Top cool article, why only 7.9 Points. Let's talk about the shortcomings first: I almost gave up the book in the two chapters when I was betrayed for the first time. It was a bit too holy. Fortunately, after I found out that I was betrayed, I killed them all. It was so cool. Also, the protagonist is suspected to be a little too kind, and if he knows the dark side, he will not be able to bear it. Fortunately, he is slowly changing later on, and you can see the changes in the protagonist. Let's talk about the advantages: 1. The world view is huge, including humans, world-eating species, churches, gods, fusion heretics, restricted areas and other forces, top combat forces playing chess, various promotion paths, etc. 2. The combat power system is stable and does not overwhelm combat power. The protagonist can play whenever he wants, and his combat power is solid. There are ranks of top combat powers. Each top combat power has different abilities, but they all have absolute dominance over low-level promotions. For example, the penalty area is full of lines, and it should be the first force at the moment. 3. The story is interesting and attractive. Such as the mysterious prosecutor's fighting power, the forbidden life at the bottom of Rusty Lake, the protagonist's path to promotion, the Destiny Tower where you can see your destiny, the body chosen by the gods, etc. These intertwined story lines make you want to know what will happen next, but at the same time it is not too confusing and clear. 4. The rhythm is tight and tight. The blood-licking battles are thrilling, and the direct dealings between different forces are even more heart-wrenching. At the same time, there will be some more relaxing daily moments interspersed. 5. Delicate emotions. There is currently no clear heroine. There is Officer Shen, a spiritual vessel with whom he has a crush, and a mysterious blind girl who is both an enemy and a friend. There is very little description of the relationship between men and women, so it is not ambiguous. 6. The characters are clear. Able to show complete and independent characters on paper, whether it is the brothers of the Chamber of Commerce, the civilian-first agent, Shen Yun who controls the entire fourth district, or the fateful daughter who only has a few words. The images of these characters are very clear, making them easy to remember without being too labeled. All in all, it is a good book worth reading. I hope the author will write better and better.
Time travel jobs are recruiting, and the pay is good [plus one for bookshelf] [I also strongly recommend] The package includes the time travel package, the rebirth package and free plug-ins (supports customization). Due to too many new small worlds, there is a serious shortage of time travellers. If you like it, you will get the system (give it a try, it is free anyway), first come, first served, regardless of gender. The novel is good, I support it
It's really beautiful and the storyline is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The standard in the front was not maintained, and the level in the back was a bit worse. The plot between the protagonist and the blind girl is long and riddle-like, and the dialogue is awkward. After reading dozens of chapters, I have no idea what it is about. The writing is vague and confusing, and it is pretentious and mysterious. It does not arouse my desire to explore the unknown, and there is no surprise in uncovering the mystery. It is boring to read. Moreover, the protagonist's subsequent behavior is reckless, awkward, and childish, and his mood is unstable. It is said that he has a passive skill that can force him to calm down, but it seems that he does not. The protagonist loses control of his emotions everywhere in the article. The author really wants the protagonist to be cool, but what I get from reading it is that the protagonist is pretending to be cool and normal, pretending to be cool but also pretending not to understand, like Jiahao. The plot involves Shen helping the protagonist rebuild the orphanage and being the dean and the protagonist executing those who embezzled the orphanage funds. I don't know why, but I'm not moved by it but it feels very childish and abrupt, and it feels like it's forcibly adding value. The orphanage seems to be the opposite of the protagonist, and the protagonist loses his composure when it comes to the orphanage. But didn't the protagonist come back in time after his original death? Does he really have such deep feelings for the orphanage? Also, the distance between the protagonist and the blind girl is very strange. They are either talking nose to nose or mouth to ear. Their other behaviors together are also very intimate, and there are many more plots than the heroine. Is the blind girl the heroine? So what does Shen mean? Could it be that there are multiple heroines? Even more difficult to stretch. Moreover, Shen Du told him that the blind girl had malicious intentions, but the protagonist still went his own way, asking the blind girl for help everywhere, as if he regarded her as one of his own, and the blind girl also helped him every time, and always blindly trusted the male protagonist, which was very strange. The protagonist seems to have a sense of proportion, but in fact, the reading is incomprehensible. Moreover, the blind girl is superior to the protagonist in terms of strength, cognition, and language confrontation. Not only is it uncomfortable to watch, but it also makes people feel that the protagonist has been in two lives without any IQ, conversation, experience, or mental advantages, like a fledgling.
