Interesting classic style and fan fiction. It is rather an oxymoron. But the main thing is the text itself, the eternal question and dilemma, what is more important, what comes first - the form of the text or its content. The ability to give text, know styles and genres, be able to create two or three-axis composition. Comply with the literary language, write smoothly, without text roughness. The content may be so-so or, on the contrary, brilliant. But this is offtopic. The world is not calm now, fake news, hybrid warfare, hauling of the ropes of the polar poles of forces, opposition of ideas and empires, infecting hydra of neo-imperialism, neocolonialism. Different approaches, different formats, two dimensional standards to the same problems but for different countries. The brilliant Russian scholar Vernadsky hoped that the 21st century would be the century of the "Noosphere" ... BUT ... alas ... the 21st century is far from the era of Renaissance ... Judging by the synoptic and the first three chapters, this short story covers the current topic of the modern world. From the first lines. felt "classic style", literary processing, knowledge of the composition of the construction of the text: Prologue, Exposure, Outline of Action, Main Action, Climax, Decoupling, Epilogue, Lyrical Digression ... This is evident in the text !!!! This is not similar to the usual text of the novels, your work, similar to the old fiction of the 20th century! Easy to read, interesting plot. Probably read will be even more interesting, worth the story, those who really loves high classical fiction. Successes to the author in his difficult work. Strength and fortitude, to be able to write a novel so that its end is not merged, as is often the case in modern novels. Classical literature - knows when to stop, so that the end is interesting, making you think and not regret that you spent so much time on this story to read the merged end. Thank you for the pleasure delivered in reading such an exquisite text, I have not read this for a long time. Respectfully,

I think 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan is also among the best. It's a complex story about love, guilt, and the power of the written word. The prose is beautiful, and the way the story unfolds, with its multiple perspectives and the big reveal at the end, is truly masterful.

After hugging someone's thigh, I went crazy in the survival variety show

[Shuang Jie, 1v1, Redemption, Giant Pet] Yun Xianghuan, the pitiful little girl who had been disfigured by the fate of being taken away by the book and the daughter. In order to defy the heavens and change his fate, he had staked everything on participating in a wilderness live broadcast variety show with the lowest survival rate in the world. She had thin arms and legs, and her chin was thin. One look and one could tell that she was malnourished and weak. Everyone unanimously thought that Yun Xianghuan was a cannon fodder who had eaten a box lunch on the first day. Even Yun Xianghuan felt the same way. However…banana leaves, bamboos, hatchets, fat fish…When these urgently needed supplies suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xianghuan, the atmosphere gradually became strange. Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Could it be that she had magic that could grant her wishes? Until one day, Yun Xianghuan suddenly bumped into a big black panther with wings, carefully placing a bunch of grapes in front of her house… Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Ah…Help! She…she seemed to be pampered by the Beast Deity! As time passed, Yun Xianghuan developed a strong affection for the big black panther. Yun Xianghuan pinched the little meat on her stomach and looked at her fair and chubby self. Not only was she not happy, but she was also crying her heart out. This was because the Leopard Lord's gaze on her had become more and more strange recently… As expected, she knew that the big black panther would not treat her well for no reason. It must have treated her as storage food. Now that she was well, she would definitely be eaten. Yun Xianghuan gritted her teeth and reached out her hand." You…you can eat me now!" Wuwuwu…" When a certain leopard heard this, he immediately transformed into a living person. He pulled his tie and approached. His eyes were filled with smiles. "QAQ!"

After Rebirth, I Was Spoiled by the Beast Deity,"" After Rebirth, I Changed to Take Beauty and Force My Miserable Redemption Script,"" Man vs. Wild: Leopard Lord, Don't Bite Me "
