20:"Who told him to cultivate!" Author: The Whitest Crow
The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" was a fantasy novel. The author, Ji Cha, used the oriental fantasy as the background and constructed a rigorous world. The storyline was very attractive, and the main character's ability and the setting of the cheat were very reasonable. The author's writing had always been good, and the dialogue, setting, and memes were all very interesting. This book vividly displayed the heroic spirit of a young man who had a knife in Beimang. The characters in the book were drawn in three-dimensional, without any facial features. There were many foreshadowing in the plot, which unfolded one by one. In short, this was a very exciting fantasy novel and was worth recommending.
2."Spiritual Walker":"Spiritual Walker" is a novel that makes people's eyes light up. It has no traces of a routine, and the style of writing is relaxed and not oppressive. The story was novel, and the plot of the Spirit Realm was full of ups and downs. It was a high-quality work that was deeply loved and praised by the majority of readers. I like this type of book very much. It gives people a feeling of being enlightened. There are no restrictions and it makes people feel very free. In terms of style, this book continued the humor of Da Feng The Nightwatchman, but at the same time, it added many new elements: suspense and speculation. Although there were some minor flaws in the battle section and other parts, they could not be overshadowed. Moreover, they had already been modified. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this book. Not only does it make people sigh with emotion, but it also has many foreshadowing that I'm looking forward to the rest of the book. It was not only a simple story in the form of a delivery cabinet, but it also had a hidden story framework that made people's eyes light up. In addition, the author also maintained a certain level of restraint when it came to the creation of the characters. Although it was a little hard to get a feel for, this was also the author's intention to make the work more realistic and deep. In general,"Spirit Walker" was a relatively successful commercial work. It not only provided unlimited space for sci-fi, but it was also a model for writing and story content. I highly recommend this book, it is worth reading.
3."The Tang's Table": This "The Tang's Table" is a novel with a novel approach. Although some of the settings are not rigorous enough, it is worth reading overall. If the plot and character setting could be more substantial, it would be an excellent novel. Although the pace of the book was slow, through reading and commenting, one could discover the exciting parts. For the patient readers, this was a novel worth a try. The various characters and events of the Great Tang described in the book made people feel as if they were in that era. The author cleverly integrated various elements into it, forming a mouth-watering delicacy. Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, the Tibetans, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, or the whales, tigers, sharks, or hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could produce peerless delicacies. In addition to the unique flavors of Li Zhi, Wu Wei, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, etc., readers could taste the delicacies and also appreciate the style of the Tang Dynasty. In short, Yun Chu hoped to have a seat of his own at such a luxurious banquet, and this book was one of the ways he could fulfill this wish. After reading this book, readers would definitely enjoy an unprecedented feast to satisfy their hungry stomachs.
4."King of Familiar": The King's Descent, Glory!
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
6."National Forensic Medicine":"National Forensic Medicine" is an amazing novel. The author uses his professional perspective and unique way of description to make the seemingly unpopular profession of forensic medicine vivid and interesting. Compared to the author's previous work, Doctor Ling Ran, National Forensic Medicine portrayed the protagonist's personality and his interactions in the police station more realistically, making the interactions between the characters more lively and interesting. The author's description of skills and strength was also impressive, allowing people to feel the joy of being a professional while reading. Even though National Forensics 'update speed was slow, it didn't affect readers' love for it. Overall, this was an unforgettable novel that gave people a new understanding of modern detective novels.
7."Wait, Heroine":"Wait, Heroine" was a delightful wuxia novel that continued the author's style of Guan Guan. In the story, there were many identities such as the empress's favorite minister, the leader of the rebels, and the young master of a famous family. It was fascinating. The author wrote the story with a smooth writing style, making the story exciting and exciting. This book was not only a novel, but also a spiritual inspiration. It extended from the book to life, emotions, psychology, society, history, and many other aspects, making people think about the meaning of life. The author's writing level was stable. Although the story was common, after the author's interpretation, it became very exciting. In addition, the author's description of the female characters 'appearance and personality was also very good, making the readers have a strong interest in them. In short, this book was a work of guaranteed quality and was worth reading.
