Book of Troubled Times: Rating: 9/10* Plot: Many female leads As always, Ji Cha's book looked at the interaction between the female characters...

The author's update speed was also very fast, making people feel at ease reading. I recommend this book to readers who like beast taming. This book is definitely worth reading. 5: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Ji Cha's recommendation The Great Yan Empire had existed for more than 1,300 years. The emperor was critically ill, the crown prince supervised the country, the local immortal sects occupied, and the central power disturbed the court.

Also, The woman in black beside the bonfire with a veil over her face. He became the third son of the final BOSS, the direct descendant of the villain with a clean background and a good reputation.

Even though the early stage of Great Liang's development was pushed out to become a Martial Immortal, the author's updates could reach ten thousand words per day, showing the author's diligence and hard work. In the story, Fang Xi transmigrated to another world and displayed her spirit of striking with a heavy fist.

Author: What's Wrong? Deep Sea Ember, Author: Yuantong Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts, Author: Wenplagiarism 20:"Who told him to cultivate!" Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a fascinating novel that makes people feel like they are in the world of martial artists. The young man in the story carried a long knife on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist as he strode forward. People could not help but be moved by his courage and determination. The author brought the readers into a world full of Jianghu with his unique settings and wonderful dungeons. Although the protagonist had a cheat, his journey was not smooth sailing, but full of challenges and difficulties. This sense of realism made people more invested in the story, and at the same time, it made people feel gratified by the growth and progress of the protagonist. All in all,"Book of Troubled Times" was a fascinating novel. It inspired people to think. Not only did it make people enjoy the book, but it also gave people a deeper understanding of life, emotions, psychology, society, and history. It was worth reading! 2."Spirit Realm Traveler": On the first day of its release, it was ranked first on Qidian's monthly votes, bestsellers, characters, and trending works. The author, Xiao Langjun, also became the first author on the Qidian platform to collect more than 200,000 points in 24 hours. The first 24 hours after it went on sale, 81127 copies were ordered. It broke 100,000 yuan in a week. As a veteran newspaper reader, I'll mark five keywords for everyone: [Book Review],[Creation],[Writing Style], and [Daily Life]. The book reviews were the most attractive part of the book. The stars were shining and the great gods gathered here. Once a new word appeared, the book friends would say everything they knew and learn a lot of new knowledge. The popularity of "Da Feng The Nightwatchman" could not be separated from the reviews of netizens. However, this problem still needed to be properly guided. An anonymous operator said that after a chapter was released one night, thousands of comments were deleted. In terms of creativity, the protagonist, Zhang Yuanqing, was a freshman in university. He accidentally received a mysterious gift from a good friend, a Spirit Realm access card, and thus began a bizarre "Spirit Realm" adventure. Spirit realm and reality were similar to a spirit realm world that combined reality and reality into reality, combining the "meta-universe" and science fiction. However, no one knew how far science fiction could go. In terms of writing style, this book was still mixed with suspense elements and supernatural elements. This kind of crime-solving writing method was very suitable for the rhythm of web novels. The world view of this book would be unfolded in a "game" mode, and the structure of the writing would adopt a two-line approach. The plot would be richer, and the plot logic would be more exquisite and rigorous. The description of daily life was his strength in selling newspapers. It was the foundation of his online novels and also his consistent creative feature. The group portraits in his books were vivid. Often, with a few sentences or even a sentence, the readers could quickly grasp a person's character. However, the shortcoming was that it was a little too much. In fact, writing skills were the foundation of the newspaper seller. It was mainly about daily life and character creation. As long as this was present, no matter what book he wrote, people would read it. He had already entered the middle stage, so he could take a look. 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 Familiar":"King of Familiar" is a book that makes people's eyes light up. It has no traces of a routine, and the style of writing is relaxed and not oppressive, giving people a pleasant reading experience. This book told the story of a teenager and a husky in a new era. The author's writing was excellent and made people look forward to it. Overall, I give this book a recommendation score of 8.3. The setting of this exquisite book was very outstanding, and there were also many cool points. It allowed people to read many chapters in one breath. It was definitely a book that was highly recommended. 5."Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": Not a bad fairy grass. Although the update is a little slow, I can see the shadow of Xianxia, online games, and harem in this book at the same time. Every time he read it, it would be refreshing. If he could maintain the pace and finish it with two or three million words, it would be a masterpiece. 6: National Forensic Science: Keyword: Forensic System, Professional Criminal Investigation, Good Writing God's New Book He recalled the author's novel,'The Great Physician Ling Ran,' and was dazzled by his professional knowledge. This new book is also very cool. Sacrifice a relative to dissect at the beginning There should be some classic cases later to see if you can increase your knowledge. The author's writing style was really good. It was very vivid, and some of the words used were really vivid. The lines of the text were filled with life. She liked it very much and finished reading it in one breath! 7."Wait, Heroine": Emmmm. .... The male protagonist is talented and the characters are well portrayed. The male protagonist's pet bird is very interesting. 