   This is definitely the first book about a male protagonist who abuses a man, "Walking into the Tibetan Area by Mistakenly, Invoking Wild Dogs and Unable to Escape". I haven't seen such a pure male abuse novel for a long time. There are more Tomato abuse novels about women, and most of them are considered novel in subject matter. However, the male protagonist of the Xiong Jing novel suffers hardships. Suffering is considered normal. If the heroine of a female competing novel endures hardship and the female protagonist of a male competing novel continues to endure hardship, then the heroine's suffering will really be endless. Moreover, the characters of the two male protagonists are not dough-like and have no edges, so the competition will definitely be fierce.

    This book is also good. The protagonist of the standard fairy tales (qi refining, foundation building, pill formation, Yuanying, god transformation, and integration) comes from time to time and practices and experiences step by step.

    Of these three palace-fighting and house-fighting books, the first one, Song Wan, made me want to live out the lives of each character after reading it. I haven't found a similar book so far. You may not find it interesting at first, but if you stick with it, it will become more and more exciting. I recommend it! . The second book, Lu Songli, watched her grow into Emperor Lu step by step. It's been a long time since I read it. The specific content is a bit vague, but it should be quite interesting. I've finished reading it. The third one, I really want to say it's a double-strength one! They all have mouths, and the male protagonist is really good, one of the few fair people in the world. I recommend him! (I feel like many novels only end with marriage)
