    Of these, I found chapter 3 the hardest to read, but it was still okay. The part about the competition felt strange; it constantly emphasized fighting, as if everyone had a deep-seated national hatred. I know they were fighting for their country's resources, but it felt bland. I'll reread it later. Later on, it seems like everyone's cultivating immortality, so avoid it if you're averse to that. I'm currently reading chapters 1, 4, and 7. As for chapter 2, I stopped reading the part where Langke and Shan Baoze fought. They fought for about several dozen chapters, and I found it boring, so I only read a little bit when I had time. I don't really like too much fighting, so I forgot some of the earlier parts, but I still enjoyed reading it. I'm considering rereading chapter 1 later. Chapter 1 is the only one I can't accept. I haven't read much of the author's previous work, "The Nameless One," but it's related to this one, and the comments keep mentioning it, making me feel disconnected and like I missed something. Also, some of the comments contain spoilers. Chapter 7 is the most recommended because I'm currently reading it. It's very realistic and bloody (after censorship), with a lot of dialogue, but I personally quite like it. There might be some minor issues with the school scenes, but I don't care too much; it depends on the individual. Each chapter is quite long, the pacing is fast, and the world-building is extensive. It's a shame the author only managed 500 chapters; there are still many tragic elements. I won't go into detail about who dies. Anyway, everyone is sometimes mentioned briefly, sometimes elaborated on. [In short, I had to reread the whole thing because I liked reading other books halfway through. Don't follow my example, everyone!!] This is my first serious book recommendation; please tell me if there are any issues so I can take them into consideration.

    * **Gods Descend, I Went Mad with the Sight of Health Bars!**: The Ultimate Thrill of a Godslayer. This is a highly rated urban martial arts masterpiece with a 9.4 rating! The protagonist, Jiang You (Lin Ye), awakens "health bar vision." In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by abyssal aliens, he grows from a scavenger into a god-slayer executioner, relying on his "guaranteed hit" and "stealth" abilities. The book not only features exhilarating battles where "the god's health bar is emptied," but also profound explorations of humanity and fear. Author Bu Chi Yu Zhou masterfully combines shadow stealth with numerical combat, creating a constantly twisting plot—a rare and hardcore thriller on Tomato Novels! * **Superpower: I Have a Replica Mirror**: A Mortal's Epic of God-Slaying. This is a grand-scale urban fantasy masterpiece! Young Ji Qianming accidentally obtains a "Replica Mirror," allowing him to defy fate with his mortal body. Author Sanjiu Yinyu constructs a unique "Leaf Pattern" and "End" system, with an intricately linked plot, from Gouchen Academy to the God Realm War, featuring explosive and thrilling scenes. It not only depicts the bonds of brotherhood but also the heroic ambition to protect one's country. Although there are slight flaws in the early stages, the later plot becomes phenomenal, highly recommended for readers who enjoy action and imaginative storylines! *Once Upon a Time There Was a Demon-Suppressing Pass*: A Heart-Pounding tale of national defense. This is a tear-jerking urban fantasy masterpiece! Xu Erjia's Cat uses delicate strokes to tell the story of Yu Sheng, a young man from Sin City, learning trust and protection at the Demon-Suppressing Pass. The book not only features Yu Sheng's mutual support with Shi Guang but also the heroic sacrifices of Zhao Zicheng, Sun Wen, and other characters. The phrase "ten thousand lights behind" perfectly encapsulates the guardians' belief. Although the initial setup is a bit lengthy, the characterization of the "Xu-style Twelve Blades" is a stroke of genius, leaving a lasting impression. Highly recommended!
