I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.

This novel is very informative. From a higher perspective, I am thinking about the difference between modern security guards and the Ming Dynasty rulers' machines, and the difference between modern legal system and ancient legal system. Of course, what is more attractive in the book is the complex plot, wonderful content and clear arrangement.
The author's writing style is truly skillful, concise and solid. When writing about the weirdness of the talisman killings and the gloomy puppet case, the writing is cool but not draggy; when switching to describing the feudal king's conspiracy, it can tightly combine the rigor of criminal investigation reasoning and the fantasy of Taoist fighting without any sense of fragmentation. Historical figures and Taoist allusions are interspersed naturally, just like Zhang Yuqing's growth line, which is not set up by narration, but is all revealed in the plot. The pace is fast but not chaotic, and each stroke is based on the hard-core sense of "returning to law". The reading shows both the skill of textual research and the refreshing feeling of solving a crime.
There are not many chapters at the moment, let's talk about a few advantages: 1. Excellent writing style: The whole text is written in vernacular in the early stage, and then the pace gradually speeds up, the text is refined, and the author's writing skills are amazing. He is not an ordinary internet writer, but should be a top student in Chinese. You can guess it from his pen name Lintai. 2. Perfect setting: The identity of the Taoist law enforcer is outstanding. The setting of the realm of monasticism is in line with Chinese Taoist philosophy and is more in line with Chinese cultural inheritance than traditional fantasy. The second male lead is a real historical figure, and people are looking forward to how Zhang Yuqing will grow into the most powerful Heavenly Master in history. 3. The story is exciting: the story is fast-paced, without any nonsense, the cases are one after another, and the conspiracy behind it is getting bigger and bigger, and the reasoning process is also logical and rigorous. At present, the most outstanding part is the scene where the Huainan Wang is resurrected, and the subsequent use of transitions and insertions to create literary conflicts. It is a very powerful writing technique that should be rare in the online literature world. 4. Knowledge drip-feeding: This book, to be honest, looks like it may need some effort for beginners. There are many real historical figures and events interspersed in it, and few people really understand the history of Chinese Taoism. I was misled by some uneducated immortality novels. All the deeds of cultivating Taoism and immortality in this novel are recorded in Chinese history and are real. I have specially marked some, hoping it will be helpful to readers. If you want to know the level of the author of this novel, I suggest you just read Chapter 28 and Chapter 53. Absolutely, the first encounter of a male and female protagonist is a ceiling, and the ending of a villain is a ceiling! The picture is very strong! The writing is excellent! It's like watching a movie slice! If these two chapters impress you, you can read this book carefully. It is very worth reading. The pace should be fast and slow! Just right.
When I opened this book, I had the mentality of casually reading it, but I didn't expect that once I got into the plot, I would never be able to take my eyes away from it - the author is so good at grasping the "sense of immersion". Whether it is the struggle and growth of the protagonist, or the freshness and multi-facetedness of the supporting characters, they do not fall into the cliché of black and white. For example, the protagonist's hesitation when faced with a choice is not a simple "confrontation between good and evil", but a hidden bondage of past experiences and confusion about the future. Those delicate psychological descriptions are like a pair of light hands, quietly arousing readers' empathy; even the villain's motivations are well-founded and well-founded. While making people itch with hatred, they can't help but sigh, "So that's it." The rhythm of the plot is just right. It neither skips key foreshadowing for the sake of "feeling good" nor slows down the progress due to excessive sensationalism. When it's time to be tense, such as the passage where the protagonist is in a desperate situation, the text is filled with breathless tension; when it's time to be relaxed, some tender details will be interspersed – it may be an old object that the protagonist has been carrying in his pocket, or it may be a casual concern from a supporting character, which adds a layer of warmth to the story. I particularly like the descriptions of scenes in the book. Instead of piling up words, they outline the sense of the picture with just a few strokes: the smell of moss in the alleys on a rainy day, the flickering candlelight in the study late at night, and the bloody setting sun on the edge of the battlefield. Every place seems to be unfolding before your eyes, making people "inside it" with the characters. The most rare thing is that the story not only has a "good-looking" shell, but also hides a durable core. The author uses the character's experience to quietly explore propositions about choice, perseverance and growth. There is no blunt preaching, but after closing the book, people can't help but think about it: If it were me, would I make the same decision as the protagonist? This "aftertaste"
The different background text of the Ming Dynasty re-examines various things that happened in the Ming Dynasty from a relatively new perspective. The author's writing style is good, his skills are solid, and his depictions are attentive. The story design is wonderful and well-founded. The worldview and fantasy elements are also combined very cleverly, without interfering with normal historical events and the development of the main line. The intersection of criminal detective cases and Taoist and supernatural powers is also very interesting, without focusing on one or the other. Come on, author, the writing is very good.

The introduction to the novel has introduced the outline of the novel in great detail. Looking closely at the plot of the novel, the author's conception is ingenious, the story's logic is rigorous, the connections between chapters are smooth, and the writing is smooth. It makes people look forward to the subsequent development.
Ordinary words write the unique lives of different protagonists. The writing style is smooth and layered. Strong logical thinking [Like] [Like] [Like] A very nice book, the more I read, the more I want to read [Love]
I finished reading it in one go today. It's so good-looking and good-looking. The young man has a young heart, the Heavenly Master and the royal sister Sun Yiyan, the ghost doctor Yin Yin and the gentle and considerate An An. Both pairs are very good to interact with. There are so many characters in the article, but if you look closely, everyone has different personalities, and the descriptions and portrayals of the characters are also different. From a small Taoist temple tragedy to protecting the king of Chu, the male protagonist got to know many people with great righteousness. The group portraits are also particularly perfect. Taoism and justice are interconnected. With the Ming Dynasty as the background, the blood is boiling. Liu An's human fireworks really poked me, and the fighting scenes are lifelike. The writing is wonderful, wonderful, good, good, good, and I look forward to the story of the Taoist Procuratorate later. There are not many wonderful comments that I can write. Justice, love, love, justice, sacrifice, loyalty, responsibility, and sin can all be unfolded in this book. With historical figures as the background, it seems that I can see the guardianship and everything in the turbulent situation. Really good.
At first, I thought it would follow the same direction as those nonsensical and refreshing novels (I like to read refreshing novels to relax, hehe), but I didn't expect that the subsequent plot development would suddenly come online. The protagonists are both engaged in business online, and the plot is also very exciting.
I have read it a lot intermittently, and the most intuitive feeling is that the author is very professional and attentive. Although I have never read Daomen's book before, I became curious while reading it. Many novels nowadays are too innovative and different, and lose the writing quality and value pursuit that a writer should have. However, this book is quite down-to-earth, with a complete narrative and rigorous content. The most distinctive feature is that the language of the shots in many places is particularly obvious, and it feels like watching a movie slice. The transitions are very smooth, such as the sudden transition to the fireworks world of Shouzhou City after the resurrection of King Huainan. The strong contrast makes it logical for King Huainan to reconcile with himself.
