New books: My Years as a Lawyer in the Demon Realm and A Fallen Kingdom Princess's Guide to Nation-Building. Check out my author page!
Luo Jia is the last necromancer on the continent, and the most powerful necromancer in history.
She thought her life would be like this: punch vampires, kick paladins, be treated as an honored guest by emperors and kings, be revered by thousands wherever she went, and have no shortage of money or fame.
In reality, her life is like this: risking life and limb for commissions worth a few hundred gold coins, having her final payment withheld over the slightest mistake, getting chased by dogs when she goes to demand her wages, and receiving a random wanted notice if she makes her aristocratic client angry.
After half a year traveling the continent, she has barely saved any gold coins, but she's accumulated nearly half a dozen wanted notices.
Being a worker these days isn't easy. Luo Jia reflects on her situation and decides the problem isn't her.
Her clients must be the problem.
She decides to find herself a good employer who won't withhold her pay, set dogs on her, or issue a wanted notice against her.

Cataclysm Continent is a large-scale, fully immersive fantasy RPG, set in medieval Europe during the era of ancient Earth. Players can adventure to their hearts' content in a world of swords and magic.
The trailer's release sets the whole interstellar community abuzz, and preorders instantly exceed a hundred million.
On launch day, however, an unknown bug hits the game System, which is on the verge of total collapse.
The creator, Gervil, enters the world of Cataclysm Continent to find the source of the collapse and save the world.
But something goes wrong with the way he enters. He becomes a ghost who can't touch anything, and his world-saving mission is over before it even begins.
Gervil refuses to sit around and wait for his end.
He decides to find himself a sufficiently powerful agent to help him complete the main quests and save the world.
As luck would have it, he meets a necromancer in the starting village who looks very powerful.
Gervil: "Hey, could I have a moment? I'd like to tell you..."
Luo Jia cuts him off gloomily. "How is the pay calculated? Do you keep dogs at home? Have you ever issued a wanted notice against anyone?"
Gervil: "...In-game rewards are paid out immediately. I'm a cat person, so I don't keep dogs. And I've never issued a wanted notice."
Luo Jia smiles.
"Deal," she says. "I'm glad we met."
"My new employer."
Gervil thinks that after teaming up with a necromancer, all he has to do is sit back and get carried.
Until...
"This is a mission with two options. A woman has gone missing. One brother wants to kill her, the other wants to save her. Who will you help?"
Luo Jia: "The one who wants to kill her is paying me 500 gold coins. The one who wants to save her is paying me 1,600. So I choose..."
"To save her?"
"No, I choose both."
Gervil: "..."
"This is a mission to find a ghost. You've come to a run-down theater on behalf of your client... Wait, what are you doing?"
Luo Jia haggles with the theater owner. "Look, I'll get rid of the ghost in your theater. I'm not even asking for much, just 8,000!"
Gervil breaks down. "The theater owner isn't the client! You did one job. How can you charge two people?"
"This is a difficult choice between killing and sparing. You've encountered the heir of an enemy nation, who looks close to death. Do you kill him or let him go?"
"Not only will I spare him, I'll save him, take him back to the capital to seize power, and completely overturn the enemy nation's political order."
Gervil: "..."
Gervil: "Your former clients really weren't wrong about you."
"Life is getting more and more like a courtroom."
"Can I still cancel the contract?"

The Demon Realm's Legal System in Action
After moving into a new office building, Lan Qingqing's law firm starts receiving some very unusual clients.
A gorgeous woman with a curvy figure and captivating eyes: Attorney Lan, my husband got a civil service job and now wants to divorce me and take our two children. What should I do?
Lan Qingqing: A child custody dispute. Which of you has greater financial means? Who usually looks after the children, their paternal grandparents or their maternal grandparents?
The beauty smiles shyly and lifts the two fluffy white creatures in her lap. "I'm richer than him, and I raise the children myself."
Lan Qingqing: ...For pets, please follow the property division process. Thanks.
