The Metamorphosis Bracelet is an urban supernatural novel by the web author Little Flying Goose (real name Wu Chaoyang, a native of Daqing, Heilongjiang), serialized on Heiyan Chinese Web from April 12, 2014 and completed on December 26, 2015. The book runs about 1.85 million characters, was also published under the original title Brother! I'm Really a Mutant!, and has appeared on platforms including Zhangyue. The story is set in the 1960s of a parallel space resembling Earth: a violent solar storm sweeps the planet, and over the following years a small portion of the population discovers that their bodies have mutated, granting them special abilities ordinary people lack. The protagonist, Wang Ziqing, was born into wealth as the young master of the Xuelan enterprise. An accident six years earlier killed both his parents, and the case remains baffling and unsolved. As an orphan, he works on construction sites to make a living while hiding his identity as a mutant, posing as a lazy, listless ordinary man fond of pretty women in order to avoid being murdered, and secretly investigating the true cause of his parents' deaths. The "Metamorphosis Bracelet" of the title is a key treasure in the story that can greatly enhance a mutant's abilities; precisely for this reason it draws covetous attention from all sides and becomes the trigger for the massacre of Wang Ziqing's family. Wang Ziqing's own ability is "Summoning." Before wearing the bracelet he can summon only one summoned creature at a time, subject to a time limit (his Nokia phone); after putting on the Metamorphosis Bracelet his summoning slots expand to five, and summoned creatures of wildly varied appearance and eccentric temperament—an alpaca, a fat pigeon, a penguin, a gorilla—appear one after another, becoming the most recognizable comic element of the book. As his investigation deepens, he befriends companions such as Bai Yu and Su Qianyi, is drawn into the schemes of the werewolf organization, the power struggles of foreign forces, and conflicts among mutants, and gradually discovers that behind his parents' deaths lies a far greater game than he imagined. The book depicts urban shadow warfare and blood-pumping fights in a humorous, witty style; while pursuing the truth, the protagonist also grows from a "brick-hauling whirlwind" into a strongman able to maneuver among multiple factions. This work is Little Flying Goose's third full-length novel after Lament of the Six Realms and The Loser Daoist; its world is not connected to those two, so readers need not confuse them.
在2014年前后的黑岩系都市异能作品里，《异变之镯》算是辨识度相当高的一部：它没有把主角写成愤世嫉俗的孤狼，而是让一个背着灭门血案的遗孤顶着“搬砖小旋风”的名号，一边在工地讨生活，一边用嬉皮笑脸把自己藏起来。这种“苦大仇深的内核＋插科打诨的外壳”，正是小飞鹅最擅长的调性。 本书最好玩的部分是“召唤”这个能力设计。主角的召唤物不是什么神兵瑞兽，而是诺基亚手机、羊驼、肥鸽、企鹅、猩猩这些让人啼笑皆非的东西，偏偏每一个都有正经且凶悍的战斗用途——念力控场、隐身潜行、近身秒杀。设定的荒诞与战斗的凌厉形成强烈反差，读起来轻快，打起来过瘾。异变之镯作为全书核心道具，既是主角战力的钥匙，也是灭门案的引线，道具与主线绑得很紧，不是随手塞给主角的金手指。 关于版本，需要提醒的是：这部作品是网络连载，并未见到正式纸质出版物，市面上流传的多为电子版与合集本，章节编号在不同站点之间并不统一（有“节”与“章”两种计法），因此本书目录从略。字数方面，常见标注为185万字左右，完结于2015年底。 如果读者喜欢都市异能、召唤流、轻喜剧与复仇线并行的作品，并且不介意十几年前的网文笔法与节奏，这本值得一读；如果期待精雕细琢的文学性或严密的设定体系，则可能略有落差。