This book really hit my mark. The first is the sentence inside: "For mortals for hundreds of years, love is a moment outside the order." "Home... Means that among the thousands of lights in the world, one will always light up for you." "Blood is flowing and flesh is breaking. I am decaying and moving forward. " "The vast night and the continuous rainstorm. It was like going back to the day he woke up. 'I seem to be... Stuck in a heavy rainstorm. '" "Those who are promoted to high places feed on the withered bones of their compatriots. Overlooking the mortal world, the gods are looking for sacrifices in the human world. People also eat people, gods also eat people... It's not me who's sick at all. " "Why look for your own reflection in other people's eyes? You are never who you are in the eyes of others. ... The other person in your eyes is you. " Of course, there are many more good sentences, and the above are my personal favorites. Apart from these sentences, the protagonist's growth is traceable. Although he had been betrayed and feared... As time passed (actually it was not particularly long), he gradually became stronger and had a tough tone, but he still had a soft heart under his cold appearance. He is not a virgin, but he has sympathy for the low-class refugees; he was reborn from a fire in the orphanage, but he never forgot the way he came. Let's talk about group portraits. There are many flesh-and-blood people in this book. The pain of eternal loss is destined to be unbearable and struggling behind every high-level promotion person. Just like the sentence in the book "Every prosecutor general is a protagonist", we will see the complexity and multi-faceted nature of human nature, and the characters will also become three-dimensional in this. Worthy of being called a group portrait, this book can indeed see the pain, perseverance, confusion, and unwillingness of different characters... Together they outline a picture of a depressing era that makes people immersed in it. Moreover, this book contains many highly inflammatory scenes, blood and youth, tenacity and bravery, sobriety and madness, rebirth and death... All of these are contained in the text. So I think words are really magical. The same words can interweave different pictures in the minds of different people. This is my first time writing a book review, because I really like this book 😢 I hope the author will maintain stable updates ❤️ Add a few favorite sentences. "If the ending of the world is fixed. It is death. It is silence. What is meaningful? When I worry about survival, I just want to live. But to get to this point... The prosperity of civilization is the highest meaning of individual existence. " "Everyone in this world is half human and half ghost. You're so close that no one can see. " "Sorry, I missed my appointment again. Forgive me one last time. It would be a shame to stand by while others write history. I can't stop. " Okay, okay, the original comment cannot be changed. The sentence about "Mortal Hundreds of Years" is a quote. Everyone, please fork this sentence out⚠️ If you find that there are still quoted sentences, just fork them out yourself⚠️ I really want to say that the plot is the main body, and the sentences are just embellishments. Because most of the sentences are concise and can convey my feelings well, that's why I write sentences in book reviews. I don't know how the contradiction is deflected, but if I completely deny the plot and the entire book because of the quoted sentence, then I have nothing to say.
To be honest, this is definitely a book with a potential of 9.5 Points. The story background of the whole book is complete and has not been fully revealed yet. It feels really cool to analyze it layer by layer. The plots of the story are intertwined, the plot development is reasonable and logical, and the climax of the plot is well prepared. The foreshadowing made me so happy that I just watched it all afternoon. At the same time, the characters are all very well drawn. Just like in the article, every prosecutor is the protagonist. The characters are clearly and uniquely drawn. Each character is an independent individual. You can clearly feel the personality and style of this person's growth environment and experience. It is very logical, self-consistent, and cool! The author is also very imaginative and logical, giving each character unique and iconic characteristics. For example, fire reminds him of the king, order reminds him of the blind girl, and the moon reminds him of the heroine. This kind of clear direction makes each character very exciting for me to watch!! The above is an evaluation of the coherence of the plot and the characters. Then I have to mention that the writing style of this little "new writer" is a simple and precise style. Every word is just right. There is a unique charm between the words. This charm does not lie in the gorgeous or advanced vocabulary, but the simple vocabulary, which gives the whole book a supreme sense of high-end. It has a unique flavor in today's AI-heavy tomato. This is the style of writing that should be advocated! In the end, the update is inevitable. It really makes people feel itchy and stuck before the next climax of the plot. However, I prefer to look forward to a well-crafted work and hope that the author can maintain the current quality! 9.5 Points guaranteed, that's what I said. I almost forgot to mention it!! Brothers, don't be fooled by the title! The title is indeed abstract, but the article is very meaningful!! Pss: Being cool does not mean that this is a traditional cool article, but it means that this kind of refreshing feeling flows into the brain like a trickle. It is not like some articles that cannot be written by oneself and are forced into the reader's mind, causing the whole brain to be blocked.
Awesome. I have been reading online articles for more than ten years. I really doubt that the author is not a new person who has come to preach. He is an old monster who has been reincarnated. The plot is reasonable and exciting, and the foreshadowing is also recycled. Except for the protagonist's frequent facial expressions, which is really not a 9.1 Level. Some people in the comment area said that the pace is too slow and a big plot has to wait for a long time. On the contrary, I think that a slow pace can portray a long plot. It is really awesome.
At first glance, I don't know what it means. It's just like that at first glance, but after looking at it, I feel it's a bit interesting. After a closer look, I can see what a complex world, deep connotation, fresh and concise writing style, sometimes with hidden meanings but also philosophical words... Good boy, come on!
It's very interesting, and as it gets better, I feel that the author is faithfully writing what he wants to write. Although this may not cater to the audience of Tomato, I think it is good. The plot design made me feel like I was reading a book by a well-known author. But I feel that the writing power is a bit lacking.
Read: I finished it in one go. Let me talk about the shortcomings first. In fact, some parts of the writing in the early stage are still a bit stiff. For example, when Jiang Qi was betrayed for the first time, the writing was a bit too much. Secondly, it is obvious that there should be traces of AI assistance before the 34th chapter, so I will feel a little fragmented when reading. However, this situation disappears later. The author's writing power feels like it has increased exponentially. It is Jiang Qi who is the real author. There are too many advantages. Just to mention one, the group portraits are not favorable to others. After watching it in one sitting, I can even remember a veteran whose compensation was deducted. There are too many things I can remember. The most amazing creation is the sculptor at the beginning. The initial feeling of terror, the subsequent battles and dialogues are still fresh in my memory. I can only say two words "prejudice". Indescribable feeling, very good.
It's very interesting, the details are very detailed, not invincible, not brainless, no idiots, no old routines, the world is a chess game, the weak can only be reduced to pawns, everyone is the protagonist, and the protagonist's ability is just to have a greater chance of playing chess on the table. The introduction looks a bit crazy, but in fact the protagonist is very smart, and the disease of crazy laughter only has some sense of existence at the beginning, but later it has become The ability, although it is the ability, the logic is also very smooth, it is not mindlessly enjoyable, and the plot is mindlessly advanced. Many settings of this world shocked me. In short, it is good-looking. You may be a little confused at first, so just read it later. There are explanations (the only drawback is that there are too few, and it is not pleasant to read at all). In addition, the protagonist's notebook is not the author's notebook, right? It's so mysterious 🤭 Maybe I can break through the dimensional wall (just thinking it has nothing to do with the plot)
