I Have A City In An Alternate World

Tang Zhen transmigrated to an apocalyptic world, where humans struggled to survive in various buildings that they built because the ground was covered in lethal dangers that were invisible to the naked eye. Tang Zhen transmigrated along with his mutated cell phone that was packed with miraculous applications. There were all kinds of cities – some could fly in the sky, some could submerge into the ocean while some could become invisible – and shocking secrets were hidden within them. 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.

I Have A Cultivation World

After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect on Planet Earth, all of the leyline spiritual energy was controlled by the country. They only released enough spiritual energy for the cultivators to breathe. If a cultivator wanted to use the spiritual energy to train themselves, they would have to pay the immortal sect for that. Chen Mobai was a senior high school student at the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect. He was studying for his entrance exam at the colleges of the immortal sect. His biggest dream was to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm until he was transmigrated to a cultivation world. “There’s no one here despite how dense the spiritual energy is?” “Wait! Isn’t this the legendary spiritual herb? Are these not extinct here?” “Huh? Is this the method to extract one’s Spiritual Root? Also, isn’t this a divine technique?” “What a powerful cultivator! Please accept me as your disciple!” As his life in the cultivation world continued, his dream changed.

I Only Love You In The Whole Wide World

Four years. That’s how long he took to transform from being a penniless young man to becoming the heir of a mysterious conglomerate. His return was a glorious event! Four years. That was the time she took to fall from being a rich heiress to an insignificant script writer in the entertainment industry. And she could even end up in jail! “Evelyn Sherman, if only you had loved me a little more than money then, you wouldn’t have to beg me now.” The man jeers coldly. Evelyn Sherman smiles cunningly. She pushes a little bun into his arms. The little bun hugs him and even gives him a big kiss, “President, do you want to buy my mommy? She can pretend to be a teenager or act like a queen. She can do both young, refreshing roles and the hard core stuff equally well. She’s a professional genius at giving birth. You can bring her home for US$10 million!” Chester Yale stares at the little face that looks exactly like his in a shock. He clenches his teeth and said, “Deal! I will add on another $10 million to buy you too!” In the next second, a little princess pokes her head out from behind the door, “Daddy, you’ll need another $10 million for me.”

The world building is shallow, the character development is non-existent and the system function is unclear. Not worth the time

What a letdown of a story. There is nothinh carefree here other than the authors effort in writing such a trash story. Shallow characters, shallow plot and world building. Nothing is important in this story, nothing sucks you into the world. Typical acacia trash novel with power levels, constant powercreep, beauties and an arrogant MC. Skip.

Okay world building and story development, but the characters are extremely shallow, and the writing... typos, missing punctuation, just... bad writing. Even the 'edited' chapters are pretty bad. Overall, if you are fine with shallow characters and lesser than MTL-level writing, then sure, enjoy.

Whoever in the reviews was saying this story is shallow, or it’s terrible, I believed them and only read it to pass time, but as i’ve got 700+ chapters deep, the novel is far from shallow. It has good world building and also the plot line is quite good.

What is a rhythmic jungler?

The desire to win did not fall from the blue clouds! (S10 competition schedule, please don't take the timeline seriously.) In addition, even though he used real characters, there would be differences in every aspect. Otherwise, it would become a documentary and lose the fun of the novel itself.

After the blackening, the heaven-defying big shot is actually myself

[Cookie abuse + improper cultivation] Soft and cute, strong and strong, princess × gentle and affectionate, lord After a few lifetimes, the young princess of Nanling expressed that the person involved was very regretful. There were three specific reasons. One, the beauty who was picked up by the roadside was not allowed to acknowledge her brother. Please hug her directly and not let go, and call her "husband"! (There must be a predestined fate in the previous life, so we can meet in this life) Second, I don't want a free elder brother. My elder brother controls the wrong person and destroys the entire family. If I can start over, I will stay away from crazy criticism and become independent! (A gentleman like an orchid is just a facade. A black-bellied bigot will take your life to accompany him.) Third, to hell with his special fate, he should bear a heavy responsibility. Whoever wants this blessing can have it. This princess only wants to live a small life and live with the person she loves. (It is said that the shortcut to him is to open the door directly.) The young princess sighed deeply. Alas, it was a pity that there were no ifs. She patted the wolf cub in her arms and felt that she could still try to remedy the situation. Let's start with…our reunion after parting.
