Bestseller Author PTSD Survivor
I sample books every day, but I don't recommend ones that are too new. I try to make sure the storytelling and writing are above average. I especially enjoy fantasy, otherworldly game settings, historical fiction, and territory-building stories. I'm fed up with the trend of building entire novels around a golden finger. Serious writers should create a world with solid foundations, then let well-rounded characters drive the story forward. Of course, most people don't have the ability or time for

I have read almost all the family novels by Qidian. It seems that each author is writing a new book for the first time. In other words, all the books written by this kind of author seem to be newbies, but the gap here is simply appalling! The family named Wang is the most like a family, so the description of the protagonist is better than the average description of the protagonist in general novels, so it definitely does not suit some people! ,,,,,, Let's talk about the person named Shen and the person named Ye. These two have the same general feeling. The author seems to be a "real novice"! The plot is too rigid. When trying to describe the family's early sufferings, the older generation of the family is not afraid of hardship or sacrifice, but they may really be a little less powerful, so the plot feels too unnatural and poor. The one with the surname Lu was my first time reading a book about family literature. Because it was my first time, it attracted me so much that I later got into all the family books. However, I saw that the comments about him in the comment section were not very friendly! But this is my first time, so I may not feel it, so I don't feel the same way, so I won't comment. Anyway, I think it's at least average! After all, it is the first time🤓🤓. There is also the penultimate one, the one surnamed Han, I can say it directly, I think I will be very firm in my opinion, he must have the shortcomings of the surnamed Shen and the surnamed Ye! But he also has a taboo in novels. The basic logic is often contradictory. The distance between several islands is easily a few earth-moon distances, which makes me... (I can imagine that the distance between the earth and the moon is more than 300,000 kilometers...). It is still in the early stage, and it has been updated once a day, every 10 o'clock. If it weren't for the eunuch named Chen, this book would definitely be the last one. If you don't believe it, but there is a shortage of books in family literature, don't read it! If you don't believe it, you will be poisoned to death. What will you do? Anyway, this guy surnamed Han has the highest level of poison, I can absolutely guarantee that! Finally, let's talk about this book! I used to think it was among the top three in the family category! But now I find that these colleagues seem to be like that. Now that I have read the family streams from almost all starting points, I personally think it is number one! Don't say that I'm just a fake author because I write so much. I've written my thoughts on many novels, and many of them have received positive reviews! And I have been keeping this book recently because I have no choice but to read it as the others are not as good as it! But the recommendation votes are also provided every day, and they have been for several months! To sum up, I have really seen all the Qidian family streams that I can see before I dare to come and comment! Absolutely objective! If you are reading the first few family novels, I really think you don't need to read the last few. The routines are almost the same, and they are worse than the previous ones. It is also good to look for other novels if you have this time! The last 4, especially the second to last (the last one is because of the eunuch, I can't help it, but the writing is pretty good). After reading it, I really found that I was going crazy! Similar routines are available in previous books, but the key is to use poison! This is uncomfortable! But I don't dare to comment until I've finished reading it! Finally, the author, considering the hard work of typing, the comments are fair! Give it a shot! 🤓🤓🤓
I saw someone in the comment area saying that this book can be ranked among the top three novels about cultivating immortal families. . I read it carefully, and I don't want to brag about it. This book is the kind of book where one person can lead a whole family. . 70% Of mortals + 30% of families! It can be said that the content related to the family is more in the front and less in the back. . There were also quite a few scenes that seemed familiar to me while watching it. . You should understand. . There's just nothing new. . The above are some objective problems. I personally feel that as long as the writing is good, there is nothing that cannot be beat even if it is a high imitation. . Just like Wenzhao Gong. . Actually, I care more about this than the above issues. . I don't know if anyone has discovered that the plot after the protagonist builds the foundation is driven by the protagonist's n lives. . It's the same old routine, the kind that always looks like you're going to die but just won't. . Mortal Cultivation Biography also follows this routine, but what is better about Mortal is that the author will foreshadow it. Every danger is when the protagonist is passive or has no choice. . There are several times in the book where the danger is obvious, but the protagonist still gets over it. . There are also several key turning points where the protagonist actually has better choices. . It will be very uncomfortable to look at this. . The protagonist obviously has a better choice, but he chooses to commit suicide. . The most annoying thing is that not only did he not die in the end, he also had a lot of adventures and so on. .
