11. Mysterious Cloud Mall

Omg, it's hard enough just from dozens of books. There are many books that I want to put in the eleventh place, and finally I chose the Mysterious Cloud Mall. In the first half of the year, I read several dystopian novels, and two of them made the list in the end, namely "High Quality Nation" and "Mysterious Cloud Mall".

I put the latter in eleventh. First of all, the top ten books moved or touched me more than this one. I watched "Gentlemen of Moscow" and "Fantasy Post Office" so many times that my eyes got wet. There are also some that are more practical for me, such as "Having an Appointment with Success" and "Let's Live Life with Heart Today".

As for why it is also a dystopian novel, "Quality Nation" will be ranked higher?

1/Story background

"Cloud Mall" and "High Quality Nation" both have a little more characters, but I personally think that because the main scene setting of "Cloud Mall" is relatively closed, it will affect the promotion of characters. In "Cloud Mall", some side characters feel that they are not extended enough, which makes me feel weird. And "High Quality Nation" because the main scene setting is that the whole society can make you feel the characteristics of different characters, even small characters will not be insufficient.

2/ black humor

The black humor bursts in "Quality Nation" make me often smile/wry from my heart when I read it. And I feel a sense of resonance, because many things will be felt more or less. On the contrary, "Cloud Mall" is weaker in this regard, and it can be said to be relatively hardcore (?). Therefore, for me, who wants to have a little laugh when reading novels, I would prefer "High Quality Country".

3/ male and female lead

Yes, the love line of the male and female protagonists. I don't really want a sad end, and "Cloud Mall" feels like a double sad end to me. I didn't want to read BE's heart-abuse novels, but it was a little unpleasant to be suddenly abused at the end. In "Nation of Quality", most of the characters who deserve a happy ending have a happy ending, so I like them even more.

The above is a little bit of my own personal analysis. If there is a book that I haven't talked about before but you are interested in, you can also tell me. I will post more details.
