The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1. Advent of the Archmage: A story about leveling up and striving to become a good ending, knowing the outcome.
2."Lord of the Oasis":"Lord of the Oasis" is an impressive novel. The author had used his alias to write many famous eunuch books, and this novel was no exception. However, it was gratifying that this time, it was finally finished. This novel was based on the construction of a base, which reminded people of the Red Alert written by a great god. However, it could not be compared to the Red Alert because the Red Alert had too many advantages. There were games, game backgrounds, weapons, equipment, character introductions, and so on. On the other hand, Lord of the Oasis relied mainly on the author's imagination. The author successfully depicted a protagonist who traveled to the world of swords and magic. He became the son of a duke, but his father disliked him and was enfeoffed to a desolate desert. Fortunately, the protagonist had the Riding and Killing System as a cheat, and finally established a base in this world. The highlight of this book was the killing in the era of cold weapons, the riding and hacking system, and the construction of territories. Even though this was a game system novel, the author wrote it in a unique way that made people want to find out more. Overall, Lord of the Oasis is a novel worth recommending. I give it four stars.
3."Laws of the Insect Hive": How to turn into an insignificant and somewhat special bug and turn around under the oppression of a predator?

The author of the bug is back

Lightning Protection, Insect Transformation, Upgrade to the Other World
4."One Blade Splits the Path of Life and Death": The best article of the year, but the author is a broken dog…🐶
5."Seeking Immortality in the Way of Deception, Starting from Refining Yourself into a Puppet": A detailed introduction of this book can be found in the personal column: "I recommend a high-quality article on the cultivation of the Way of Deception."

"Seeking Immortality in the Way of Deceit, Starting from Refining Yourself into a Puppet". The label of the work was: "Immortal Swordsman in the Way of Deceit, Inhuman Main Character, Chaotic Battle."

Evaluation:
A. The setting is complete and creative, and the battle description is quite interesting.
B. In the early stages, the integrity is acceptable, but as new content is added in the later stages, the integrity will decrease.
C. The standard of writing has reached the standard of web novels.
[Book List Overall Rating: T3 (The ultimate battle between Daoists, Devils, Buddhas, Witches, Demons, and Ghosts)]

I. Introduction
He Ping, who had transmigrated to this turbulent world, had obtained a treasure scroll called the "Invisible Secret Manual." The scroll recorded all kinds of strange methods to refine and control puppets.
After obtaining this scroll, he was filled with joy. He thought that he had obtained the path to enter the path of cultivation, but who knew that he would fall into someone else's trap.
In order to survive, He Ping had no other choice. Other than refining himself into a living puppet, there was no other way out…

II. Plot, Character, and Writing Level
In terms of the plot, the author's arrangement was quite tight. In just 300,000 words, the content was already quite substantial. The protagonist experienced large and small events and dungeons one after another. The author did not blindly arrange for large events or dungeons to cause the progress to be too slow. Even the relatively large events or dungeons were controlled to be resolved in less than 20 chapters. The overall plot development rhythm was very smooth. When the author arranged the plot events, he constantly introduced new things to maintain the curiosity of the readers. The content that was added was basically related to each other and logically systematic. It could give people a sense of harmony and self-harmony, avoiding the abrupt feeling of adding temporary factors in some web novels that were obviously for the plot to change.

The characters weren't the highlight of the book. They could only be said to be at the average level of web novels. The way the characters were created was relatively simple and direct, and only the important character, Red Heart, was more three-dimensional.

The author's writing standard was up to standard, so it could be said that he did not deserve it.

Third, special highlights
The author was quite good at setting things up, especially in the construction of the power system. It was a combination of imagination and unpopular knowledge in various fields. The cultivation system of the Dao of Deception and the thirty-six methods of entering the Dao constructed in the book were quite interesting. The orthodox sects were different and had their own characteristics. They involved planting demons, refining ghosts, puppets, sacrifices, demonization, Buddhism, and other aspects. It could be said that both orthodox and unorthodox cultivation were magical and bizarre, which was very consistent with the premise of seeking immortality through deception. The setting of the Thirty-Six Steps to the Dao showed that the author had a complete plan for the power settings. It was just like how the Lord of the Mysteries had set the main tone of the twenty-two Beyonder pathways and the Level-9 Sequence structure at the beginning. Such a consistent style and perfect system was naturally far better than the haphazard mode where new ideas or bugs were simply stuffed or patched.

