   "I'm Not a Drama God" is another masterpiece by Sanjiu. It has a detailed conception of the world and is also interesting. It is a real tomato book. This work deviates from the original writing style, but it is still the limit of this segment. The villain's character and grand world view are not inferior to the top-notch reversal plot of "Ziu Wangdao". Characters, era background, plot development, environmental rendering, fighting, intangible cultural heritage, and possible reading thresholds, these things are integrated together to create this pinnacle work. Really beautiful, highly recommended! Completely meets the requirements! No CP at the moment. The protagonist's eccentric appearance fits my mental state very well. I like this kind of decisive, rational and emotional person. The contradictions, confusion, difficulties, hope and despair are all perfectly reflected in this book. The writing is compact, the plot is very attractive, the characters are vividly drawn, and it is very beautiful. Civilization regresses, and the gray world descends with the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragging the civilized world into an endless abyss. With this as the background, a young man in a red opera robe stands in the ruins, "the show... Begins." The setting of the book "The Lost City of Alien Beasts" is very novel. What would it be like if there were less than 200 people living in a world with hundreds of thousands of beasts? What should you do if your friends and relatives around you are all beasts that want to eat you? Moreover, the whole book is neither stupid nor stupid, the plot is reasonable, and it is suspenseful. It is really worth reading. The label is no cp, but the author writes that the relationship between Qing Ling and the male protagonist is quite obvious. Qing Ling is also an awakened person. She is beautiful and has great skills, but because she awakened at a very young age, she has always felt insecure and only wants to become stronger. There is another personality in her body, Qing Ling. Qing Ling is not hostile to the world, so she protects Qing Ling from being discovered by the beast to another extent. The male protagonist Gao Yang is a time traveler. He traveled to this world when he was six years old and woke up due to some things at the age of 18. When he woke up, he was attacked by his childhood sweetheart (a beast disguised as a human) and was saved by Qing Ling, a girl from the same school. In the early stage, Gao Yang and Qing Ling upgrade to fight monsters, and also have some campus plots. The male protagonist has no fighting ability in the early stage, but he is smart and thoughtful, and occasionally likes to complain. Although he is afraid of beasts, he cannot let go of his feelings for his family. He slowly grows up with such contradictory feelings, and his combat effectiveness becomes very strong in the mid-term, making him a leader among awakened humans.

    After failing the college entrance examination, he took over his father's civilian mold factory and tied it to a super military black technology system. In the novel, the protagonist used this system to produce nuclear-powered aircraft carrier-grade material molds, which shocked the scientific research community. Later, he became an arms supplier, selling high-precision super rocket launcher barrels, shocking and panicking the Eagle Country. "Eagle Sauce" here is a nickname for a certain country, usually used to refer to the United States, while "scared to tears" is an exaggerated expression of the country's strong reaction and shock to the protagonist's behavior. This expression has become popular on the Internet and is used to humorously describe certain surprising or shocking plots or events.