A striking woman with the delicate scent of flowers: Attorney Lan, I bought a house at the flower and bird market, but it turned out to be falsely advertised. The new house can't drain water! When I went to complain, the seller said the deal was final and there would be no refunds or exchanges!
Lan Qingqing perks up. "Which real estate agency at the flower and bird market is so brazen? Bring me your purchase contract and I'll take a look."
The woman fumes. "There's no need to look at the contract. I brought the house with me."
Lan Qingqing: ?
The woman thumps an antique-looking flowerpot onto the desk, lifts her skirt to show Lan Qingqing a rash covering her calf, and says, "Look! There's no drainage hole, and now my roots are rotting!"
Lan Qingqing, expressionless: "For consumer rights complaints, call 12315."
A man with bright red hair, a gloomy expression, and fin-shaped tattoos behind his ears: Attorney Lan, she and I are in love, but her parents disapprove of our marriage and took her away from me.
Lan Qingqing: "Forcibly interfering with someone's freedom to marry is a private prosecution offense. Does the woman plan to sue?"
The man: "I was furious, so I went to her house to demand an explanation. Her brother tried to hack me to pieces, and she took a knife for me and died in my arms. Ha ha, heaven is unjust. Who can get justice for me? My wife is dead, so I'll kill everyone in the world..."
Lan Qingqing reaches for the phone. "Hello, I'd like to speak to Officer Wang. Someone here is trying to endanger public safety by dangerous means..."
The man: "...I'll make the entire Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea pay for her death!"
Lan Qingqing: .
Lan Qingqing: "It's fine. This is an inter-realm crime, so it falls outside our jurisdiction."
To earn more commission fees and support herself, Lan Qingqing starts helping the demons and monsters who live in modern society with their legal problems.
She helps a spider spirit find a job, a peony immortal rent a place, and a koi immortal resolve a labor dispute.
She helps a fox spirit with a divorce suit, a Pixiu improve its working conditions, and a Taotie get in touch with a viral livestreaming company that develops food streamers.
Before she knows it, she's become the number one lawyer in the demon realm.
Lan Qingqing humbly says, "I'm just an ordinary legal professional."
A Fallen Kingdom Princess's Guide to Nation-Building
Liu Lingyue transmigrates into a book and becomes the tragic princess of a fallen kingdom.
She is the emperor's favorite daughter, and he has high hopes for her. He even defies convention and intends to pass his empire and throne on to her.
But she insists on marrying the male lead, giving up both power and the throne. All she wants is to support her husband, raise his children, and cook for him.
The emperor can't withstand her crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening to hang herself, so he grants her and the male lead permission to marry.
Eight years later, the emperor dies, the court falls into turmoil, and the Northern Di seize the opportunity to invade in force.
The male lead, now turned cruel, holds the princess captive, opens the city gates to welcome the Northern Di into the capital, then offers the princess as a tribute and divides the land with the Northern Di, splitting the country in two.
Unable to bear the humiliation, the princess hides a gold hairpin and uses it to assassinate the Northern Di's Left Worthy Prince in his tent. Then she takes her own life in sacrifice for her country.
When Liu Lingyue transmigrates, her original self is in the middle of crying, throwing a tantrum, and threatening to hang herself to force the emperor to arrange her marriage to that worthless man.
She's already reached the final stage. A white silk sash is hanging, and her neck is through the loop.
The emperor rushes in, terrified out of his wits, and cries, "My child, this is no joke! Come down! I'll grant your marriage to that young man!"
Liu Lingyue grips the white sash and gazes into the distance.
"Father, I have a dream."
I dream of a day when the fields of Xia are filled with rice yielding a thousand catties per mu, and trains thunder past the fields. The factories in the cities produce tens of millions of goods every day, and merchant ships stream through busy harbors. The sound of reading fills the schools, and everyone lives and works in peace, their faces glowing with happiness. Then I will proudly point to any place and say: Look, this is our empire.