8."Mantang Colorful Scenery"(85, Excellent)
Before the Rebellion of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty
Cousin's new work
I believe that friends who like history will not miss it.
9."Hidden Dead Corner": God, get lost. There's no need to say more.
Although he was a rotten dog, it was undeniable that he still had the power of a God in the early stages. Rollie had used a power similar to the Saint Seiya armor at the beginning of the game. She was so scared that she thought that he would write about mecha at the beginning of the game. However, the style of writing was not bad. He returned to the supernatural horror style that he was best at. He was quite good at writing scary and strange things. This book was similar to his Nightmare Summoning. It had a supernatural feeling and the details were not bad.
[Evaluation: In the early stages, it looks like grain.]
Final Divine Duty: Get Out of the Way
I heard that it's the avatar of an author who logged into the future ten thousand years ago. Gao Wu's book is pretty good and pretty cool. It's just that he pulled it after he left the planet. This one seems to be doing well at the moment, so I guess it's considered fodder.
11."Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" is a new work of great quality that is definitely worth reading. The author used the unique writing technique of the ear to create the plot and characters of the fantasy novel to be vivid and lifelike, making people feel like they were in the same place. The main character was a handsome man with an IQ that was on the line. He did not have the cliché of a little white text, allowing the readers to get a new experience in the reading process. The plot was compact, and the quality of the updates was guaranteed. It was already very rich. The author, Er Gen, had always had a high level of creativity. His previous works,"The Rebel Immortal,""Seeking the Devil,""I Want to Seal the Heavens,""One Thought for Eternity," and "Three Inches of Humanity" were all outstanding novels. 'Beyond Time' continued his style and was a good book worth recommending. At the same time, the theme of the book also gave people a deep thought. It allowed the readers to extend from the story to life, emotions, psychology, society, history, and other aspects, triggering the readers 'thoughts. In general, Beyond Time is a high-quality fantasy novel. Friends who have not read it can read it without worry. Beyond time, only I am eternal!
"This Game Is Too Real": Moving bricks, running errands, picking up trash, delivering packages…The company can at most let you experience the hardships of 996, but here you can experience the super double 007.
Alright, let's cut the crap. The great manager has called me to move bricks.
That lord said that as long as we work hard and offer our livers, he will be able to get a brand new set of power armor next month. Then, he will bring us to a brand new map and pick up more trash in the vast wasteland!
13."Red Heart Sky Patrol": This is the first book to be promoted!
I really, really, really love this book.
The author didn't originally write online novels, but physical books.
In short, the writing style was excellent! Extremely logical! In the early stages, if it didn't make sense or some small details were foreshadowing, a reasonable explanation would be given. The reader had to read patiently. It was best to turn off the chapter and read it seriously to avoid being spoilt. Wouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment if the clues and guesses that he had dug out were verified one by one in the later chapters?
If there are people like me who can't dig into the details easily, they can also read the plot and the description to understand the love and hate entanglements of the characters.
The author of this book had a strong foundation in writing. From the choice of words and sentences to the connection of the plot, it was amazing.
The entanglement of the characters makes it even more difficult for me to describe.
Destroy a region for a country, okay? Is it possible to feed the people to wild animals for a country?
…
Whether it was love, love, or hatred, they were all vivid.
The main character, Jiang Wang, made me love him even more deeply. He was just a teenager who fought to open his meridians, to survive for his family, and to suffer for the hatred of his hometown.
However, a seventeen-year-old boy had left his hometown, which had already become hell, behind his sister's back. His hair had turned white, and his hometown had been destroyed. His friends and family had been separated, and his lifespan had been reduced.
The burden on his shoulders was too heavy, his sense of responsibility was too strong, his friends were too few, his enemies were too strong, and he was too persistent. He was a gentleman, a talented swordsman, An 'an's only family member, and a teenager who was only 19 years old.
