I don't understand that today's readers can't see any female characters, and they only like the protagonist to be a eunuch. As long as there is a female protagonist, it's not good to watch.
Nowadays, the rules of the book review area are corrupt and traitors are everywhere. This is due to the lack of updates. If the author diligently updates 10,000 words every day, then the traitors will be afraid and retreat, and the moral gentlemen will rejoice. This is a feat worthy of praise by Yao and Shun I heard that calves born in sheep pens will not behave like sheep when they grow up. You are at the starting point and your computer keyboard is often used, but you have lost interest in updating it. Is this reasonable? The reason why Qidian is strong is that we have inherited the etiquette and skills of our ancestors. Stop bursting, the pressure has nowhere to release, and instead you become tired. Isn't this the same as abandoning the roots of the tree and pursuing the treetops? If this continues, great disaster will surely happen! The reason why Bai Jin can earn tens of thousands of royalties and not be harmed by villains is precisely because they are willing to listen to what upright gentlemen have to say! But Pujie cannot get royalties, and is even looked down upon by his girlfriend. This is because they are close to evil villains. I hope you can think carefully about the difference. There is one thing for which the author can cry bitterly, and six things for which the author can sigh. Since ancient times, when performing actions, the words are often very passionate. If they are not passionate, they will not be able to move the actor's heart. Harsh words are akin to slander. Author, you should think carefully about whether such a thing is right or wrong. Those authors who updated less, delayed, or missed updates had no time to feel sad about themselves, so they were drowned in the torrent of works, leaving only later authors to feel sad about them; later authors felt sad and did not learn from it, and future authors felt sad about it!
I've almost finished reading the second volume, and Xiuzhu's transformation really makes me sick. In your novel, there are split personalities, perfect disguises, maybe twin brothers who look exactly the same, martial arts that hide their martial arts, stack up a bunch of buffs, and everyone can find a reason to transform into a boss. It's endless. In addition, the protagonist's leapfrog challenge, although all the preparations or explanations are reasonable, but I still feel a little knotty in my heart. The reality is that the strongest high school student in history, Zhan Zhao, has a fight with the King of Boxing Tyson. Please hold back. I am afraid that the opponent in the next volume will be Sun Wukong. Don't ask whether he will win or not. Anyway, the protagonist went up to fight, and said that the fight was enjoyable and quite enlightening.
Weren't these two chapters written by AI?
These two chapters are unsatisfactory. It's really like watching an old man on Douyin reverse the story, reversing for the sake of reversal, there is no logic at all. The most important thing is how can a little girl who has been abused and does odd jobs every day have the strong energy and blood to reach the master level in one fell swoop? Firstly, there is no teaching, and secondly, there is no initiation, and there is still lack of food and clothing. How can you become a master just by being crazy? Also integrate the eight magical arts? Do you look down on other martial arts people too much? Isn't that what Bloodline Supremacy says?
Li Yuanfang only had apprentices, Lin Chong married Li Qingzhao, a pendant, in order to stabilize the government, Li Shizhen was single, Di Jin did not get married until after the extra story, and Hai Yue got married early, but the direct outline was missing. This Zhan Zhaozong should open a harem. It has an ancient setting and a world of personal martial arts. Judging from the current plot, the protagonist is estimated to be a master at the age of 16/7. There is no reason not to open a harem. Lian Caiyun, Pang Lingyi, and Princess Zhaoning who are currently appearing should not be missed. I won't say much more about Lian Caiyun's obvious pursuit. Pang Lingyi himself also said that he did not want to enter the palace and favored his senior brother. In order to avoid the appearance of the future powerful minister Pang Taishi, Zhan Zhao was bound to do it for the people of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the author always likes to write plots in which the original villains are brought back into chaos, such as Qiu Shenji in Li Yuanfang, Da Rongfu in Di Jinli, and Yan Song in Haiyue. Yan Shifan accepted Pang Lingyi and turned Taishi Pang into an upright person. I think it is very feasible. As for the princess, the protagonist also said that they should avoid the guillotine case and kill Chen Shimei as soon as possible. It would not be too much for Liu E and Zhao Zhen to marry the protagonist, a young master, to a princess. So, start a harem! Author bacteria!
I don't know what other people think about the latest chapter. Anyway, I'm tired of watching it. It's always about reversals, no logic at all, and martial arts. Just show me Brother Invincible. I won't even act. If I were Jin Invincible, I would just give it to you. Why are you wasting so much energy? It's funny to me.
