Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting
Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

I'd like to read something like Not a Single Good Person in the Whole Sect? (Jinji Yuanzhu). It's an Eastern fantasy story about a sect where not a single person is any good.

My niece asked me to read the novel. I was surprised that this novel is suitable for both generations. This is something I didn't expect at all. At first I thought it was just an ordinary novel about cultivating immortals, but later I discovered that it contains a lot of ancient Chinese things. The more I read, the more I felt that it was not simple. Even "Flower in the Mirror" was released. I can only say that the author of this new book is very good, with a rich knowledge reserve, and it is very natural to use. The name "Medicine Beast" is not used indiscriminately, it is very good. I read some chapters over and over again, especially the part about the seventy-plus chapters that tells the legend of the Seven Kills and Breaking Army Greedy Wolf, which is quite exciting. Overall, this is a book suitable for both primary school students and adults.
This book mainly talks about only one word, which is "Tao". There are very few new books written like this nowadays. It instantly brought back my memories of reading fantasy novels in the past twenty years. What is "Tao"? Different characters in the book gave different interpretations, as if they were standing in front of me alive. I originally thought it was an ancient fantasy book based on the title, but it turns out that the content is light-hearted and the thoughts are profound, especially the chapter about destroying the Mongolian Demon King in the Star Mirage City, which really made me cry. The sentence "I destroyed the Mongolian clan did not decline because of the jealousy of heaven, but she, my mother, just ignored us." It made me burst into tears instantly. It was not moved to tears, but I saw the admiration for Confucianism.
This book is a bit special. From the Nascent Soul to the Qi Refining, it gives people a living feeling. There is no sense of superiority or immortality at all. The most exciting thing is the Hades chapter I just read. The hornet is really sassy, Luo Qingqing is also very funny, and Meng Luoxi is actually from Chongqing. I look forward to the following plots 👍👍👍 This Wanqi Pavilion fighting chase is interesting, humorous and tense atmosphere, opening the door to kill Luo Karen, and the ghost Li Lun who does not talk about martial arts, hahahahahaha
This book is quite exciting! I've almost finished listening to it, and I plan to read it again later. Some details are hard to understand in the book. IQ is online throughout the whole process, and it's relatively relaxed. There's no plot that forces intrigue and provoking troubles. The format is more like a travel note on cultivating immortals or a secret biography of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. I found that it contains not only the contents of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but also "Tao Te Ching", "Shuowen", "Shuo Wen", "Guoyu", "Liao Zhai" and many other strange ancient books are reflected in the book. Yuqingjie, Shangqingjie and Taiqingjie are also typical settings of the Three Qing Dynasty, and several poems written by the author are really brilliant, which can illustrate the author's background in ancient strange literature. It is a new book worth reading. I look forward to the follow-up, especially what Yuqingjie will be like!
One knows how to be willing to give up, and the other knows the cause and effect of anger. One delusion distinguishes good from evil, one thought leads to ignorance. You are not a fairy, but you are happy with the shortness of the horse. I am not a free person, I only cultivate my worldly mind. There is no wind blowing happily, and there are many fireflies flowing in the clear night. The book written by this literary talent is really beautiful
This book is okay. I read it once and it's better than ordinary books about cultivating immortals. It is said that the prototype of Beichen Daojun is the Mengji Spirit Leopard. There is also a strange beast called Mengji in the Book of Mountains and Seas. It seems to be the current snow leopard. Is this a reflection?
I read it carefully, there are a lot of Classics of Mountains and Seas and various ancient elements. I like the scene where Feng Si appears the most. She is probably the only female character that the author has appeared in and described for half a chapter. The other one is Wasp, who made me laugh when she played with stones and rice. It's so good! I've finished watching it, and I'm following it every day
I've finished reading it. As the author said when recommending the book, it's different from other books about cultivating immortals. I like the Hades chapter the most. The hornet is really sassy. The Ghost King is so handsome. Meng Luoxi is very unique. I don't know if Meng Luoxi and Bai Wuchang will get married later. It's a good book. I'm going to read it a second time.
A niche but unique fantasy! It is really rare to see this kind of "Tao flavor" Zhutianliu now. Unlike many of the same fantasy nowadays, the world view of this book really talks about "Tao". The protagonist is not Long Aotian, nor does he have a golden finger. He starts with a seal and slowly completes the Tao by observing the sky and cultivating cause and effect. This kind of slowed down growth line is more interesting. The most rare thing is that none of the monks in the book are cold tool men. Whether it is Jindan Zhenren or Nascent Soul Taoist Lord, they are all filled with fireworks and obsessions, and they are not suspended in reading. Looking forward to the author's big update!
A different kind of article about cultivating immortals, written with care. I hope to present a world of cultivating immortals with a more quaint atmosphere. I have been reading Feng Shui books and Classics of Mountains and Seas since I was a child. The articles will reflect many things that everyone ignores. Sometimes there will be some things from the Book of Changes mixed in, such as numerology, fixed numbers, and variables. I hope that I can write more and more wonderfully, and write a different two-million-word long article about cultivating immortality. The further I write, the more I feel the vastness of the world and the insignificance of myself. All causes and effects have fixed numbers and variables. I feel that my thinking is slowly breaking through a room. This room is the inherent thinking of fighting monsters, leveling up and collecting materials in traditional fairy tales. What will the future hold? I am looking forward to my performance!
