His short stories are known for their rich language. He had a way with words that could paint vivid pictures in the reader's mind. The descriptions in his stories are detailed, whether it's about a spooky old house or a desolate landscape, which adds to the overall mood.
Well, 'The White People' is an important piece in his collected fiction. It contains elements of the occult and the uncanny. Machen uses his writing to blur the lines between the real and the supernatural, making the reader question what is possible. His detailed descriptions of the strange rituals and the mindset of the characters add to the overall allure of this work.
There are also characters who are more on the fringes of society. Machen liked to use these types of characters to show different perspectives. They might be hermits or people with a somewhat seedy past, and their unique outlooks play important roles in the development of the stories.
The characters included the male protagonist, Han Ding, who was the leader of the human race, the male protagonist, Taba Lie, who was the leader of the human race and couldn't do without him, and the female supporting character, Celia, who was a good helper in the development of science and technology.
[The Little Man in the Box Called Me Ren Zu] Author: A newbie who wrote a broken book. It's a sci-fi/super technology novel with big elements of imagination.
User recommendation: Han Ding received a magical big fridge.
There was a small world in the fridge.
There were thousands of races in this world, and the human race was almost extinct.
Han Ding stretched out a finger and crushed a monster to death. He helped the warriors of the human tribe solve a crisis and was crowned as the leader of the human race.
Han Ding, the leader of the human race, provided ice cream, food, water, and ironware to the minions in the refrigerator world.
I found a gold mine to provide gold to Han Ding.
From then on, Han Ding helped the little people in the refrigerator world complete their technological revolution by selling gold bars and gold beans, buying weapons, technology, oil, metals, and rare ores.
"That's a human carrier!" The Iron Wings Race was terrified."That's a human carrier!"
"Apocalypse Tank!" The bull's horns trembled.
"Space-time guided missiles!!" The Giant Strength God Race's eyes were solemn as they said word by word.
Who sent the box?
What kind of waves would the technological development of the little people create in this world of ten thousand races that was tens of thousands of times the size of the blue planet?
How strong was the Shen clan? What was above the god race? What was the strongest in the Myriad Races World?
The vast world of ultimate technology was slowly unfolding...
I hope you will like this book.

(Fantasy world, historical skewers, a combination of food and history!) Please take it as a cool article, don't take your brain to study it carefully!)
4."Reborn AI, the Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation Composed Has Come True":[Through big data search, the Ming Dynasty advocated the style of ancient martial arts. The black-robed prime minister Yao Guangxiao proved his Dao with martial arts. His tomb contains secret manuals that have been handed down for generations. Marrow Cleansing Classic, Body Training Secret Skill, Four Seas Dragon Subduing Palm, and other ancient martial arts. His sword, the Seven Star Dragon Slaying Sword, and Zhu Di's saber, the Nine Refined Star Moon Saber, were all made by him. He created the martial arts flourishing age of the Ming Dynasty...]
The AI's reply attracted the attention of countless people. Naturally, no one believed this ridiculous message.
However, a group of grave robbers found Yao Guangxiao's tomb under the guidance of an AI, and a seven-year-old girl learned ancient martial arts through the AI and fought against dozens of people…
This AI's reply blew up the entire internet!
Immediately after, the AI gave various replies again.
[Through big data search, the Song Dynasty Taoism flourished, and it subdued demons and ghosts...]
[Through big data search, Buddhist culture prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, reincarnation, suppression of demons...]
[Through the big data search, humans and gods coexisted in the Han Dynasty, and the passageway between the divine realm and the human realm was not closed...]
[Through the big data search, everyone in the Qin Dynasty could cultivate. The First Emperor unified the world and used the power of the world to cultivate and ascend, creating the path of Immortal Qin...]
[Through big data search, ancient times…]
As the history of the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, and many others that the AI mentioned came out one after another, people realized that the history that people knew was so shallow and one-sided...
5."Song Man in the Box": 9.99 yuan for a set box, but what came was a sand table...
"What city is that?"
"Brother, that's Tokyo City."
6."The Doomsday Game in the Box":"The Doomsday Game came true, but it was integrated into the Landscape Box."
After the nuclear winter, the chaotic era finally passed. The wasteland era officially began, and human civilization fell back greatly. However, the technological civilization before the war was like a treasure waiting to be discovered by the humans on the wasteland.
The above was just the background settings he had written for the game.
Until one day, he customized a landscape box online…
The doomsday game that belonged to him would slowly progress in his hands.
7."Big Ming: Yulin military household in the box sneaked into officialdom": Zhu Zheying received a landscape box from his mother.
Inside the box was a residence with two courtyards. The small people in the courtyard had a fierce argument and escalated into a bloody incident.
Out of curiosity, Zhu Zheying wanted to know if the blood in the case was salty, so he stuck out his index finger and poked it into the case. An unlucky little man who was about to commit murder was accidentally poked and flew far away.
8."Doomsday Fortress Besieged in the Box": The title of the book is "Tower Defense in the Box". The 15th chapter of the Tower Defense Plot has been opened.
After Zhen Fan lost his job, he received a strange metal suitcase. A Mini programs called [Doomsday Fortress Besieged] appeared on his phone and deducted all his savings.
The box was an apocalyptic environment, and small people from other worlds would constantly appear.
Thus, he became the master god of the miniman, and the miniman became his follower.
"When the miniman survives the zombie tide, Zhen Fan will gain Wealth. When the miniman completes the mission, Zhen Fan will gain Wealth. When the miniman's mission rating increases, Zhen Fan's Wealth will double."
As long as he could protect the villains to survive in the apocalypse, Zhen Fan would be able to continue to obtain wealth.
He could also manually level up and awaken the little people, and drop Earth's resources into the boxes.
However, these resources would cause the backlash of the laws of the world, causing the small person in the box to undergo continuous tower defense tests.
...
All the humans on the blue planet passed through the apocalyptic world, and the young girl Lin Lu came to a place where zombies gathered.
Just as she was in despair, a Main God suddenly appeared. The opening gift pack gave her 30 minutes of Main God's protection.
Next, Lin Lu and all the people on the blue planet were rejected by the laws of the world in the apocalyptic world. More and more Doomsday Army targeted them.
Zombie tide, Zerg army, strange army...
There were also various extreme environments that enveloped this pure land one after another-typhoons, rainstorms, ice, heat, fog…
Only by relying on the various resources of the Main God could they withstand these disasters.
The pork and vegetables on Earth were cooked by the miniman into extraordinary dishes that increased attributes and recovery abilities.
The model on Earth, after absorbing the doomsday aura, directly contained the source of power!
9."The Great Lord of the Primitive Era": Chen Tian had transmigrated to the primitive era where people ate raw meat and drank blood.
All naked? No clothes to wear? I'll teach you how to make clothes!
Eating only fruits? Can't you eat some meat? I'll teach you how to hunt!
Was the cave uncomfortable? No house to live in? I'll teach you how to build a house!
Can't beat others in a fight? No good weapons? I'll give you new weapons!
Opening up farmland, raising livestock, building cities…
Chen Tian led the group of primitive people and gradually transformed into terrifying upright apes, dominating the land!

