Chapter 60 - Evaluation and New Book (1/3)


Of course,where there are fans, there are haters. in addition to true fans who expectedmuch more, there were some haters that were swearing at Yang Yi.


“Theshortest ReadNovelFull in history!”


“Youdon"t have to read it. It was finished after only more than 400,000 words, it"sdefinitely a eunuch!” (TN: He"s saying the novel was abandoned or "cutoff")


“Whatthe heck was that? Did anyone understand the ending?”


“Theauthor is short and fast. Useless!”


“Everyonecan wash up and go to sleep. Why the heck does the website go all out to promotethis book?”


No one knew wherethese haters came from. Maybe there were people who really don’t like this typeof books, maybe there were cynical people who are maliciously causing trouble,or maybe some author who thought that Yang Yi has touched their interests hasbought a water army? (TN: Water army: Internet term that means paid onlineusers to do promotion or smear others" name.)


None of thiswas clear. However, it was a big mistake for them to appear at this time!


The newsthat Yang Yi was about to finish his book has long been circulating in variousmajor forums. A lot of book fans just happened to gather here, not to mentionthat a considerable number of them were hot-blooded veterans who are loyal fansof Yang Yi. How could they bear to see these despising comments.


All of asudden, the haters were scolded so badly that except for some strong waterarmy, other individual users all shrank and shivered, and dared not touch thisbad luck again.


The heatdissipated a little. After an hour, two hours, or a day or two, the real evaluationcame.


First, let’stake a look at the evaluation from Mu Yucheng. This guy, using the smallkeyboard of his cellphone, pressed it word by word, and it took him more thanan hour to finish.


“Great Yang"snovel is the best one I have read in recent years! Let"s not talk about his depictionof military life, and his description of the spirit of special forces orsoldiers who don"t abandon or give up. I will not talk about these. Here, Ijust want to sigh with emotion about Great Yang’s portrayal of each character.It was really G.o.dly!


There is no doubtthat Xu Sanduo is the protagonist, and his character is very special, and hisperformance all the way makes people want to laugh and cry, but in fact, this novelis not only won by Xu Sanduo, but also by Gao Cheng, Shi Jin, Cheng Cai, WuLiuyi, Yuan Lang and so on!


My personalfavorite character is Squad Leader Shi Jin! Because he attached greatimportance to affection and righteousness. Because of a promise to Xu Sanduo, heexhausted his mind! Because he will exhaust all his efforts for his soldiers. Likea sentimental woman, he led by example and diligently gave advice!


One of themost memorable events is when Shi Jin retired from the army. He had guarded thecapital for ten years, but he had never been to the capital once. But when heand Gao Cheng were walking on the streets of the capital, he cried. Thathelpless and lost tears were heartbreaking.


Besides ShiJin, there are other outstanding characters…”


From hispost, it can see that Mu Yucheng really read the novel very carefully, and the dispositionof each supporting character seemed to be imprinted on his mind, and everysmall deed was readily available to him. (TN: He knows every small detail ofthe novel.)


Afterreading the book, it always makes people choke up with emotions and spiteverything out. in addition to the long post sent by Mu Yucheng, there are manyinsightful posts in the book review area, such as the following comment from aveteran of a special operations unit. (TN: spit everything out - letting outone"s pent up emotions.)


“Themost realistic military novel. The author is definitely from a special forcesbackground, and there are many details of special operation in it that most peoplereally don’t know!


Theconfidentiality regulation prevents me from making small talk with the author, butI have been a soldier for 12 years, including five years in special forces. Ican see that many details in this novel are consistent with the actualsituation. There is no sense of absurdity that other novels gave me!


For example,the plot where Unit A was besieged by the dealers, everyone can go back andlook at it. It was described very long, but the war period wasn"t dragged onfor a long time. Condensed into a few words, first is the sneak attack and thebomb was used to get rid of other party, and then the cover fire. The sniper long-rangeobservation makes up for any leak!


Resolve thebattle in half an hour, then quickly clean the battlefield, and evacuate in 15minutes!


The author’sdescription fully conforms to the requirements of special operations, which isto fight when you come, to behead when you fight, and to leave immediatelyafter the fight, never delay doing things!


