Novel "Legend of the Earth God" - a fantasy world imbued with Vietnamese spirit

The fantasy novel “Legend of the Earth God”, by Appota & Nguyen Thai Duy, is one of the rare Vietnamese fantasy literary projects that builds a universe combining three elements: divine - native - technology on a large scale, with a strong cinematic quality and rich inner depth.

For many years now, fantasy literature on the Vietnamese market has been mostly translated from abroad, with few books by domestic authors. The launch of “The Legend of the Earth God” is considered a bold step forward for Vietnamese fantasy literature, expanding the creative range and shaping a new approach to the genre of gods - demons - planets. The book marks the aspiration to create completely new worlds with Vietnamese imagination, in the spirit of integration while still maintaining its own identity.

“Legend of the Earth God” is published by Waka E-Book Joint Stock Company in collaboration with The Gioi Publishing House, 608 pages thick, revolving around the journey of the character Kea, a teenager carrying the soul of the Fire God Agnis and the mark of a dark ego. On the dangerous planet Noah, Kea enters a life-and-death battle between light and darkness, between fate and his own final choice.

The work is built like a blockbuster movie. The story is fast-paced, intense, and has many cinematic battle scenes, giving the reading experience like watching a movie. The war across space and time between the common natives, the majestic gods, and countless demonic forces combine to create a world that is both majestic and tragic. The characters in the story have depth, especially Kea, the character who carries the fate of the entire planet on her shoulders.

“The Legend of the Earth God” is not just a story of survival on the dark planet Noah, but a tragic epic that raises profound questions about pain, dignity and sacrifice. The work carries a strong message: Power does not come from light or darkness – but from the choices of each person. The choice of goodness and justice is always the happy ending to every war.

Although it is a work of fiction, “Legend of the Earth God” brings to today's readers thoughts close to pain, the desire for goodness, the right to choose and being human in an ever-changing world.

The appearance of “The Legend of the Earth God” shows that young Vietnamese literature is expanding into bolder genres, focusing on imagination, new worlds, supernatural beings and self-constructed mythologies. The novel contributes to diversifying the Vietnamese book market, encouraging young authors to be creative in the fantasy field.
