Author: Palindromic Return Everything Begins From Yagu Beast, Author: The Cat on the Left and Right [This Trainer's Pokémon Is Too Jumpy], Author: Observer 233 19:"Elf: The Insect-Catching Young Man Is As Stable As An Old Dog", Author: Our Knife 20: My Elf Trainer Simulation, Author: Crazy Silence The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Elf: Picking Up Reborn Ivan at the Beginning":"Elf: Picking Up Reborn Ivan at the Beginning" was a very novel Pokémon Doujinshi. The story started with the protagonist Xia Chen's poor beginning when he transmigrated to the world of elves, showing a journey full of adventures and adventures. Xia Chen had originally planned to become a researcher and accumulate resources by researching new evolution paths and developing sprite characteristics. He would eventually become a trainer or a heavenly king. However, Ivan, who he had picked up, and various elves with unique skills had ruined his plans, forcing him to face more challenges and adventures. The unique thing about this book was that the elves all had their own unique skills, such as the reborn Ivan, the dragon Menas, and the simulator Shanaiduo. The appearance of these elves brought more choices and opportunities to the protagonist, Xia Chen. Whether he could achieve his goal in the end depended on how he dealt with these challenges and opportunities. The author's description of the various elves in the book was also very vivid and interesting, making people feel as if they were in the world of Pokémon. At the same time, the growth of the protagonist Xia Chen and 2:"I Might Be a Fake Ultraman": Strange imagination, dressed as Ultraman, Belia attacking the Country of Light to create a space-time rift, the protagonist transmigrated for the second time, and picked up the Easter egg system on the way. This system is also very strange. When something dangerous to the protagonist, it will produce different levels of Easter eggs according to his strength. The things that the Easter egg knocks out are very random. In short, there is no obvious routine in this novel, but it is not cool enough. What I like more is the author's style of writing and wonderful imagination. 3."He Knows Pokémon More Than Me":"He Knows Pokémon More Than Me" is a very interesting Pokémon Doujin novel. In the story, the main characters, Master Chi and Billy, merged into one, bringing a new reading experience to the readers. The author cleverly used various memes to make the readers feel very happy during the reading process. Especially the early plot. Although it was similar to the original, the author had written something new, making people look forward to the story even more. In addition, the author's writing style was very cheerful, giving people a relaxed and happy reading experience. Overall, this book was a very funny Pokémon novel, suitable for readers who liked to laugh and complain. Although too many memes might lead to a loss of immersion, this book was definitely a good choice for readers who pursued happiness. 4."Master of the Elf's Character": The first character is the King Carp. Its only skill is the Water Splash Leap. The style of writing was smooth and smooth. It was the kind of work that would use the plot to amuse the readers and had a rich spirit of service. 5."Elf: Starting from the Alien Lalurus":"Elf: Starting from the Alien Lalurus" was a Pokemon Doujinshi travel novel. It was mainly written in a Japanese light novel style, and the story was fascinating. Even though the beginning was a little toxic, the plot at the end was very good. It could be said that it was a good book. The story of the marsupial beast was even more wonderful. Although there were some small knives, it was not a big problem overall. When the new book was released, he could see the interaction between the main character and the female leads, Mary, Joey, and others. However, because there were too many female leads, it was a little difficult to accept. Even so, the quality of the story in this book was still good. It gave people a warm and daily feeling. All in all,"Elves: Starting with the Alien Larulas" was a book worth recommending. Although there were some traces of imitation, it was still acceptable overall. 6."Elf: The Initial Pokémon is a Yagu Beast": Different from other Pokémon novels, this one mainly focuses on digitizing and leveling up. It uses Digimon to crush the local Pokémon crazily, and recreates the classic zombie T-rex's wrong evolution. Nuclear bombs are fired everywhere, killing the level 50 dojo owner on the spot. Rather than calling it an elvish text, it was more like a data flow upgrade in elvish skin. But don't say it, I love this set. The last elvish text I liked so much was Su Yong's elvish cultivation system. However, the only downside was that the author lacked planning for the data in advance. After frequent updates, he would find that the data was given too much or too little, and then he would change it again. Fortunately, the problem was not big, and it looked quite good. 7."Something's Wrong with My Pokémon": Although the photos sent by the senior are very tempting, what the hell is the big-headed doll sitting next to the senior with two bloody holes? Why did it have a big mouth with sharp teeth on its head and drool at the senior? Senior, you're going to be beheaded! When he woke up, Lu Cheng realized that Pokémon had invaded his life. But why was his Pokémon different from others? --- Welcome to the real world of Pokémon. From the lowest level of trainers, step by step, you stand on the stage of the World Competition! 