The protagonist has transmigrated into a game world that has been cleared many times. It is not saintly and not poisonous. The writing is excellent. The protagonist in the original game world will kill him when he goes up. It is unconventional. National Forensics: 81 points, licorice, forensic doctor Recently, there were fewer medical novels about forensic doctors. There had been similar novels since ancient times.

"Final Divine Duty": The cosmic mecha was as strong as a dragon, and the gods and devils in the abyss whispered and roared. In this era where new and old techniques, technology and divine power collided, Lu Yuan brought along an attribute panel that allowed him to change classes indefinitely and stumbled down. "Class [Martial Arts Grandmaster]+ Material [Abyss Nine-Headed Dragon Heart], can be upgraded to [Dark Dragon Sect]..." Lu Yuan looked at his hands that were gradually covered with black scales. The black hair on his back danced wildly without any wind. His dark red eyes stared at the human-shaped mechanical body that streaked across the night sky like a meteor. He smiled and muttered to himself in a low voice,"Now..." I should be able to tear apart a Mech with my bare hands…" 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.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are painted with corpses, and hundreds of years of heaven and earth are painted with hungry tigers. Heaven and earth are fair and merciless, I have a pure heart to survey the heavens! 14: Ring of Destiny: Save Stream: recommended Keyword: style [Short comment: Squid's new work. Its worldview is the same as the previous book, Lord of the Mysteries.] The main character had a sister who looked like a transmigrator. The main character was a local, outgoing, and liked to help others. The plot was well arranged, and the details were quickly retrieved. Overall, highly recommended. "Great Ming State Preceptor":"Great Ming State Preceptor" is a rare historical text. The author has shown a solid foundation in writing. The story started from the protagonist's release from prison. He began by asking for death and then gave a sermon that shocked Zhu Di. It gave people a sense of absurdity, but it also made people want to continue reading. Through step-by-step reasoning and intelligent descriptions, the author made the protagonist stand out in history. The historical content of this book had already surpassed that of his father, Han Gaozu, and the author was still constantly updating it. As a historical novel, although the plot was not too complicated, the author's writing style and the shaping of the protagonist allowed the readers to immerse themselves in it and enjoy the pleasure of reading. In general,'The Great Ming State Preceptor' was a historical novel that made people's eyes light up and was worth reading. 16:"Ascending on a Better Day":"My Disciples Want to Kill Me to Vent Their Anger" "This year, my blessings have arrived." "The rouge on her lips is delicious. I want to eat it again." A xianxia drama with a unique meaning. It's about how I've been trapped for 30,000 years and how to get out of my predicament in this life! 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth": It's Good listen to me into her "Deep Sea Ember" Ranking index: Tagged: sci-fi, adventure, Cthulhu myth, steampunk, sailing, doomsday wasteland The sci-fi veteran Platinum Distant Pupil's new work in the Cthulhu Mythical Doomsday Wasteland. Because the world was destroyed by the disaster of the Great Annihilation, the survivors established a new city-state civilization on the islands and arks, which was called the Deep Sea Era. The city-state civilization had returned to the early industrial civilization (steampunk), but humans still faced the threat of various strange existences and needed to fight against various "anomalies" and even "evil gods." The male protagonist coincidentally transformed into Captain Duncan on a ghost ship called the Lost Home and embarked on an adventure. ------ This book could not be said to be a complete counter to science fiction, but it was a unique "big eyeballs style." Ke was the background, sci-fi was embellishment, and the real core was "civilization." A civilization's struggle for salvation, an epic of the era crushing down on mortals. The language of the novel was very humorous, but it was not abrupt, and his personal style was clear. Beep, beep, 123 ------ I tried to read it. The style of writing is average, and the writing is quite smooth. However, the narration feels more like a Western novel. The pace is very slow, and the description is very detailed. It gives me a feeling similar to "The Lord of the Mysteries." Those who are used to online novels will find it too much water or nonsense. There are also long passages that will be more tiring to read, but if you read in, it will be much better after you get used to it. For readers who liked Cthulhu and its strange style, I recommend you to try reading it. ------ Description: On that day, the thick fog sealed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the thick fog and faced a completely overturned and fragmented world. The order of the past was gone, and strange phenomena dominated the endless sea beyond civilization. The isolated city-states and the fleets that challenged the sea had become the only lights left in the civilized world, while the shadows of the past were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to devour the dying world. However, for the new captain of the Lost Home, there was only one problem that he had to consider first-who knew how to sail the ship? "Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" is a novel with an old-fashioned setting but a novel story. The protagonist seemed to be emotional and heartless, devoted to the Dao but also listening to music. This contradictory character made the story even more fascinating. 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. Moreover, she seamlessly connected the two worlds and developed steadily, which was amazing. The author's writing style was sharp and unrestrained, bringing a new reading experience to the readers. It was reasonable to say that laws were important in troubled times. The protagonist could also become a big shot in the cultivation world, which made people look forward to the development of the story in the future. In short,'Cultivating Immortals in the Demonic Martial World' was a fascinating novel that was worth reading. "Who told him to cultivate!"⭐⭐⭐ The number of updates was small because there were too few updates. It was still the same as the previous book. Waiting for updates was too tiring. It was like squeezing toothpaste every day. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

