The main character also had the style of the big demon in the story. The rhythm was also controlled quite well. There was no feeling of events coming one after another.(I'm getting tired of reading this type of novel. It feels like the character of Detective Conan. Wherever the main character is, something will happen.) Moreover, this book doesn't have many logical bugs. It's suitable for people like me who are reasonable. It's too difficult to find a cool novel that can justify itself. Most of the cool novels nowadays have too many cheats. What's the point of this violent and cool novel? Moreover, many cheats exist completely outside the story. They can't explain the principle of the cheats based on the world view in the story at all. Wasn't this very abrupt? A story had to have a certain level of logic to be good. A good story was like role-playing. When the reader was brought into the novel's character, the fewer logical bugs there were, the less the reader would jump out of the story. A good story had to be reasonable to be good. 8:"Liao Zhai Zhi Lian Shen": Liao Zhai Wen, this type of novel is still relatively niche. This is not bad. Friends who like Liao Zhai should not miss it.

Transform your heart, lungs, liver, kidney, spleen and gallbladder, and let the six gods have a master. …… After searching for immortals for a thousand years, looking back, all the immortals and buddhas in the sky seemed to have been enlightened by me. 10:"The Great Heavenly Master of Liaozhai": What's the difference between killing Xuanwu father and son and evil spirits? Moral kidnapping! Unfair procedure, double standard! 11:"Starting from Liaozhai to be a fox fairy": keywords: Liaozhai demons, monsters, gods, ghosts, fox demons, daily life, Hongchen Xian layout To be honest, I was shocked. Everyday life is like a Japanese drama, such as the description of various demons and occasional daily life, which reminds me of Natsume's Friend's Book, Totoro, and the Hundred-change Civet. The leveling and background system felt like a story from a Chinese story studio or a Xianxia story. The story time was closely linked, from helping a friend solve a small problem to leading to all kinds of evil and chaotic things. Then, these things revealed the storm that was about to come! It felt like a story! Then, he especially liked the characters in it, the Tsundere Toad (the book friends jokingly called it the Wandering Toad or the Traveling Frog), the innocent and upright Wang Xiang, and of course, the cunning, clever, good-looking protagonist who did righteous things (said to be the representative of transmigrators)! Actually, there were many cute monsters. Who wouldn't want to have a night of ghosts? It was a book that he liked very much! In the fast-paced pile of books, there was one such book that was really awesome! You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.

Few people visit." "Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by." 3."The Tang's Table":"The Tang's Table" is a novel with a novel set. Although some of the settings are not rigorous enough, it is still worth reading. If the plot and character were more substantial, it would become an excellent novel. The author used the dishes on the dining table of the Great Tang as the background to show the unpredictable changes of the world. Through various cooking methods, he turned Goguryeo, Turks, Tubo, and other countries, as well as whales, tigers, and other animals, into delicacies.

The author, Shiniao Village, used his deep writing skills and industry knowledge to skillfully integrate professional knowledge into the novel, allowing the readers to feel the illusion of becoming an expert in the light and interesting text. The author's writing style was to make the social background of the novel rational through subtle settings, so as to focus on the description of industry knowledge, using a relaxed writing style to dilute the heaviness of the industry's reality. At the same time, the plot progressed slowly, mixed with a lot of descriptions of the environment or behavior. Behind the seemingly empty words, there was actually a lot of ridicule and innuendo. Therefore, I advise the reader not to skip through, but to carefully savor each paragraph, because this may miss the essence. In addition, there were still some parts of the book that he did not understand. He could seek answers through this chapter. In general, National Forensic Medicine was a highly recommended book. It focused on forensic science and combined medical knowledge with solving cases. It was very refreshing. Moreover, the author's previous book, the Divine Text Doctor Ling, was also very good. The main character was very well portrayed. Overall, National Forensics was a very solid book. It was a good choice for both food and entertainment. 7:"Heroine, Wait": Rating: "Fantasy, Genius, Daily Life, Many Female Lead" [Status: Series (Last post: 550,000)] [What would you do if both the underworld and the underworld needed you?] Wasn't it good for the Night Terror Hall to have a foot in three boats?

The author used a relaxed style and combat setting to combine the three elements of martial arts and artificial bodies, bringing a new reading experience to the readers. The writing style of this book was smooth, and the author's writing level was obviously not at the level of a newcomer. The setting of the world view was very good. There were various concepts and factions, and the timing of the introduction was just right. There was no feeling of changing the map rigidly. The main character was decisive and left a deep impression on everyone. Overall, this was a pretty good Deep Blue genre novel. I recommend it to readers who like sci-fi and ancient martial arts mecha. 11:"Beyond Time": Er Da's new book. I've finished reading the first four chapters of the book. It's amazing.

For a long time, all kinds of websites were looking for similar books. I didn't know if Big Eyeball had heard my thoughts. In general, Big Eye's books were quite interesting at the beginning.