8."This Pokémon Trainer Is Too Strong": An urban Pokémon novel. There are many game memes and the rhythm is cheerful. However, it is more difficult for non-gamers to read. 9:"Is this the world of card players? Yada Thief! Is this the world of card players? Yada thief!" It was a delightful novel filled with Yu-Gi-Oh elements. The author had incorporated many interesting memes into the novel to make the readers feel happy and joyful in the process of reading. The protagonist in the story had a distinct personality, and the plot was set up naturally without any sense of awkwardness. Even though it was a doujinshi work, the author did not stick to the original work. Instead, he incorporated his own ideas and made new creations based on it. The novel also explained some of the details of the original work, showing the author's deep understanding of Yu-Gi-Oh manga. In addition, the author also cleverly made things interesting for the readers. However, there were some details in the novel that made the readers unhappy. Overall, this novel was a delightful and full of Yu-Gi-Oh elements. 10:"I'm Just a Commentator of the Elves": The author said that there is no female protagonist. I just started watching it and it was so funny. The main character started a live broadcast and made videos. He explained the battle between elves and the science of elves. The exchange between the main character and the bullet screen was too funny. There are no poisonous points for the time being. I will comment on it when I watch more. I will hang it here first. "What?" Ultraman is a lifelong career?" seven points The writing style was relaxed. The main characters had double perspectives and independent thoughts. There were differences in personality. One was in the Country of Light while the other was on Earth. It was more about construction and changing the original characters. 12:"Conan: I'm Not a Psychopath": Conan Doujinshi, very good immortal grass What day is tomorrow? Gin amp@#--Raki "The Corpse Hunter in Detective Conan": The Corpse Hunter in Detective Conan was a Doujinshi novel. It was a casual and daily story. It told the story of the protagonist as a exorcist who could contract a ghost fetus, control a shikigami, and fight against the black organization. This book was featured by the alternate accounts and imagination. The female characters were all like mothers, and the protagonist was a high school version of Sherlock Holmes. The author skillfully combined detective reasoning, psychic, corpse picking and other elements in the book to show the readers a different world of Conan. The protagonist's setting was unique, and his intelligence and reasoning ability could not be underestimated. It made people unable to help but have a strong interest in his identity and actions. In general, the plot and the characters were very distinctive. For readers who liked detective novels, it was a good book not to be missed. 14: Clow Cards Cardcaptor Everyday Magic Boy 18-year-old book, still in serialisation When I read this book in the early stages, it made me feel like a Japanese manga. It's not bad in terms of relationships, right? It didn't achieve the effect of stirring people's emotions and making them unable to stop. In addition, the progress of the relationship was too slow. It was even slower than the previous book that relied on daily feelings to write a book. Although I mentioned a lot of shortcomings, being included in the book list is my recognition of it. If you're interested, you can take a look! (Ling is super cute) "Let Go of That Pokémon": The setting is more unique than other Doujin novels. It has added infinite elements, but the dungeons are all Pokémon worlds. At the moment, they are still quite exciting. I just don't know if they will collapse later. If you are interested, you can try. 16:"Detective Pokemon: Zhu Lan Forges Me to adopt an Elf": The reasoning and Pokemon are well combined. The reasoning plot is quite interesting. It has a refreshing feeling of light novel reasoning. At the same time, as a non-combat novel, the daily life of Pokemon is written very warmly. The only drawback is that it updates slowly. "Everything Begins from the Yagu Beast": New book: "I Have a Heaven and Earth Smelt" has been released. Welcome to read. The World Tree stood at the peak of the digital world, and the Emperor Demon was hidden in the Dark Abyss. The glory of the three Archangels had faded, and the Crystal Boundary Beasts would make a comeback. The digital world merged with the human world. A small figure named Zhao Jie and a Yagu beast began their journey. "Royal Knights, return! We're cutting trees today!" Introduction incompetent, new book opening seeking collection seeking recommendation. 