8."Mantang Colorful":"Blue Quality" It was the author's new book. The author had successfully become one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings with this book last year. He could be considered a great god of historical literature. This time, it was no longer the Song Dynasty, but the prosperous Great Tang. The protagonist had transmigrated to become the Du family's attendant. He was a handsome boy, but there was not much description of his appearance. In terms of the plot, it inherited the explosive opening of the previous movie, with ups and downs and brilliant scenes. The conflict was only unexpected and reasonable. The logic of the writing was smooth and logical. In terms of writing style, Cousin's pen was still strong enough. He outlined the character's image with just a few words. A clip could bring you a golden experience like a movie. Those who had read the last book should understand. The only thing was that for readers who did not know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, the threshold of reading might be slightly higher. Other than that, there was nothing obscure in the text. 9."Hidden Blind Corner": The quality is guaranteed in the early stages. This is the experience of an ordinary person who, after obtaining a special ability, slowly grows up in a blind corner and reaches the extreme. At the beginning of this round, Sister Daxiao would be able to enter the mysterious dungeon to fight monsters. She would be able to collect the ever-evolving Flower of Evil to build a novel flower armor (Masked Superman's sense of déjà vu). The main character would transform into a Masked Knight and punch everything that was not convinced. The only bad thing is that I like water, which is the most to my liking out of all the recent books. 10:"The Final Divine Order": The Plot of a Missing Person Saving a Beauty Is Poisonous 11."Beyond Time": God Er Gen's new work. The system is martial artists and cultivators, and the division is fantasy. It looks okay at the moment and has different elements from traditional fantasy. In short, it's highly recommended. It was exam week, and this was the last update of the month. The next update should be in July. 2022.6.16 "This Game Is Too Real":" Fattening Up" [Update: The quality of the book has been stable up to the latest chapters, but the percentage of comments that are vulgar and lame has increased significantly. It's puzzling.] It's a nice fourth natural disaster text with a wasteland background. It's my favorite fourth natural disaster text at the moment. 13： Red Heart Sky Patrol: Actually, I no longer needed to push Red Heart anymore. However, I had already fallen into this trap when the book's results were not very good. However, at that time, because of a plot in the early stages, I was unhappy and directly abandoned the book. Later on, when I discovered that Red Heart was starting to rise on the leaderboards, I seriously read it again with doubts. From then on, it was out of control. I only had one suggestion for those who came after me. If you read it in the early stages and your mentality explodes, don't give up easily when you're unhappy. Just keep reading it. This was a good book with a lot of positive energy. (The current controversial plot has ended. Whether you like it or not can be decided.) "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. The world view in the book was also very unique, filling people with curiosity and anticipation. In the process of reading, the readers could not only feel the tension and excitement of the story, but they could also be inspired to think about life, emotions, psychology, society, history, and other issues. Overall, this book was a good book that made people immersed in it. I recommend it to readers who like ancient style writing and mysterious stories. "The Great Ming State Preceptor": The Great Ming State Preceptor was a fascinating historical novel. The author used the Ming Dynasty as the background and told the story of a state preceptor. The main character was a transmigrator. He used the king who was thirsty for talent, the transmigrator who was bent on death, and the black-robed prime minister who was below him as clues to start a contest called the fate of the country. The book incorporated a lot of popular science knowledge, such as politics, economics, natural science, etc. Compared to other time-travel novels, it was unique. The author's description of history and characters was also very vivid, making people feel as if they were in the scene of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the protagonist's stance was very impressive. He did not do it for himself, but for the people. He hoped to use his own thoughts to change the world and let the people live a better life. Overall, this book was refreshing and was a historical novel worthy of recommendation. As a snake hunter, Xu Ying had always been honest and diligent until this day when he caught a different snake... On the first day of the third month, incense was burning everywhere in the Divine Land. The statues that protected the villages, towns, cities, and counties woke up one after another to enjoy the sacrifices of the people. However, from that day onwards, the world was in chaos. 17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Rebirth?": It was a book about food and grass. It didn't come with a halo that reduced one's intelligence. It didn't have a messy system, didn't have a saintly b * tch, and didn't have a tiger's body shaking. At least, after reading it for a long time, there wasn't too much of a problem. Although the plot was similar to that of the first grade of the official residence, it wasn't considered plagiarism. The emotional scenes here were better than the first grade of the official residence. The author even deliberately avoided it. It could be considered to have made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses. "Deep Sea Ember":"Deep Sea Ember" is a fascinating novel. The author's grand and mysterious worldview and serious yet relaxed style attracted the readers 'attention. The mystery in the story made people want to find out, and it made people curious about how many books Dayanzhu had to sacrifice. The author's writing style was very good. The characters in the book were all intelligent. The plot was complete and meticulous, giving people a lot to watch. The story was set in a world that had been completely overturned and fragmented, making people want to know more. All in all, this book is worth reading. I hope everyone can support the author even more. Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of the Demonic Martial Arts: A New Book of a Transcriptionist! The golden finger was to travel back and forth between two worlds, one for cultivation and the other for martial arts. Decisive and unconventional, brilliant! There were 24 chapters on the shelves, and now there were more than 100 chapters. 🌹🌹🌹 "Who told him to cultivate!" [82 points, licorice, funny immortal cultivation] It was a pretty good immortal cultivation novel, about the little b * stards joining hands to explore the immortal cultivation world.
