Name: Crimson Moon, Heavenly Tragedy
Author: Lu Dongbin's Gourd

Synopsis

What makes this book special: Cultivation in the apocalypse + awakening through reincarnation + unexpected twists + slow-burn build-up and climaxes + science fiction and history + real-world themes + action and warfare + strategy and cunning + realistic emotions + multiple interwoven timelines + patriotic spirit + no harem + ensemble cast + cultivation.

Story: On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, the apocalypse arrives. A massacre that wiped out an entire family two years ago reveals a shocking conspiracy capable of overturning the world. To protect Shenzhou, vanquish demons, and uphold justice, the cultivator Zhou Yue resolutely embarks on a deadly path to bear Heaven's mandate. Along the way, whether they are demons of the mortal world, invading celestial demons, or traitorous spies operating behind the scenes, anyone with ill intentions will be killed, killed, killed...

Review: Set against the backdrop of the apocalypse, this is a story that portrays both beauty and ugliness, loyalty and betrayal.

Special note: Under my current writing plan, this is a trial project covering just seven days of events. If it is well received, there will be a sequel. Also, this is a slow-burn story, so some chapters will be devoted to building up the plot, laying groundwork, creating the world, and developing the main characters.

A note from the author: This book can be a power fantasy, or it can be a scripture. Like a single leaf, it can reveal autumn, or obscure your view. May those who enter hear its teachings, and those who leave take its fragrance with them.

It's a quick transmigration story. In one world, the protagonist turns into something like a Travel Frog, except the others are frogs and she's a panda. She becomes a man's pet and travels around, bringing back a mermaid and a dragon to help make money. Before leaving the world, she snatches the original male lead's frog and gives it back to its owner.
