Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a novel that makes one's eyes light up. The author, Ji Cha, cleverly integrated the harem plot into the book, but it did not affect the overall development of the story. In Zhao Changhe's comments, he mentioned that although this book was covered in a fantasy shell, it was actually a martial arts novel. The biggest highlight of this book was its writing style. At every climax, the author would use a mixture of classical and vernacular expressions, which not only enhanced the momentum, but also added to the beauty of the sentences. In addition, the author also used various environmental descriptions to give people a strong literary taste. Although the taste was a little strange, it still looked very good. At the same time, the author also used a combination of virtual and real performance techniques to make the whole story level up. The entire novel was light and funny, the writing was beautiful, and the plot was colorful and fascinating. The author's grand structure was admirable. I hope the author can get better and better! 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.<<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. [King of Familiars: 4 stars] [Temporarily: 80 points] Author: Light Spring Flowing Sound Keyword: Original Familiar City Special Ability Husky Why did you read this book? 1. Qing Quan's new book was still based on the original setting. However, unlike the previous one, the protagonist was in a time before the rules of beast taming had yet to appear. Therefore, compared to the previous academic style, the concept of the recuperation of reiki in this book was stronger. 2. In terms of the plot, the simple narrative style took into account the vast majority of readers. From reality to the pocket dimension, from "ordinary people" to "chosen children", the plot was clean, concise, and appropriate. The relationship between the characters and the story environment were clearly explained. 3. The author's basic skills in character creation were very solid, and the characters 'personalities and behaviors were also very consistent. For example, the protagonist loves animals-> adopted Boss Ha, has a competitive heart-> loves swordsmanship and shooting, loves challenges-> 16 consecutive championships in the Bug Fighting Competition. Therefore, the "main character plot" of this book was very credible, because it was the previous experience that shaped such a main character. <strong></strong> Fans of familiar-themed books (especially those with huskies at home) are strongly recommended to give it a try, and readers who like new urban superpowers like Global Martial Arts are recommended to give it a try. Similar works recommended: The works of the light spring, the works of the eagle catching the chicks 5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": 8.7 points Heaven did not give birth to me, Xu Changtian, and the villain's eternal night. Only fake villains relied on their golden fingers to make a fortune. Real villains dared to face their bleak lives! Hmm…this villain was more suited to be a philosopher. 6. National Forensic Medicine: Dragon Fairy Grass🌸 [It's worth a look][Recently promoted] The writing style of Zhiniao Village was very outstanding, with strong professional knowledge and very exciting and mature content. The plot did not drag on, and he felt that this book could become a new stage in his creation. The characters were full of charm. The main character only needed to dissect the "corpse" to gain experience and randomly obtain the "ability" of the corpse when it was alive. The protagonist used his golden finger ability and his own professional ability. Through fingerprint comparison, trace detection, footprint detection, blood stain detection, image enhancement, field investigation, forensic anatomy, and other criminal investigation abilities, they continuously solved the accumulated cases and homicide cases in the criminal police team. He also experienced the lives of the victims through dissecting the corpses. Life was heavy, life was light, and life was precious. In these horrifying, cruel, bizarre, or accidental cases, the protagonist and countless police officers defended the justice of the law day after day. Justice might be late, or it might be absent. However, there would always be people who would walk forward resolutely in order to uphold justice. This was a rare book that he wanted to read all night.

