A young boy mistakenly enters the beast world, and his supernatural powers awaken to start a passionate adventure 📖"The Lost City of Strange Beasts" | Written by Peng Pai | Youth Literature Fantasy Novel ✨After reading "The Lost City of Strange Beasts" in one go, I feel like I followed the protagonist Gao Yang on a crazy adventure in the misty world. My mind is still buzzing because of all those wonderful plots! 🌟The protagonist Gao Yang was originally an ordinary high school student, living an ordinary life. But on his eighteenth birthday, he accidentally discovered that the world was full of strange beasts disguised as humans! The relatives and friends around him may also be beasts hiding their identities. This setting is really amazing. If you put yourself in the role, if you find that everyone around you is hiding secrets, that feeling will be both exciting and scary. 💥After Gao Yang awakened, he turned on the "luck" system. This setting is also very creative. The longer he lives, the stronger he becomes, giving him the confidence to survive in this dangerous world. After that, he and his friends joined the Awakened Guild and began their passionate journey to find the truth and fight against the alien beasts. Along the way, they experienced countless life and death tests. Every battle was thrilling, and the showdown of various talents and skills was dizzying. 🥺Apart from the bloody battles, what moved me the most was the emotional lines in the book. When Gao Yang found out that his sister and brother had awakened their beast form and stood on the opposite side of him, family members and friends who were once close to each other were now facing each other at war. The helplessness and heartache were really heart-wrenching. I couldn't help but cry for them when I saw this. But it is these emotional bonds that strengthen Gao Yang's belief in saving mankind, making people feel the brilliance of humanity and the power of love. The author Peng Pai is really good at writing, vividly showing the complexity of human nature, the confrontation between good and evil, and the struggle against fate. Moreover, his foreshadowing is super deep. Many seemingly insignificant details in the early stage become key clues later on, making people unable to resist reading it in one go to uncover all the truth.

I have followed the first book and I am still reading it. The protagonist is not Long Aotian. The author has a great world view and each chapter of the protagonist is also well described. Although there are some poisonous points, I can feel that the author is also improving from the writing style. The other protagonists are well described and have distinct personalities. None of them exist to set off the protagonist. If you really want to follow this book, calm down and read this book. I highly recommend it!

39 我 I Use Illusions to Control the World Six GourdsUrban1.1M WordsCompleted 146.6kReads9.4Score17.5kShelves

Reader note

It is an urban supernatural novel that combines "waste's counterattack" and "brain illusion". The protagonist, Lu Li, was trapped in a wheelchair due to accidental paralysis, but when he was about to die, he awakened his "illusion gene". From then on, he used his wheelchair as a position to crush his enemies with his unconstrained illusion ability. The story revolves around how he transformed from a "cripple" who was ridiculed to a "king of illusions" who controls the spirit and reality. The main plot interweaves campus turmoil, urban conspiracy and the struggle in the supernatural world. Its highlights are: The anti-routine use of wheelchairs: wheelchairs are not only transportation tools, but also become "amplification devices" for illusions (such as the wheels of wheelchairs releasing mental waves and the backrest embedded with illusion talisman arrays). The ultimate imagination of illusions: The protagonist is good at combining daily objects with illusions (such as using snack bags to create space traps, using wheelchairs to crush to trigger chain illusions), and the battle is full of imagination and humor. Anti-traditional growth line: The protagonist refuses physical enhancement, focuses on developing spiritual powers, infinitely breaks through the bottleneck through "illusion simulation and actual combat", and finally reveals the dark experiments behind the global supernatural organization.
