[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels
Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden

I have a plot
Author, to be honest, I have a problem with my handwriting. So can you close your eyes and code? I don't want to read second-hand words.
The explanation of martial arts realm in this book
In this book, general martial arts are divided into nine levels, and there is also a more unique tenth level. The first three levels of physical training are called copper skin, iron tendons, and jade bones. The first level of copper skin realm, when this realm is practiced to the extreme, there will be a phenomenon where the skin is like copper. The second level of iron tendon realm, when this realm is practiced to the extreme, there will be a phenomenon of big tendons like iron. The third level of Jade Bone Realm, when you practice this realm to the extreme, your bones will be as strong as jade. In fact, among the first three levels, most warriors have reached this point in their lifetime, and only one out of ten can reach the fourth level. But the first three levels are very weak. If you don't practice to the extreme, you won't show any abnormality at all. There is not much difference between you and ordinary people. At most, you can run slightly faster, have a slightly better body, and jump slightly higher than ordinary people. You can roughly imagine the gap between top athletes and ordinary people. Although they are powerful, they don't feel inhuman. But if you practice the vision, the density of the skin, tendons and bones will be close to copper, iron, and jade, which is called the physical limit. The ability to resist blows and physical reactions will be far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary fourth-level people are no match. If you want to practice visions, you must practice them before the end of physical development and before the muscles and bones are closed. Otherwise, even if you practice to a higher level in the future, you will not be able to reach the physical limit in this life. But this does not mean that you must cultivate the first three levels to the extreme and reach the physical limit before you can reach the fourth level. In fact, the vast majority of people who have cultivated to the fourth level or even higher realms have not cultivated beyond the physical limit. Therefore, anyone who has cultivated beyond the limits of his physical body is considered a genius. The middle and third levels of Qi training are called the three realms of Tongmai, Entering into subtleties, and Zhoutian. The fourth level of Tongmai Realm, this level will cultivate to the point where all the meridians are connected, breaking the gap between internal and external training. From now on, you can release your true energy. When practicing internal energy in the Tongmai realm, you can also practice the body-protecting true energy. When practicing external energy, you can also practice internal energy circulation. The fifth level is the subtle realm. This realm is based on the filling of the meridians, and further controls oneself, and can freely control breathing, heartbeat, and internal organ activities. The sixth level of Zhoutian Realm, after cultivating to this realm, the true energy in the body will automatically circulate and practice, and you don't need to actively practice to maintain the realm. If the previous five realms begin to deteriorate if you don't practice, or if you encounter major changes, you may regress. Starting from the sixth level, one certificate will last forever. There is no obvious bottleneck between the fourth and fifth levels. As long as you cultivate to the fourth level and work hard to survive the service years, you can reach the fifth level before you die. Between the fifth level and the sixth level, there is a huge threshold. Most of the fifth-level people fell in front of the sixth-level threshold and finally chose to fail. The fourth level has a special realm called Datongmai Realm. This realm is generally not achieved by cultivation, but by chance. Generally speaking, only at the eighth level of Tongxuan realm can a warrior directly utilize the energy between heaven and earth. Before this, they relied on the warrior's body or food energy to slowly transform the energy of heaven and earth into internal force, mainly using internal force. However, in the Great Tongmai Realm, one can directly absorb the power of heaven and earth in a small amount through the meridians, causing the power of heaven and earth to be dispersed in the meridians. The attack power of every move is far greater than that of ordinary Tongmai. The third level of spiritual refining is called the three realms of Ningshen, Tongxuan and Grandmaster. The seventh level of concentration realm, people in this realm have their souls sublimated and develop something called concentration. Concentration allows people to break away from the constraints of the five senses and perceive the world. It is similar to a kind of human radar scanning, but more powerful than radar, which brings the master's perception ability to a new level. Ordinary attacks cannot evade their perception at all. The eighth level of Tongxuan realm, people in this realm can use their concentration to absorb the energy between heaven and earth. The Tongxuan realm mobilizes the true energy of the whole body and combines the energy of heaven and earth to produce something called Tongxuan true power, making it impossible for people below the Tongxuan realm to compete with it in terms of positive power. But this kind of spiritual power is not invincible. Any master who has cultivated to the sixth level of Zhoutian can resist the true power of Tongxuan to a certain extent, but they may be repelled and knocked away. But the really magical thing about Tongxuan Realm is that after the power of heaven and earth is added, it can rely on the circulation of the power of heaven and earth for a short period of time to maintain itself. Even if he is seriously injured and his heart is broken, he can still maintain his combat effectiveness and survive for a period of time, waiting for rescue or medical treatment. Therefore, it is difficult to kill masters at this level. If you want to kill a Tongxuan realm master, you must have a master of the same level take action, and it must be carefully planned, preferably a siege. Therefore, for masters in this realm, the value of barrel dipping is extremely high. Another miraculous thing about Tongxuan masters is that after concentrating and combining the power of heaven and earth, they can do many magical things, such as twisting the five senses, controlling sound waves, etc., Which can easily be used to pretend to be gods and ghosts. The Ninth Level Grandmaster Realm. A master of this realm can not only add the power of heaven and earth to his body, but can also go a step further on the basis of the Tongxuan realm and control the power of heaven and earth within three feet of his body from a distance. This kind of manipulation will form something like a three-foot air wall. Any external attack that invades within three feet will be weakened by the air wall. In the past, when people were relatively ignorant, they would mythologize this three-foot wall of air as being invulnerable and immune to all harm. Even if the master is not as strong as the legend, with a three-foot Qi wall, his fighting power is extremely terrifying. Even the most prosperous dynasty would not dare to easily make an enemy of a master with extremely destructive power. Grandmasters are very rare, and it is very common for even long-term masters to fail to produce a grandmaster for decades. The above levels one to nine are the conventional martial arts realms. Above these ninth levels, there is a very special Grand Master realm. For hundreds of years, only the previous time traveler Li Guo, including the whole world, had reached this state and was recognized as a great master. But this great master involves a huge secret in my worldview. I forgive me for not revealing too much information here. Readers can gradually understand it as they read. Thank you for your support.
