With the support of Ji Cha's powerful pen, this confusing future was particularly attractive. I have to say, Ji Cha's book really caught my eye. 2."Spirit Realm Traveler":[144] Selling newspaper, Little Langjun,"Spirit Realm Traveler" [Total ranking of Hundred Alliances: 144] 2022 Hundred Alliances Ranking: 2 [Hundred League Badge Release Time: 2022-4-9] Title: Spirit Realm Walker Author: Paper Selling Young Langjun [Author Level: Platinum] [Alliance Leader Count: 372] [Silver Grand Alliance: 14] Golden Sect Master: 7 Fans/10,000: 830 <Category: Sci-fi Evolution> Total Words/Ten Thousand: 224 Date of publication: March 23, 2022 [Hundred League Time/Day: 16] Last updated: May 1, 2022 First order: 81,780 Average: Not counted [Completed: No] End date: × Writing time/day: × Date: January 18, 2023 3:"The Tang's Table": A book by the great historical Platinum God Jie Yu 2, a story of the Tang Dynasty.

Strongly recommended. 4."King of Familiars": Qing Quan's new book: In this brand new era of familiars, who can become the well-deserved King of Familiars? 5: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: [recommended words]: Reincarnated into a game novel in a different way, similar to a book novel, the kind where you dress up as a villain and kill the protagonist. The author's strength was on the line, and the plot was very attractive to the readers. He did not deliberately suppress the main character's realm. The reader's perception was coherent, and the plot was interesting. He could only say that he was not a novice writer. [Rating]: 4 [Goldfinger: Understand the plot, easy to obtain treasures] [Plot Introduction: Dressed as a villain, with the help of his father, brother, and fairy, he eliminated the protagonist without any danger, and the article officially kicked off.] 6. National Forensic Medicine: Dragon Fairy Grass🌸 [It's worth a look][Recently promoted] The writing style of Zhiniao Village was very outstanding, with strong professional knowledge and very exciting and mature content. The plot did not drag on, and he felt that this book could become a new stage in his creation. The characters were full of charm. The main character only needed to dissect the "corpse" to gain experience and randomly obtain the "ability" of the corpse when it was alive. The protagonist used his golden finger ability and his own professional ability. Through fingerprint comparison, trace detection, footprint detection, blood stain detection, image enhancement, field investigation, forensic anatomy, and other criminal investigation abilities, they continuously solved the accumulated cases and homicide cases in the criminal police team. He also experienced the lives of the victims through dissecting the corpses. Life was heavy, life was light, and life was precious.

However, there would always be people who would walk forward resolutely in order to uphold justice. This was a rare book that he wanted to read all night.

You're the one I'm going to cut!" 8."Mantang Colorful Scenery": Rating: AAAAA The prosperous Chang 'an City was full of undercurrents. Under the rule of the court, people were arrogant and extravagant, and they fought for power endlessly. The country was in turmoil, the Hu people rebelled, and human lives were like grass. This was the best moment for the Great Tang, and also the worst moment… 9."Hidden Dead Corner": Although there was an event support factor, an initial order of 40,000 yuan was really too much. The rhythm was slow, and the protagonist could absorb different flowers to get different enhancements. The protagonist's IQ was online, but it did not drop. It's a strange style of mech writing. I think it's very good! Author: Get Lost Tagged: sci-fi futuristic world Receiving ratio: 3.9 [First order: 40041 (available on May 16, 2023)] Have you heard of it?

