Even though the later stages of the game inevitably moved toward the middle and high martial arts path due to the background setting and plot development, the first and middle stages were still dominated by Jianghu and Wuxia styles. On the whole, the book brought joy and pleasure to the readers, and occasionally (often) brought some happy elements to the readers. The protagonist was controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes and led to a martial arts world with broken pieces of the secret realm. He rode a horse in the martial arts world and rebuilt the country. For the sake of some female confidantes, he also discovered the secrets of the past.

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>: It's about forensic medicine.

The author used a modern and fantasy background to create a world full of imagination. The story was compact and the writing was smooth, making people unable to stop. The main character was decisive and didn't act like a saint, leaving a deep impression on everyone. Although the missing persons plot in the story was a little toxic, overall, the book was very exciting and made people unable to stop. The only regret was that there were not many chapters, which made him feel like he had not finished. However, this book was indeed a work worthy of recommendation. It brought many surprises and fun to the readers. 11."Beyond Time": A bit of a strange cultivation method, with more pollution settings compared to traditional cultivation methods. Big Ear's writing style was excellent. The characters in the environment were portrayed very well. There were also some breakthroughs in the plot. It did not take the usual path and there were many twists and turns. "This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" is a delightful novel. It uses a light-hearted and humorous writing style to describe the story of the reconstruction of a foreign world's wasteland. As a salesman, the male protagonist was accidentally brought to a different world and began his adventure in the wasteland. The beginning of the story was exciting. The male protagonist missed the opportunity to get a cheat while escaping from the dog's pursuit, which made him seem more real and fleshly. The story introduced the setting of a holographic virtual reality game. The male protagonist became the game's planner, and he could summon players to work for him. This setting was very novel and interesting, and the author cleverly drew the game's content from the players. Every time the male protagonist could see the players '"spoiler" on the forum, he would directly use this content as the game's update content, which was very interesting. The male lead's persona gradually became more complete. He used all kinds of methods to take advantage of others. He always said that it was a win-win situation, but in fact, he was winning more benefits for himself. This black-hearted image made people laugh. The players in the book were also very cute, such as Feiqiu Quit Smoking and Improud What Can You Do About Me, all of them were full of idiotic tricks that made people laugh. These cute players made the story even more interesting. "This Game Is Too Real" was a very special novel. The author's imagination was unrestrained, and the plot was novel and attractive. It made people feel very immersive. The story was about the reconstruction of the wasteland. The male protagonist summoned players from the other world to rebuild the civilization together. This kind of old-fashioned setting was created by the author with unique pen strength and rich characters, showing a different story. The author's writing level was getting higher and higher. This book was not to be missed. In addition, the author's writing style was also fulfilling and satisfying. Overall,"This Game Is Too Real" was an enjoyable novel. It used a humorous and light-hearted style to describe a story full of whimsical ideas, making people immersed in it. The characters in the story were full, and the players 'idiotic tricks were hard to guess. The author's imagination was unrestrained, and the plot was novel and attractive. The sense of immersion was very strong, making it difficult for people to extricate themselves. This book was above the standard of a masterpiece and was worth reading. Red Heart Sky Patrol: Immortal Grass The author used to write physical novels, so his writing style was quite good. It could be considered T1 in online novels. The plot progressed steadily, and the author had good control of the rhythm. There should not be anything like the rhythm collapsing. The setting was very complete, and the author's method of spreading the setting was not bad. It did not affect the performance of the plot, and it did not feel like a manual or a set of settings. The character creation was very outstanding. It was not that the main character was the only one standing out. It was more like a group drama. The stars were shining, but there were too many supporting characters, so the main character was not as outstanding. The entertainment points were not very dense. It should be said that it was not very suitable for online novels. Otherwise, the results of this book would not be so bad. It was a niche in a popular category like fantasy. The style was very realistic and published, but it did not affect the quality of the work. There were too many bento boxes in the first volume, and the characters that had spent a lot of ink were all written off in one go. It was unusually emotional and shocking, comparable to the first volume of a best friend. "Ring of Fate":"Ring of Fate" was an old white book with a strong style of writing and story. The author skillfully combined the web novel routine with the ancient style writing style, making people unable to stop. The plot of this book was so compact that it made people want to continue reading. The author's idea was very ingenious, making people wonder what would happen next.

