A magic-and-farming story, preferably one that...

This book is excellent, with a strong Western fantasy element. The supporting characters are very well-developed, especially Meng Ge, who is so compelling that it makes you grit your teeth while reading.
The City of Sin, with its blasphemous level of fantasy, has a fantastic Western fantasy feel. Many details are very engaging. If it were on the Dianping platform, it would probably be quite effective. Many of Tomato's readers prefer fast-paced, action-packed stories. However, with time, I believe this story will shine here. I support it!
It's pretty good. The depiction is quite vivid, with a strong Western fantasy feel. The characters are also well-developed, and it has some depth, which is quite nice. I think the current rating of 9.1 Could be higher. I'm writing this comment to support the author.
Good writing must be savored. This book is the pinnacle of Western fantasy. No matter how imaginative the ideas are, the logic is very clear, and there are many foreshadowing elements. Looking back, many parts are simply amazing and have the potential to become a masterpiece!
This is a fantastic Western fantasy novel. The characters of B-King and Liuguang are particularly well-developed; I really enjoyed them. The characters from various factions are also well-developed, especially Mengge. When will she die? After the events of Dragonfall Village...
I saw someone recommend it and thought it would be pretty cliché, but it turned out to be surprisingly wonderful. It was fast-paced and didn't drag at all, with a plot full of twists and turns, rigorous logic, and no flaws. It was really good!
This is my first time following a book's updates. The only downside is that Tomato (the author's pen name) is a bit cunning, but everything else is great. The science and magic elements are really exciting. The story is still in its early stages, and I'm looking forward to more great work from the author! ❤️❤️❤️
I cried. This opening brought back so many memories of reading my first Western fantasy novel when I was a teenager. I remember back then, all the main characters were written in the first person, and my first Western fantasy novel was called something like "Diary," and it was truly written in diary style. I hadn't read novels before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it back then.
This book truly has both very obvious strengths and weaknesses. Let's start with the weaknesses. The early storyline was honestly quite depressing. It was a constant escape, everything went wrong, and it was a series of hardships. Even after finally reaching Grayrock Territory, they were tricked in the Dwarf Kingdom. When Mengge appeared and was released in Grayrock Territory, I almost gave up.
It's a classic Western fantasy story, which is quite good and suits my taste. However, I feel that the protagonist's strength is a bit weak, and he almost always wins by relying on his intelligence. I hope the leveling speed can be increased.