That space…On the surface, it looked like the places we usually see, such as our bedroom, the living room, the underground garage, the bathroom, the basketball court, the construction site, etc. However, if you looked carefully, you would realize that it was different…Everything was different. 10: Final Divine Duty: Awesome Writing, Good Rhythm It's been a good journey, and I've learned the true teachings of get lost Not inferior to a Gokudo Devil 11."Beyond Time": Heaven and Earth are the guest houses of all living beings, and time is 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? "This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" is a fascinating novel. The author's prediction ability was admirable. The plot was compact and the setting was unique. The book described the situation of the doomsday infrastructure, making people feel as if they were on the wasteland, feeling the scene of players working hard to survive in a difficult environment. Although the female character was not very likable, it did not affect the overall story's excitement. Through the various operations of the idiotic players, the author showed the magnificent scene of them building a technology tree from scratch on the wasteland and changing the situation of the apocalypse. This book was set in a game, but it was not limited to the game itself. Instead, it integrated the game elements into real life, giving people inspiration and thinking. In short, This Game Is Too Real was a good book worth recommending. 13:"Red Heart Sky Patrol": A new god ascended the throne. This book will definitely become a god! Excellent! I strongly recommend you to enter the pit. Take your time and read the third volume patiently. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ----------------- 2021.2.20 The first evaluation, the second. It's a good book recommended after reading the second chapter. The name is a little old-fashioned. ----------------- 2021.3.19 The second evaluation, a. After reading the first volume, he strongly recommended it again. It was an absolute immortal herb. His writing style was first-class, and his ability to create characters was at the peak. He could clearly remember the names and personalities of almost every character who appeared. The disadvantages were that part of the plot was a little old-fashioned, the protagonist's presence was weak, and the character's rate of death was a little high… ----------------- 2021.3.26 Three comments, first up. After reading the third volume, all the flaws in the early stages were swept away. He could be sure that as long as the ending was not bad and there was no eunuch, it would definitely be a divine work. ----------------- 2021.4.15 Four comments, first class. He had caught up with the latest progress, the Yellow River Meeting Plot. Let's not talk about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. First, although the background was grand, it lacked novelty and the plot was a little old-fashioned. Fortunately, the author's writing was strong enough to write the old-fashioned plot. Second, compared to the many supporting characters with distinct personalities, the protagonist's creation was not outstanding enough. He was clearly a peerless genius. However, it didn't always make people feel that it was brilliant. It could also be because the supporting characters were too successful and took away too much of the excitement. Thirdly, the plot development was slow. There were countless holes buried and new plots kept being created. He only hoped that the author had enough professional ethics and didn't let the ending be a mess or a eunuch. He would fill in all the holes dug in the beginning. In short, it was an excellent book. Moreover, it had a large amount of content. It was recommended to enter the pit. ------------------ 2021.5.4 Five comments, no A true divine work would be considered a god-level work, and the first evaluation would be above armor. The author's pen strength was too strong, and it had the style of ancient times. Writing a web novel was a blow to his reputation. As long as it didn't end badly, there was no reason for it not to become a masterpiece. ------------------ 2021.12.29 Recently, the quality of the novel had declined. The author wanted to express too many things and was overly concerned about the readers 'opinions of the characters. It seemed like they had reached a bottleneck in the transition from traditional novel authors to web novel authors. Let's watch for a while. 14."Ring of Destiny": Tremble, mortals. Your King of Online Literature will finally ascend to his throne. Cheer for the King's return and praise his return, Amon. <<The Great Ming State Preceptor>> Have you ever seen a transmigrator who used modern theories to change the world? The author of 'The Great Ming State Preceptor' is really amazing. There was no fighting or killing in this book. There was no trickery or trickery. What was there was only a weapon of thought that shocked the world and readers. It was hard to imagine that the political and economic content that could not be learned in school, even the philosophical content, could be turned into words like a stream of spring water by the author's pen, silently nourishing things. There was no Jiang Xing Huo who was afraid of death in this world. There was only Teacher Jiang who sacrificed himself for the truth. Perhaps this was the Ming Dynasty's version of "The Age of Awakening." "Ascending on an Ascending Day":"Ascending on an Ascending Day" was a high-quality book that made people unable to extricate themselves from it. The main character of the story was an honest snake hunter. After he caught a demon snake, he began a magical adventure. In this chaotic world, not only did he have to face endless wild gods, but he also had to face a corrupt society. The author's writing was smooth, and the plot was exciting and fascinating. At the same time, the story also incorporated deep thoughts about society and history, making people gain a lot after reading it. Five stars recommended! 