Whether it was a reader who was interested in history or a reader who had a soft spot for food, they could find their own enjoyment in this book. I recommend it to everyone who likes to read. 4."King of Familiars":"King of Familiars" was a book with a rather old-fashioned theme, but the author had made some innovation in the background and structure, bringing new possibilities to the readers. The book was about familiars, and it talked about the male protagonist's superpower and the antler pendant with healing powers. The story was set in the early stages of the descent of familiars, giving people a novel feeling. The author's writing standard was also guaranteed, and the overall quality was good. The storyline was not just a routine, it brought new surprises to the readers. Although the content was not rich enough at the moment, there should be more exciting content to be presented. The author's new book was also exciting. He hoped that he could continue to be innovative in the direction of familiars and bring more novelty to readers. 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.] [National Forensic]:[Reading] The urban forensic system is a professional article. It's not bad.️ 'I'm not too interested in the famous doctor Ling Ran from Zhiniao Village. I feel that the male protagonist is too handsome, and there's no specific description of his appearance. The female characters in the novel seem to have lost their intelligence when they meet the male protagonist. It always makes people feel like they're out of character.' This male protagonist's outfit feels much more natural, and I like the wonderful metaphor in the whole article. 7:"Heroine, Wait":"Heroine, Wait. Do you know who I am?" "I know. He's the empress's favorite minister, the lover of the rebel leader, and the young master of a famous sect in the pugilistic world.

Yuyang was agitated. He wanted to make Tang lose its splendor. 9."Secret Dead Corner": What else can I say? Get lost, sister! It's already on the shelves. The 24-hour first order score is 40,000. I hope Rollie will persevere and write well. Platinum is in sight. Final Divine Duty: Overall Rating: 82 Setting B+ Plot B+ Character (Writing)A- [Final Divine Title] Ranking index: [Rating: Grain] Author: Tuoba Goudan Platform: Starting Point Word Count: 270,000 [Keyword: Martial Dao Fantasy, Evil God Mecha] Why was he reading a book? It was a supernatural martial arts novel that was a combination of science fiction and fantasy. The advantages of this book were obvious: 1. There were layers to the development of the world view (the first ten chapters were based on the protagonist's needs to introduce the martial arts system, the fifty-fourth chapter "The appearance of the evil cult" expanded the world view, the eighty-fourth chapter "The Transformation Organization" was officially launched, and there was also the hidden line "The archaeological work of the White Mountain era" to maintain suspense throughout); 2. Character creation is naturally not exaggerated (Not only do the characters in the book have real memories, but their images will also change according to the protagonist's cognition. For example, Coach Lin, who has always been regarded as a middle-aged gambler, will discover more stories about him later. 3. The leveling rhythm was smooth and reasonable (Absolute Focus, Imagined Enemy, Eye of Death Omen, and other skills were unlocked layer by layer, the protagonist gradually became stronger, and the progression of the plot was also in line with the development logic); 4. The style was neat and the writing was not bad (he could use a few strokes to write ordinary and friendly family daily life, but he could also use thick ink to describe the cold and harsh action scenes. He could even use environmental descriptions and detailed descriptions to set off the atmosphere). So if you tell me that this was written by an inexperienced author, I definitely won't believe it. Why not read a book: The main plot of the book was hidden in daily life, a bit like a role-playing game with a free exploration mode. The development of the plot depended on the protagonist's own choices. The advantage of doing this was that the plot would flow more smoothly, but the disadvantage was that it would be even more difficult to figure out the direction of the plot. Many times, when you thought that the climax was coming, you would see the author write another two chapters… P.S. There's a female character from chapter 98 who has been changing the data and suppressing the main character, which has disgusted some readers. Those readers with low poison resistance, please be mentally prepared or take a rest before watching. Synoptic: After transmigrating, the protagonist only wanted to earn a scholarship by studying. By chance, he came into contact with martial arts and triggered the profession of a Pugilist. Therefore, the protagonist used his absolute focus to begin the path of cultivation that was not human. Slowly, he encountered one extraordinary event after another. <strong></strong> The book was good, but it was very popular. If you read this book with the anticipation of the "Global Martial Arts" genre, you would most likely be disappointed. This was because the feedback from killing monsters and leveling up in this book was actually not enough, and the characters in the book were also very complicated. However, if you were a book reader or a fan of "disaster documentary" novels like Wall-e's "Heavenly King of the Other Body", then the book would be very compatible with you. It could be said to be food that must be added to the bookshelf.​ (If you have never come into contact with this kind of work, I recommend you to give it a try. The basic quality of this book is still very strong. 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. Er Gen's new book, very exciting, recommended. "This Game Is Too Real": Moving bricks, running errands, picking up trash, delivering packages…The company can at most let you experience the hardships of 996, but here you can experience the super double 007. Alright, let's cut the crap. The great manager has called me to move bricks. That lord said that as long as we work hard and offer our livers, he will be able to get a brand new set of power armor next month. Then, he will bring us to a brand new map and pick up more trash in the vast wasteland! "Red Heart Sky Patrol":"Red Heart Sky Patrol" was a Xianxia novel that made people's eyes light up. The structure of the first volume made people feel like they were watching "Lord of the Mysteries" back then. The portraits were very well drawn, with the chivalrous taste and talent of the otaku pigs. This book had the potential to become another Xianxia classic. I really like the writing style and the characters in this book. The author's foundation was very solid. The characters were vivid and full, and the feelings were sincere and delicate. Even though the name was very serious, it was really fascinating after reading it. The protagonist Jiang Wang and his sister Jiang Anan had experienced a great change. By chance, they embarked on the bumpy road of becoming stronger. The story took place in the ancient times, and the demon race and the dragon race had already disappeared. The era of the Great Divine Dao was already like smoke, and the era of the peak of flying swords had also fallen…What happened in this world? Who would listen to the truth of history? Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are painted with corpses, and hundreds of years of heaven and earth are painted with hungry tigers. The protagonist Jiang Wang had a pure heart and took it as his duty to patrol the sky. The ending of the book made both the author and the readers feel uncomfortable. After looking for the Xianxia literature, I read about 20 chapters and felt that it was very good. Even though the name was very serious, the content was very attractive. [Haha, I was wrong. This book is really good. I strongly recommend it!] P.S. It's too good. I've been reading this book for the past few days. I've almost finished reading the 357,000 novel in ten days. There are still 87 chapters left. I can't bear to read it anymore... In the past week, he had read 3158 minutes and had been reading this book. It could be considered as a record for him. He wanted to remember it. Ring of Destiny: Squid's Four-Star Glory masterpiece. The Mysterious World, Part Two. 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! 15:"Great Ming State Preceptor": 70,000 fine historical articles [Teaching in prison, Zhu Di asked me to be the state preceptor after eavesdropping] After witnessing the end of the Battle of Jingnan, Jiang Xing Huo, 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 an Choosing Day" was an oriental fantasy story that told the story of a young snake-hunter. The story was set in a chaotic land.

Now, a bunch of novels that were created after the rebirth of the third year of high school appeared in the urban genre. Compared to the system genre, the performance of the male protagonist in this novel was more interesting and unrestrained after using the memories and knowledge of the future. After all, it was a little too much to rely on the system to help him enjoy the novel after rebirth.🙅The plot of hooking up with a rich woman was a little unrealistic, but there was no other way.