They add bookshelves to save them. 4."King of Familiar": A new work by the Clear Spring Stream, a rising star among the beast-taming novels. I believe that it will be another record-breaking beast-taming novel. Currently, the novel has just started, and there isn't much content, but it has already achieved very good results. The author has relied on his own unique style to shoulder the banner of beast-taming novels by himself. He has led the crowd to follow suit. I believe that the author will be able to create another glory in this novel! 5: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation is a fascinating Xianxia novel. The author had done a first-class job in the plot arrangement. The characters were vividly portrayed and the emotions were handled meticulously, making people fall into it.

You can read them without worry. 10. Final Divine Duty: Get lost (High Martial Arts) The author is a high-level martial arts author in FL. His pace is good and his level is relatively fast. I hope it won't collapse in the later stages. 11:"Beyond Time": The Strange Wind Immortal's Heroic Story has returned to its original starting point ~ I'm looking forward to it! [This Game Is Too Realistic]: Taking stock of good works: I Have a Suite in the Apocalypse. [Description: Traversing the wasteland world, unlocking the sanctuary system. Able to summon creatures called "players" from the world before you transmigrated.] 13:"Red Heart Sky Patrol": A new god ascended the throne. This book will definitely become a god! Excellent! I strongly recommend you to enter the pit. Take your time and read the third volume patiently. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ----------------- 2021.2.20 The first evaluation, the second. It's a good book recommended after reading the second chapter. The name is a little old-fashioned. ----------------- 2021.3.19 The second evaluation, a. After reading the first volume, he strongly recommended it again. It was an absolute immortal herb. His writing style was first-class, and his ability to create characters was at the peak. He could clearly remember the names and personalities of almost every character who appeared. The disadvantages were that part of the plot was a little old-fashioned, the protagonist's presence was weak, and the character's rate of death was a little high… ----------------- 2021.3.26 Three comments, first up. After reading the third volume, all the flaws in the early stages were swept away. He could be sure that as long as the ending was not bad and there was no eunuch, it would definitely be a divine work. ----------------- 2021.4.15 Four comments, first class. He had caught up with the latest progress, the Yellow River Meeting Plot. Let's not talk about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. First, although the background was grand, it lacked novelty and the plot was a little old-fashioned. Fortunately, the author's writing was strong enough to write the old-fashioned plot. Second, compared to the many supporting characters with distinct personalities, the protagonist's creation was not outstanding enough. He was clearly a peerless genius. However, it didn't always make people feel that it was brilliant. It could also be because the supporting characters were too successful and took away too much of the excitement. Thirdly, the plot development was slow. There were countless holes buried and new plots kept being created. He only hoped that the author had enough professional ethics and didn't let the ending be a mess or a eunuch. He would fill in all the holes dug in the beginning. In short, it was an excellent book. Moreover, it had a large amount of content. It was recommended to enter the pit. ------------------ 2021.5.4 Five comments, no A true divine work would be considered a god-level work, and the first evaluation would be above armor. The author's pen strength was too strong, and it had the style of ancient times. Writing a web novel was a blow to his reputation. As long as it didn't end badly, there was no reason for it not to become a masterpiece. ------------------ 2021.12.29 Recently, the quality of the novel had declined. The author wanted to express too many things and was overly concerned about the readers 'opinions of the characters. It seemed like they had reached a bottleneck in the transition from traditional novel authors to web novel authors. Let's watch for a while. 