Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times": Ji Cha's book, anyone who understands it will understand o(*^▽^*)o 2."Spirit Realm Traveler": The style of the newspaper seller is very obvious. After all, you can learn a lot of idioms from books. After reading his book, I can no longer look directly at the traditional culture of my country. Other than updating it a little, it's a little bit sloppy, and there are a lot of typos, there's nothing wrong with it. 3."The Tang's Table": -[Excellent Series-]--Top 2500 likes next time! This was the new masterpiece of the great historical god, Jie Yu 2. This time, the author had returned to the Great Tang, and this time, the author wanted to write about a different Great Tang. Jie and 2 said in the foreword of "I'm Not a Savage" that they wanted to let go of themselves and write a book that they liked the most, but that book ended up failing due to various reasons. Jie and 2 placed his dream in the Tang Empire that he was familiar with and wrote what he wanted to express in this book. As the strongest historical writer in Qidian, just by looking at the first few chapters, one could tell that this book was of a high standard. Whether it was the standard of wording or the accuracy of history, it was much better than most historical writers. Moreover, the author had written about the customs and circumstances of the nomadic people at that time, allowing the readers to follow his description and return to the most authentic ancient nomadic people. The protagonist of this book did not have a cheat. At most, he could only rely on his modern knowledge and schemes to scheme against the enemy. Interestingly enough, the book was called "The Great Tang's Table", so it naturally had a lot of descriptions of delicacies. The third chapter had a detailed description of delicacies, from how to process the ingredients to how to roast them, to the description of the ingredients after roasting. It could be said to be meticulous. It could even be said to the point where it made people drool. Overall, there was nothing wrong with the book so far. The writing was excellent, and the rhythm was well controlled. The main character's character was a little over-the-top, but it was not a big problem. The plot development was also done with a certain degree of relaxation, and the details were handled well. Most importantly, it achieved a high degree of realism. It's a very good book. I recommend it. [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": The title of the book is rubbish. The plot is well written. The protagonist transmigrated to become the third son of the villain. At the beginning, he was kidnapped by the "ice woman". In order to cover up the after-effects of possession, he brought his sister to jump off a cliff to obtain the cultivation method from the opportunity point in his memory and become an innate Dao body. Then he returned to the capital (temporarily stopped here) and transmigrated to meet a beautiful woman. He jumped off a cliff to snatch the treasure. The routine is old-fashioned but the writing is not bad. 4-star expectation️️️️ 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 very interesting book. The character of the heroine was very distinct. She did not want to pay attention to others at all and even rolled her eyes at them. This unique personality left a deep impression on everyone. The storyline was also very attractive, and after reading a few chapters, people couldn't help but want to continue reading. The author's writing was excellent. Whether it was the setting or the fighting scenes, they were all very vivid. This book could be said to be a pure male fantasy novel. The readers did not need to have too many requirements in other aspects, as long as they were happy. In addition, the author was also one of the newly appointed Twelve Heavenly Kings in 2022. His work, The Prince Is Fierce, The Fairy Is Fierce, was also very outstanding. All in all,"Wait, Heroine" was a highly recommended book. 8:"Mantang Colorful Colors":[Tang] In the fifth year of Tianbao, Kaiyuan flourished. This was a year when the Great Tang's strength had reached its peak, when its soldiers were strong, and when its people were strong. Able ministers, capable officials, famous generals, strong soldiers, endless use of them; There is a lot of food and grass, and the language is beautiful and beautiful. However, as a transmigrator, Xue Bai had always been worried. The civil and military officials of the court were fighting for power and wealth, and they were extremely extravagant. The An Lushan Rebellion was right before their eyes. Xue Bai knew that he had to do something. [Status of the work: 47,000 words. In progress.] The author was one of the twelve heavenly kings of the 2020 online role model writers, Weird Cousin. His representative works include "The End of Song" 9:"Hidden Dead Corner": Ps: Get lost and start a new book This was the experience of an ordinary person who had obtained a special ability and slowly evolved in a blind spot to reach the extreme. 