415. Encountered a package of unknown origin when there were only three girls at home
"...How could this happen! Is this kind of plot feeding durian to readers? I can't believe there is such an author!"
At the end, Kirino threw the book on the table in frustration.
"Well, Mrs. Xiaotongtong, even so, the story is quite interesting, isn't it?
Isn’t the final result also very good?”
Although the ending is also a bit beyond Saori's expectations, Saori is a rationalist after all.
"But! The protagonist of the third volume, this uncle named Blitzcrank, I can't understand what he is doing at all!"
Saori's persuasion had little effect on the impatient Kirino. She was so angry when she was reading a book that she couldn't help but feel unhappy now:
"This guy, it was okay to kill such a cute blond lolita daughter at the beginning, but what happened next?
While saying beautiful words like "How about you try to look forward to this world a little longer?", he actively sought out the evil god to perform the resurrection ritual.
After meeting Altair and the others, they all relied on Altair's power to get their daughter back from the evil god, but then they turned around and betrayed Altair and the others for the sake of the world...
During the battle, I kept paddling, and my position was not clear at all... Ah, trouble, I hate this guy anyway!"
"Well, it's a very popular idea. There are many people who think like you in online forums and post bars."
Regarding Kirino's dissatisfaction, Wu Geng Liuli said that it was not incomprehensible.
"It's just that I can't understand the setting and behavior of Blitzcrank's character, and I feel uncomfortable."
"Let's just say it! The author of this thing called [Star Moment] is definitely looking for trouble on purpose?!"
"However, in addition to the criticism of this character on the Internet, there are also voices that are equal to the criticism and vindicate this character.
As an important character in the third volume, if Blitzcrank had not killed his daughter with his own hands, the evil god would have arrived a few years ago without the human forces knowing anything about it, and the world itself might have perished long ago.
After that, Blitzcrank was able to struggle for several years in a world of regret and hopelessness, relentlessly searching for a way to revive his daughter, dealing with evil gods, and making deals.
He even had a desire to die...
In the end, he succeeded, but because of this he met Altair and the others and owed a favor.
Later, when Blitzcrank knew that as long as Altair and the others existed, they would become the cause of the world's destruction again.
Do you think that after regaining her daughter and having hope in her life, Blitzcrank will do whatever it takes to protect this hope?
Or will he just watch his daughter, who finally survived, be destroyed along with the world?"
After a long narration, Wu Geng Liuli took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
In terms of novels, she actually pays more attention to the understanding of the plot than a rationalist like Saori.
But now she is facing Kirino, who is an emotional person through and through:
"Hmph! - There is no way to change this world view setting, so I won't talk about it for now.
But anyway, I just can't like Blitzcrank. Alina is obviously so cute and gentle, but as a father, there is no trace of gentleness at all. Are they really the biological father and daughter?
Really..."
After saying that, Tongno turned away his head in annoyance, looking stubborn.
Seeing her like this, Wu Geng Liuli was a little reluctant.
"But there's no way around it. Blitzcrank's world view doesn't allow him to be gentle to anyone other than his daughter.
Should we instead praise his perseverance to persevere to the end in this unreasonable fate?"
"Oh, it's black. Does that mean you really like this character?"
Kirino understood that Gogeng Ruri should be the legendary "push". Simply put, it is the kind of reader who has a particularly strong sense of identification with a certain character.
Wu Geng Liuli also generously flipped her long hair and admitted it.
"Well, I have to admit that there were times when I couldn't understand what Blitzcrank was doing, but if I read it a few more times, I'd eventually understand that what Blitzcrank was doing was the responsibility an adult should have.
Maybe this is the difference between adults and...children?"
"Hey! Do you mean that I am a child?"
Seeing the provocative look on Wu Geng Ruri's face, Kirino immediately ran away angrily, but she couldn't bear the provocation of this black goth lolita at all.
"Where? I just want you to grow up?"
“It all means the same thing, doesn’t it?!”
"Well, can you two calm down? The topic has gone off the rails. Isn't our purpose today to appreciate the novel "Altaïr"?"
At the right time, peacemaker Shazhi entered the battlefield.
"I think, regardless of how the character Blitzcrank Tuca is, but because of his existence, the world view of the third volume has been well presented, and the story has become interesting, right?
Moreover, no matter whether it is good or bad, the character of Blitzcrank is very fleshed out and real, so it has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, right?"
"Yes, as Saori said, even if they are villains and villains, charming characters can always penetrate into the hearts of readers."
At the fifth watch, Liuli is thoughtful.
"Well... that's true... Tsk, even though I hate him very much, I still remember the existence of this character, even if it wasn't my original intention."
Kirino also admitted it arrogantly.
"Humph, that's it. I think this is the purpose of the author of [The Moment of the Star], and this book was written with a focus on [character creation]!"
"If you say so, it's not like you don't have this feeling..."
Seeing Shazhi looking at her and specifically reminding her, Wu Geng Liuli was a little surprised.
"The Divine Comedy - Altair now has three volumes, each volume has a new world view, and if there are no accidents, this model of infinite world view will continue in the future, right?"
"That's it. This is what the author is so good at. He does it like One Thousand and One Nights or One Thousand and One Stories...
This new writing model has already been imitated by many authors. In theory, wouldn’t it be possible to write indefinitely?”
"Black Cat is right, many fantasy novels are based on the characters' adventures and exist to create a complete world view.
But in this novel, every worldview in it seems to be... deliberately set that way in order to highlight the image of a certain character.
There is nothing superfluous in it, which is very admirable.
Well...it's just a little intuition from me. Don't worry about it, Black Cat."
Black Cat shook his head.
"There is no such thing, Shaori.
Are you saying that I should combine the world view with the creation of characters...is this what you mean?"
"That's it, whether it's mainly about world view or characterization, as long as the story is interesting.
In fact, settings that have nothing to do with the story or characters can be ignored for the time being. As long as they are logical, few people will care."
Then Kirino also answered:
"In other words, your super thick set collections can be thrown away. That's it. Do you understand?"
"No, no, it's just for the author to read alone, or to sell as peripherals later. There's no need to throw it away."
Afraid of quarreling with Gogeng Ruri again in the face of Kirino's provocative suggestions, Saori quickly added.
"What? To read one book, you need to compare it with another book, or do you have to read the original novel?
This kind of fan story is a bit excessive no matter how you look at it, right?”
"...Anyway, my setting amount is still too high, right?"
Wu Geng Liuli understood that Shaori was tactfully pointing out the shortcomings in her works.
Different from the rude and rude confession of a certain tea woman, Saori has always been tactful as long as she can...
Chapter completed!
