The power of Tang Zhen’s city was… He established a city and quickly leveled up his army with speeding tools. Then, he dominated this alternate world by seizing other cities. He sat at the very top. Beneath his feet was a vast floating city guarded by dragons and surrounded by angels. Countless cannons were also set up at various corners of the city. A million miles ahead, in the depths of the ocean, there was another city as large as a continent awaiting his conquest.

Great story, world, and characters. However, the short chapters does not inspire joy to the readers. It could have had higher ranking but fall short due to short chapters and few releases.

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. Short story writers may define their works as part of the artistic and personal expression of the form. They may also attempt to resist categorization by genre and fixed formation. Short stories have deep roots and the power of short fiction has been recognised in modern society for hundreds of years. The short form is, conceivably, more natural to us than longer forms. We are drawn to short stories as the well-told story, and as William Boyd, the award-winning British author and short story writer has said: "[short stories] seem to answer something very deep in our nature as if, for the duration of its telling, something special has been created, some essence of our experience extrapolated, some temporary sense has been made of our common, turbulent journey towards the grave and oblivion".[2] In terms of length, word count is typically anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 for short stories, however some have 20,000 words and are still classed as short stories. Stories of fewer than 1,000 words are sometimes referred to as "short short stories", or "flash fiction".[3]

Pretty good story. It is short but I don't think that the length does a disservice to the story. It doesn't harp on things that have no impact on the story

The big boss took the villain script

The System cried,"I don't care…The male lead can't die. If he dies, the plane will collapse." "Then I can cripple him!" The System was speechless. Why did a host suddenly have a mouth? You think that the villain can do whatever he wants, but you're wrong. In fact, he can do whatever he wants more than you think! Lightning Avoidance: (1) Half-sand carving, quick-wearing text-illogical, everything serves the plot. (2) Light logic, heavy plot 3. The female protagonist does whatever she wants for herself and is not hindered by anyone. 4. The system has no name for the plot service.