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" The author started from a unique perspective, writing from the direction of the historical trend. The author used the dialogue between the past and the present as a starting point. Through the blending and collision of ancient and modern thoughts, he constructed the characters. They were vivid, full, and full of depth, giving people enlightenment. [Reading Progress] He had the auto-feed on, but he didn't keep reading. [Author's impression] The author's professionalism was high, and he had a lot of knowledge. He had a wide range of knowledge, and his writing was as smooth as flowing water. It was amazing! To me, the excitement before the release of the main character is a little monotonous. I look forward to the author's wonderful description after the main character is released from prison! 16:"Ascending on a New Day": There was a Reading Snake named Niu Qiqi. There was a snake-catching youth named Xu Ying. There is a big bronze bell that says it was not stolen, Everyone, come and see Otaku Pig's new work. 17:"Who's in Love After Being Reborn?": Good book, elegant writing, as if someone had really returned to that year. It was a gentle and poetic past, a time where everything was still in time, a vision that saw through the secular world, a passion of youth, and a future filled with hope… -- ★ ★ ★ ★ four stars - The author was a young lady from another website and had a lot of experience. There were no toxic points at the moment. The first female lead was a cute and arrogant socialite rich woman from the same class. The male lead decisively hugged her. At the same time, the male lead was created to be sunny and brainy. Deep Sea Ember: Sprout If it was too little, he would write a simple book review first, and then make up for it later. I think the story of a modern teacher entering another world by mistake is a bit like the book in Big Eyeball's book. Could it be that someone arranged for him to transmigrate? The author's forte was the structure of the world. His logic was meticulous, and the details were exquisite. The book seemed to be very ambitious. Even the gods of the other world seemed to have some problems. The main character was a legendary captain with a fierce reputation. In fact, he was an "ordinary person" who pretended to be calm. The contrast was very interesting. [Reward index: Temporarily four stars] Chapter 19:"Cultivation in the Demonic Martial World": The plagiarist's new book explodes with popularity. The protagonist kills decisively! The average order was 60,000 +. This was the best work of plagiarism. The theme was of high quality, the quality was high, the updates were large, and the rhythm was stable and refreshing. I recommend it! "Who told him to cultivate!" The funny immortal cultivation novel that was so imaginative made people's eyes go black. There was no need to introduce the author, White Raven. The standard of this book was also high. The jokes were very dense, and there were many interesting tricks. The protagonist, whose thinking was different from ordinary people, joined a large sect that was completely different from the traditional style of the cultivation world, and gradually brought the sect's atmosphere to the outside world, leading the entire cultivation world astray. The main character was talented enough to cultivate the Earth Shrinking Technique into the Earth Shrinking Technique and the Earth Shrinking Technique. Together with the barbarian Confucian cultivator who had found the wrong target to learn from and the eldest son who had run away from home, they led the world of Cultivators down a crooked path. It was exciting to see what other tricks they would play next. This book was more about daily life. Those who didn't like reading daily life content would definitely get addicted to it.

Eiichiro Oda is known for his elaborate world - building, and this can be seen in his short stories as well. For beginners, the amount of detail he packs into a short story might seem overwhelming at first. But if you take your time to read and understand the context, you'll start to appreciate the depth of his storytelling. His short stories often have a message or moral, and once you grasp that, it becomes easier to understand the overall plot.

I think it depends on the writer. Some writers find short stories more difficult because they have to convey a complete idea or story in a very limited space. Every word has to count. Others might find novels harder because of the need to sustain a long - form narrative and keep all the plotlines and characters consistent over a large number of pages.
