    The first book is my favorite. The protagonist is smart but not stupid, does not talk nonsense and has a virgin heart. He is growing, powerful, and has no cp. It won my heart. The author's writing pattern is very large, and countless branches are integrated to form the protagonist's main line. No matter what kind of small storyline, it can't stop the protagonist from becoming a great person. All in all, this book is worthy of me reading more times. I really like it as a person who doesn't like second reading. The plot of this second book is low-key and high-speed. You may find it average or even boring at first, but the more you read, the more interesting it becomes. The author's writing style is also very good (ps: I suspect that the author has been a screenwriter or something like this). There are many smooth transitions in it that people love. It is mainly weird, and there are surprises behind the identity of the heroine. Anyway, overall it is a more interesting book as I read it, and it is still being serialized. I have read more than 1,400 chapters and find it very interesting. Ps: No cp. The third book is the one I read while waiting for the update of the second one. I think it's quite interesting. I haven't finished it yet. There is no cp in the background setting. The heroine is a woman disguised as a man to take part in the scientific examination. She has a golden finger like Xiao Huijitian. Alas, I can't write it because the ink is limited. Anyway, it is a clear and logical article. I like the heroine's intelligence and methods very much. It is not an ordinary mindless novel. It involves a lot of ancient scientific examination knowledge points. The author is very rigorous in writing...

    This is a counterattack epic written for all "mortals". It tells us that there are no doomed ants on the road to immortality. The real strong people are the wise men who can still seize a glimmer of hope in desperate situations. If you are tired of the mindless plot of Long Aotian and long for a strategic game with rigorous logic; if you yearn for the magnificence and mystery of the world of immortality, but also look forward to the growth of a more down-to-earth protagonist; if you believe that the struggles and brilliance of small characters are also worthy of writing - then Chen Changsheng's Wasted Alchemy Room is a new world of immortality that you cannot miss. Click to read and see how a grain of dust stirs up the wind and clouds in the sky, and witness the legend of immortality written by mortals with wisdom and perseverance!