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?" I haven't seen such a fresh and refined urban rebirth posturing article in a long time. 18:"Deep Sea Ember": * Save Stream: recommended, the plot and setting are very good * [Keyword: Invincible Style, Anomaly, Transmigration] Plot: <Character Setting: Darling (The transition from an otaku to a ghost captain is smooth and reasonable)> Worldview Completeness: [Character Setting: [Traverser][Specter Ship Captain][Comedian][Has a flexible moral bottom line][Complicated background][Extremely strong][Good adaptability] [World Setting: Abnormality, vision][True God, Evil God] [Short comment: The plot is more of a day-to-day story, and the changes in the characters 'personalities are not abrupt. If you want to see the world setting, you can look for the comments at the end of each chapter to analyze it.] The character was probably a law-abiding young man in modern society. He treated good people with kindness and never showed mercy to evil cultists. The author's level and quality were very high. It was very difficult for a plot to give away a daughter or a harem plot to appear. There was a high chance that it was a plot to raise a daughter. <<Strengths>>[The intelligence reduction segment doesn't exist]>[The daily life is interwoven with intense plots]>[The atmosphere on the ship is relaxed and interesting]>[Similar to the invincible style but the plot battle strength is not broken]> Some people might not like the fact that he was a true law-abiding young man. He would never kill the innocent, steal, or rob. The overall world setting was biased towards the Cthulhu system. 2022/9/14 19."Gou in the Demonic Martial World to Cultivate Immortals": A new book of plagiarism. Heart Following Immortal Cultivation + Double Penetration. The main character traveled through the cultivation world and became a low-level spirit farmer. However, with the golden finger, he could pass through the martial arts world with the power of demons. He would use his spiritual farming techniques and the resources of the cultivation world to go to the martial arts world to cultivate martial arts, and then feed them back to immortal cultivation. He was currently at the top of the martial arts world, and the cultivation world was about to break through to the foundation establishment stage. Why I'm reading this book: Actually, at the beginning, I really thought that this book was the worst of the plagiarist's recent books. I can't say that it's very toxic, but I can't find anything to read. It's quite useless. I was even prepared to give up on it after entering V. However, as the protagonist gained a certain amount of power after the novel was published, the popularity of the novel immediately returned to the normal level of plagiarism. Moreover, this book was a revision of the traditional mortal flow that strengthened the elements of obedience. As an old mortal flow reader, it was still quite satisfactory. He was still reading it. Why not read this book? In addition, the characteristic of plagiarists was that the protagonist was ruthless and ruthless, and only wanted to improve himself. Those who did not like this probably felt that the protagonist was not human. Moreover, many times, the flow of the heart would make the plot unhappy. In general, the rations would be evaluated according to the situation. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a cultivation novel, but it was different. The author used a unique humorous style to make this immortal cultivation novel a clear stream in the immortal cultivation genre. Unlike other immortal cultivation novels, the protagonist Lu Yang did not enter the immortal sect with his strength, but with his intelligence and IQ of 120+. This book was full of light-hearted and funny plots that made people laugh uncontrollably. At the same time, it also showed the author's unique imagination. Once the readers started reading, they would be attracted and unable to stop. In addition, the book also included interviews with reporters and debates about the culture of the cultivation world, which made people more curious and expectant about the development of the story. In short,"Who told him to cultivate!" It was an addictive cultivation novel. The readers must not be attracted by its charm, so as not to affect the cohesiveness of the reading. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
Another short story might be 'Tell Them Not to Kill Me!' by Juan Rulfo as well. It shows the desperation and the complex relationships within a Mexican family during a time of violence and conflict, with a strong focus on the characters' emotions and the cultural backdrop.
Sure. 'The Witcher' short stories have some similarities. They are set in a richly detailed fantasy world with magic, monsters and complex characters. Another one is the 'Elder Scrolls' related short stories which also feature a vast, magical world filled with different races and quests. And 'Dragon Age' short stories are also great. They have a similar feel of high - fantasy, with political intrigue, magic - using characters and epic battles.