Recently, the plot had been reversed, reversed, and reversed again and again. It was a reversal of survival in a desperate situation.
I really like this book. The author's talent and love for his own books are unbearable.
If you can, please come and read this book, the world in this book!
The writing style is limited, and the good books are difficult to describe, but only one or two tenths.
Ring of Destiny: Ring of Destiny is an incredible work. Squid's second novel continued his usual style and left a deep impression. The main character of the story, Lee, was a provocative person with good looks. He worked hard to survive Chapter 209, but at the same time, he faced an eternal reincarnation and a destined fate. The relationship between dreams and reality was puzzling, and the Ring of Destiny seemed to be an endless cycle, but it finally ushered in its end. The Lord of the Mysteries is my favorite. Every time it updates, I will watch it in time. I don't skip chapters and sentences, and I carefully savor every word. Looking forward to the return of the squid king. The new book had just been released and had not even updated a single chapter, but it had already received the support of the Hundred Alliances. The monthly votes had also reached more than 7,000. This made people full of anticipation for this book. Overall, Ring of Destiny was a good book that made people unable to extricate themselves. It was definitely worth reading.
15:"The Great Ming State Preceptor": Ranking Index:️️️️
Mr. Jiang, I am Zhu Di. Please be the state preceptor!
After listening to the lecture in the prison at the beginning, Zhu Di called me an expert and even wanted me to be the national teacher!
"Ascending on the Right Day": Immortal Grass Sprout
Otaku Pig's new book had a good response. The platinum author's character was guaranteed. Just put on the shelf, can be raised, can catch up with the change. His style was humorous and his worldview was solid.
17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Being Reborn": Reborn in the City, College Student's Business, Emotional Threads, No Plug-ins ~
9.1~ Continuing ~ Current Food and Grass +
"Deep Sea Ember" Keyword: Gravitational, Steampunk, Nautical
[Description: The protagonist transmigrated to a ghost ship called the Lost Home and became the captain of the ghost ship with mysterious powers. He came to a world that had been destroyed and was covered by the ocean and began an adventure.]
[Strengths: Big Eyeball's works are still the same as usual. The world setting is grand and full of suspense. Through the protagonist's exploration experience, the world structure, from the ocean to the city-state, from reality to the spirit world, is gradually revealed. It's very exciting.]
[Rating (based on personal taste)]:
★★★★☆
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!" Promotion:
No female lead, three views are correct, IQ is online, easy to make fun of, brainstorming and refreshing.
The main character's brain was always so beautiful and unconventional. It gave people the feeling that it could be like this, but there was something wrong with it. It was a very funny positive energy main character. Of course, an author who could solve three problems was also outstanding. The immortal cultivation setting seemed to follow the usual cognition and was easy to watch, but in many settings, the imagination was wide open.
PS: The author's three views are hilarious and invincible. The style is similar. If you like one, you can watch the other.
You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
It's a bit of both. There are some historical facts and research involved, but also a lot of speculation. Some evidence seems promising, like the discovery of certain artifacts, but it's hard to say for sure if all the claims are true.
One of the main mysteries is the so - called Money Pit. It's a deep hole on Oak Island where people have found strange objects over the years. There are also rumors of hidden treasures like pirate gold or valuable historical artifacts. Some believe that there may be ancient tunnels and chambers beneath the island, which add to the enigma.
The reality of the Oak Island story is difficult to determine. Some of the events and discoveries seem plausible, but there are also elements that could be exaggerated or fabricated. It's a complex mix that keeps people guessing.
Sure is! The story of Oak Island has captured the imaginations of many. It involves real efforts to discover hidden treasures and solve age-old puzzles.
I think Oak Island is somewhere in between fact and fiction. There are elements that have been verified, but much of it remains shrouded in mystery and could potentially be exaggerated or fictionalized for entertainment purposes.
Oak Island is a mix of both fact and fictional elements. Some parts are based on real events and historical research, but there's also a lot of speculation and fictionalized theories added for entertainment.
