RE: Chapter 23: The 50-Year Echo第二十三章:五十年回声
It seems there are loads of clones of everyone walking around. That’s a bit different from having your dead body frozen – a strange technique that requires you to place a great deal of trust in a company, whilst paying a hefty bill well in advance.
Perhaps it would be better if every madman who’s so keen to live forever simply had himself cloned and had the one and a half brain cells he possesses transferred to a single robot model, though I have a feeling that these robots won’t work in the future either, certainly not in the event of a power cut.
The nice thing about the characters is that they can never die. It’s just like a video game. And whilst we’re on the subject: this could easily be turned into a video game – I think that would be brilliant.
In any case, you’ve managed to keep the tension going really well. Every now and then it’s a bit hard to follow the story, but at the same time certain parts from previous episodes become clearer.
It was a real pleasure to read your work.
看来每个人的克隆体都到处都是。这可跟把死去的身体冷冻起来大不相同——那是一种奇怪的技术,你不仅要对某家公司抱有极大的信任,还得提前很久就支付一笔不菲的费用。
也许,那些渴望永生的疯子们,不如干脆克隆自己,把仅有的那一个半脑细胞移植到一个机器人模型上,虽然我总觉得这些机器人在未来也无法正常运作,尤其是遇到停电的时候。
剧中角色的有趣之处在于他们永远不会死。这简直就像一款电子游戏。既然说到这里:这部剧完全可以改编成电子游戏,我觉得那会很棒。
无论如何,你确实很擅长保持故事的紧张感。虽然偶尔会有些难以跟上剧情,但与此同时,前几集中的某些情节也变得更加清晰了。
读你的文章真是太棒了。
Thank you so much for the deep dive, Kitty! And wow, I absolutely love your idea about turning this into a video game—that is the ultimate dream for any cyberpunk creator! You are completely right about those rich madmen. In the abandoned Old Sector, no matter how expensive your immortality tech is, it just becomes a rusted coffin the moment the power gets cut.
I also really appreciate your honest feedback on the story's complexity. The fragmented, sometimes confusing perspective is exactly what Yun Feng is experiencing in the dark, but I promise all those scattered puzzle pieces from previous chapters will eventually form a complete, terrifying picture. Stay tuned, because dealing with your own 'clone' is going to be a nightmare!