I once reada novel in which a team of special forces went on a mission. After achievingtheir goal, they were still there talking, smoking, and taking a break for twohours. It really triggered me. Come on, they were in enemy’s territory. Why didn’tthey leave after they were done? Were they waiting for someone else to encircleand suppress them?


Fortunately,“Soldier a.s.sault” didn"t have such a stupid plot. I give the author afull score.”


The personwho posted this post didn"t know that there were many unreasonable things inthe original “Soldier a.s.sault”. For example, in this plot, theoriginal author wrote that the battle had been fought all night, but there werestill living people in the village!


Not onlythat, but in the later stages of the search, the TV also showed a whole bunchof people searching, making the people who is familiar with this kind of work complainabout it.1 (TN: I"m not really sure if I got this right.)


Yang Yihesitated for a long time in the process of transporting this, but decided tomodify these unreasonable places according to some memories of the previousYang Yi.


Of course,Yang Yi will not likely see this post, but there are a lot of popular scienceposts and discussion posts in the book review area, which help those who areeager to find someone to share after reading the novel find a place, and someeven jokingly said: “The book review is better than the original series…”


Takingadvantage of the large number of fans that have gathered, Qiyue also took theopportunity to put up an advertis.e.m.e.nt for Yang Yi’s new book on various pages:Notice: Seven days later, Yang Yi, the author of “Soldier a.s.sault”, willreturn with a new book about the G.o.d of war during the War of Resistanceagainst j.a.pan “Drawing Sword”, eulogizing an immortal monument!


All of a sudden,the book review area became lively again.


“A newbook will be released in seven days? I’m looking forward to Great Yang’s book!”


“Is thename of the new book “Drawing Sword “? It sounds hot-blooded, but isthis a war with cold weapons?”


“Didn’t.i.t say it was about the G.o.d of war during the War of Resistance against j.a.pan? Thisshould be a story of fighting back the invasion of j.a.pan in the last century!It’s definitely not a war with cold weapon, but I don’t know what the word“Drawing Sword” means.”


“Nomatter what, my alarm is set. It"s coming out next week. I’m so excited! I wantto read it sooner!”


“Ithought that after reading "Soldier a.s.sault, I would fall into a book shortagefor a long time. Haha, I didn’t expect the author to be so awesome!”


“Whynot release it today? I can’t wait!”


“I hopethe great Yang didn"t learn from the other cheap stuff in Qiuye and maintainhis own style. As long as it is written at the same standard of ‘Soldier a.s.sault’,I will fully support it!” This is obviously a book fan from Iron BloodNetwork.


Mu Yuchengonly saw the news when he went to work the next day. He almost threw his mobilephone into the subway track due to his excitement.


“The GreatYang Yi’s character is guaranteed, his update speed is fast, and the quality ofhis novel is high. I believe that "Drawing Sword" will also be a good novel! Firstof all, I"d like to offer a piece of red! Looking forward to it… ” (TN: A pieceof red - red envelope.)


After MuYucheng finished giving out his reward, his excitement still hasn"t subsided. Hehas made up his mind that when the author’s new book comes out, he would notonly give a bigger red envelope, but he will also invite his friends to readit!


Although not the most local tyrant fans, but this number one hardcore fan, “Mu Yuchen” is set! (TN: This "Mu Yuchen" (沐雨辰) is different from Mu Yucheng (穆钰诚). It should have a different meaning but I just couldn"t find out what it means. The only thing that I found is it means "bathe in the rain".


______________


TN: The (1/3) at the t.i.tle means that this is just one part of a whole chapter. The author just divide it into 3 parts with different chapter name. Previous chapters also had this. I just didn’t add it.


TN: I gotstuck with this paragraph. I really don"t get it. Here"s the raw: 不仅如此,后面的搜捕环节,电视里还出现了全部人挤成一团去搜索的队形,让许多真正懂行的人吐槽不已。What Igot from this was that he was talking about the TV version of this novel.Remember that what Yang Yi wrote was the TV version of this and not the actualnovel, since the author think the TV version was better than the novel one. Itwas pointing out that the TV version have this flaw.


TN: Just some translator rant: The author tends to talk about or trying to promote other works in his novel and I kinda don"t mind it but to dedicate one or more chapters about it is irritating to me. The author didn"t even talk about the main story for the last 2 chapters. This is like a novel within a novel.
