    Newbies create suspense novels. The plot does not advance very quickly. It pays more attention to logic, writing, atmosphere creation and character creation. It is suitable for people who like immersive reading. If you are interested, you can click in and read it, and send some paragraphs or book reviews. I hope you can correct me if there is any inappropriateness, imprecision, or other areas that need improvement. It is not easy to create, so please give me your advice! [Love]
