First, a disclaimer: I'm no good at writing, so if you're going to read on, Guan Da, proceed with caution...
I've recommended Guan Da's Immortal Road to loads of people (that goes without saying; it's perfectly normal), and after reading it, they all asked me basically the same question: there are so many poems in it, and it's so lyrical—can you actually understand it?
I'm sweating here~~~
They're all longtime bookworms who borrow several books from bookstores every day and check online updates at least once every two days, so I wasn't surprised they asked that. The reason was obvious: the quality of online novels these days was so poor it had corroded their nervous systems. Sigh, Boss Guan, your arrival really was just too...
I used to read books by writers like Er Yuehe. I don't know whether Guan Da has read them, but personally, I feel Guan Da has the same bearing of a true master~~ What you write is absolutely a cut above the vast majority of online writers, and the impression you've given me in the review section is much better than that of other authors (I'm talking about your admirable modesty here. You've probably heard plenty of that already, so I won't waste words on it...).
(My thoughts jump around so much that even I can't understand what I've written when I read it again a couple of days later, and my writing is lousy too. If reading this wears you out, just skip straight to the last sentence.)
I'd like to offer a small suggestion. Guan Da has a wonderful way with words, and there are countless poems, lyrics, songs, and rhapsodies in the book. Most really did make this humble reader close the book and linger over them
