surely you are joking

Sadly, I can't tell you the author of this novel. It might be a self - published work or a book from a small press. If you can provide some more context, like the genre or any details about the plot, it would be easier to figure out who the author might be. Maybe you could also check with local book clubs or literary communities for more information.

I'm not sure as I haven't read this novel specifically. It could be about a particularly eventful or surreal night that the characters experience, perhaps filled with unexpected encounters, emotions, or revelations.

The origin lies in the religious context, specifically from the inspiration of Psalm 23. It was composed to bring the message of God's goodness and mercy to the congregation in a musical form.

The 'Surely Goodness and Mercy Story' is often related to themes of God's kindness and mercy in religious contexts. It might be a story that showcases how these qualities are manifested in the lives of people, perhaps through difficult times where they experience unexpected help or grace, like the way a person might be led through a tough situation by a force of goodness and mercy.

Sorry, I can't provide a specific example as I don't know which fandom this fanfic belongs to. It could be a Harry Potter fanfic where the characters play pranks on each other in a really exaggerated way, making it a 'joking matter' kind of story.

Here is one. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. This is a short and funny joke - like story.

Web novelists would add humor, irony, or exaggeration to the plot or characters to make the novel more interesting and readable. This kind of joking method could be a sudden inspiration or it could be deliberately used to entertain the readers. In web novels, the element of jokes was often used to shape the character's character, enhance the plot tension, and promote the development of the story. However, when making jokes, one also needed to pay attention to the scale and propriety. Don't use excessive humor or inappropriate language to avoid causing discomfort or disgust to the readers. Online novels could enhance the interest and legibility of novels, but they also needed to follow certain writing principles and etiquette.

The characters included the male lead, Heshen, who was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. Female supporting role-Feng Jiwen, female supporting role-Second Aunt, female supporting role-Wu Qinglian, female supporting role-Doukou. "Joking and Shen" by Yin Jing. It is a historical/Qing history and Republic of China novel. It has elements of time travel, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and the court. It has been completed and can be enjoyed without worry. User recommendation: He Shen this official, Qing Dynasty this field, is actually a feudal officialdom Jianghu. He Shen was such a high official, was it really as recorded in the history of the Qing Dynasty, that he was ordered by Jiaqing to hang himself in prison within ten days and half a month? A commoner rebelling wouldn't be convicted so quickly, right? They had to be tried. The speed at which corrupt officials were punished was inconceivable, hard to find, and unrealistic. A new ruler and a new world would not be like this. Even if He Shen died 10,000 times, it would not be a pity. It was even more important to have rules and procedures, to have reason and evidence, to convince people with reason, and to warn the world. Just take this book as unofficial history. It's not good to say too much. If you know the details, please carefully savor the fact that a joke is not necessarily a joke. Even if it is an adaptation, it is not necessarily a groundless subversive work. I hope you will like this book.

In the end, the schemes they played were only for the benefit of their own family. The reason why this book is the best in my heart is not because of the plot or the style of writing. Even the explosive points of the book weren't the most important. Most importantly, it was because of the protagonist's standpoint. He did not do it for himself, but for the people. "The Six Dynasties has nothing to do with it, it's only a private scheme." Teacher Jiang did not have any personal plans. He came here alone. All he wanted was to use his own thoughts to change the world and let the people of the world live a better life. At least, it would be better than the world without him.

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.
