Introduction
Zichuan is an excellent online fantasy novel written by Lao Zhu. 'Zichuan' uses humorous and witty language, with delicate and moving writing, to depict a unique and wonderful world for readers. It presents a group of characters with different personalities, one by one, in front of the readers. It composes a tragic song that is both heroic and sorrowful.
Two hundred years ago in the Blue River battlefield, the last legion of the Empire of Light collapsed amid the clamor of the demon race, and the empire's final marshal and emperor were killed in battle. On the chaotic West River Continent, there was no common ruler, and warlords arose and fought each other. Strength became the only capital for survival, and dominating the world was the dream of countless generations of strong warriors.
In the southeastern part of the continent, there is a powerful force with a history of more than two hundred years—the Zichuan family. They blocked demons in the east, struck the Liufeng family in the west, and suppressed the Lin clan in the south. For the dream of power and the passing down of family bloodlines, countless Zichuan heroes went forward one after another, composing an epic and magnificent hymn of heroism. This novel 'Zichuan' tells the story of the century-long tragic saga of such a family.
Review
Highly readable, with high standards in narrative tension, suspense setting, and pacing. The author shows considerable skill in handling multiple main supporting characters simultaneously. The reviewer especially appreciates the scene where Zichuan Xiu meets Liufeng Shuang before the statue of the Zichuan ancestor. The author's strength is evident in maintaining the atmosphere, without the narrative running off track midway.
