   Advantages: ①The perspective of the male protagonist, the character is well written, decisive in killing, the good guys will be saved if they can, and the bad guys will not be spared, so they take responsibility. ② Don't abuse the protagonist. The male and female protagonists have T1 combat power when they appear. You can say that the protagonist has too many enemies, but I really don't accept stories that abuse the protagonist. ③The emotional line is slow but enjoyable, the 1v1 is smooth and there are no vulgar descriptions. The male protagonist is a very capable and all-round character, but he acts clumsy in front of the female protagonist. The female protagonist pretends to be sweet and gentle in front of others, but she is always teasing the male protagonist. They are close comrades who fight against CP on a daily basis but at critical moments. There is no bloody and stomach-ache drama. ④The author personally promises that everyone will enjoy reading the article and will not easily let the main and supporting characters go offline. Authors with this understanding must give a thumbs up😄👍🏻. ⑤The fighting scenes are very, very exciting, and the folklore and supernatural parts are also very attractive. I have read more than a thousand chapters, but I haven't started cultivating immortality like other folklore and supernatural novels. ⑥ There are many foreshadowings and the explanations are self-explanatory, and it can be seen that the author is a veteran. Disadvantages: ① The events are arranged too tightly one after another, and reading them in one breath will make people feel tired. Could the author write more emotional dramas between the male and female protagonists or the daily interactions of the protagonist group, and relax appropriately (but from another angle, it can also be said that the author is more incompetent and is just promoting the plot). Summary: If you like folklore and supernatural writing, this article is definitely worth reading!

    When blood words appeared on the blackboard and unknown footsteps sounded in the midnight corridor, the youth of ordinary high school student Su Yuan was completely torn apart. Urban ghost stories turned into life-threatening rules, and the traces of the deceased were erased from the world - a death game of "eternal night" with the campus as a cage suddenly descended. The protagonist group faces supernatural killing situations such as ghost eyes and protein puzzles. In desperation, they use cooperation and resourcefulness to find a way out, but gradually come into contact with the world-destroying conspiracy behind the spread of spiritual resentment. Early highlights: The strange stories in the closed campus are materialized, the escape logic is as strict as walking on a blade, and every decision is related to life and death. Intertwining campus innocence with unspeakable fear, the teenagers ignite the glimmer of light with their flesh and blood in the darkness where the neon has faded. This novel is different from other novels. The dialogue between the protagonist and his companions is full of humor, but the things between them are also touching. When the world deletes your existence, your soul makes me feel at ease by my side.
