The world setting is very detailed, I look forward to the follow-up development. Skipping the early plot and background introduction chapters, the early stage of farming is similar to the beginning of Robinson Crusoe, and the rhythm of a little business development shows the fantasy world written by the author to the maximum extent. Although the completeness and self-consistency of the setting are not as high as I expected, it is already considered to be top-notch in the field of online literature. Looking at the follow-up content, if you keep this rhythm and write the Tomato top ten, it is completely OK. Personally, I got a total score of about nine points, which is quite suitable for the current situation, but some people don't appreciate it and the score is relatively low. I originally wanted to give it a four, but considering this, I gave it a five. I hope I can contribute to the overall score. I'm really looking forward to its development.
A perfect farming style. The first few chapters may dissuade some people, but once you get over it, it will be fine. Pomodoro is the only farming style novel that I can read. There are so few people, but the writing is very good, the writing style is on the high side, and the tomatoes are excellent. Personally I thought the plot was slow. The intelligence is not so high that it is out of harmony, but it does not reduce intelligence. Personally, I think the plot and worldview can be considered top-notch on Tomato.
The setting has a relatively rigorous framework, and the characterization of the characters is also somewhat classic (in a good way). The plots are interlocking. It is recommended that newcomers read the first few chapters. The author's writing style is still very solid, and the distribution of language, action and psychological description is just right, making it comfortable to read. From top to bottom, the settings are complicated. To be honest, they are a bit too big. I have rarely seen such a large setting. When there are too many settings, it is not just a design concept, but also a logical connection between concepts, such as the movement of things themselves. In my opinion, the large setting has a certain understanding of the current world, including history, sociology, medicine, etc... All sophisticated designs cannot be divorced from reality, so the author's setting is more like a sketch of society, and the painting is quite good. It's just that I'm worried that the author may have forgotten some details in the complicated design, resulting in flaws somewhere. I also hope to see the author's writing on empires, social transformation, etc. All in all, a great book!
The story itself is okay, the various novel settings are interesting, and the prologue can be read. Maybe I watched a weird fairy so I didn't feel depressed. The main reason is that the protagonist keeps fainting and happens to be saved by other monsters too many times. In the early stage alone, it has happened four or five times. It is too frequent. Every time it is: Protagonist: Ah, I fell. The monster you are chasing: kill! Special situation: help kill monsters when you encounter them, but don't kill the protagonist. Or blocked by others It's okay if you come once in a while. After all, the protagonist always has good luck, but you do it too often. You are simply the King of Stun Resistance + the King of Life Resistance. Although there are related settings, the rhythm is still not good. I hope the author deliberately foreshadowed it, otherwise it will be really annoying. Armor stacking (I don't stack armor now, Rhythm Master trolls are about to take off, don't make any complaints): The quality is not bad, the settings are rich and interesting, the gold finger looks like unlocking the limiter, everyone has different poison points and poison resistance, different preferences, it is easy to become a diode, what you think is good is good, it is fine if you watch it, it is also his business if others think it is not good, control your own brain, don't be affected by the magnetic field like the protagonist [you taste it]
So far, no problems, smooth pacing, fantasy, and novelty. It's a bit too coincidental, but it seems reasonable. The description is very detailed, the description of the environment is immersive, the protagonist is richly portrayed, and the desperate running is very detailed, precise and tight. The overall story is great, but can I finish writing two chapters in one day?
The plot progresses very slowly. I listened to the book for 4 hours and listened to a section for half an hour without affecting my understanding of the plot. The traditional protagonist, Goldfinger, upgrades directly when encountering difficulties. Infinite good luck vs infinite disadvantage of the opponent. If the work you are chasing has not been updated, you can watch this time. There was a section in the middle that I really didn't listen to. There were some parts in it, such as the flood or where it came from. In my mind, there was no mention of starting the project during the operation period (I only said that I would do this, which is equivalent to creating a new file). It was completed immediately when there was a natural disaster later. It was a small bug or maybe I didn't hear it. Regarding the construction of spiritual civilization, it was a bit awkward to watch. It is not as entertaining as the theory of an Austrian failed art student or going straight to the red (the comments are definitely explosive, but you have to control it), but you want to build the ideal city of Datong. It's hard to make it entertaining. I've been beaten on the head and tortured in real life, so it's a bit uncomfortable to continue the torture in a book. But I can understand it. It seems that there was a system in the Mahayana period somewhere. I forgot the title of the book. The relaxed and entertaining atmosphere in it can be used as a reference. Although the subject matter may be different, that one is about the superstructure, while this one is about laying the foundation. This book is average. Worth a look, one star added Bored, feeling
The writing is really good. Although it is slow-paced, it is more traditional than traditional farming articles. It basically starts from scratch. It is not like those farming articles that start with villages, towns, etc., But I just hope the author will show a picture, otherwise everyone will be confused. Moreover, this book is quite logical, and there will be no battles. Power collapse, price collapse and other weird things, well, at least for now, and the world view is quite grand, and there are many categories. People who are impatient will find it difficult to read. Please don't fall into the trap. Those who are patient can read it carefully. Also, I hope the protagonist can do some tricks. The speed of promotion is a bit slow. Of course, it is not good to be too fast.
It is a masterpiece of business management, the author is of extremely high standard, and it is the fine chaff among tomato novels. Except for the first twenty chapters, which were a bit uncomfortable to read, the rest of the book was very good. Moreover, this book has a grand world view and the author's imagination is extremely rich. And there is no female protagonist in this book. The protagonist is not invincible, the protagonist will make mistakes, and the protagonist will fail. And everyone is written with flesh and blood, and I feel that the author's writing style comes from someone who doesn't know where it came from. Even though there are still fewer people watching it, I think this is a masterpiece. Highly recommended.
It's hard to believe that this is Tomato's work. The world view is grand, the pace is slow and fascinating, and according to the author, a lot has been deleted. If this book can be completed, it will definitely become an insurmountable milestone in Tomato.
The author cleverly combines the characteristics of Chinese and Japanese Western fantasy. He does not write about farming monotonously, but adds some battle plots to it, making the two fit together in a subtle way. In the plot, various ups and downs are arranged, making the plot full of twists and turns, but it does not make people feel boring. On the contrary, it is a new experience every time. It is such a compact plot that feels tired because it is too short and too short. Moreover, the huge world view is also something that I have to experience in this book. It has both the magic of Western fantasy and a fantasy cultivation system, and it also incorporates various contents that I cannot describe one by one. Please bear with my shallowness here, because this book is the most integrated and harmonious book I have ever read. Therefore, in order to make up for my little shallowness, I sincerely hope that you will take a look and then look back and be tolerant of my little shallowness. The prologue is also a highlight of this book, because you will hardly find such a plot later in the main text.
