Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a novel that makes one's eyes light up. The author, Ji Cha, cleverly integrated the harem plot into the book, but it did not affect the overall development of the story. In Zhao Changhe's comments, he mentioned that although this book was covered in a fantasy shell, it was actually a martial arts novel. The biggest highlight of this book was its writing style. At every climax, the author would use a mixture of classical and vernacular expressions, which not only enhanced the momentum, but also added to the beauty of the sentences. In addition, the author also used various environmental descriptions to give people a strong literary taste. Although the taste was a little strange, it still looked very good. At the same time, the author also used a combination of virtual and real performance techniques to make the whole story level up. The entire novel was light and funny, the writing was beautiful, and the plot was colorful and fascinating. The author's grand structure was admirable. I hope the author can get better and better! 2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world. Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties. "From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit." "Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by." 3.<<The Tang's Table>> The people of the world and the affairs of the world are just the dishes on the table of the Tang people. Although the original ingredients had the original flavor of food, Yun Chu still believed that the most delicious food still needed to be divided, cooked, and handled. The food that was finally served on the table was the food that most suited the stomach of the Tang people. Steaming, braising, stir-frying, stewing... There were many cooking methods in the kitchen. Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele…or even whales, tigers, sharks, and hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could cook them all into peerless delicacies… In addition to Li Zhi, Wu Wei, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and other peerless seasonings, there would always be one thing that you would never forget, regardless of color, fragrance, or taste. Yun Chu hoped that she would definitely have a seat at such a luxurious banquet! Now, the delicious food had been cooked. Yun Chu laid out the napkin, picked up the deer knife, and closed her eyes. She was ready to enjoy an unprecedented feast to satisfy her hungry stomach. 4."King of the Familiar": I really like this type of book. It gives people a feeling that their eyes are shining. There are no traces of routines. The style of writing is relaxed and not oppressive. I feel pretty good at the moment. 5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation" S- The name of the book attracted Xiaobai, but for Lao Bai, the name was enough to dissuade him. Therefore, he sank it into his collection. Today, Book Desolate found out that it was a divine work that was delayed by its name. The minus sign was only because of the title. National Forensics: Good! Don't be scared by the forensic doctor! The part about cooking bones is really disgusting and novel, I still want to continue watching (;▽;) 7."Wait, Heroine": Twelve Heavenly Kings of 2022 [Author: Guan Guan (Level 5)] Tagged: Fantasy, Oriental Fantasy connecting to [Alliance Leader Count:57] First Order:20033 8:"Colorful Tang Dynasty": This novel is the author's new book. The previous novel had just ended, and this novel began. The setting of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the existence of suspense elements, has aroused the interest of many readers. Moreover, the historical facts in this book have aroused the interest of many readers. From this, it can be seen that the author's description in this aspect is extremely outstanding. It will definitely be a novel that will explode. 9."Hidden Dead Corner": Popularity Top: Hidden Dead Corner Next time Top/1000 Likes. This was the new masterpiece of the great god of the Strange Zone,"Get Lost." It had the same taste and style as before, and it had even gone one step further by adding the armor element that Director Rollie loved the most. The author of this book chose a strange element that was similar to the current hot topic. The protagonist would inexplicably appear in an infinite space. For example, the protagonist would appear in a parking lot. No matter where he ran to, he would still be in the parking lot. Only by finding a special escape point could he escape. At the same time, there were monsters chasing after him in this space. The protagonist's golden finger was very interesting because his major was about plants, so the golden finger was related to plants. He could absorb the flowers to synthesize the Flower Vine Armor (similar to the armor of the Masked Knight). He would also obtain special abilities related to flowers, such as hypnosis. With Rollie's excellent writing standards, coupled with such a novel and strange setting and power system setting, it was reasonable to say that the opening would be very smooth and interesting to read on. However, Rollie was like this. He would occasionally add a few small poison points in the early stages, giving the readers a headache. However, ignoring these blue spots, the overall feeling was still quite good. In general, the book's worldview structure was very complete, and the setting of the inner world was also rendered bit by bit. As for the character creation, it was quite likable, except for a few poisonous "rolling characters." Of course, the most interesting part was the armor design that was similar to the Masked Knight. It was very unique. 10.<<Final Divine Duty>>: In a world similar to the modern world, one starts from learning martial arts in a martial arts dojo and steps step by step into becoming extraordinary. 