Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a very good fantasy novel. It is definitely not to be missed by readers who like fantasy novels. The author's writing style was excellent, the plot was also very exciting, and the creative setting was also very innovative. The supporting characters were also very lively and interesting, leaving a deep impression on people. The Almighty's work could be said to have written the Jianghu in the hearts of some people. Even though the later stages of the game inevitably moved toward the middle and high martial arts path due to the background setting and plot development, the first and middle stages were still dominated by Jianghu and Wuxia styles. On the whole, the book brought joy and pleasure to the readers, and occasionally (often) brought some happy elements to the readers. The protagonist was controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes and led to a martial arts world with broken pieces of the secret realm. He rode a horse in the martial arts world and rebuilt the country. For the sake of some female confidantes, he also discovered the secrets of the past. In this world, every movement in the martial world, the emergence of newcomers, and the evolution of prodigies would be broadcasted in the sky in real time. This was the Book of Chaos.

In general, this book was more relaxing and enjoyable than the previous two books. It seemed to be alright. 2."Spirit Realm Walker": The newspaper seller wrote about his sister, great-grandmother, and sister. Now, he finally made his move on his sister-in-law. The style of the new book is the same as always. The opening and deciphering routine is tried and tested. Anyway, I'm quite excited. In addition, the comments of the idiotic readers were the essence. 3."The Tang's Table": 86 points licorice It was obvious that Brother Two was a loyal believer of Jack London. His novels always had small animals, and the style of writing was more like Ancient Dragon. It focused on depicting human nature, but it was more old-fashioned than Ancient Dragon. In fact, Ancient Dragon was also a believer of Jack London. If Yue Guan was Jin Yong, it would be very difficult to surpass Yue Guan in history. The only way to change was to change the style of writing. Brother 2 was right to choose Gu Longfeng. To look at history and interpret history from the perspective of human nature, not to look at human nature and interpret human nature from the historical environment. After all, history repeated itself, but human nature had never changed! [King of Familiars] The Almighty Clear Spring Stream did not choose a new category. It was still a new book on beast taming. He continued to delve into the direction of beast taming, hoping that there would be more new things! 5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation":[Strong Promotion] I haven't seen such a good book in a long time. I'm Tian Yan's Pi! I can also do big ice dunes ~ 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."Wait, Heroine":"Wait, Heroine" was a martial arts novel. The plot was compact and fascinating. The author's description of the martial world and the temple was very exciting, giving people a feeling of being there. Especially the description of the fighting scenes, it made people feel the taste of Wuxia, which was very attractive. At the same time, the author's creation of the female character's image was also very outstanding, leaving a deep impression on people. Although the description of the temple was relatively weak, it did not affect the overall reading experience. Overall, this book was a highly recommended work. Both the plot and the writing style were excellent. The recommendation index was five stars. 8:"Mantang Colorful": recommendation index: ****** Author: Weird Cousin Word Count: 240,000 [Status: Series] Tagged: Tang Dynasty, Machiavellian, Group Statues In the fifth year of Tianbao, he woke up from a dream. In front of him was a beautiful painting of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He saw the bright light of "Tang Dynasty, Heaven and All Nations". Iron cavalry crisscrossed, and all nations came to worship. Civil and martial arts were governed, and ministers bowed. Poetry and wine were romantic, and it was a paradise on earth. Beautiful people and scholars sang and laughed.

He vowed to make sure that the Tang Dynasty would not fall into danger. The new book by the author of "The End of Song" still started with Wang Zha.

How would he survive in this struggle and face the upcoming An Lushan Rebellion? Personal evaluation of the divine herb! 9:"Hidden Dead Corner": Actually, there's no need to recommend it anymore. Anyway, Rollie's book is the type that those who love to read it will chase after it, and those who don't read it won't be able to continue reading it. After so many books, the bad habit of the late plot going berserk hasn't changed at all, but the early stages are really good. The ability of the interesting imagination hasn't declined either. So I put him up because I finally couldn't help but pull out the seedling and think it looked really good. Damn it, why did I have to look at it so early? In my heart, the most beautiful place for Rollie was the Magus World. She really liked the atmosphere that she created. "The Final Divine Order":"The Final Divine Order" was a sci-fi fantasy novel. The author used the modern world as the setting. By describing the protagonist's story of starting from learning martial arts and gradually stepping into the supernatural, it showed a world full of unknown life and technological power. The story was fast paced, the leveling process was smooth and reasonable, and the character creation was naturally not exaggerated. The author's description of the world was clearly layered, and the plot development was also in line with the development logic. The style was neat and the writing was good. Although some readers thought that the plot development was unpredictable, this was also the unique part of the author's intention to hide the main plot in his daily life. In addition, the female character in the book tampered with the data and suppressed the protagonist, making some readers feel uncomfortable and need to be mentally prepared. Overall,"The Final Divine Order" was an excellent sci-fi fantasy novel. Although some readers might be disappointed, those who were interested in "Global Martial Arts" and "Heavenly King of the Foreign Body" would find this book very worth collecting. 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. The difference between life and death was like the difference between dreams and waking up. It was ever-changing and could not be questioned.

If you're tired of reading the routine, you can read this book. It's written in a traditional way. The style is very good. It was the author's first time writing an online novel, so the plot was not perfect. It was very realistic.
