I feel similar to me. On the surface, I am lazy and easy-going, and I mingle with everyone, but in fact, I can take one step at a time, and my thinking is far more thoughtful than my peers. I have never lacked thunderous methods and a Bodhisattva heart. I have Buddhas and demons in my heart, but I have sealed the demons deeply, and only Buddha is left. I originally wanted to face everyone with a Bodhisattva heart, but some people insist that I unseal the demons in my heart. Then I want to ask you, When you face a real demon appearing in this world, can you still stay calm?
It is a very well-written book that is worth staying up late to catch up on. Although I am a woman, it also aroused my passion. I can't get enough of it. Just keep the male protagonist character and don't let it end. Don't write more wives later, and don't be lustful. You can't read this in male videos. The author keeps up the good work.
Overall, it's pretty good, but the plot connection is a bit stiff in some places. For example, the part where the protagonist asks for leave to go out and pretend to be approved. I think there could be more description of the environment and characters, otherwise it would feel weird if the protagonist suddenly starts reciting poetry. All in all, it's pretty good. The subject matter is relatively new. Friends who like this kind of cool writing can read it. The author should hurry up and update it [laughter]
I am an 18-year-old bookworm and have read all the books from Miao Miao, Swallowing Starry Sky, Warcraft Sword God, Coiling Dragon, Star Transformation, Jiuding Ji, Mortal Cultivation to Immortality, etc. Now that I am over thirty, I prefer books that are more relaxing. This book can be read by bookworms. It is a good book worth recommending.
The setting of this book "The Awakening System Before the Imperial Examination, My Life Is Gone Wrong" is very eye-catching. In the opening chapter, the protagonist is hijacked by a pig demon on the eve of the imperial examination. In a desperate situation, he fights against the awakening system. The story of abandoning literature and turning to martial arts is novel and exciting, and quickly catches the readers' attention. The protagonist mingles with his colleagues in the prison and enters the plot of Keiyesi coming into contact with demons, making the story full of mystery and excitement. However, the pace in the early stage is slightly faster and the psychological portrayal of the characters is slightly shallow. Overall, this is a mind-opening and enjoyable book suitable for reading in your spare time.
I have finished reading more than 200,000 words, but I still feel like I haven't gotten to what I want to read. I also understand why so many people give low marks. Come on, the author.
Although there are slight flaws, the flaws do not hide the beauty! Rare. Keep it level and it will explode!
The storyline is compact, lively and interesting
It has flesh and blood and can make me cry. I highly recommend it.
The narrative technique is very mature. Ancient style novels should have an ancient style. This novel is very good. Unlike many modern urban novels, they are just a running account and cannot be read at all. I recommend reading it carefully.