11."Beyond Time" Author: Er Gen (Platinum) Tagged: Xianxia Mythology Cultivation connecting to Total Words:239.50w True number of fans: 57.97 million Total Collection:291.69w Total recommendation:250.21w [Alliance Leader Count:259+] First order:53527 Heaven and earth were the guest houses of all living beings, and time was a passer-by from ancient times to the present. The difference between life and death was like the difference between dreams and waking up. It was ever-changing and could not be questioned. Then, beyond life and death, beyond heaven and earth, beyond time, what awaits us? 12:"This game is too real":-Full of likes! -Next time at the top [520 Likes]! "This Game Is Too Real" was a new book by the great author Chen Xing LL. Chen Xing LL had written "A Brainiac's Black Technology System" and "I Have a Suite in the Apocalypse". His style was humorous and he was good at writing works on a variety of topics. This book was a light novel, Chen Xing's new attempt, but it was written very well. The protagonist transmigrated to the wasteland world. In order to survive and improve his power, he gave VR helmets to the people on Earth and let them work for him as players. Based on the basic settings, the book combined the four elements of wasteland, gaming, farming, and group wear (although not really group wear). Moreover, the combination of these elements did not seem out of place. Instead, they complemented each other and made the novel more rich. At the same time, the novel also had many elements that readers liked to see. For example, the players in reality had Group chats. The players chatting would increase the interest of the novel and create a sense of life. For example, in the wasteland, the players could fight monsters to level up. This also gave them a feeling of nurturing. Moreover, the main character's location in the wasteland world had the feeling of a game like Fallout Shelter and Fallout 4… All in all, this was a very good novel. The characters in the novel were not rigid, and the setting of the two worlds in the novel was very interesting. The details in the novel were also handled well. I recommend it to everyone. 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol":-Full of likes! -Next time at the top [320 Likes]! This was a wonderful Xianxia novel written by the author, Why Do You Feel So Strong? This book already had more than three million words. It was very high-quality and could be read without worry. Unlike the sage-like appearance of many Xianxia, the image of the immortals here was more realistic. They did not need to care about the people. They were high and mighty, looking at everything in the world like ants. At the beginning of the novel, the author wrote the image of an expert who was being hunted down. He was being hunted down, but he didn't care about his life. Instead, he said,"This Taoist temple doesn't even have a name. Is it worthy of burying me, Zuo Guanglie?" In between these words, the character's personality and the scene's image came out. It was enough to show the author's high level of writing. The author's description of the battle was even more wonderful. This expert who had single-handedly killed his way through Hangu Pass erupted with the power of Zhurong before his death, causing the eighteen people in the formation to retreat in shock. When the readers thought that he was going to fight back, or at least die together with his pursuers, they were shocked. A sword came from the distance. Before the power of Zhurong could be used, the expert's head fell to the ground. When readers read this paragraph, they couldn't help but imagine it in their minds. At the same time, they were curious about this immortal cultivation world. The realm of being better than others was also highlighted. Finally, let's talk about the main character. The main character was a child beggar (non-transmigrated) lying in a Taoist temple. At the beginning, he looted the corpse and found a treasure that could be considered a system. Later on, he became stronger step by step and walked to the peak... In short, this was a very good Xianxia novel. Whether it was logic, style, worldview, or plot, it was all online. I highly recommend it. Ring of Fate: The Secret World Part 2 In the year 1368, at the end of July, Crimson would descend from the sky. His heart was surging, his imagination was infinite, and he waved his hand against the wind. The young man was undefeated and hot-blooded! "The Great Ming State Preceptor":"The Great Ming State Preceptor" was a novel that traveled through history. The main character had a huge plot and his goal was to seek the welfare of the world. This book was different from other historical novels that were known on the market. The protagonist had experienced the various states of the ancient grassroots and was very empathetic to the people. The author taught the emperor knowledge about sociology, economics, and the history of civilization development through small classrooms. It was shocking. The image of the protagonist was also very good. It was easy for the readers to feel a sense of immersion and get a sense of satisfaction from the emotions of the character. The author had deep attainments in character creation and emotional substitution. His writing was also very smooth and addictive. Although there were some shortcomings, such as the plot being brainless and the world being smaller, it did not affect the overall reading experience. In short, this was a standard brainless and refreshing book. It was highly readable, and it was slightly plain. It had a certain level of knowledge, and it was quite interesting to read it as an ancient small classroom. 16:"Ascending on the Right Day": A new work by the Great God. Reading it now. It's very good. 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth": 9.2. It had been a long time since he had seen such a natural rebirth novel. The female lead was not bad either. He was liking the female lead more and more! From less than 20,000 to 500,000. The update was too weak! "However, this book is so popular, but why is its achievement so low? I thought that I would be able to break through one star very quickly. I didn't expect that it wouldn't even reach half of the achievement. It broke! Who Knows How to Drive a Boat? After sailing for so long, you're telling me I don't know how to sail? Was this a ghost ship? Anyway, the suspense is there. It's quite good to read. I recommend it. 19:"Cultivate in the Demonic Martial World": Wen Chao's new book. It's very fat and can be slaughtered. It's just a little wet. It's still worth reading. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a Xianxia novel. It told the story of the main character Lu Yang and his fellow Daoists 'journey to immortality in a relaxed and funny style. The plot of this book was compact and the rhythm was fast, giving people a relaxed and pleasant reading experience. The author had built a harmonious society in the book, and the Immortal Cultivators had to abide by the law, which showed the author's pursuit of social fairness and justice. The protagonist of the story, Lu Yang, and his friends explored the cultivation world and uncovered a series of mysteries, making people look forward to their adventures. In addition, there were some interesting plots in the book that made the readers laugh and enjoy themselves. In short,"Who told him to cultivate!"
