Something to say about the book name, the cover and the classification.Please don’t drop because of its cover. I strongly advise the translator or someone in charge to change the cover. I feel like the cover suggests that the content is related to Cthulhu Mythos but actually there is no relation at all.Please don’t drop because of the book name. Many Chinese reader said that they skipped the book at the first see of the book name but found it exciting unexpectedly when they dropped it somehow.Two main parts constitute the plot: the first is the landlord and his tenants’ daily life, which exhibits a lot of humor; the second is the work as an inspector, where multiple civilizations and races in the universe are descripted and there existed a lot of moving stories about their fight against the disaster as a human.As for the first part, obviously the language and culture differences destroyed many humors but there is still something making Chinese and foreign readers alike laugh. ‘The record of unusual creature’ comes from this part. In qidian, the book name, combined with a very distinctive cover (the author just use the name with white board as its cover) suggests that the plot is a comedy about unusual world and creature. The second part, usually considered as the most exciting part makes the novel more resemble a sci-fi. Actually, it is classified as a sci-fi in Qidian. To descript this part, a more suitable book name would be ‘a contract from the god’ or ‘a Xiling inspector’s work in multiple universes’. But, I suppose, for commercial reason, the names serious as such are not adapted and the reader attracted by the first part wouldn’t drop the book because the second part is so exciting and attracting.But that is the case is for Chinese version. Now that many humors are spoiled, I think a more suitable book name for the second part would be better. The translated book doesn’t have to have a name the same as the original one anyway. I understand why the book is classified as a magic realism. The novel is nothing like a sic-fi in the first 200 chapters. But it is neither something like a magic realism in the remaining story. Hopefully there would be somebody in charge considering my suggestions.
I love this. The Traveler concept are fresh and makes this book different than others horror story.I am really sad near the ending knowing that Annie will be gone even if she is practically gone already but the cousin took me by surprise.Here, takes this solid 5* from me
"Tsk." He snickered at the counterattack. The boy seemed like a person that might just keep raising the price. Since he is a capable person, casually selling Gu Worms to Merchant Vendors. He would definitely be the one who decides the price, not the merchants themselves. He thought about it more untill he was ready to speak again.