IV. Problems
(1) The content was not enough, and in the middle and late stages, there were often abrupt interludes in the plot;
(2) The details were not perfect, and many of the contents were explained repeatedly;
3. The main storyline wasn't clear enough, and the content was mainly supported by a large number of battles.
6."The Blood of Mercury": Although it's not very famous, when I opened the book and started reading, I couldn't forget this book. The plot in the beginning really attracted me. Maybe it's because the main character is described too beautifully, or maybe it's because the main character cross-dressing is too novel, or maybe it's because the main character's mental illness, dark, cold, and fragile personality attracted me. In short, I couldn't forget it after reading it. If you like the dark type, you can go and take a look. O(Empyrean_Empyrean)O
7."From the Demonic Cultivation Begins": Half-darkness... The idea was novel, and the main character pursued the Dao wholeheartedly. He was not bothered by emotions or trifles. grain and grass
8."Legend of the Wizard":"Legend of the Wizard" is a fantasy novel that allows people to travel to the wizard world. The protagonist of the story brought a smart chip and gradually grew into a legend in this mysterious world. This book was set in the Sorcerers World and told a story full of endless glory and glory. The protagonist, the Goddess of the Netherworld River, the Abyssal Demon God, the Ancestor of Sorcerers, and other characters began a series of exciting adventures. The book was full of mystery and irredeemable sins, making people feel endless glory and mystery. This book not only allowed readers to experience the fantasy of the wizarding world, but also inspired people to think. I recommend everyone to read "The Wizard's Legendary Journey" to experience the charm of the wizard world and the excitement of the legendary journey.
9."Gokudo Demon Ghost": Not a bad book. The ones with poison points are okay. They seem to be a little dark. Haha, I've put them on the bookshelf for a long time and almost forgot the contents.
Demons and monsters, the golden finger was the ability of the game's boss in his previous life.
"The Joy of the Dragon Rider"
11:"Warlock Apprentice": I really like the character of the main character. The main character is not a transmigrator, but a native of the Sorcerer World. He is fighting to resurrect a transmigrator. If he continues to do this without regressing, he can be considered a masterpiece.
Big Data World: This is a book I read a long time ago. The author has a lot of ideas. Even now, I think it's not bad!
"Shinto Traversing the Other World": Shinto novel, suitable for readers who like Chinese mythology and cool literature.
Game Descends to the Otherworld: Game Descends to the Otherworld is a highly recommended book. The author of the novel, Young Firmament, used a game system as a cheat, bringing the protagonist to a desperate continent. In the story, the protagonist put down the game map and began to become stronger in this foreign world. I really like the setting in the book. It's hard to put down this book. Another book by the same author, Elemental Tower, was also highly recommended. There was also a book called Online Game Rebirth: Super Hunter, which should not be missed. I strongly recommend this book. I believe that readers will be attracted by the story.
"Summon Me":"Summon Me" is a fascinating novel. The protagonist's actions are described very well, giving the readers a strong sense of immersion. The story setting was also very logical, allowing the readers to be completely immersed in it. In addition, there were humorous elements in the novel from time to time, adding a relaxed and happy atmosphere to the whole story. Overall, this book is a fascinating work, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Due to an accident, Lin Ming brought a magical intelligent core to a world dominated by wizards and became the number one lackey of the Earl of the Tulip Family's legitimate son. He was just that strong, just that unreasonable, that was all ~

The strange tree, the strange world, the endless danger, survival or destruction. This question was too difficult. Should he struggle to survive or go with the flow and fend for himself? What should he do…
A world in a grain of sand, a kingdom in a flower. Walking on the path of the heavens, an instant was eternity.
The author used a novel perspective to interpret a perfect world. This was a world full of adventure and nonsense, although there were many things that he did not agree with.
Fortunately, the style of writing suddenly changed in the beginning and the end. He slept with women one after another. The protagonist suddenly became a stallion. It was really a little unbearable.
"Rise of the Dark Sorcerers": As a qualified Dark Sorcerer, it is necessary to be cold-blooded, emotionless, rational, calm, and scheming. The following is the introduction:

"Why did you call me a demon?" "Why are you holding high the banner of justice to crusade against me?" "I'm just a dark sorcerer who thirsts for power, seeks longevity, and seeks the truth. I'm just a dark sorcerer who has a bottom line." Noah was filled with confusion as he looked at the experimental consumables that had automatically delivered themselves to his door.

He found a "new book." Coincidentally, he had recently read Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It was very interesting.
In fact, he had come across a book with a similar style before. It was just that the book was bound by the simple sea monsters and witchcraft system of the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the storyline was nothing special. This book was very different. It only had a bit of the style of the Pirates of the Caribbean world. It combined the wizard-style theme and had its own extension. The world view was bigger.
Fantasy Journey to the Heavens: A New Book by the Author of the Kingdom of Faith
The golden finger could travel through the heavens. The main world was a wizard world, and he was temporarily a knight.
Lord of the Stars was a very special book. The world that the author had set was grand and full of imagination. The first few parts of the world of reincarnation were mostly martial arts novels. This unique setting made people's eyes light up. Although the author's writing was not very good, it did not affect the overall reading experience. The plot was ingenious and the layout was grand. Every small dungeon had its own unique charm. The author's writing was amazing. The story was complete and the plot was compact. Although the author later went to write the official novel "Painting of the Bad People of Jianghu," his corpse would occasionally come back to life to surprise the readers. Overall, this was a very interesting book and worth reading.
