Chapter 7 Conclusion an era of ghost fiction

The first draft of this article was published in installments, and the full text was completed in stop-and-write and stop-and-write.In addition, it is difficult for me to say that I have a deep understanding of the works of Huanzhu Louzhu, but it is only based on the superficial impressions I left when I watched them for leisure.Of course, we can't talk about choosing the subtleties and exploring the secrets, knowing the insights well.Now when it is printed as a volume, although it has been sorted out, it is still very hasty.Wrong words and inconsistencies are unavoidable. I really intend to write an article about Zhuanzhu Zhuzhu.The reason is not that I knew him, but because his works appeared and became popular, which are really worth noting.Whether you say he is good or not, it is true enough to be a "problem".

This work of mine will not have any impact on the original owner of Huanzhu.And the works of Huanzhuzhulouzhu really have a place in the recent history of Chinese novels.Although some people strongly oppose it, it still cannot be obliterated, and it cannot be regarded as "nothing". First, even if his novels of ghosts and ghosts have declined in the future, there was once a grand occasion of spreading like wildfire—a period like the present, which is an undeniable fact. Second, his novels of gods and monsters have opened up a new road in the history of Chinese ghost novels. According to my personal experience, no one has traveled this road before.He melted modern physics into his fantasy, forming a special style of work, which is completely different from the ghost novels written by predecessors and recent people.

No matter how people feel about Huanzhu Louzhu's novels of gods and monsters, personally, I will never despise his works, and I admire his "mysterious meditation" and his "unbridled ocean" in writing, especially for his works. The creation of the illusion has the power of writing like a god. Those works should be regarded as the first draft of Huanzhu Zhuzhuzhu. I hope that after they are all completed, there will be a chance to revise them. The length does not need to be so long. It might as well spend more time. It will definitely represent "an era" of Chinese fairy tales.I look forward to him doing this, and I am preparing to rewrite a 100,000-word paper for him.
