"This kind of background is enough to make one the protagonist of a novel." Sun Hang commented.
"But there are no novel protagonists destined to not live past fifty!" Candle Dragon laughed.
"That's how novels are now—nine out of ten seek a protagonist that's amazing and invincible, readers can't tolerate the protagonist suffering even a little, and authors are afraid the story is not exciting enough causing readers to abandon their book. If we go back ten or twenty years, protagonists with tragic endings were not rare, topics like heaven being jealous of talent or heroes falling into ruin always brought great emotion..."
Sun Hang paused, then continued, "Moreover, plots about defying fate are the most gripping ones. What previous generations of Candle Dragons couldn't achieve, doesn't mean you can't either."
"Are you trying to comfort me?" Candle Dragon asked.
"No, I'm just simply discussing novels with you." Sun Hang replied.