Dear author, if you have time, please read this chapter of the post. What is the difference between 3 million words and a bad ending? This book can be written with 67 million words. For example, is there no realm above Nascent Soul? Doesn't the Nascent Soul need to be cultivated? Does the family want to develop? At least as powerful as the Yulong family, right? What to do about the hatred between the protagonist and the Yulong family? What if there is a real demon in the lower realm? These 350,000 words can't be finished at all, okay? Bad writing is a very harmful behavior to readers. If it fails, we can wait for you. If you have no ideas, you can copy book reviews! Anyway, the book review section is full of big guys, and they all talk very well. Just, please, please don't end it~
A poem for the author
I can't stand this situation of updating once a day! Give the author a self-composed seven-character poem! The poem is called Condolences: The moon hangs on the Oriental Pearl! Yue Sheng Xi Mianjun is here! Read the Bible punctually and timidly! An update on the sound of thunderstorm and wind! Traveling thousands of miles in a day, you will always be the same! Admire Wenjun's holy face! The lights dimly share the chrysanthemum! Analysis: I have a monthly pass in Shanghai! Stay up until 12 o'clock every day! Waiting for you to update the novel! You update it once a day! Where are you? I'll go find you! I admire you so much and I want to see you! Let's go see chrysanthemums together in the evening!
From the beginning to the end, the protagonist has only one word (coward)
Ziwei has already written that she has reached the Nascent Soul stage, which is almost to the middle and late stages. I can sort out my thoughts later and do a good job of foreshadowing. I rarely read novels so seriously, and there are very few 😁😁😁. I remember the last time I read a novel so seriously was when I read The Master of Kendo. 🤓After finishing writing about the demonic invasion of the world of immortality in Beiting Prefecture, I suggest you write a section on the development of the family. After all, this is a family novel about immortality 🤭🤭. The past few hundred chapters have been busy with experience in fighting monsters and developing. We are almost in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and it's time to develop the family. Otherwise, at the current level of upgrading, it is estimated that it won't be long before we reach the tribulation period. By then, it will be difficult to continue writing the plot of the lower realm (after all, we will soon be invincible in the lower realm 🤓) and there will be nothing to write about. Since it is a family story, let's do it well. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Let me tell you my own feelings. I don't know if other book friends feel this way. In the last two or three hundred chapters, I feel that the family is almost becoming transparent, and the existence of the family is almost no longer felt. The few people written about it are like passers-by. I can't even remember the names of the people, and the plot is almost a blur. It's almost completely turned into a fairy tale about the protagonist's family 😵😵😵. It's really time to write about the family in the future. It's nice to relax a little bit after always fighting and killing. It's good to change the taste occasionally. If there are new book friends who read this book, I really recommend that you read it. This is a very good book in the family. It is worth reading. It can also be considered as giving Ziwei some support so that he can continue writing. After all, it is a part-time job 😄😄😄Give him some motivation🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I strongly request more updates on weekends. If you support me, please support me.
This book is well written, but there is one flaw that needs to be corrected, which is the incident where the Golden Pill of the Beast Control Sect snatched the protagonist's pet. An analogy for the Beastmaster Sect is to work in a law firm to help people sign contracts. Since you are doing this kind of business, your reputation is the first priority. Even the protagonist knows that family reputation is important and family members are strictly prohibited from doing things that harm the image. Doesn't this Beast Control Sect know that? If I were the head of the Beast Control Sect, that Jindan guy who stole the protagonist's pet would destroy his whole family! And is that golden elixir that stupid? Dare you joke about the reputation of the sect? If you want to steal or rob, you can just do it outside. Why do you want to rob the protagonist when doing business? This is no longer a brain teaser.
Ziwei, I have been chasing your book for a long time. I have been following you since you started writing. I remember that the first part of the family story was about Everlasting Immortality, and the second I saw you, I liked it very much and kept following it. I would like to share my little suggestion, which is to increase anti-piracy measures, which I very much support. After all, authors also need to eat. People are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat even one meal, you'll feel hungry. Not everyone is an old thief Togashi, and he can pick up the white Fumi who wrote Sailor Moon. But can you please not be so late? I remember when I first opened it, I heard that I would publish the previous chapters first and get up at 3 o'clock to publish the new chapters. At first I was waiting for you, but then I couldn't stand it any longer. My body felt too uncomfortable, so I had to get up and watch it the next morning. If you do this in the middle of the night, can you still eat it? Can the anti-piracy time be changed to daytime? ,,,~,,,? If you are able, you can enable automatic subscription to the latest chapters, so that you can support the author~
It's said to be a family story, but halfway through the book the protagonist becomes a casual cultivator. The family is dispensable