The Chronicle of Emperor Shizong of Xia
Theme: Only love can touch the truth
After watching it for two nights, I finally finished it. The ending is indeed a bit rushed. It feels like there are still many things that have not been explained about the relationship between the heroine and her teacher, and the heroine and the male protagonist in the background. But the process is beautiful enough. A hymn of death is composed for life. The author is really, really talented. (,)
The ending is a bit rushed but overall it's very enjoyable. It's an excellent Western fantasy work. From the very beginning of the Novice Village, it feels like you are really following the protagonist in an RPG game. As the plot gradually unfolds and deepens, it also feels like you are watching the rise and fall of a world with the protagonist as the starting point. The character design is also very good. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, even the villain (there is no villain in the actual sense) is well-characterized. It can be said that it is really a good-looking group portrait novel. During the adventure of following the protagonist, I get to know all kinds of people and encounter various incidents and solve them one by one. Every little story The events follow each other step by step. Of course, this is normal for an RPG game, but the occurrence of each event is very reasonable and each event affects each other. It is really good to read it all in one go. Thank you to the author for your efforts, so that we can see such an excellent work, and the ending is full of flowers! (Spoiler alert) But I still have to say that the teacher is actually a well-characterized character. The teacher's personality is very good, from being an excellent alchemist, to being affected by the dragon slaying and becoming weak and afraid of taking away the fate of the elves, to blaming himself for seeking solutions and becoming crazy... The image of the teacher passing by is very profound, but the teacher is not very clear in the ending. What happened to the teacher after Luojia returned his destiny to the elves, what happened to the other elves, and the dragon on the other side of the mountain, all came to an abrupt end with the end of the article. When I first read it, I thought there were a lot of chapters 172, but I got really excited and finished it in two days. After reading it, I just wished it wasn't chapter 272 or even chapter 372. Every link is fascinating, and it's finished once again!
I thought the three climaxes of the plot were the dragon slaying, the killing of Grand Duke Sanglan, and the solution to the immortality of the elves, but I didn't expect that they were all covered in such a hurry. Including the male protagonist after slaying the dragon, he rarely appears. I feel that the later plot is too fast. Everything else is well written.
Many areas were handled too hastily. Although there are regrets, overall the flaws are not concealed. It's rare to see such a good Western fantasy work on the Internet. It's just because it's so good that I think the author's writing power could have made it better and more perfect, so I made this evaluation. But it's enough to make me think about it for a long time.
The column preview contains "The rule of law in the demon world is in progress" and "My love robbery has reached the heaven". Take a look and take a look. Don't miss it if you pass by~
The writing is great, but the sudden emotional line and the thin presence of the God of Creation male protagonist are a bit baffling. I feel that friendship is far better than so-called love.
The mystery of immortality, which has laid the foundation for at least 120 chapters, has been brought up in one stroke, and it can be solved in just a few words. It's really hard to catch up, but my wife's writing is really good. If you have the chance, can you make a sequel? I really like this work, and I can't bear to see such a grand framework end so hastily?
Although it ends in a synopsis, at least it is a good ending. I am very grateful to the author for bringing this epic western fantasy world.
I came here from the new article that the author is serializing. I read this book in one go and was shocked by the thousands of collections. I went back and read the details of the novel, and I seemed to understand something. It is a gentle and romantic story with some sadness, but it is paired with a relaxed and refreshing copywriting. The character who occupies almost half of the text is an indispensable but inconspicuous shadow in the main text. Perhaps a more appropriate introduction can allow more target readers to cross the threshold. I sincerely hope that the author can one day achieve the praise he deserves.
It's a very, very good book, but I feel like I'm really lacking in the current results. The writing is good, the adventure process is very gripping, and the female characters are particularly charming. My impression of the princess has also experienced a spiraling upward process. Although there is a slight regret, the heroine is always traveling, really blowing gently like the wind, neither participating nor staying. Of course, she actually did a lot of things... But the people in the world still live the same life. Although there is magnificent magic in this world, the existence of magic has no effect on the lives of the people - except for being massacred. Thinking of this will make you feel a little regretful. However, the whole article is still well-conceived and meaningful, and it is worth recalling.
