There are three main periods. First, the ancient period where early civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans had their own versions of afterlife stories which influenced early novels. Second, the medieval period when religious beliefs dominated the concept of the afterlife in literature. And third, the modern period where there is a great diversity in how the afterlife is portrayed in novels, from scientific - fiction inspired ideas to more spiritual and philosophical ones.
Well, the history of dead afterlife novels can be traced back to various cultural roots. In ancient Greek mythology, there were stories about the underworld which influenced later works. These novels typically evolved over time. In the early days, they were more closely tied to religious teachings. But as literature developed, authors started to use the concept of the afterlife as a means of exploring human nature, morality, and the unknown. For instance, Dante's 'Divine Comedy' was a significant work that delved deep into the afterlife. Later, in modern literature, we find a lot of novels that take different stances on the afterlife, some more scientific - fiction - like, others more philosophical, all contributing to the rich tapestry of this genre.

"Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by."
3."The Tang's Table": 86 points licorice
It was obvious that Brother Two was a loyal believer of Jack London. His novels always had small animals, and the style of writing was more like Ancient Dragon. It focused on depicting human nature, but it was more old-fashioned than Ancient Dragon. In fact, Ancient Dragon was also a believer of Jack London. If Yue Guan was Jin Yong, it would be very difficult to surpass Yue Guan in history. The only way to change was to change the style of writing. Brother 2 was right to choose Gu Longfeng.
To look at history and interpret history from the perspective of human nature, not to look at human nature and interpret human nature from the historical environment. After all, history repeated itself, but human nature had never changed!
[King of Familiars]

Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation is a surprising novel. The story was set in time travel. The main character's soul traveled into a game world and became the third son of the Xu family, the villain who would be killed at the beginning of the game. However, as the protagonist explored, he discovered that the good in the game was actually the evil side. How the protagonist would reverse the future and complete the reform of the sect and the imperial court was something that everyone looked forward to. Although there were few emotional scenes, each female lead was clearly portrayed. In addition, the author's intelligence was on the line. The male lead did not lick the female lead every time he saw her. Overall, this novel was worth reading.

Although the subsequent plot remained to be seen, overall,"The Hidden Dead Corner" was a good book that was worth reading.
10:"Final Divine Duty": It's still a big deal. How should I put it? I feel that the intelligence added is nothing but a stronger learning ability. Tsk, it might also be for the sake of the plot. Most of the time, it's just a rush.
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 Realistic": The fourth type of natural disaster. After the protagonist dies in real life and travels through the wasteland world for 200 years, the golden finger can summon Earthlings to work for him as players.
The author's writing style and story structure were not bad. The protagonist's " planning" was not bad, and the players were also very self-conscious. The group portraits were well written, and the characters were more interesting. The infrastructure looks very popular. I strongly recommend it. It's not awkward.

Especially the author's writing style and storytelling were very strong. He combined the web novel routine with the ancient style writing style quite well, making people unable to stop. Although the reviews for this book weren't very good compared to the other books, overall, it was still worthy of this position.

Combined with the method of using history as a mirror, it gave people the feeling of looking at China's thousands of years and calculating the infinite possibilities of the future.

The novel will be released on the 13th of this month, and the first order is estimated to be around 30,000 yuan. I still recommend everyone to give it a try.
17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Rebirth": 8.3 points
Why did he have to fall in love after his rebirth?
Was it the cigarette or the wine?
He had no woman in his heart, so he pulled out his knife naturally!
"Deep Sea Ember": A new book by a great author. Currently, it's still a small seedling with a worldview similar to that of the Xyrin Empire, but it's a brand new universe and story. Those who had not read the author's old books did not stop reading this one.
Cthulhu steam, magical style of technology🤔
The protagonist was an ordinary middle school teacher. He was suddenly locked in his apartment. The apartment was floating in a fog. There was nothing around him. The only door that could leave the apartment led to a ghost ship from another world, the Lost Home.
The main character's soul had transmigrated into the ghost captain and inherited a small portion of his memories. This body was very strong, the kind of natural disaster that ranked fifth in the world. The main character did not have most of the memories, so he played the role of the captain and explored this foreign world.
The main character currently has a ghost ship with self-awareness, a talkative wooden goat head first mate, a beautiful doll with a head that often falls off, and a pigeon with an ie-like head.
Due to a natural disaster, this otherworld had become a sea world with 95% of the sea. At the same time, there were many terrifying strangeness similar to Cthulhu in the sea. The surviving humans lived on scattered islands and communicated by boat. The sun in the sky was also destroyed by the natural disaster. After 100 years of darkness, humans paid a huge price to create an artificial sun to bring light back to the world. The darkness would breed terrifying creatures, and only the fire energy could protect humans. Therefore, everyone had to be angry at night.🔥
There were no stars in this world, but there was the Spiritual Realm, subspace, and the deep sea. The author's imagination was very big, and there were many secrets in his worldview. As the protagonist explored, he slowly deciphered them. The main characters and supporting characters were all intelligent, and those who liked to decipher the code could not be missed.
He wasn't sure if there was a female lead, but there were quite a lot of girls, and they weren't ambiguous. The female character was created quite well. It was worth a look!
The protagonist has three views. I guess the follow-up should be to clear all kinds of evil cultists in the foreign world and lead the survivors to build a new world.
Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of the Demonic Martial Arts: A New Book of the Transcriptionist
He was well versed in the path of stability, and was the master of the two worlds. He repeatedly jumped in the world of martial arts and immortal cultivation.
Complementing each other's resources, cultivating in the chaotic times of the Demonic Martial World
"Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a funny novel, but it also had a more rigorous setting. The story of this book was simply amusing, but at the same time, it had a sense of seriousness. The story used daily cultivation as a clue to describe the various experiences of the protagonist, Lu Yang. Due to the protagonist's character, the plot gradually became ridiculous and logical, and this romantic feeling also affected the people around him. Many funny characters were playing a scene, not to mention the book review, which was also a source of happiness. Overall, this book was worth reading with its unique style and interesting storyline.

Visual novels originated in Japan in the 1980s. They were initially text - based adventures with some simple graphics. Early examples like 'Portopia Serial Murder Case' set the foundation. As technology advanced, they incorporated more complex art styles and music. In the 1990s, the genre grew with titles like 'Key' series which focused on emotional stories, often with elements of romance. Visual novels have since spread globally, influencing other forms of media as well.
Lesbian novels have an interesting history. In the early days, they were few and far between. However, with the growth of feminist movements and the increasing acceptance of different sexual orientations, the number and quality of lesbian novels grew. Many modern lesbian novels not only focus on the romantic relationships but also on the characters' personal growth, their struggles in a society that may not be fully accepting, and their search for identity. They are no longer just about the relationship but about a whole spectrum of experiences that lesbians go through.
Graphic novels have roots in various forms of visual storytelling. Historically, they emerged as a form that combined text and images in a unique way. In the mid - 20th century, there was a growth in the production of graphic novels in the Western world. Some of the early graphic novels were influenced by pulp magazines and the growing popularity of superhero comics. But they soon branched out. Today, graphic novels are used in education as well. They can help students understand complex concepts more easily through the combination of visuals and text.
I don't know who the main characters are in this novel as I haven't read it. Maybe there is a recently deceased person who becomes the central figure, like a young man or woman who has to adapt to the afterlife.
Modern fantasy novels have their roots in the 19th century. Writers like George MacDonald were early pioneers. His works combined elements of fairy tales and moral lessons. Then in the 20th century, J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' had a huge impact. It created a detailed and immersive world of Middle - earth with its own languages, races and histories. This influenced generations of fantasy writers to create their own complex and unique worlds.
