Smith and Wesen: A Modern Blacksmith's Magical Reincarnation

Smith and Wesen: A Modern Blacksmith's Magical Reincarnation

"You're just a Nenner! A glorified blacksmith! You can't possibly stand up against a Zahler's elemental power!" "As if that'll stop me! A Zahler might have the elements under their control, but that won't matter if I have a Seigel-riddled weapon for every occasion!" ⬛⬛⬛ Wesen... the innate power within that allows a person to manipulate the world around them. While it sounded straightforward enough, Rouge still has a lot to learn if he wanted to harness it for his own benefit. Thankfully, being a standard guy with blacksmithing as a hobby had given him a headstart in the new pseudo-medieval world that he now found himself in. In fact, blacksmithing in general is an integral part of his new life and the Wesen-filled wonders that entailed it. It was a good thing too, especially since it would be the one ticket he had to get out of the servitude of the Empire that insisted on grinding him under its heel. With his newfound power of rune-like Seigels at his disposal, Rouge will take the Matheman Empire by storm as he builds his rebellion into a force to be reckoned with. He will ensure that his fellow Nenners will be free from the Empire's oppressive practises, and he sure as hell will do it if it was the last thing he did. Well, that, and he refused to live in a backwater medieval world for longer than he could manage it. His modern sensibilities demanded proper technology, and he was sure that even his half-complete understanding of modern science will give him the edge he needs to take on a literal continent-spanning Empire. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ UPDATES: Daily 19:00 JST Twitter: @ChellyArks

Another aspect is the use of symbolic and metaphorical elements. These novels use various symbols that can represent complex ideas or emotions. Take 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka as an example. Gregor's transformation into an insect is a powerful symbol for alienation and the dehumanizing effects of modern life. In modern surreal novels, such symbols are often more complex and multi - layered.

I also recommend 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. It has a complex and surreal structure, with text that plays with layout and form. The story within the story is full of strange and unexplained phenomena. And then there's 'The Wind - Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. It has elements of mystery, dreams, and a world that defies normal logic.

Another great one is 'The King in Yellow' by Robert W. Chambers. It contains a series of stories that are connected by the presence of a play, also called 'The King in Yellow'. Reading the play within the stories is said to drive people insane, and the overall atmosphere of the book is one of creeping dread and otherworldly horror.

Surreal Japanese novels often blend the real and the imaginary seamlessly. For example, in Haruki Murakami's works, ordinary settings like Tokyo are filled with extraordinary elements such as talking cats or disappearing people. Another characteristic is the exploration of the subconscious. Characters' dreams and inner thoughts are often presented as if they were part of the real world, blurring the boundaries. Also, there is a sense of mystery. Events happen without clear explanations, leaving readers to piece together the meaning, much like in a dream where logic is not always straightforward.

Well, a major characteristic is the exploration of the subconscious. The stories often delve into the deeper, hidden parts of the mind. This can be seen in the strange dreams and hallucinations that are sometimes part of the plot, as in 'The Crying of Lot 49'. Another aspect is the mixing of different genres. They combine detective elements with elements of the supernatural, science - fiction, or fantasy. This gives the novels a unique flavor. The settings are usually very atmospheric, whether it's a gloomy cityscape or a strange, uncharted territory. And the detectives themselves may have some extraordinary abilities or insights that are not typical in traditional detective stories, which helps them navigate the surreal landscapes they find themselves in.