Faced with the dangerous Otherworld, Chen Lin decisively chose to hand it over!
From then on, the otherworldly conquering army descended!
12:"There's Enough Plain Congee and Pickled Vegetables, Why Am I Wearing an Imperial Robe?":"If I were to be given the corvee of ancient times, where they only ate plain congee and pickled vegetables for every meal and worked eight hours a day, would they rebel?"
Liu Zhenhua happened to see this post and immediately turned into a keyboard warrior to retort.
Who knew that in the next second, he really transmigrated to the end of the Ming Dynasty and became a minor official in charge of the corvee. His golden finger could give his subordinates plain porridge and pickled vegetables.
A rebellion? Liu Zhenhua only wanted to say,"Who put the imperial robe on me? It's really hard on me.".
Superpowers: I Can Travel to the Tang Empire: That's Right! As you can see from the title of the book, my superpower is to be able to travel back to the Great Tang.
14:"The house goes through the end of Ming Dynasty, the opening door leads to North America": Liu Sheng wakes up and discovers that he has traveled to the end of Ming Dynasty with his villa! At the same time, there was a back door in the house, but it led to North America!
"Global Freezing: I Build a Technology Tree in the Sanctuary": Mysterious alien spaceship crashed into the North Pole, causing an unprecedented cold current. The Altaic Mountains and the Qinling Mountains were unable to stop the cold air from moving southward.
A few days later, the lowest temperature in the tropics dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius. The world ushered in an era of ice, and only the humans who had originally hidden in the refuge survived.
In the face of the extreme cold disaster, Rosen had an additional "Doomsday Shelter System" to raise upgrade points and unlock the "technology tree." As the technology tree upgraded and grew, survival was no longer a problem.
However, with the appearance of extremely cold-resistant unknown alien creatures in the wild, humans who went out to search for supplies were killed!
One day, Rosen would descend with the fallout shelter!
Rosen,[My goal is to build a super-large sanctuary that will protect all humans in the world!]
"Three Kingdoms: The Imperial City in the Box": Lin Rui found a mysterious landscape box in his ancestral home. It turned out to be the Imperial City of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
There was an empty Emperor Ling of Han in the Imperial City. Lin Rui was not interested in him.
Instead, he was a little interested in the Empress who could empty his body.
"I'm Really a Transmigrator". Tagged: Future World, Space-Time Text, Transmigration, Technology.
[The highlight of the book: Technology should be the selling point of this book (but it doesn't seem to be reflected now). The selling point is the various pretentious plots.]
[My personal opinion: It's mainly about acting tough and slapping people in the face. It's not particularly obvious in the first world. The second world seems to be a template for the return of the Act-Tough King. It remains to be seen how it will be.]
The recommendation was updated on July 21st, 2023.
18."Walking to the Northern Song Dynasty": If you can bring supplies to the Song Dynasty.
Should they raise an army to fight for supremacy and save the Song Dynasty that was about to be destroyed?
Or enjoying the prosperity in Tokyo?
Let's be a small landlord first!
19:"The Great Tang in the Vat": Recently, there have been many imitations of "The Great Ming in the Box", and this book is the same. However, there are currently supernatural powers such as true energy. It is not pure history, so be careful.

Robert Aickman and Arthur Machen are both masters in the field of ghost stories. Their works often feature a sense of the uncanny and the unknown. Aickman's stories tend to be more psychologically complex, delving deep into the human psyche. Machen, on the other hand, has a more traditional approach in some ways, with elements of Welsh folklore often seeping into his tales. Their stories are not just about scaring the reader but also about exploring deeper themes such as the nature of reality, human nature, and the existence of the supernatural. Reading their works can be a journey into a world that blurs the line between the real and the imagined.
One key difference is their narrative pacing. Machen sometimes has a more straightforward pacing, leading the reader through the events in a more linear fashion. Aickman, however, likes to play with time and perception, which can make his stories feel more disorienting. Another aspect is the use of characters. Machen's characters often seem to be more archetypal, representing certain types within the context of his stories. Aickman's characters are more complex individuals with their own internal struggles that are often at the heart of the supernatural events they experience.
