   This is a divine book! Tang Jia San Shao was moved to tears, and Tian Can Shi Dou was humbled by its inferiority. It must be one of the Four Great Classical Novels, absolutely the greatest masterpiece of the 21st century! *Sacred Ruins* falls short in literary elegance! *Battle Through the Heavens* falls short in depth! *Zhu Xian* falls short in emotion! *Covering the Sky* falls short in imagination! *Buddha's Creed* falls short in plot! A once-in-a-century classic of online novels! The greatest literary work of the 21st century! Even Luo Guanzhong, Shi Nai'an, Wu Cheng'en, Cao Xueqin, Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Li Bai, Du Fu, the Three Su's, Xin Qiji, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, Genghis Khan, Buddha, Plato, Copernicus, and Aristotle would praise it! The author's book is truly exceptional. The writing is fluent, the rhetoric appropriate, deeply imbued with the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and further develops the spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties to a profound degree. To have seen this book in my lifetime is truly my greatest fortune. After reading this book, I was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of sorrow. Ah, such a wonderful novel! What if I could never read it again? What would I do? What would I do? Only after I unhesitatingly added the book to my bookshelf did my inner turmoil gradually subside. But then I immediately thought, wouldn't it be a waste of the author's hard work if others couldn't see such a good novel? After a painful internal struggle, I finally made up my mind: to sacrifice my own interests for the greater good. I will share this book review with the world. I will push this novel to the top, higher and higher! Until everyone sees it. When I walk between heaven and earth, under the blazing sun and the bright moon, I will ask myself: Is this novel exciting enough? Not enough? When I roam the rivers and lakes, with their vast expanses and rolling waters, I will ask myself: Is this novel thrilling enough? Not enough?

   These are all pretty good. *Foolish Play* and *Strange Beasts* lean towards a harem, so whether you read them depends on your tolerance for harem themes; *Strange Beasts* also has a lot of angst. As for *The God of Play*, all I can say is that Sanjiu, your characters became out of character later on, but it's still quite good. *The God of Slaying* has too much angst (actually, *The God of Play* does too), but the ending is good. *Ten Days* doesn't start particularly well, but it gets really cheesy later on. *The Haunted House* is a bit niche, a horror genre, but it's still quite good.

    These are all amazing, no explanation needed, all male-oriented ensemble novels. 1. Beast City: The male lead gradually improves and is intelligent, but there are many angst-filled moments 😢 2. Godslayer: The early and later parts are amazing. The part in Japan is a bit hard to get through, but it gets better after that. The final battle is both angsty and exhilarating, I didn't want to skip it at all, it's really good. 3. Drama God: The only book I've followed from the beginning. The world-building is novel and amazing, I really like it, I don't know how to describe it, there are many ensemble characters. 4. Joker Card: The male lead is very intelligent, an egoist who survives desperate situations, the kind who is currently following it.

    The first book was obscure but incredibly enjoyable. The second, "Li Chang'an," is what I'd call the pinnacle of the supernatural genre, but unfortunately, not many people know about it. The third and fourth books were fantastic in their early stages, but seemed to decline later on.
