pressure of death, simple and clean training, accompanied by a boyhood friend with a gentle and clean temperament by her side.
However, all participants in the training were geniuses whom the Alliance held high hopes for, and they wouldnât bow to one another, naturally leading to friction. Coupled with Su Jiamengâs consecutive losses of close relatives, her temper became sharp and sensitive, akin to a dynamite with a fuseâready to ignite at any moment.
