The logic is clear and interlocking, and the characters that appear have distinct personalities. To be honest, these points alone surpass 99% of the online articles that claim to have online IQs. The plot is not eye-catching, but it is interesting to read. If you can write 500,000 words at this level, it will definitely become popular, and you can get thousands of orders from the starting point.
There is no childish cool writing or mentally retarded system that is too familiar nowadays. The plot is unique and the characters are vividly drawn! The male protagonist "whose chest is as thunderous and his face is as flat as a lake, can be worshiped as a general" is a type that I like very much. It is always a pity that such a character does not have any emotional bonds. Maybe the plot is like this.
620,000 Words, for nearly half a year, I wrote Lu Shen's story carefully, with a clear conscience in every stroke. It's just that the road ahead is vast, but we can only go so far. It's a pity that this game of chess has not been seen by more people, but I believe that it can still be regarded as a relatively complete story. Finally, if this book can bring readers even one or two days of entertainment in their busy work and study life, then I have earned money.
The novel is well written, but sometimes it feels a bit like Ming 1566. Looking at the novel alone, although it is about Jianghu, it also has Bo Yun's treacherous political background, interspersed with memory fragments and interactions between people at the bottom. Compared with common fantasy novels about upgrading and fighting monsters, it is much richer. Rarely good articles
The writing is quite good. It would be better to write more indirect killings like the accidents played by Louis Koo, instead of doing everything yourself.
I give it five stars, not because it is really beautiful to write, but mainly because it appeals to my taste. Of course, the previous narrative is still too long. If you want to change it later, just make the pace faster. The emotional scenes are well written, but I don't like watching war scenes, so I won't comment on them.
It's a good fight! Machiavellian, beautiful! Emotional drama, pure love! Love watching the plot! There are several characters in it that I love very much, so it's not a bad idea to join them! Don't be fooled by the title. It's said to be a killer, but it's more of a Machiavellian plot. It's a good book that deserves careful consideration!
The writing is quite good. If I say it's not good, it's just because I read too much Shuangwen.
It's okay, there's potential
It's not bad. Although it doesn't have a very eye-catching plot, and it doesn't describe the advantages of time travellers, the overall feeling is okay and it's worth watching.
