Speaking of the dance between sinners and dragons, this light novel is called "Japanese original dark light novel" because of its cruel expression. I think the darkness in ACGN works is to write a story with ACGN as the carrier, and then show some darkness, depression and so on through the story. The connotation of his story is also hierarchical. Although it can't be said that darkness is better, it will be a little different.
A, "Sword World", the struggle between teenagers and adults.
At first, I want to mention the shallower darkness. For example, in ALO, Sword of God, Asina is attracted by a suspicious researcher. In order to save her, Tongren had to fly to the top of the world tree. With his previous adventures and the authority left by Heathcliff, he successfully defeated the Elf King and rescued Yasina. In the real world, the event ended successfully with the help of a committee. Similar events include "smiling coffin"
Justice and evil are clearly stated in The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man. Tongren belongs to the righteous side, and his opponent is either an adult swallowed up by desire or a degenerate peer. Most of these stories are about the triumph of good over evil. Although the process is tortuous, there are some costs, but justice is bound to succeed, and the darkness in the story is also to reflect the meaning of light.
Most light novels and anime works are like this, and there are countless examples, so I won't talk about this category here.
Second, regarding Gen Urobuchi, the existence of darkness is infinitely magnified.
When it comes to darkness, Lao Xu is indispensable. Because all his stories are dark, he is called "the warrior of love" by readers. The senior who turns around in "The Witch's Small Circle" is the end of the witch; In Sayanouta, people and aliens will fall in love strangely; The twisted love between brother and sister in Ghost Crying Street; In angels in white, the dark elves provoke and kill humans and elves. ....
The darkness in Lao Xu's works is very intuitive. Compared with the story of "The Land of the Sword", what he wants to say in the story is that "evil must exist", and justice is often powerless in the face of evil.
Infinitely magnified malice, unchangeable ending, repeated reversals of the story, and finally reach the end point that no one can redeem. Maybe this is the story that Lao Xu wants to tell.
Thirdly, regarding Nestor mushroom, there was no redeemer at first.
Nereus is a whore (fog). When it comes to Nestor mushroom, it is easy to think of some female characters in his works, all of whom have tragic past. Mushroom once mentioned in the explanation of the library that "as long as we face the story sincerely, everyone will face the disease of not writing any ending." There are writers who have crossed it to write hope, and there are also writers who have confronted it to write ideals. The strength of both sides is correct, but the types are different. "This is his interpretation of Gen Urobuchi's story and his interpretation of himself.
Different from Lao Xu's tortuous stories, the stories of mushrooms are mostly the struggles of small people under the grand world outlook, and some characters are doomed to be irreparable. Asagami Fujino, who can't feel the pain in Painful Disability, Ilya in FSN and Alice in Fei are doomed to be tragedies from the beginning, but mushrooms will still give these tragic figures a barely acceptable ending at the end of the story.
Fourthly, about Romeo Tanaka, the weight and meaning of life.
Actually, I'm not very familiar with Tanaka either. The following are the comments of some famous artists. ..
Gen Urobuchi, a love warrior, said, "The darkness in Romeo Tanaka's heart is far beyond my reach. Its unfathomable and bottomless means often make peers feel afraid and envious. "
Kinoko Nasu said: "Entertainment and intellectuality, malice and kindness. The so-called power of dazzling writing is the words that exist for him. "
If you can play GALGAME, you should know very well that Tanaka's story reveals the pallor of life and the efforts after pallor, just like a candle knows that it is about to burn out and will burn hot. After playing his plays, you will understand that living is such a difficult thing, and the darkness and powerlessness are extremely painful.
You can search if you are interested. In fact, the stories he wrote are still difficult to read. After all, it is not a work of an era.
(PS: I don't talk much about "sinners dance with dragons". Personal feeling belongs to this darkness. )
Fourth, Seto Ren wild, describing and excavating desire.
If we want to say that Seto Lianye is an author, we have to mention the postscript of his novel Carnival. Even if you haven't played the game of his script writing, you can get a glimpse of the core of his story.
"When I was in elementary school, I used to be the feeding section chief in my class. There is a hut near the school gate with small animals such as parrots and chickens, which is responsible for cleaning and changing water.
That day, when I was complaining and cleaning the hut as usual, I suddenly found an egg lying next to the nest box. The eggs are getting cold. Then I suddenly thought of a cruel idea. I broke the egg in front of the hen. Crushed it with the front end of the broom handle. I think mother bird will show some disgust when she sees the body of her poor child.
But unexpectedly, the hen ate the broken eggs at an alarming rate. Peck the eggshell into pieces and wolf it down. Buried his mouth in the yellow liquid with a reddish blood film on it, and sometimes shook his head up and down, groaning with excitement, ecstatic. The eggs were all eaten in the blink of an eye, and the hen even ate all the soil stained with protein on the ground. After eating, I want to peck those white eggshells again.
Looking at this scene, my back was cold and my heart was pounding. Disgusting, disgusting, very scary, but somehow it makes me feel sacred. "
Yes, the most basic desire for survival has even abandoned the morality and ethics of the human world, which has made people feel distorted and uncomfortable. Although the author has never played his game, he only knows it through a light-colored memory answer, but he has time to really feel the darkness.
Finally, whether it is dark or not, the most attractive thing in Gen Urobuchi's works is his tortuous story. The most attractive thing in Nestor's works is that no matter how hopeless a character is, he will find a way to redeem himself. Tragedy is to destroy something of value for people to see.
So today I will briefly talk about the darkness of ACGN. It is worth throwing a brick to attract jade. There must be a big boss who said it better, so I look forward to it.
