   Some of you are really something! (Give this unfortunate author's novel a rating!) After reading this novel, I realized that the top-ranked and recommended lists are just for storybooks; this is a true novel. Moreover, its quality reaches the level of historical fiction and serious drama, possessing the potential to be a timeless classic. If it were adapted into a TV series, this novel would be unparalleled! I guarantee it with three readings and even a handstand while peeing! This novel is high-quality, intellectually stimulating, not mindless, logically sound, and features brilliant character portrayals! "Emperor Renzu of Tang" is a nearly million-word novel that concluded in mid-September, with all foreshadowing resolved, all plot holes filled, and no disappointing ending. I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author summarizes the entire novel, which will aid in reading. The author's writing style, word choice, plot structure, imperial strategies, political maneuvering, emotional nuances, military warfare, court intrigue, and governance are all top-notch. His writing is astonishing, his scope grand, his themes lofty, his thoughts profound, his knowledge solid, his cultural background deep, and his political maneuvering top-notch.

    Both of these books are amazing so far (not finished). The first one might have a smaller audience, but it's incredibly exciting and hilarious, with brilliantly used jokes! It'll make you chuckle unexpectedly, and then the laughter just keeps getting better, guys. The second one, needless to say, is full of superpowers, exciting, and incredibly thrilling, especially the latest update's dungeon – it had me screaming "oohs!" It's both abstract and exhilarating. In summary: ① Both books are high-quality with solid logic. The writing style of the first book is relatively mature, concise, and effective (the author is definitely a veteran's alt account); the second is more action-packed. ② The character development is absolutely successful! The supporting characters aren't just background figures! They're fleshed out, showcasing their choices, and you see real, living people. [Sending hearts] ③ Both books have dungeon-crawling plots, but as mentioned in points one and two, this contributes to the overall excellence of the stories. I'm still a high school senior, but honestly, the stories in both books, with their themes of good and evil, and the desire to protect or hope, truly made me reflect and think after reading them. ④ The biggest problem with these two books is that they're both too short. If there aren't any more big updates, I'll have to put them on hold, haha! [Staring emoji] Keep it up! [Heart emoji] [heart emoji] To everyone who's read this far...
