   Dear godfathers, godmothers, if you can, please check out this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly amazing. It's a group-based cultivation story, high-octane and thrilling. After reading the second chapter, if you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to fight for my creative work. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, please take a look. I, Tianjiao, would like to thank all my godfathers and godmothers. Content: As Liu Yu stretched out her hands, the void behind her trembled violently, and a nine-tailed fox phantom, tens of feet tall, suddenly appeared, radiating a terrifying, savage pressure. Then, Liu Yu clasped her hands together, and the nine-tailed fox phantom behind her simultaneously extended its front paws, slamming them together against the incoming death energy spear. Boom! The death energy spear shattered between the fox's claws, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which was easily dispersed by the nine-tailed fox phantom's gentle breath. Xu Feng laughed and clapped, "Impressive, impressive! As expected of a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator... Even more wonderful than I expected." He licked his lips, "Only prey like you is worth tasting." With that, he wiped the smile from his face and turned to the remaining ghost generals, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, the six ghost generals, except for Qian Yuan, transformed into six streaks of black mist and shot straight towards the cultivators except for Liu Yu and her group of nine. The next moment, desperate screams rose and fell as one cultivator after another was grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground by the ghost generals. Their blood and yang energy were rapidly drained from their bodies by the ghosts, their bodies quickly withering away until they became empty-eyed, gaping corpses, carelessly tossed into pools of blood. The remaining surviving cultivators, driven mad by the prospect of death, launched a fierce attack on the ghost generals. In an instant, all sorts of hidden supernatural powers and magical treasures were revealed, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made this already ruined place even worse. The earth was torn open with bottomless ravines, and rubble, severed limbs, and fragments of magical treasures were mixed together and turned into dust in the violent energy turbulence.

    This is the first really good D&D novel. The main criticism is that the second volume is too long. Personally, I think the early parts of the second volume are entertaining with the dwarf jokes in the reviews, but the later part, where they enter the drow city, is indeed oppressive. However, it portrays the drow's madness in a way that other novels haven't shown, successfully explaining the origin of the dwarves' prejudice against them [facepalm]. In other novels, the drow just feel like human bandits in disguise. —Separation— Also, the little mage in the first volume—some people think she's a burden, but after the dragon attack, she learns a first-circle spell and helps the protagonist a lot until they part ways at the end of the first volume. —Separation— Also, don't worry about the protagonist building a harem every woman he meets; after all, you can only have a harem if you're alive [smirk]. The second book's title is too abstract. Each alien world has different monsters. For example, in the City of Eternal Night, making too much noise will cause you to be haunted by shadows, and being too bright will attract neon tumors. It's somewhat similar to the Tales of the Rules, but without the little notes. The protagonist is a legendary survivor. At the beginning, he's thrown into the City of Eternal Night, and his whole class is wiped out. After being rescued by an older man, he learns survival skills in the City of Eternal Night. There's a rather thrilling and oppressive part in the middle, which I won't spoil. You need to find a moving door to escape the City of Eternal Night. It seems like it took the protagonist one or two years to escape. The Living Wood Forest is just a transition; there's nothing particularly thrilling (except for the Grim Reaper). —Separation— Then there's Rain and Silence Buddha City, which also features ten different monsters with different abilities. I won't spoil the details, but all I can say is that the unexpected events always catch you off guard, which is why I call the protagonist a legendary survivor. Overall, I felt that the Abnormal World had a bit of a rule-based supernatural tale and apocalyptic feel, but the two updates every two days were too slow. Oh, and by the way, all the monsters that have appeared so far (except for that woman [smirk]) can be killed. I can only say that I have the utmost respect for the author of Heavy Firepower [smirk]. The third book is an infinite supernatural novel. The pace and atmosphere are very oppressive, which is why this book has a low rating. If you like stories where evil is punished, good people have happy endings, and mindless fun, then don't read this. The ghosts in this book are intelligent, but they are all full of malice and want to kill people. The ghosts will hide their own rules and use fake rules to deceive humans. There won't be any situations where the ghosts are too shy to come when the protagonist takes off his pants, or the ghosts stop and look at the protagonist with suspicion when he goes crazy. ---Separation--- The protagonist is suspected to be a max-level boss who escaped but was then reinstated, which is the source of his cheat-like abilities. However, his cheat-like abilities are not omnipotent. As I mentioned before, this is not a wish-fulfillment story. The protagonist's cheat-like abilities can also be used by ghosts to backfire on him (I'm saying Da Hu's super intelligence really came into play [laughs]). Then there are ghosts in reality (there's also a senior-level mentoring newbie segment [laughs]). In reality, ghosts have two types of targets: one is those with ghost weapons (there's also a joint hunting segment [eating melon] which is to deplete the human's ghost weapons so that the ghosts in the abyss can kill them with one blow), and the other is those with special talents (who doesn't like being different [smirk]). The protagonist happens to possess both, which makes both the abyss and reality uneasy. This is also why I said the book's pace is depressing. While reading, I always felt like I couldn't breathe. I suggest reading something lighter every now and then, otherwise the immersion will be too strong. The fourth book is a beast taming novel. The protagonist starts as a master-level beast tamer and honorary deputy director, with many other titles (there's no room for all of them here [smirk]). I've forgotten most of the plot, since I raised them for a long time, but there weren't any really bad points (like spending a precious beast taming quota to save a stray dog ​​that was about to die on the roadside).

    This book, a thrilling and intelligent ensemble piece with the rare theme of voice manipulation, is incredibly innovative. The protagonist uses sound perception to communicate across time and space, a sophisticated and unique concept. Initially, everyone fights their own battles, but later they unite as an "Avengers" team and a psychic cat to break the deadlock and fight the villain. What impressed me most was the well-developed characterization of everyone; the protagonist is both intelligent and brave, and the villains are not mere plot devices, but have complete backstories and motivations. The plot is thrilling yet filled with heartwarming details, the twists and turns are well-paced and surprising, and the final battle where time and space converge delivers maximum tension.
