Pretty boys, please give me a five-star review [shy][shy][shy] This article focuses on slow-paced testimonials. The view of the world will slowly evolve with the time when the spiritual energy is exhausted. If you like it, give it a five-star review. If you don't like it, please be merciful. [Send your heart]
This longevity novel gave me the feeling of being casual, unscrupulous and loyal, just like a real spectator, but with flesh and blood, and the author's writing style is very good. The protagonist should not be said to be aggrieved. What I saw in this book is a real person, an ideal state, returning to nature and integrating into the world. I hope the author keeps writing and maintains this status. After hundreds of pictures, this book will definitely be rated 9.5! ! ! This is one of the few good books I have found on Tomato!
The author's writing style is very good. The article is as touching as spring water. The characters are full but not powerful enough. Overall, this is a very good book. In my mind, it should be a good book with a score of 9.5 Or above (Wonderful Tomatoes' scoring standard). I hope the author will continue to work hard and tell the best story in your heart [Blow kiss] Also, it's too short [laughing]
It's so well written, because I live in a hotel, and every time I come back to read this book, I can clearly feel the intertwining flavor of rivers, lakes, and immortals. I can't explain it clearly, but I can feel it. This kind of feeling is difficult to write about. The author is really great, and the characters are very distinct. The protagonist's casualness is just like what the article says, "he is there." The same goes for other characters, such as the boss lady, the beautiful girl, Mu Qin who seeks enlightenment, etc. Really good.
Yes, the writing is good and the plot is down-to-earth. It is down-to-earthness that makes it unlike other cultivation novels that are lofty and different from the celestial beings. It is the various things in this mortal world that can resonate more with our hearts. I am really experiencing the changes of the times. As a person with a special physique who can go against the times, there is no cliché hip-hop or stereotype. It is really good to witness this era of annihilation of souls from the perspective of a bystander.
A rare good book by Tomato, a clear stream in the stream of immortality
The Tomato book is seriously underestimated. The quality of this book is quite impressive at the starting point. It is even said that the results at the starting point will be better than here. The author knows how to tell stories, not the kind of formulaic and entertaining novels that leave your mind empty and nothing can be left behind after the enjoyment is over. The plot and characters depicted are profound and vivid. In the past few years, there has been a trend of cultivating immortals. To be honest, I am really annoyed by the so-called Cthulhus who follow the trend without thinking. The only thing they have is tentacle sarcoma and rotten flesh eyeballs. They are seeking novelties for the sake of curiosity. They put a fleshy and twisted shell on the immortals and become the so-called Chinese Cthulhu. There is a plot about "eternal illness" in this book, which really captures the feeling of absurdity, madness, and sadness. No matter how bizarre the line drawings are, they are just empty, but the ability to show the twisted souls from the characters' words shows the author's writing skills. Of course, taking Changsheng as an example is just something I feel deeply about. The related elements are important in this work but do not occupy a large space. What really runs through the whole text is the protagonist, the immortal,'s unrestrained, warm, leisurely, regretful, and extremely profound loneliness in the long history. The last book that gave me a similar feeling was the starting point "I Am God". In comparison, that one was more epic, while this one is more pyrotechnic. Of course, an excellent work is never a one-man show with the protagonist. The countless supporting characters in it are all well written, ranging from the charming widow who is a philistine to the leader of the Taoist sect who overturned an entire world. Everyone is a living person, not a face with labels on it.
In the first half of reading, I felt full of interest, and my eyes were refreshed, and the vulgarity was swept away. There is no inexplicable passion for being strong and aggressive in the fairy tale, and there is no cliche cliche in the martial arts. The protagonist has a true temperament, and there is no deliberately artificial or imposed noble sentiments and ambitions. The main line of the book is mixed with some short stories. Not only does it lack the number of words, but the thickness of the story adds an indescribable charm, which invisibly deepens the image of the protagonist. It is also relaxed and relaxed, making it interesting to read quickly or slowly, and you will not be confused by missing a few words. In the middle half of the book, the protagonist has already matured, and then slowly enters Xu Tu, unveiling the curtain of this vast world, which is full of excitement. The experiences along the way gradually change Li Changxiao's stance, attitude and mind, and he becomes unrestrained and responsible. At the end of the book, the seemingly insignificant mysteries in the previous article, which Li Changxiao did not delve into, are connected into a complete story network. The descriptions in the text are rich and delicate, and there are many admirable and pitiable characters. The characters are vivid and vivid, leaving some blank space. The acquaintance, companionship and departure of many people with the protagonist cannot help but be touching. This kind of imperfection can only show the success of the creation.
It's very good. It describes the carefreeness in my heart. The slow pace is also in line with the carefree and happy life. This is better than some novels. Moreover, after reading too much fast pace, it is more comfortable to read the slow pace. Moreover, the protagonist of this book does not shout and kill so much. This is much better than the system novels I have read before.
He is born of fire, the most contradictory person, cool but not free and easy, affectionate but indifferent. It seems that the world is free and carefree. The sky cannot be restrained and the earth cannot be restrained. Everyone who sees it is admired and envied. Then suddenly he looked back. But I'm just alone, in the middle of nowhere. Natural and unrestrained, it is natural and unrestrained, but it is only half true, half false, half pretending, and half stupid.