After witnessing the end of the Battle of Jingnan, Jiang Xinghuo, who was the target of the Ten Clans Execution, finally heaved a sigh of relief. As a veteran transmigrator, he could return to the modern world for eternal life after transmigrating for nine lifetimes. Jiang Xinghuo, who felt that he was about to succeed, was so bored that he began to teach in prison, but it seemed that something was wrong... Ma Sanbao: What is the Great Voyage Era in On Sea Power? [Yao Guangxiao: On the Fate of a Nation is actually the legendary dragon-slaying technique!] Zhu Gaochi: I haven't finished talking about the silver standard in the History of Chinese Money. Jiang Xing Huo: "I'm going to be beheaded tomorrow. I'll tell you the rest of the lesson in your dreams." At this moment, the walls of the Imperial Jail collapsed and a voice sounded. "Mr. Jiang, I am Zhu Di. Please be the state preceptor!" "Ascending on the Right Day": Immortal Grass Sprout Otaku Pig's new book had a good response. The platinum author's character was guaranteed. Just put on the shelf, can be raised, can catch up with the change. His style was humorous and his worldview was solid. 17:"Who's in a relationship after being reborn?" It could be said that they had been the leaders of the sweet literature world for the past two months. Feng Daidai and Jiang Liuliu had figured out the relationship between good friends. They had reached the extreme temptation of warmth! Classic quote: Feng Dazed: Jiang Qin, run! Jiang Qin: 6… Deep Sea Ember: New Book by Distant Pupil. It was similar to the Lightless Sea's counter setting. The world was once basically destroyed, and everything was covered by the ocean. Only a few continents survived, and under the deep sea, there was an indescribable existence. The Old Ones had also perished, and the survivors sacrificed themselves to create an artificial sun to continue protecting the world. When the protagonist woke up, he found that he was left with only one room. When he walked out of the room, he possessed the captain of the ghost ship in another world. Of course, as the plot developed, it seemed that everything was not so simple. At the same time, the protagonist could randomly possess humans in the mainland city through consciousness projection. Currently, he was possessing one of the members of a cult whose goal was to restore the past. [Why I'm Reading This Book: Big Eyeballs isn't a new author, and everyone knows his unique characteristics.] His worldview is quite well-shaped. The grandeur and style of history and the universe can be brought into it. If there are a few web novels that can be considered science fiction, I think he should be able to do it. So if he really wants to write a proper novel, I think it's definitely not a problem. The character creation was also very good. Of course, there were quite a few people who did not agree with the anime style. Why not read this book: Big Eyeballs was also famous for his novel characters that were close to anime characters. His personality was off the charts, and he liked to make jokes. At the same time, there were all kinds of jokes in the novel. This led to those who liked it to like it very much, while those who didn't like it couldn't accept it. If it was the latter, it could only be said that everyone had their own preferences. In general, the grain would be evaluated according to the situation. 19."Gou in the Demonic Martial World's Chaotic World to Cultivate Immortal": A literary copy of a product that must be of high quality. The first official theme of the founder of Gou Dao to Cultivate Immortal, Zhu Tian Liu, Fattening Up. "Who told him to cultivate!" Once this guy became an immortal, he directly led the atmosphere of the cultivation world astray. I know you have the protagonist halo, but isn't this halo a little too strong? Lu Yangjian's character was not bad. He was a little funny, but his IQ was definitely on the line. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

Many years later, Li Wei looked at the pennants that read "Saving the dying and healing the wounded" and "Rejuvenating the Spring" and smiled in relief. "You're too polite. It's my blessing that you're healthy!" 7."Setting the World": It has some taste of "Let's Try the World" and "Feng Qiuhuang". The writing style is okay, but the female lead is a little weak and can't hold her breath. She is completely dominated by the male lead. The male lead is outstanding. He is calm and doesn't show his strength. He is indifferent, calm, and natural. He is deep, wise, and resourceful. He has a strong heart. "Don't get involved in the seven emotions and six desires.""Mister doesn't get close to women." However, there was a princess who kept pestering the male protagonist. She was quite annoying, and the male protagonist had no interest in her. The male supporting roles were all quite scumbags. Prince Rui was a stallion, so disgusting, even though he had always been putting on an act, just to conceal his abilities. There was another woman on Biexi. Young Master is a wild stallion. Qingjue was originally quite good, but after he was drunk, the female supporting character took off his clothes to draw. The female supporting character saw him naked and misunderstood him! F * ck, Ley is dead! He was not bad, but it was too unfair to arrange such a melodramatic plot to eliminate him. The supporting actress was the male lead's junior sister, and the two of them were quite close. I don't like that supporting actress! She was the one who was unbridled and caused a rift between the female lead and Qingjue! The author did not handle this part well. The female lead and Qingjue were clearly in love, but suddenly the male lead was poisoned by the female lead and the female lead had been interested in the male lead since she was young. How abrupt! Then, she and Qingjue got into a feud because of such melodrama. I thought the previous plot was well written, but this is really disappointing. It's a little unreasonable and stiff. 8."VR game dungeon starts from beating up the invading dog." What? Am I the only one who can see the light blue jellyfish in the game?