10."The Final Clergy":"The Final Clergy" was a novel that made people unable to stop. The story progressed layer by layer, and the rhythm was well controlled. The author used wonderful descriptions and detailed plots to show the intense collision between the cosmic mecha and the abyssal demons. The protagonist, Lu Yuan, had an attribute panel that allowed him to change his class indefinitely. In this era where new and old techniques, technology, and divine power collided, he kept advancing and finally became the Divine Title of the Dark Dragon Sect. The author's writing style was unique, making people want to follow Lu Yuan to explore this unknown world. Overall, The Final Divine Order was an intoxicating novel. Whether it was from the content of the book or from the life outside the book, emotions, psychology, society, and history, one could get inspiration and enlightenment. "Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" was a Xianxia classic. The author, Er Gen, showed his unique talent when writing this work. The plot of this novel was compact and fascinating, making people want to finish reading it in one go. The main character was decisive, not a saint, not a set of tricks. He had broken away from the comical route of the previous works. There was a hint of the shadow of the rebellious immortal and the devil, which reminded people of the works before Er Gen's. This novel was not only a Xianxia novel, but also a work that made people think deeply. It makes us think about the difference between life and death, about the possibility of transcending life and death, and about what we are waiting for outside of time. This is a work that is worth reading. I strongly recommend it to everyone. This Game Is Too Realistic: Xing 'er's New Book ~ Return to the wasteland, play behind the scenes, walk the group, the fourth natural disaster ravages the wasteland (actually moving bricks and picking up trash)~ F * ck, why is my cameo a female bear… [8 stars!] 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol": I accidentally flipped through a book.

Deep Sea Ember: Unknown My heart is in the Xyrin World, so my last big eyeballs are in the new book town building! -- Motherf * cker! 19."Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" is an unforgettable novel. With his unique creativity and superb writing skills, the author, plagiarist, successfully created a character who attacked the foreign world. The main character of the story, Fang Xi, transmigrated to a cultivation world full of monsters and martial artists and began his wonderful adventure. The author cleverly combined the rules of the cultivation world with the heavy blows of the foreign world, bringing a refreshing reading experience to the readers. The plot was compact, the characters were vivid, and it was fascinating. The plagiarist's writing style was unique, full of imagination and creativity. Whether it was from the content of the book, or from the perspective of life, emotions, psychology, society, and history, this book gave people inspiration and thought. I strongly recommend 'Cultivating in the Demonic Martial World' and give it a four-star recommendation index. "Who told him to cultivate!" Who told him to cultivate? Author: The Whitest Crow [Temporarily Set: Food and fodder] [Anticipation: 3.5 - 4 stars] 1. The new works of the authors of the Dacheng period were still in a serious and amusing style. 2. The cultivation system was still the same as before, but from the progress of the character from mortal to foundation establishment in two chapters, you could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary leveling immortal cultivation text. 3. Perhaps because of the outline, the opening chapter was much smoother than the previous one. In addition to the high-quality storyline as usual (the entrance test of the River Spirit and the examiner, the nonsensical teaching of Big Sister, the elements of solving the case of the Painted Ghost, etc.), the overall reading experience was very comfortable and interesting. 4. The background of the Otherworld was also more creative. Whether it was the related settings of the Chamber of Commerce (and even insurance), the various facilities and missions in Dao Seeking Sect, or the various vivid demons and ghosts, they all greatly enriched the details of this cultivation world. <strong></strong> In this era of chaos, the Great Era was about to descend. It was highly recommended for those who had watched the previous game and felt that it was not enough. If you haven't seen the previous game, but want to see something light and interesting, it's also recommended to try it out. The reasonable party or the readers who only wanted to read the traditional upgraded cultivation novels should be cautious. [Picture] You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
