He once sneaked a look at two and a half lines of a heavenly scripture in the Five Thunder Hall on Mount Longhu, and often compared himself to Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang. Unfortunately, he was short on luck and blessings, and no matter how capable he was, he didn’t dare put his skills to use. But he couldn’t bear to live in poverty and hardship either, so whenever he got the chance, he’d stir up trouble. In the end, he not only failed to make any money, but 3.3kReads9.5Score660Shelves

   The first book is a hilarious cultivation novel. The protagonist, with his overpowered cheat codes and outrageous antics, stirs up a "freebie-hunting" storm in the cultivation world! The plot is lighthearted and funny, full of imaginative ideas, and flows smoothly. He unlocks a survival system at the beginning, with various memes popping up one after another, perfectly reflecting the state of mind of contemporary young people. If you like reading stories where the protagonist is constantly cheating and the villains are beaten to a pulp, this book will definitely make you laugh until your stomach hurts! The second book is a "life-or-death" + "grind-and-survive" story. Although it's simple, it's not boring. It requires patience to read. It's about a blind man's cultivation journey. The characters are all vividly portrayed and well-developed. After reading it, you'll feel a strong aftertaste. Life is like the protagonist's path to cultivation; the ordinary is the true essence. The third book is truly my white moonlight when it comes to comedy novels. No matter how strong you are, Ye Qiao is the king of comebacks. He leads all his disciples down the path of no return. The content is very novel, with a lot of outrageous antics. There's nothing Ye Qiao can't do, only things you can't imagine. In short, highly recommended!

Self-discipline tasks are divided into single and double tasks, with double tasks yielding ten times the reward of single tasks. ② In the Blue Star world, Su Chen has been transmigrated for two and a half years. Finally, just before the college entrance exam, he awakens his own cheat system—the Achievement System. Not only can he forcibly contract wild monsters, but he can even force-contract other people's contracted monsters! ③ In the Lord's Era, starting with a raft, all resources are scavenged. Only those who survive are qualified to go to the island and become lords. From a single raft to a vast island empire, the protagonist Ning Fan's territory grows larger and larger.

    Reader note

    These three books are all highly recommended by me, they're incredibly good!! The first one is a female-centric novel, very sweet, the female lead is exceptionally clear-headed and intelligent. The latter two are short, angsty stories, truly heart-wrenching, making me cry buckets in the middle of the night, the aftertaste is very strong. I strongly recommend the first one! I'm usually very impatient when reading, but I genuinely finished these three in one go.
