   I personally think the writing style is alright; I could read it. The content is quite heartwarming, and it's probably a typical "leveling up" story, a common beast-taming theme. However, the content is very slice-of-life, focusing on the interactions between the protagonist and their pet. The leveling up isn't fast, so there's time to appreciate the scenery along the way. It has a bit of a fairytale feel, since the protagonist's speech is rather cute 🤦, and the interactions are adorable. I'm not sure if it counts as a comedy, but I was laughing through the later parts without actually chuckling.

   1. The protagonist has a positive outlook and treats those around him well. The plot is comfortable and well-developed, but the angst is a bit painful. It's a classic killing novel (yes, the author is that lazy, lolicon guy). (It seems like the characters who were killed will be resurrected later, but I'm not sure. Oh my god, if Black Crescent Moon doesn't resurrect, I'll kill the author! [Smirk]) 2. A well-written old novel. I read it in elementary school and am now reading it again. How can I love you without the golden headband? How can I protect you with the golden headband on? Waaah, Chang'e and Tianpeng are really crying. 3. The protagonist seems very happy. He tries hard not to fall in love with anyone. He knows very well that he is a villain. He carefully arranges everything before ascending to immortality. (Overall, it's quite cheerful.) 4. It feels like the author is just randomly killing people. He's gone crazy and kills everyone. [Facepalm] (He kills everyone except the female lead. [Sad]) All my favorite characters have been killed. [Crying] The plot is not stiff and is very comfortable. The four books have an average score of 9.6. These are all the ones I'm currently reading. They are really good.

    ① Damn, I regretted reading this book so much! I initially thought the prison scenes would be boring, so I didn't read it. Then I watched the later parts, and after finishing the prison episodes, I regretted it so much. Why didn't I read it sooner? It elevated the theme of the book to a level that even a typical "True or False Heiress Pampered" novel couldn't reach. I just want to say, are all primary and secondary school students this amazing these days? ② The second book, let's avoid it for now, is a dual-male protagonist story. Wow, the second book is a really good book, it's just not widely known. The second book is set in a cultivation world, the protagonist is Shen Zhuo, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and the other male lead is the demigod Chang Ming. I think the most heartbreaking couple in this book is Xue Junmi and Qin Huang, because they are both cultivators. And the world's rules dictate that sword cultivators must find an event to conquer the Dao, and only by defeating the Trial Sword Stone can you conquer the Dao. Qin Huang is a complete monster among monsters. ③ I believe many people have read the third book, "One Dog, Two Girls, Three Soil, Four Pile, Five Flowers." I was completely drawn to this book because later on, One Dog's original name was Gu Yuan, but the protagonist changed his name to One Dog to prevent him from turning back. That's what attracted me. It's a bit funny but also very touching, especially One Dog. One Dog has very few chapters, but he is completely my white moonlight. I cried so much. He and his master didn't even talk much before he was gone. But One Dog's death was the most peaceful. He lived until he died. But I suddenly felt that One Dog's lifespan was so short for the protagonist. He was gone in just three or four chapters.

    Family, I highly recommend this! You won't regret reading it!!! The first world's script is very heartbreaking. Qingqing is wonderful, and my Qi Luan is wonderful too. I cried so much when the sister lost Qingqing at the end. The sister even forgot Qingqing in the end, so tragic! Seriously, sisters who like a little angst are in for a treat. The second one is okay. Qingqing's health isn't good; she's a sickly little white lotus, who understands? The male lead keeps teaching the female lead to rebel, but it ends badly. I absolutely love the third one. Qingqing becomes a god directly. Who doesn't love a goddess? I really love Yue Su. I've read six worlds so far, but I truly love this book. I've been suffering from a reading slump for so long, and I've finally found a good book!!! Every script Qingqing writes is excellent. After reading it, I always feel like I haven't had enough. All the worlds end badly, and I cried so much. I highly recommend it!!! (I like the first and third worlds the most).

    The first book is about the tragedy of immortality, where all living beings are buried except for one.
