   Jiang Chen remained vigilant. Seeing the snake demon pounce, he decisively flicked his sleeve, capturing Ruan Qing and the other person within his sleeve's inner space. At the same time, he himself used his earth- (earth- is a technique for escaping into the ground) to conceal himself. "Rumble...!" The snake demon's millstone-sized head slammed down heavily, causing the ground to tremble several times. The palace seemed to shake slightly, and Old Master Hu, perched on the beam, almost fell off. "Where are they... Hiss?!" The Green Snake Gentleman raised his ferocious head, his cold snake eyes scanning the surroundings. Whoosh! A flash of green light appeared in the hall, and suddenly a Taoist priest in a green robe appeared. He had regular features, his hair tied up in a Taoist bun, and he seemed to possess an air of otherworldly refinement. "Hiss... This scholar is actually a Taoist priest." The snake demon turned its head to look, its murderous intent intensifying. It grinned, revealing its blood-red maw, and laughed, "Haha... Today, I'll taste the muscles of this Taoist priest!" With that, its enormous snake body crashed into the demon like a derailed train. The Taoist smiled slightly and casually made a hand seal.

He can't distinguish whether the system prompts in his ears are salvation or the ramblings of fellow patients, until the clock in New York stops, pedestrians in Tokyo turn to salt—the moment the hospital room explodes with lightning, he opens his eyes to find himself a useless disciple of the Cangyang Sect in another world, ribs broken, dantian shattered, thrown into the Demon Beast Forest to await death.

    Review of *I Can See Health Bars*: A Unique Adventure in a Gamified Cultivation World. *I Can See Health Bars* is a highly acclaimed work on the Tomato Free Novels platform. Author Red Bean Tea, with her unique creativity and solid narrative, constructs a fantastical cultivation world. The protagonist transmigrates to another world, becoming an orphan in a small village, only to discover that this world has a game-like setting—everyone has health bars on their heads, each has an attribute panel, and immortal demons exist outside, capable of autonomous cultivation and skill acquisition. In the early stages, the protagonist trains diligently to avoid forced labor by the imperial court. Later, he discovers extraordinary drops in dungeons and, leveraging the advantages of his player stats, decides to contact the official authorities. Although he claims to be on the path of appeasement, the title subtly hints at a confrontation with the government. The most captivating aspect of this book is its game-like world-building, which the author successfully makes self-consistent. The idea of ​​natives using dungeon refreshes to obtain resources and establish an extraordinary order is innovative. In terms of plot, the protagonist's early efforts to change his fate are inspiring, and the dungeon adventures are thrilling. For example, when the protagonist faces monsters with sentience and emotions in dungeons, it's no longer a simple matter of leveling up and fighting monsters, but rather full of strategy and maneuvering. In terms of character development, the protagonist is resilient, has clear goals, and constantly strives to become stronger. Other characters, whether NPCs or important supporting characters, are not stereotypical and have relatively three-dimensional personalities. For instance, some dungeon NPCs yearn to become human, and their desires intertwine with the protagonist's goals, enriching the story's layers. However, this book also has some shortcomings. The pacing slows down in the later stages, and the plot conflicts are not intense enough, resulting in a reduced sense of tension and excitement while reading. As the protagonist levels up, the lack of clear realm divisions and reference points makes the protagonist's growth feel less tangible. Moreover, the story currently lacks any truly hostile human characters, making the story somewhat bland. Overall, *I Can See Health Bars* is a novel with both obvious strengths and weaknesses. If you enjoy novel, game-like cultivation settings and don't mind a slightly slower pace, then this book is worth reading; it will take you into a unique world of cultivation adventure.
