Nothing too juvenile or mindless. I’m open to any subject or writing style, as long as it brings something fresh. Lately, I haven’t been able to find books that suit my taste, so I haven’t updated this list in ages. I spend more time looking for books than reading them.

Years of Satisfying Reads: Fresh Ideas, Great Pacing, and Smart Characters
I personally don't care for unlimited-flow, xianxia, or harem novels. Plenty of stories have settings and writing that are just as good as those by big-name authors, but their authors can't manage three or more updates a day. Web novels are all about the thrills, so frequent updates are one of the main ways to keep readers hooked. That's why top authors are so skilled at showing off and teasing readers to hit their excitement buttons, like some kind of post-orgasm clarity. Of course, that's what

I have caught up with the latest chapter, and I feel that there are several problems with this book. 1. The title is Magic Gunpowder and the Death Crow, and the introduction also explains that it is a fantasy of a duel between magic and gunpowder. But to be honest, a considerable part of the content talks about irrelevant things, such as the international situation and calculations against senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense. These contents account for at least half. These contents can be summed up in one sentence, and there is no need to describe them, because if you want to read this part of the content, why not read the Machiavellian article? And the level of this part is average, not exciting. 2. Magic should have been discovered for a long time, at least several decades, but there is very little content on civilian use, which is not very logical. This part of the content can be regarded as the application of magic and technology, and the author's imagination can also be seen. 3. I feel that the exciting content of the book lies in the battle game between magicians. If this is used as a selling point, the rest of the content should pave the way for the next battle. The one about the Greek Officer Corps is quite good. But if promotion is the core, and political opponents are eliminated, and the battles are all for promotion, I am afraid that the title and introduction of the book will have to be changed, because this book lover will be disappointed. 4. I feel that the author's idea is that the content of the book is for anti-fascism, and the political struggle is to drive Britain to fight against fascism. But the content and the main plot are actually two different things. For example, in The Lord of the Rings, the main plot revolves around the Lord of the Rings, but the exciting content is not entirely in the Fellowship of the Ring, the Battle of Helm's Deep, the siege of Isengard by the Treants, and the Battle of the White City, which started from the Lord of the Rings. However, the content has nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings. It is the excitement of the battle that makes the movie popular.
Let me talk about the status of this book. The author had to take a break from writing for a while due to recuperation. However, during the recuperation period, his account was blocked and the editor of the book resigned. The new editor was irresponsible, and then he died here.
Seeing that the author often responds to questions, I'll post one too. The first time I saw this book was in the daily guide,... How should I put it, I felt that the title and introduction were not attractive enough, and I missed it all at once. Later, I saw a post promoting this book, so I searched for it and took a closer look. I haven't seen the latest chapter yet, about 20% of the total. First of all, I personally feel that the writing is good. Whose vest is this? It doesn't look like a newcomer. If I can maintain the standard, I think I will read it to the end. There's probably a part of Tanya's feelings there too. Tanya's story puts aside factors such as the easily harmonious war background. The main plot is the battle with existence X. Existence He is a rival to Tanya, who does not believe in God and dreams of working as a civil servant in a stable homeland. But there is no doubt that Tanya fell into Existence The protagonist of this book is not on the side of the empire. The survival crisis at the beginning was solved through personal wisdom. But if you want to survive, you have many choices. According to the analysis, there is a high probability that you will not be able to escape conscription under the background of the times. The army is indeed a low-threshold way to improve your social status. There are some issues that I would like to discuss with you. If you want to improve your status in the army, as long as you win, you will always win. Is this the simplest way? Because Tanya was calculated by Existence Falling behind and lacking preparation, the frontal battlefield will definitely win less and lose more at the beginning. Avoid the main battlefield. After the intensity of the war increases, he will be transferred back from the side battlefield as a backbone. Is he more independent? Is the risk lower? The protagonist takes the initiative to go to the frontal battlefield for the reason of improving his status. How high is the goal? It seems that it is better to tell the readers the goal at the beginning, and the main line is clearer.
There is still a long way to go before a qualified online article
Generally speaking, this book was born out of "Young Girl's War Chronicles", with the addition of "crow's cry" and "death bird" and other exciting points. The climax and intensity of the first battle are also much better than "Young Girl". The writing is good, and you can listen to the book very smoothly, which shows that the author has worked hard on word choice and sentence construction, and the descriptions of several early battles are quite remarkable. However, the two exciting points of "the contrast between the heart of a social beast and the body of a young girl" and "the devil in the skin of a young girl as described by the hard-core soldiers" are missing. The male protagonist is not good at writing emotional dramas (harem & selling meat), and he pees more than he feels happy when reading, which greatly deducts points. Furthermore, the reverse order at the beginning not only failed to attract attention, but also discouraged many readers at the starting point of the popularity of "Three Golden Chapters". The self-psychological analysis of the protagonist, who is slightly literary and young, is also redundant. This is also where the new author is inexperienced. Because the plot is based on history, there is not much to say. It can be expected that there will be no surprises or scares. As for the world view setting and background foreshadowing... Most newcomers can't control group portraits, and not many people are interested in those zzdz in World War. Overall, it makes people want to sleep and don't want to spend time digging into it. After all, online novels are different from light novels. For the latter, you can bite the bullet and read it for fun, because the money has been spent early on, and only time will be spent later. Every chapter of the online article is paid for on the spot. It is very frustrating for readers to open the latest subscription for several days in a row and find that there is nothing exciting. If you continue to write the foreshadowing according to the rhythm of "Young", the subscription will definitely be lost. When readers see generals meeting or developing weapons and magic, they will naturally quit and skip to the later war part... Because most of them don't want to read this. There is only one battle after dozens of chapters, and the battle process may be under the pressure of updates and the quality cannot be guaranteed. There are almost no emotional scenes and female characters worth looking forward to. The upgrade of combat power is extremely slow. There are too few plots that promote the strength of the protagonist from a third perspective... These are huge obstacles for readers to follow the update. Online article authors must respect the market rules of online articles. Otherwise, wouldn't the pursuit of follow-up reading, the number of words on the shelves, the number of daily updates, and the most important recommendation position be in vain?
Emmmm The writing style is passable, but the context of this book has nothing of the author's own. The international situation is basically copied from that of Europe during World War II. The protagonist's experience is too similar to Tanya's War Chronicles, so in a sense it is considered copied (especially the medal for engaging the enemy). . . . . . Even the protagonist does not have the courage and charisma of Tanya, and lacks personality. . . . . All in all, if I hadn't read Tanya and the History of World War II, it would still be an above-average book. . . In a word, this book lacks soul, which is the author's own thoughts. What kind of world and protagonist do you want to show? This is something that cannot be copied. The author should work hard.
"Map Tower" will be updated regularly in the future, and old maps will be deleted after updates. In addition, the map was produced by Kingdom Rush 2 and has many omissions, which are waiting for optimization (Gang San deleted it for me... Sorry!)
I just read Chapter 177, and I have always had a question, why are there no army magicians? Even if the magicians eliminated by airborne are mixed with the army, they can also use multi-purpose arms such as radar, sniper, anti-tank infantry, mobile turret, etc., But I have always seen only airborne.
I'm thinking that the airborne troops don't need a sea platform as big as an aircraft carrier as a fulcrum to fight. Then sea-based airborne troops are much better than aircraft carriers. It doesn't make sense for the airborne troops not to rely on land bases to attack the enemy fleet at sea
