The "Online Rivers and Lakes" series has concise writing style, full of charm, compact plot, vivid characters, clean writing style, relaxed and measured rhythm, flowing clouds and flowing water. Once you open it, you won't be able to put it down. The text has pictures and character, and the rhythm is very comfortable. There is no delay or watering down. The atmosphere is full of rivers and lakes. The meaning of rivers and lakes is everywhere in every line. It makes people enjoy reading it. I sincerely recommend it! Zhang Qinhu's two novels in the "Jianghu on Paper" series - Xie Zheng's journey in the rivers and lakes in the previous work "Tongtian Escort" and Hou Zhong's temple road in the current work "Fubo Yijian" - are both eloquent and long-lasting, with relaxed plots and calm and engaging writing. New works don't get a lot of attention these days. It's not that they're not good enough, it's just that they lack a bit of luck in being seen. I sincerely ask everyone to support the author so that this carefully written story can be understood and cherished by more people.
The author has made great progress. The first part was already very good, and this one has made rapid progress in writing. Each character is very three-dimensional and has its own distinctive characteristics. In fact, it is the best work in Jianghu Temple.
I have read all four books by the author, and the writing style is very good, although the male protagonists are a bit miserable and strong. The tragedy is that it is limited by the times and status, but it also allows people to see the various recourses we have in real life due to our position. I hope that the male protagonist of this book can also fight for his own destiny like Xie Zheng did. The author should write more and not be like Mao Bai who went to the battlefield frustrated and die, nor be like Mao Bai's master Kuang Ying who died alone. Lao Zhang works hard to write. If the verification period is 10,000 words per day, then it will be perfect 😎😎😎😎
Every book by the author is beautiful, thank you for being a passerby, and the descriptions are delicate. It is a rare good book in recent years.
I think Jianghu is really well written on paper. From my personal point of view, it is a masterpiece in terms of language logic, plot structure, and character description. The protagonist Hou Zhong is brave and resourceful, and the author can often paint a picture in your mind in just a few sentences. I think this is the joy of reading novels. Such a good book, I hope more people will read it and see if the world on this page is as exciting as the world we long for 🧐
I love reading this book. The author's books are all about small people working hard on their own. They are better than those darling literature that makes a fortune by studying salt and sweet potatoes, accepting big bosses or emperors as godfathers, kicking people in the butt, and laughing out loud.
This kind of good book should not be buried. Such an author should not be thrown into the street. The author of the Jianghu series is really far beyond the upper limit of online novels. In my opinion, the writing style, sense of substitution and logic are as good as Jin Yong's and far ahead of other martial arts novel authors. I really hope the author can become a god so that I can see more works by good authors.
It's an okay book I've read recently. Even though I'm already a second-level official, why do people still dare to openly slander the protagonist? The latest chapter is a bit uncomfortable when I'm sent out shortly after getting married. The rest of the plot is pretty smooth, and it's full of content. The protagonist's experience is as good as his martial arts level.
The writing is good, but he has always been a vanguard thug of the royal family. Every time he performs a meritorious service, he is picked off. Every time he puts out a fire, he is always looked down upon. After successfully putting out a fire, he is always looked down upon. The emotions are too depressed. At present, the two female partners are not good matches. They are just being used. It seems a bit depressing in the future. They should start their own business earlier to realize their ambitions.
There is no one of the best martial arts articles on Tomato. It is so good that it should not appear on Tomato. It is more like the good articles when the new martial arts emerged 20 years ago.
