Old school novel writing. The writing style is pragmatic, and the characters in focus also conform to objective logic. There is also a bit of literati idealism in it. The portrayal of characters including Cui Yidu and Jiang Sinan Xiao Guanshan is also a kind of idealism. However, this ideal is frustrated and frustrated in reality. Let the evildoers go free and show off their power for many years. Until recent chapters, even though Cui Yidu was the Third Highness, he was still in a state of reticence. The idealistic character suffers the hardships of realism, but in the end the author may still use idealism to have a happy ending. Just like Dou E's innocence, Bao Zheng's dog's head and guillotine beheaded the evildoer, and Zhao Pan'er's old love ended happily. Literati used pen to depict the ideal country and the belief in a prosperous world. Worthy of recognition.
This martial arts novel subverted my knowledge. It perfectly combines martial arts, suspense, solving crimes, adventure, and revenge. The writing style is popular and humorous. It is so good that I can't stop reading it. It can be said to be a perfect and stunning masterpiece! The story is vivid, thrilling, and full of fun, and the description of the martial arts scenes is quite enjoyable. It reminded me of the tension and excitement I felt when I first watched martial arts! Two young men also challenge for the supreme position in martial arts, but the process and results are different. It is truly a unique style of martial arts. The author's writing skills are very good, with frequent golden sentences, accurate expressions, concise and comprehensive words, and many beautiful lines of poetry. The story of solving the case is intricate and logical, and everyone applauds! This novel covers human nature, family love, friendship, education, people's livelihood, beliefs, I Ching gossip, Feng Shui fortune telling, Qi Men Dun Jia, folk deception, etc. It is simply a small encyclopedia. Thanks to the author for sharing, like it! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The author sets the protagonist in a well-intentioned "cheating" environment to make a living, grows up in adversity, and depicts the living environment and characters in the market. He shows his unique meticulous thinking, wisdom, and courage in a series of "cheating" and breaking the situation. The chapters are interlocking, with exquisite conception and delicate writing. The plot is compact and funny. At the same time, it conveys the correct three views of the little person. The little person also has the power to defeat evil. The subsequent storyline should also have the transformation of the protagonist's growth, which is worth looking forward to.
I have to say that this novel is so amazing that I couldn't stop reading it! The stories inside are exciting, interlocking, fast-paced, and full of suspense. Nothing is impossible, only unexpected. From the beginning of Gambling King, it has subverted my understanding of all the Gambling King series I have watched, and I admire the author's exquisite story design. There are many crime-solving stories in it, with strict logic, full of details, and constant reversals. The adventure story is exciting and rich in imagination, and it is definitely not the kind of plot that deceives people. The characters in it are particularly vivid. In addition to the protagonist, even various minor characters will leave an unforgettable impression on the readers. The author uses vivid words to show a colorful Jianghu life and martial arts world. After reading each story, you will have a long aftertaste. Especially the friendship between Jianghu makes people move to tears. The full text is humorous and can adjust the readers' emotions in a timely manner. This is a rare high-quality martial arts suspense novel, highly recommended, don't regret reading it!
It can be seen that the author has good writing skills and has read many novels, especially martial arts novels. The writing style is more traditional, but the whole story is not about a young man in traditional martial arts who braves the world with swords and swords. Instead, the perspective is focused on an unknown and unremarkable little person. He is neither aboveboard nor suave, and he is even a bit unattractive. Of course, there are not so many confidants around her, childhood sweethearts or princesses from other countries who favor her, not even a junior sister. But he is such an ordinary person, but I am moved by his perseverance in pursuing the truth despite the difficulties in his life, and his persistence in pursuing the truth even if the natural chasm is difficult. He is the epitome of countless ordinary people among us, ordinary people who are extraordinary in the ordinary. I am really grateful to the author for his careful creation, letting us know that moss flowers are fragrant and that there are good books under the list.
