So many novels these days are all about showing off and face-slapping, with side characters making stupid, snide remarks. Otherwise, they’re always doubting the protagonist, as if the protagonist naturally inspires everyone’s hatred. In real life, even if people don’t believe you, they wouldn’t say it out loud and invite trouble. This is so frustrating.

The first book uses mortal bones to subjugate demons, eliminate demons, move mountains, and fill the sea... The second book is about survival in secret rooms, death games, battle royales... These... Are just the beginning... The third book "I can't retreat, because there are tens of millions of people behind me..." If you don't believe anyone, what will you choose for the rest of your life after walking out of Sin City? Nice

It is a high-quality novel with new themes, a hard-core work for men in science and engineering, low-end, high-end, and slow-burning, magical, realistic, suspenseful, and brain-burning. The writing is eye-catching and logical, the narrative is funny but not procrastinating, and there is no cheat code for the time-travel and rebirth system. The content covers history, workplace, military, scientific research, national security, criminal investigation, scheming, murder, as well as high-tech espionage, hacker warfare, and aerospace electronic warfare. The ending has a profound reversal and is tailor-made for old bookworms. If it doesn't look good, I will kill myself to death!

The work is based on political intrigue and incorporates elements such as time travel and feelings of family and country. The plot is compact and full of tension. Through the main line of dual-power characters and technological power, the author constructs a novel worldview that is both in line with the historical framework and with modern thinking. If you like the combination of power struggle and powerful country and military, this work is worth reading. ‌ No pretense, no slap in the face, no space or system, logic and IQ.

... "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep... Seven sheep." "One, two, three... Seven, eight, eight..." On the boundless grassland, a little girl with an upturned braid on her head, sniffling due to the strong wind, struggled to count the group of sheep in front of her. There were supposed to be nine sheep, but she counted them again and again, and found that they were either seven or eight, and she didn't know whether she had lost one or two.

I thought it was interesting and funny. The beginning of the chapter describes the life of the male protagonist who was teased by the author of the novel. Later, the author washed his hair with cow dung. Then he awakened the system and threw the author of the novel into the novel to trick him into marrying a calf from the Minotaur tribe. Now the latest chapter feels like the male protagonist of the novel will encounter a terrifying supernatural event in reality.

Both of these books are anti-routine, anti-cool, and even anti-climax. There is no time travel, no system, no intelligence, no brainless fun, no romance, and no cheats. It can be regarded as avoiding the cliché plot. The logic is tight and the writing is excellent. It can closely integrate war, economy, politics, and resources organically. The machinations are cold and the battlefield is exciting. Highly recommended.
