The young man carried a long saber on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist. He strode forward, but the Jianghu in his heart was vaguely difficult to see. Turning a page in the book of troubled times, it would rain for decades in the Jianghu. Suddenly looking back, the world has been split into pieces. 2."Spirit Walker":"Spirit Walker" was a work of a newspaper seller, Little Langjun (Platinum). It was an interesting soft science fiction story. During the period of its publication, this book could break through the 100,000-order mark and become a new benchmark in the industry. The story was fascinating and exciting. The author described it with exquisite language, showing a passionate plot that made the readers unable to stop.

He expressed it in a unique language, allowing the readers to fully feel the charm of the story. All in all,"Spirit Realm Walker" was a good book worth collecting and recommending. 3."Tang People's Table": Rating: AAA-plus I feel that this book has completely surpassed Jie Yu's previous works. It's very personal and the story of the Great Tang is also very well told. Of course, the premise is that you can read it. This is definitely a good historical text. I feel that it's a bit like a farming novel, but this field is Chang 'an, the Nightless City of the Tang Empire. I'm still looking forward to it. 4."King of the Familiar": I really like this type of book. It gives people a feeling that their eyes are shining. There are no traces of routines. The style of writing is relaxed and not oppressive. I feel pretty good at the moment. Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation is a wonderful novel. The story began with the protagonist transmigrating to the game world and becoming the son of the villain. However, he was kidnapped by the female protagonist, and a series of plots in which the female was strong and the male was weak unfolded. The protagonist's identity and personality were completely different from the real villain, but his tenacity and courage were impressive. The setting of the cheat also added a hint of suspense and interest to the story. The author's writing was smooth, the plot was compact, the characters were vivid, and the setting was very creative. The entire book left a deep impression on everyone. I highly recommend this book and give it five stars. National Forensics: Status: Upgraded [Short comment: Doctor Ling Ran's opening was so amazing, and this book is the same.] The short stories combined with the forensic setting were quite good. Although many skills were no longer related to forensic science, it was quite interesting to read. In addition, it seemed that the book had completely abandoned the emotional line. There was almost no related plot, which was quite interesting. Rating: 7."Heroine Wait": Guan Guan's new book has many female leads. The process of conquering the beautiful women one by one is written in detail and moving. The plot setting is often ridiculous and reasonable. The images of the female leads were distinct and there was no facial makeup. Niaoniao's setting was very pleasing. Of course, Flying Heaven was even better. [Rating: Five stars] 8."Mantang Colorful": Recently, I like to read historical articles… The author,[Weird Cousin], wanted to use this book to become a god, so he immediately opened this book after the end of the Song Dynasty. 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."Secret Dead Corner": What else can I say? Get lost, sister! It's already on the shelves. The 24-hour first order score is 40,000. I hope Rollie will persevere and write well. Platinum is in sight. 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": Er Gen's new book, guaranteed quality in the early stages. He abandoned his cheerful and relaxed style and leaned towards a heavy one. In the later stages... I'll see for myself. "This Game Is Too Real" was a fascinating novel. The protagonist had traveled to the ruins of war hundreds of years later and possessed technology that was connected to the past. This setting filled people with curiosity and anticipation. The novel combined elements of the future game and reality, allowing the readers to experience the hot-blooded and idiotic plot while reading. Although there were no nauseating scenes in the description of the interaction between the protagonist and the woman, the intelligence was on the line, giving the readers a sense of novelty and thought. Throughout the story, the protagonist summoned the fourth catastrophe (player) to make the entire world indecent. This setting was very interesting. The readers could view this book as a game novel, or they could view it as a farming novel. The content was rich enough to satisfy the needs of the readers.

The author is very skilled in controlling the character and plot. Every character was lifelike. Whether it was the main character, supporting characters, or extras, they were all unforgettable.

Although the numbers are already very high, I believe that this book will continue the legend of the Lord of the Mysteries. Overall, I give Ring of Destiny a rating of 90 points. 15."The Great Ming State Preceptor": A rare historical article. The author's foundation is solid. I won't give you the details, but the introduction of the book is very clear. One of them was the protagonist reincarnating nine lives in China.

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. Chapter 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?": The Story of City Life The male protagonist was hung up before his death, and he was a long-term spare tire. He was despised for blind dates in his thirties. He would rather die than fall in love when he was eighteen again. Everything was "forward-looking" and he would never be a bootlicker. However, things were often the more he did not want to get something, the more he could get it. The male lead had started a new life... Unexpectedly good-looking The characters are pretty good The female protagonist is scared and silly. She's quite cute. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is quite sweet. 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 world that had been completely overturned and shattered. The order of the past was gone, and strange visions dominated the endless sea beyond civilization. The isolated island cities and the fleets that challenged the sea had become the only lights of the civilized world, while the shadows of the past were still stirring in the deep sea, waiting to continue to devour the dying world. However, for the new captain of the Lost Home, there was only one problem he had to consider first. Who knew how to sail the boat? 19."Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" is a novel that people look forward to.

He had the ability to collect all kinds of resources to arm himself. At the beginning, there was a feeling of two worlds being reversed. There would definitely be other worlds in the future. The author's writing was smooth, and the plot was traditional and attractive. Overall, this was a novel that was worth reading. "Who told him to cultivate!" It's funny, but it has a more rigorous setting. This kind of story should be like this. The simple fun and the rigorous and serious style are not attractive You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
