The new protagonist after Ye Ming seems to have a dark past. I am looking forward to what kind of story the author will tell this time. Finally, I pay tribute to Ye Ming, the great god of chaos.
The author's early books are mostly foreshadowing, and later they are detonated and reached a point of excitement. As a result, the early stage is basically relatively dull, but he will add a battle of wits in the early stage. The writing style is quite satisfactory and the logical thinking is rigorous. 🍅Rare fairy grass novel.
I don't like to write reviews, but I'm worried about the author's writing and I feel like I'll stop updating because there's no feedback. After all, it's free to read and the quality is too high. The writing is concise, the plot is compact, and the fighting scenes are exciting. At first glance, it looks like a perfect score for the college entrance examination essay.
This book feels like the early Ye Ming, who is wretched, vigilant, and doesn't trust anyone. Moreover, at present, it feels like the connection between two parallel worlds, or it comes from a different timeline (personal speculation)
The writing style and plot of the previous book can already give this book a certain quality. It will definitely not be bad. Why is the rating so low?
What do you say? After reading it, you will understand that the book written by this author is super beautiful. I plan to spend my whole life pursuing it, and I hope the author will spend his whole life writing books. I will read his books for the rest of my life, reading more chapters a day. I also finished the first book Li Tianzun.
The author's Myth of the End (not the title, just the abbreviation) and Xiandao are both very good-looking. I loved reading The Myth of the End when I read it. This book is also very, very good. I see that novels of such high quality are very rare. I hope the author will become popular and make a fortune. People with writing skills and innovative novels and literary ideas should not be buried.
The author's writing is still steady, the plot flows smoothly, and there are no peeing spots. A rare good book from Tomato. The writing is not bad, the plot is okay, the characters are not clever, and everyone has their own characteristics. Who gave it such a low score? Is it offending?
The first volume should end at Chapter 116. Yuan Ziwu wanted to kill the protagonist, but instead of destroying the body and destroying all traces, he kicked the protagonist into the river. At the time, he thought it was a poisonous spot. After seeing it later, I realized that this was a foreshadowing. It should be Yuan Ziwu's plan. The layout is really wonderful. A growing protagonist, a new style of tomb robbing, a huge world view, clever layout, hidden foreshadowing, but not brain-burning, and the combat is refreshing.
The martial arts in this book can't be practiced casually. It has a unique domineering quality. The protagonist's wisdom is not written to show off. It is foreshadowed by the plot. You will feel that this is how it should be.