The author used exquisite writing to describe the scenes of Jianghu and the temple, making people feel as if they were in it. The protagonist, Night Terror Hall, was adopted by the Escort Agency in the Otherworld. After a difficult growth process, he finally found a peerless martial art. However, he was faced with the choice of entering the martial arts world. In the story, the female protagonists had distinct images, distinct personalities, and reasonable emotions, making people look forward to their fates. The humorous plot and unique couplets made the readers smile. The image of the protagonist, Night Terror Hall, was also very distinct. He had the courage to fight demons and ghosts, and the wisdom to speak eloquently. He played with everyone, making people admire his bravery and wisdom. Although the author was slightly lacking in describing the scenes of the temple and the martial arts world, overall, this novel left a deep impression on people. I recommend it to readers who like martial arts and cool novels. 8:"Mantang Huacai": After reading more than 100 chapters, it was a rare historical novel. The rhythm was precise, the characters were vivid, and the plot was fascinating. The background was during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and she was not the only female lead. 9:"Hidden Dead Corner": Actually, there's no need to recommend it anymore. Anyway, Rollie's book is the type that those who love to read it will chase after it, and those who don't read it won't be able to continue reading it. After so many books, the bad habit of the late plot going berserk hasn't changed at all, but the early stages are really good. The ability of the interesting imagination hasn't declined either. So I put him up because I finally couldn't help but pull out the seedling and think it looked really good. Damn it, why did I have to look at it so early? In my heart, the most beautiful place for Rollie was the Magus World. She really liked the atmosphere that she created. "Final Divine Duty":"Final Divine Duty" is a novel setting of science fiction + fantasy supernatural martial arts novel. The author, Tuoba Goudan, attracted the attention of many readers with his unique setting and wonderful plot. The advantages of this book were very obvious. Firstly, there were layers to the world view. The first ten chapters introduced the martial arts system by the needs of the protagonist. Chapter 54,"The appearance of the evil cult" expanded the world view. Chapter 84,"The Organization of Transformed Humans" was officially launched. At the same time, there was a hidden line,"The archaeological work of the White Mountain era", which maintained suspense from beginning to end. Secondly, the character creation was naturally not exaggerated. Every character had a unique memory point, and the image would change according to the protagonist's cognition. Thirdly, the leveling rhythm was smooth and reasonable. The protagonist gradually became stronger, and the progression of the plot was also in line with the development logic. Finally, it's style "Beyond Time": Status: Upgraded [Short comment: Xianxia novels are a must-read. At least, it can guarantee a lower limit. However, this book is not only a lower limit. In my opinion, the upper limit is extremely high. The plot is extremely brilliant when it is mixed with strangeness. The main character's decisiveness in killing is too much to my liking. It's just that two chapters a day is not enough. I hope to improve it.] Rating: "This Game Is Too Realistic": 9.0 Chen Xing was indeed suitable for this kind of writing. Including the mastermind behind the scenes, he was the fourth catastrophe. The protagonist had traveled to the wasteland hundreds of years in the future. There was a shelter around him that allowed modern people to descend on clones with their consciousness. Therefore, the protagonist used the name of the game to trick players from the Blue Planet to help him build the apocalyptic wasteland. There were many similar novels, and the future plot was controlled by the author. However, Chen Xing was one of the best. 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol":"Red Heart Sky Patrol" was an eye-catching Xianxia novel. The structure of the story reminded people of the feeling when they first watched "The Secret." The group portraits were very well drawn, with the chivalrous taste and talent of the otaku pig. This book had the potential to become another Xianxia classic. Although some of the settings were not rigorous enough, the plot of this book was very novel and worth reading. If the plot and characters could be further enriched, it would become an impeccable book. Overall, Red Heart Sky Patrol was an unforgettable masterpiece of Xianxia. It perfectly combined immortal energy and chivalry, and the plot was wonderful. In this world, the ancient demon race had already disappeared, and the modern dragon race had also disappeared. The era of the Great Divine Dao was already like smoke, and the era of the peak of flying swords had also fallen. This book gave people a whole new reading experience. It was a rare masterpiece. 14."Ring of Fate": Praise The Fool. The second part of "Lord of the Mysteries" is finally here. This is the novel I'm looking forward to the most this year. I can't help but start killing after only three chapters. I'm waiting for the familiar characters to appear one by one. I strongly recommend it. 15."The Great Ming State Preceptor": 4/5 lecture-style novel. In ancient times, there were many novels that spread knowledge, but this was the first time he had read one that was so detailed. After hundreds of chapters, reading the novel felt like he was in class. After he was released from prison, he stopped teaching, and the plot became a little boring. "Ascending on the Right Day": At the moment, it feels a bit like the feeling of looking at the divine tomb. It's undoubtedly a divine work. Ranking index: 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?": It's so sweet that it's like falling out of a tooth. It's just that the comments are as if they can't quit after getting high... But it's really well written "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 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. 19."Cultivating Immortal in the Demonic Martial Troubled Times": As long as it's a plagiarist book, it's worth recommending! The plagiarist's natural flow of words and clear rhythm were important. Most importantly, there was no limit to the number of updates. It was as if he was locked in front of the computer without typing or eating. Ha! "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a delightful novel. The protagonist of the story, Lu Yang, had transmigrated to the cultivation world. His arrival brought some chaos and joy to the cultivation world.
