The supporting characters were also very lively and interesting, leaving a deep impression on people. The Almighty's work could be said to have written the Jianghu in the hearts of some people. 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.

In addition, the description of the female characters in this book was also very good. It was full of the aura of the female protagonist and left a deep impression on people. In general, this book was more relaxing and enjoyable than the previous two books. It seemed to be alright. 2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world. Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties. "From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit." "Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by." 3."Tang's Table": 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.

She was ready to enjoy an unprecedented feast to satisfy her hungry stomach. 4."King of Familiars": The author was very familiar with the character design and plot control. Every character was vivid and lifelike. Many characters, including the main character and supporting characters, were very impressive. Especially the deep writing skills, which made the plot go up and down smoothly. 5: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Half-Step Immortal Grass A good book buried by the title. The story is logical, the characters are well portrayed, and the world view is not bad. Some of the characters 'IQ is not only online, but even beyond the standard. However, the plot during the ordinary period is not well written, and some are too deliberate. Overall, it seems that it has the potential to become a god for the time being. 6.

The updates were also awesome, and it could be said to be a sincere work. Currently, he had more than 100 chapters. The style was political, the plot was compact, the characters were vividly portrayed, and the speed was fast, so his results on the leaderboard were also very good. However, some readers also reflected that if the plot and character image of this type of novel were not grasped well, it would give people the feeling of playing house. Fortunately, the author's ability was obvious. Those who mind the speed of the car should enter carefully. Those who liked history and politics could give it a try. 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."Final Divine Duty":"Final Divine Duty" is a rather good Deep Blue style work. The cheat of this book was the dark blue system that could add points to attributes and skills. It left a deep impression on people. The author's writing style was very skilled, and the world setting was also very good. The various concepts and forces were very rich, and the timing of the author's introduction of these elements was also very appropriate. It did not give people the feeling of changing maps rigidly.

He hoped that the author could maintain this level of writing in the future to avoid the main character's combat power collapsing because of his unparalleled strength. This would maintain the challenge of the story. Overall,"The Final Divine Duty" was a highly recommended book, with a recommendation index of 82 points.

At the end of the first volume, Jiang Wang's hair turned white overnight. In the fourth volume, Jiang Wuqi became the autumn frost and chased after Zhang Linchuan for thousands of miles. It was very interesting and had many climaxes. <strong></strong><strong> A slow-moving article. It was very painful to chase after the updates, but the end was very exciting and hot-blooded. It made people feel that the pain at the beginning was worth it. The first volume was about the ordinary and warm daily life of the small town. However, at the end of the first volume, when Jiang Wang's hair turned white overnight, the scene was very shocking. It brought us into this cruel and real world. Although many people criticized Jiang Wang's Red Heart for being "self-adapting Red Heart," I want to say that the protagonist is constantly growing. He is not born with knowledge. He insists on the justice in his heart, upholding the path of a pure child without a guilty conscience, and tries his best to do the best within his ability. 🍻"Since ancient times, heroes have been elected.

"Mr. Jiang, I am Zhu Di. Please be the state preceptor!" "Ascending on a Certain Day":"Ascending on a Certain Day" was a novel about cultivating immortality and refining Qi. The story setting was unique and fascinating. The main character was an ordinary snake hunter, but he had extraordinary talent. In this world full of gods and demons, the protagonist's identity was not ordinary. He resisted the gods and was forced to enter the world of immortal cultivation to begin his adventure. The story was full of adventures and challenges. The protagonist grew up in the process of cultivation, broke free from control, recovered his memories, and remembered his identity. The whole story was full of ups and downs. It was thrilling and irresistible. Moreover, the author's writing was smooth, and the plot was exciting and thought-provoking. After reading it, he gained a lot. All in all,"Ascending on a Better Day" was a novel that left one with endless aftertastes. It was worth reading. 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth": Rating: 7.9 What's so fun about dating? Isn't it good to earn money? Jiang Qin, who had been reborn at the age of 18 with countless grievances, opened his eyes and the only thought was to start a business and make money. He wanted to lose his wealth and freedom. "Deep Sea Ember":" licorice" The New Book of the Far Eye. 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 main character can randomly possess humans in the mainland city through consciousness projection. Currently, he is possessing one of the believers of an evil god whose goal is to restore the past. This book had all the shortcomings of his previous works, namely, the off-line character, the uncomfortable mouth fetish, and the frequent "mechanical" action descriptions. In short, in my opinion, his character creation is completely inadequate. However, his strength was his grand worldview. Xyrin and the abnormal creatures could be considered soft science fiction, and starting from Daybreak Sword, he combined fantasy and science fiction. This book further introduced the elements of mystery, so this book was still worth looking forward to. Setting:8 Plot:6 Writing Style:8 Others:7 19:"Cultivating in the Demonic Martial World": Duke Wen Chao has also opened a book. It seems to have been more than half a year.

The character and plot in the book were the biggest highlights and highlights, especially the protagonist's cold and humorous personality and the unfathomable senior sister, which made people's eyes light up. The author's foundation in the story hadn't changed, and the style was inherited from the previous book. Crow seemed to have indeed opened up the conception and governor meridians. The story was set in an era of chaos and the arrival of the Great Era, and it told a story about a weirdo. Although the cultivation system of the protagonist in the story seemed a little unusual, this unconventional plot made the readers feel interesting and novel. In addition, the high-quality storyline at the beginning also added more interest to the story. In short,"Who told him to cultivate!" It is a delightful and creative novel, recommended for readers who like a light and funny style. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