18:"This Trainer's Pokémon is Too Jumpy"(in series) Current progress: 360 chapters. Surprisingly good Pokémon, but sometimes I don't really want to sign up. Most of the writing is okay. The protagonist has two golden fingers. One is a nanny with unlimited energy, a bit like Bikettini. She can be passed on to other Pokémon, but the form of expression is similar to the Phoenix King's flame. The other is the prop box and some elves that played the ns Pokémon in her previous life. (P.S. For the Pokémon generation, red became Billy, and for the Pokémon TV version, Mao became green.) 19:"The Elf: The Insect Catcher Is As Stable As An Old Dog": In the past two years, there were basically no fanfiction about Pokémon (I'm still used to calling it that, and I don't really like Pokémon) that I liked. This was because countless people had already written about the Dark Reality Style, the Game System Style, and even transforming into an elf. Trainers, breeders, researchers, forest rangers, underground organizations, alliances, and all sorts of identities. It was difficult to write anything new. Ever since the great detective Pikachu came out, there was an additional way to link the elf world with the real world. It was not like before, where it was stuck in the original areas such as Guandong and Fangyuan. He had thought that there would be more fairy doujinshi novels to read, but after flipping through a few books about the real world of elves on the rankings, he felt that these authors were all trying to make use of the popularity. They did a terrible job of setting up how elves descended into the real world, and the actual content was all old-fashioned battles, as well as relying on information from games and animations to survive. This book was different. At first, he thought that it was an elf who had descended into the real world, but as he looked at it, he realized that something was wrong. The elves in this world did not appear suddenly, but had existed since ancient times. The research on elves in this world was no worse than the original novel. In other words, the author directly transferred all the technology from Pokémon to various forces, such as artificial elves, mega evolution, elf characteristics, skills, personality, and so on. The author had re-graded the sprites. There was still a classification of levels, but there was a reasonable explanation. Moreover, unlike other game systems, level 100 was the maximum level. In this book, level 100 was the beginning of an advanced trainer. Moreover, although Race Points had an impact in this book, it was not everything. Race Points only accounted for a small portion of the elves 'strength. Because the main character in his previous life had developed steadily after obtaining the ability, but was inexplicably killed, the main character in this life had become overly sensitive and cautious. The main character of this life was considered a half-native. He had the memories of the Earthlings from his previous life, but the main body of his consciousness was in this life. However, his personality had been completely assimilated into his previous life. Because of the memories of his previous life and his understanding of this life, the protagonist knew that this life was very dangerous. Those powerful divine beasts could kill his family with just the aftershock of the battle. The protagonist had always wanted to live a peaceful life in the small mountain village with his grandfather and sister. Therefore, in order to protect this peaceful life, he had to be strong enough to deal with any danger. Then, the main character became a great demon king in the small mountain village. Just the main character's own strength was already at the peak of the Heavenly King Realm, but he did not know it. No, it was not that he did not know it, but because the main character overestimated the danger of the world, it caused the strength classification of this world to be different from the classification of this world itself. Because there had been many books with cautious protagonists recently, everyone had a firm impression that some of the actions of the protagonist in the early stages of this book did not conform to the cautious attribute. However, the main character's cautiousness was only on the surface. In fact, it was a mental distortion caused by being overly sensitive. Looking at it this way, those actions could be understood. This book has a lot of highlights, but the number of words is not enough. It suits me very well. Overall score, 8 points, highly recommended. Finished, scattered flowers, looking forward to the author's new book. My Elf Trainer Simulation: A simulation based on pets Every simulation was the path of the rise of the original elven world's powerhouses! You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
