   Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [Crying] I'm crying so much. It's been a long time since I've read an abuse article. Is this micro-abuse? I cried to death. My heart was throbbing and my heart ached when I read it at night. I wonder if the author would describe it so delicately. It would take a long time for me to adjust to it. Author, did you burst into tears when you wrote it? Or were you still like Mo Yan, thinking that we would burst into tears, you laughed so hard, oooooooooooooooo, you still wanted to cry. "Don't listen to the rain in the empty mountain. Someone is praying for longevity." There is obviously love between the lines, and the two tough-talking guys whine.

   ### "The Lost City of Alien Beasts": A fantasy journey in the fog and the exploration of human nature. "The Lost City of Alien Beasts" is a work that combines urban supernatural powers, a time-travel system and fantasy elements. It has won the love of many readers with its unique world view setting and rich character creation. The novel constructs a mysterious city full of strange beasts and fog. The coexistence and conflict between humans and beasts form the core background of the story. In this world, the protagonist Gao Yang gradually grows from an ordinary high school student to a brave and fearless awakener, leading readers to experience a thrilling adventure. The most eye-catching aspect of the novel is its novel and vast worldview setting. The author skillfully interweaves the real world with the world of alien beasts, and reveals the secrets hidden behind the city through a progressive plot. The strange beasts in the foggy world, the innate abilities of the awakened ones, and various complex character relationships create a stage that is both dangerous and full of unknowns. In addition, the constantly reversing plot and tight rhythm in the novel make the reading process full of tension and excitement, making people unable to put it down. In terms of character creation, "The Lost City" also performs well. As the protagonist, Gao Yang's growth process runs throughout the book. From his initial ignorance to his later bravery and responsibility, each stage is described in detail and vividly. The supporting characters also have their own characteristics. Whether they are teammates fighting alongside Gao Yang or enemies hiding in the dark, they all have distinctive personalities and complex inner worlds. This rich characterization enhances the sense of substitution and emotional resonance of the story. In addition to the wonderful plot and characterization, the novel also deeply explores the complexity of human nature and the power of love. In this world where falsehood and reality intertwine, the boundaries between humans and beasts become blurred, and the glory and darkness of human nature are magnified. The author shows the kindness, bravery, selfishness and fear in human nature through the fate and choices of different characters. Especially in the protagonist Gao Yang, we see how the power of love and hope supports him to move forward in difficult situations. However, "The Lost City" is not perfect. Some readers pointed out that the writing style in the early stages of the novel was a bit immature and some plots were procrastinating. In addition, some settings in the later plot are a bit hasty, such as the proliferation of resurrection potions and the too-quick understanding of talents, which makes part of the story's logic slightly far-fetched. Despite this, these minor flaws do not affect the overall reading experience. The novel still attracts readers with its unique charm and profound connotation. Overall, "The Lost City" is a fantasy novel worth reading. It not only brings a visual and spiritual feast to readers with its novel setting and compact plot, but also arouses readers' thinking through its profound human portrayal and emotional expression. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, love and hope have become mankind's most valuable assets. Perhaps, as the novel says: "This world is fake, but love is real." "The Lost City" tells us with its story that no matter what situation we are in, love is always our most solid support.

    You can tell just by looking at the titles of these books, I really cried. In the first one, the heroine got sick and died on the waterway back to her parents' home. The hero just wanted her to go home and relax, but he never thought that from then on, Yin and Yang were separated. He hated himself for not saving the heroine and not seeing her for the last time, until it became an obsession... There are two endings, you can choose. The second and third books are BE. They were too long ago and I didn't dare to read them carefully. The writing is not good, especially the third one. I didn't expect that it was just an illusion of the male protagonist in the end...
