Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste
Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

New Writers, Come On In
It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.
Recommend Highly Rated Novels About Brilliant Schemes, Setting Traps, and Breaking Out of Them
Looking for Urban Stories, Nothing Weird with Cultivation
Classic, Engaging, No Idiotic Characters, No System, No Showing Off. Anything Else Goes
I don't want that kind of simplistic, amateurish novel.
Looking for Books That Feel Especially Realistic
Close to real life.
Books with Advice You Can Use in Real Life
Not that kind of story. I mean something that's purely explanatory and analytical, or written exceptionally well, like "Capital".

Sigh, There Are No More Masterpieces in Modern Fiction... I Can't Get Into Anything, It's All So Cringey.
Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
Any Novels with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist Whose Schemes Interlock and Who Plans Everything from Behind the Scenes?
Masterpieces Rated 9.9 or Higher! At Least a 9.08!

The author is very intelligent and has a meticulous way of thinking; such talent is rare. The writing style is also quite good. Support!
Please update more often, like at least 10 chapters a day! 😳
A good book, concise and professional in all aspects, highly recommended. This is a great book. After reading it, there's no other book I can enjoy. Other books are just full of empty boasting. I'm urging for more updates!
This book is so well written, with each part tightly connected and the plot constantly reaching a climax. The author's imagination is truly boundless.
A great book! Although the author has already written several books, the writing style is still a bit immature. The overall story structure is good, and the updates are frequent. Young authors always bring big surprises! 🥰
After finishing "The Charlatan," I learned that Qin Yihun established the Mountain of Gods for the Human Emperor. After following "The Snake Wife," I learned that Yi Xian sacrificed himself for the common people. After following "The Fox Wife," I learned that Bu Yan opposed the Hongmeng Realm for the sake of the common people.
Finally, the villain's IQ didn't drop offline, that's so rare 😭
There aren't many authors who can write such detailed and richly plotted stories. Reading your book, you can never guess what will happen next—it's fantastic! Hopefully, this will generate more buzz and not fizzle out like some of my previous works.
I've only read about 70 chapters, so my insights may not be accurate. The following are my personal, albeit humble, opinions. Advantage The plot is fast-paced, the characters are well-developed and vivid, and the subject matter is fresh and unique. It's quite captivating at first glance, and the story is very engaging. Disadvantages (Don't argue, if you do, it's my problem :))
Having watched half of it, there are gains and losses. The details of setting up the game are not so simple, and there are many unexpected twists and turns. I hope to see more exciting games later on.