To be honest, I really think the reason why this book is not popular is the name and the beginning. I understand the name to be similar to Cyber Heroes, but steam is often associated with steampunk rather than the steam engine period of the Industrial Revolution. As a result, I didn't want to click on the name when I saw it before. After reading the story, I felt that the title of the book was a bit inappropriate. The beginning part is that it grows too fast. The author probably set or shaped the protagonist according to the image of a "strong man". It seems that he first had the image and story in the middle and later stages before thinking about the beginning. The plot is really abrupt at the beginning. First of all, the protagonist blends too naturally into a strange world and a strange identity. The description of Lao Jin is too little and the image is not full enough. The reader needs to complete the feeling of the master, apprentice and elder to get the point. In the early stage, it seemed to go with the flow, but it was too smooth. Did the time traveler blend in so naturally? Don't you miss your family and friends? No doubt? There is no corresponding pre-travel description. Although it is a historical text and does not need to be described in detail, it cannot be left blank. A simple sentence to characterize his existence will do. The protagonist at the beginning can be said to have no existence of his own. He is completely the author's puppet and leather suit. The reader's understanding of the protagonist depends entirely on the words and deeds in the subsequent plot. It really takes several chapters to develop a personal image. It will feel better to define who the protagonist is at the beginning. It can be a hint, an insinuation, or a direct plot. This way the behavior will be more reasonable. Otherwise, the protagonist will lack the core motivation in everything he does. He is just an author's puppet who is hungry, eats, thirsty, and drinks without thinking, and is pushed by the plot. The following plot slowly completes the character image before it starts to look good The image of Lao Jin is still less described, and the intimacy is not as good as that of Lao Wang, which is a pity
I feel that the author's description of the struggle in the court is insufficient. The turmoil caused by the assassination of a top noble like Da Zongzheng is definitely not something that can be dealt with in one or two strokes. However, the author's description seems to be "if Da Zongzheng dies, he will die."
This novel should be classified in the fictional history category. It looks more like a historical novel with a bit of inner strength. Keep it up! It is not easy for writers of historical novels to combine a system of extraordinary forces with a materialistic view of people's history that promotes historical trends, such as "Deposing the Dragon." I have played through Dandan's Shao Song and Overturn of Han several times, but I just couldn't stand it. After about half of the game, I couldn't stand it anymore. So far in this novel, the supernatural power system has been well integrated with history. It has not failed because of the supernatural power, nor has it been regarded as the ultimate power to solve problems.
Didn't see the knight
After reading a few chapters, I didn't see anything about chivalry. On the contrary, it gives people the feeling of Brother Haonan bravely venturing into the world.
The author's writing skills are very good. It feels very hard work and the information is detailed. The book looks okay. But there are two points to complain about: First, the identity design of the pig's feet was unsuccessful. After all, relying on assassination to resolve social conflicts and resolve political issues really challenges human beings' outlook. Pig's feet actually seemed to enjoy it a little bit. It makes people less likely to have a sense of identity. Second, there are too many social and political descriptions. The key point is that the author is not a sociology and political science major, and there are many contradictions and mistakes.
After reading about twenty chapters, the beginning was really boring. After more than ten chapters, the old blind man died and the male protagonist's life experience was explained. Then the male protagonist wanted to take revenge for no reason. There was no foreshadowing before this. All the actions of the protagonist are like playing supporting roles for the supporting characters. The supporting characters are much more exciting than the protagonists. Each supporting character is a flesh-and-blood existence, while the male protagonist is just a tool.