I feel that the rhythm of this volume is a bit messy now. I originally thought that it was the case of King Xiangyang, and the Tiannan grand event would end, or there would be a quick and exciting offensive and defensive battle with the King of Xiangyang after the event. Although it is cliché, it is also a relatively mature end of the unit. In the end, it turned into the Qingcheng faction and the grievances and disputes decades ago, but for the readers, the Tiannan event that had been prepared for so long had not yet been released, and then it was brought up again, and the progress of the Qingcheng faction does not know how to describe it. It feels like deliberately reversing for the sake of reversal, which is unnatural. Just like a racing car, fast corners are really fast, overtaking in curves is exciting, and then it is all curves. The plot polish and pacing feel worse than the case of Zhong Kuitu and Lan Jizong. Maybe it's just that I personally don't like this rhythm. The improvement and description of the force is getting more and more like the feeling of grandmasters everywhere. Now the fight is a melee of grandmasters. Although it is 1v6.7 Of grandmaster, it is still a total of about ten grandmaster level battles. According to this situation, if you go to Liaodi, you will have to fight against all the masters, 40v40 chaos. , In the end the protagonist can defeat the grand master (maybe a bit exaggerated) or compete with the three realms, but now it seems that the grand master alone can suppress a group of second and third realms. How can one fight against those who are not at the grand master level? Moreover, Liao Di now seems to be suppressed by Qing Gong. When they gather together, they are suppressed by the Grand Master, and when they are scattered, they are suppressed by Qing Gong.
In order to develop the plot, the author created a shit-like character - Bai Lu.
Bai Lu can be called a typical victim required by the plot. Possessing peerless martial arts skills and mastering the medical skills of human flesh and bones, she became the second princess of Zhao despite having a husband and a son, and even gave birth to a son. If such a strong person is really unwilling, who can coerce him? As a result, once the plot required her to continue her life, she immediately "came to her senses" and began to abide by her principles. In the end, this big mess is created to disgust the readers.
The following discussion is only based on the fact that Jiang Heyin was the person who defiled Madam Gu.
The writing of Batian's investigation is still interesting and fascinating. The bad thing is that this kind of detective stories often feature crazy fake people that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Once you bring in the empathy from the victim's perspective, you will inevitably feel nervous. For example, if Gu Da was defiled, as our book friends guessed, Jiang Heyin used his position as a guard at Gu Menglai's home to design to defile Gu Da, and pretended that a good man came to ask for his hand in marriage. I can only say that it is difficult to accept such a thing based on my moral standards. As a victim, Gu was at that age, in his prime, and had a father who was a top martial artist in the world. His appearance was probably not bad, and his martial arts talent was good. Given the background of the book, he was probably more lucky than most people. As a result, at the age when he should have seen the scenery of the world, he was defiled by a bad guy and still doesn't know who his enemy is. He was forced to marry a successor that he didn't love out of honor (not to mention that the successor was not a good person, not to mention the fact that he directed and acted in the takeover incident that book friends suspected. His two faces before and after Gu Menglai's disappearance are quite difficult to judge). Because of the shadow in his heart and martial arts characteristics, he now looks like he has lost all his emotions and six desires. Now that he is middle-aged, his biological father's whereabouts are unknown, and his biological son (although he was born of defilement) was also killed. On the other hand, the perpetrator, the faceless rapist, committed such a crime and got away with it for so many years. What if he was really Jiang Heyin and designed to taint Gu Da, and then begged Gu Da with an honest face. In order to prevent him from being embarrassed as a son-in-law, Gu Menglai found Yun Qingxiao as his background. After a person committed such an evil act, he got Gu Da's chastity, he got the right to marry Gu Da, and he even got Yun Qingxiao's peerless martial arts and the villa. And after Sijian and Wanjue disappeared during the decisive battle, he could even indulge in squandering the villa that Yun Qingxiao left him and the dowry that Gu Da brought because Gu Da was emotionally indifferent and would not care about him while practicing martial arts. Of course these are just the characters and stories in the book, but as the reality on which they are based, I think there must be such absurd situations. For me, even just thinking about the logic in my mind almost made me laugh. The so-called fate is always so absurd, and how many people can resist fate by calmly facing absurdity like Camus's Sisyphus.
How should I put it? There are a lot of female characters. It's not that we can't have more female protagonists. It's just that in such a huge world, there are more outstanding women than men. The key is that they all like the male protagonists.
