Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f

Many people have questions about Concubine. Please explain the first few chapters. The original owner has no children, no real wife, or is no longer there. Many people say that in ancient times, concubines had no status and could not inherit the family, let alone threaten the original owner to such a degree. I know all this, so my concubine slowly gained the original owner's trust from the moment she entered her home. At that time, she was hardworking, smart, and endearing to everyone. So even though the original owner later found many women, he still had only one concubine left. The concubine knew that it would be difficult for her to inherit the Xiao family, so the concubine was very docile when the original owner was healthy. After the life of the original owner came to an end, the concubine slowly revealed his true face, because she knew that the original owner would not give him the Xiao family, so she forced the original owner, instead of doing it like this at the beginning. You all start reading the book from the plot where the original owner wants to die, so as soon as the concubine starts to force the original owner, you can't accept it, thinking that a concubine dares to bully the owner. But she was not like this before, otherwise she would not be trusted by the original owner. That's why she forced the original owner to make a will when the original owner died, and asked the elders of the clan to come and witness it, thinking that this would achieve a just and legitimate result. As for whether the clan will let her succeed later, that is not what the protagonist cares about later. The protagonist just wants to get what he wants. The original owner in the book obviously didn't have much contact with the clan. It can be seen from the three old people who came to witness the will that they didn't care much about the protagonist's situation. Some people say that people from the clan are here, and the protagonist can call for help, but there is Wang Shuo guarding him in the dark with a sword. The protagonist is worried that his concubine will jump over the wall in a hurry, so it is better to do less than to do more. Some people say that the protagonist cares so much about the box that the concubine will be suspicious even if she is a pig. But how suspicious would she be of a dying man lying in bed unable to move? She didn't know that there was an elixir that could instantly cure the protagonist, and she had also seen things, including an animal skin, a bag, and a bottle of pills. You are from God's perspective and feel it is abnormal, but she is not. She will only think that the protagonist has given up struggling and just wants to get something meaningful to the protagonist. How can there be so many ideas? In real life, a bottle of black eight-ball pills appears, and then someone tells you that it can bring the dead back to life. Do you believe it? And what is impossible in this world? Wu Zetian can be the empress of a country, what's the problem if a concubine wants to take over the Xiao family? The only question is whether she can succeed! From God's perspective, you think that the concubine will definitely not succeed, but does the concubine think so? Doesn't she take any chances? What if it succeeds? She is the only one left in the Xiao family. She is not moved by the huge family property? If there are other people in the Xiao family, then she may not force the original owner, but she is the only one, can't she have some ideas? Don't talk about the status of concubines in ancient times. This book only writes about her ambition to seize family property, rather than honestly writing about the low status of concubines in ancient times. This is like a robber who knows that robbery is illegal, so he won't rob him? The concubine may know that the clan will not let her get the Xiao family, but seeing the original owner dying of old age and being the only one left in the Xiao family, doesn't she have any ideas? Some people say that the original owner is not dead yet. Who dares to eat Juehu? It would be normal for the original owner to die, but he is not dead yet! The most important thing is that the world of this book is set by me. If I determine that the will is valid, then it is valid. What is the use of you fighting for it?
Now that I see it, I think this novel is quite fresh and refined among fairy tales. Except for a small flaw at the beginning, it gets better and better as it gets better and better. I will continue to follow it to the end. I feel that the overall layout is reasonable, the IQ is online, the author's writing is delicate, the characters and psychology are well described, the plot has ups and downs, and is refreshing, making people feel immersed in it. The only shortcoming is the lack of explosive updates. It is recommended that the author occasionally publish explosive updates at the beginning of the month or when the plot climaxes, so that everyone can enjoy it, and I believe it will be more popular.
Except for changing the age of the protagonist to an old man, the rest are just a change of the soup without changing the medicine. The essence of the word "old" is not highlighted. A young soul paired with a body covered in age spots and smelling of old age looks really twisted!
I just discovered that this protagonist is actually labeled as being cautious, so I'll just laugh.
This protagonist, whose IQ is not very high, knew that Hidden Fox had been discovered in Blood Wolf City, so he knew to run away, and actually ran back to the previous city. It was the city where the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect were, and it was also the place where you first appeared. It was difficult to check and it was safe. At this time, it was obvious that you should escape to the ends of the earth! Who do you think is a fool? Why are you so careless when you know how valuable the hidden fox is?
The writing is good, but a lot of people can't accept that you become invincible as soon as you become an immortal. You still need proficiency to play a game. This is too ridiculous. This is unacceptable.
In Chapter 6, the guards and concubine kill the protagonist. During the sensitive period of family property transfer, a half-dead old man has to be poisoned and chopped with a sword at great risk. The couple were definitely beaten to death when the clan members found traces of their corpses. It makes no sense. The rush to kill them as soon as they were brought back is inconsistent with the previous description of the concubine's 15 years of forbearance. Instead of me being a concubine, she is just a weak old man who is about to die. There is no need to go to war. I can take her home and pretend to be a good wife and take good care of her for a few days. One night, I will give her a rag and let her drown. There will be no traces and my hands will be dirty. No one will notice anything. The previous writing is very good. If you want to pursue the eternal life, you must write it down. I hope the author will write more fleshed-out characters in the later chapters.
The creativity is okay, but I can't read it. The setting is repeated and there are too many contradictions. A small amount is fine, but too much really affects reading. For example, in the later stage of Jindan, you cannot see through the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building. If you have a treasure that defies heaven, forget it, just use an ordinary spell. At first I said I would use the ruler once every six months, but ended up using it three times in a second, which was too much. Also, the golden elixir here in Changsheng is like a holy mother. The protagonist is not tempted by such a treasure, and is not forced to join or sign any oath.
Although the author keeps highlighting the word "old", he does not let people feel at all through the text that old age is a thief, or that wisdom, courage, mentality, etc.
Even though he knew there was dangerous water, he didn't go there for a long time, and he just ran away after giving him spiritual stones and magic weapons. Moreover, he was suppressed almost every time in the group battle. If he didn't run away, then the protagonist showed his power and became the turning point. It's disgusting if there are too many plots.
