There used to be many online games novels in China. Why is there no sword?

Apart from writing, neither of Kawahara's two novels is about games or YY.

Someone in a light country once posted that Accelerating the World is about human nature and Excalibur is about life.

I think what he said is very good. Speed up the World seems to be talking about games, but it involves all kinds of problems caused by games. People's greed, hatred and desire are all reflected in it, especially the description of the player's fear when the program is about to uninstall and the disaster is a wonderful one.

The most attractive thing about Excalibur, another novel, is that although the leading role is very high, it is definitely not a YY novel. The novel repeatedly mentions a sentence "Although this is a game, it is not a joke", which runs through the whole novel as a line. In the first movie, this point was greatly expanded and presented to us-once people in the game die, they will die in reality. There is only one life, and the 4,000 people who died in Ian Grunter will never be resurrected, even if Tong people desperately want to be resurrected.

Different from the fantasy of domestic online games through YY novels, the protagonist is not in the mood of playing every time he fights, but in the mood of really dying if he makes a mistake; In the battle of Ian Grant, you will never say unfounded confident words like the protagonist Halo, such as "I am in the way here, I will definitely come back" and "I will definitely not die". Those are just bloody cartoons that we know you have the leading role aura and you have to show off the bastard everywhere. However, Sao is a game of death, and people who say such things are basically dead. In fact, the bronze man once said to Xing, "You must be." Security level is meaningless. Although it is 10, it is still meaningless and dangerous, such as the merits and demerits of the first floor. The boss raiders in the maze are always considering the retreat, such as the merits and demerits of the second floor; Rapid upgrading brings not pleasure, but death, such as the complete extinction of black cats. It can be said that although Tong Ren is the protagonist, he will never brag about his aura in the game of death, but he is clearly aware that clearing the blood volume means death.

Although some domestic novels also mentioned death, no one really wrote about the fear of death, which was just a sensation. It always gives us an unreal feeling that someone's death is not because of the advancement of the plot, but because the author let who die. Attacks on damned people will never happen to the protagonists in the same situation, so we always have an unreal feeling that those who died may come back to life at some point. However, Excalibur can't give me this feeling, but a real feeling. The dead cannot be resurrected, so life is more precious. The Battle of Floating City is unforgettable even if the game is cleared.

In addition, the difference between the sword realm and other novels lies in the fear of death, the fear of killing and the trembling under the real gun. It can be said that these descriptions are also the most shocking to me. Unlike the understated murder in YY's novels, Jasner still hesitates when giving Clatter the final blow. In the raiders group, there are still many people who can't overcome their fear of killing even if they lay down their weapons and die. Sword God describes this kind of psychology in detail, not through words and machinery, but through the atmosphere revealed in the article. Even in the end, the fact of killing people is still a sin hidden in their hearts. By comparing the descriptions of the protagonists of the first murder case in Douro, we can know how obvious this gap is, because even if it is just, in this peaceful era, the impact of murder on us is enormous, and it is by no means possible to mention it casually.

The best embodiment of this point in blade master Land is Death gun, a poem that shot and killed a robber, saved his mother, saved people nearby and protected himself, but it became a shadow in her heart and never recovered. What impressed me was not the truth, but Shi Naian's inner thoughts when he participated in psychotherapy. "So, have you ever tried to shoot someone?" This kind of psychology can be said to be a feeling hidden in each of us. It is easy to describe death in YY novels, but if there are those things in reality, is it really that easy? In addition, Death gun's description is also wonderful, that is, the poem is strong enough to face the May Fourth Black Star, and a pistol that can "kill" can't even be operated by his own HecateII. Imagine, in the face of real guns, we will never stop shaking, and how many people can not be afraid.

Some people may say that the concept of death has been mentioned in novels such as time travel, but in my personal feeling, it can't be compared with Sao, because it runs through the whole novel. The author hopes that we must recognize the reality. If today's YY novels go back hundreds of years, they won't expose too many lies. However, for us living in peacetime, fighting and death are not everywhere. Life is not a trivial matter that can be ignored when written, but something that needs special attention.

Look at the current major animation trends, which are basically common practices without much new content. According to a certain routine, the animation produced at high speed can't give people too much shock, so there will be some excellent works, such as "The Little Circle of Magical Girls", which kills a protagonist in three words, and "The Black God of the Strongest President" directly demotes the protagonist into a villain (now it has become a supporting role) and so on. How to be unconventional? Some people rack their brains to come up with new ideas, some people do the opposite, and some people change according to the wishes of the public. However, the high score at that time was only illusory and could not bring profound thinking. It's nothing more than sketches and cross talk jokes to pass the time. Only close to reality can it be called a literary work. Kawahara Reki's achievements today can only move people's hearts, because the writing style of the novel is empathetic.

It can be said that the Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man gives me the feeling that if the reality is really as fantastic as it says, then the things inside will really happen, which is the real action that "people" can do in that situation, not the author's ideal. However, domestic online novels are mostly fantasy, even delusion. Even if they are beautiful and novel, they can never give people a real feeling.

Of course, it's not that I hate domestic online novels, but there are some interesting ones (such as martial arts champions and variants), but they are just "interesting" and "interesting" and can't shock me.