This is a magical book about martial arts. It's so beautiful that I couldn't stop reading it. I stayed up all night reading it. The story is compact, vivid, exciting, majestic, rich in content, and full of suspense. The author has an excellent ability to control words, tightly grabbing the readers' hearts from beginning to end, constantly switching between tension, relaxation, excitement, and sadness. In the first few chapters, I was still moved to tears by the love between the Jianghu brothers, and soon I was amused to tears by the humorous plot. The crime-solving story in it is logically rigorous, cleverly designed, and unexpected, and the adventure story is also full of dangers and thrills. The protagonist is extremely resourceful and takes an unusual route. I don't know how the author created it! The supporting characters and other characters have distinct personalities and are impressive. This book is highly recommended, it would be a pity not to read it.
I finally finished listening to the book today, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. This novel is truly IQ online, there is no time travel or rebirth system, it is all a real game. It is a rare masterpiece, and I personally think it is much better than those sacred books on the list. The author is very knowledgeable, the writing is superb, and the story is even better. The martial arts are also very exciting, with the flavor of traditional martial arts. The protagonist and supporting characters are outstanding, and many minor characters are lifelike. The author's plot layout is very clever, and the stories are interlocking and full of ups and downs, making people unable to stop. After reading it, I felt lonely and couldn't get out of the plot for a long time. The people and stories inside are still echoing in my mind. The growth stories of the protagonist and supporting characters are so moving that each story can open a novel on its own. This impetuous era really needs such real and down-to-earth works. Big thumbs up to the author, he is awesome. I would like to make a suggestion, let's make a side story about Mo Xiaosheng. It's a pity that he is so mysterious. I'm looking forward to it.
Book review of "Liu Yao Zangju": Exploring the Way of Heaven at the Lower Jiuliu, Controlling the Universe Between Strategy and Strength When "life is impermanent" is placed in the grand context of Eastern immortals, Ren Fan Wuyin's "Liu Yao Zangju" becomes a practice that subverts cognition. The protagonist is in a lower class, but he is not willing to accept the fate of others. He shakes the yin and yang flags and explores the six-yao formula - this opening has a fierceness to break the situation, and the truth of "the fittest will enjoy the way of heaven, the good will be the general, the good planner will be the king", sparking the border between fantasy and martial arts. It is not the kind of cliché story with an empty fairy shell. The numerology mystery of "Six Yao" is intertwined with the power game of "Hidden Game", which makes every breakthrough in cultivation bring a sense of excitement of intellectual competition, and every martial arts duel hides the subtlety of breaking the situation. The protagonist climbs up from the bottom, and does not rely on golden fingers to crush him without brains, but relies on "good planning" to succeed step by step. This kind of growth line with online IQ can be called a breath of fresh air in the fantasy track. What's even more unique is the style, which blends Eastern numerology culture into the world of immortals. The movement of the yin and yang flags is a game of fate, and the failure of the Six Yao Jue is the mystery of heaven. It has both the joyful grudges of martial arts and the explosion of fantasy imagination, as well as a bit of the profoundness of traditional culture. The reading experience is directly full. If you are tired of watching fairy tales that upgrade to fight monsters, and want to experience the real gameplay of "The Good Schemer is King", "Liuyao Hidden Game" will definitely make you amazed - this is the ambition and quality that fairy tales should have! Leave it to Doubao
I can't stop looking so good! The story is told in a funny and humorous way, and the image of the protagonist emerges unconsciously: a weak man, many abilities, high IQ, and kind-hearted, he is simply a polygonal warrior. Other characters are also vivid. It's a rare novel. I love it so much, but I just can't get enough of it.
The true mystery is never the magical power to change destiny against the will of heaven, but the precise grasp of "time and position". The protagonist acts according to the hexagrams, but is not trapped by the hexagrams. He makes trade-offs between good and bad, and hides the survival wisdom in traditional culture in the plot. The more you read, the more profound it becomes.
