    When Li's level 100 game character is transported to a fantasy world, he realizes he is unstoppable.But...all he wants to do is be a farmer? Watch as Li tries to maintain his peaceful daily life in a chaotic world full of magic and knights. ===Foreword===Slow Pace: This novel does have a slow pace with things building up piece by piece over time. However, this also means that the further you read, the more connections will begin linking up and the more the story will start building up. OP MC: The MC in this novel is extremely powerful from the very beginning. If this appeals to you, then check this novel out.Crafting/Farming Warning: This is a warning to say that if you are looking for a novel that focuses entirely on a crafting system or farming, then I have to say that this novel does eventually move on from the whole farming premise, getting much larger in scope overall.

    Consume and evolve to become the strongest. The Collector, an alien warrior on a mission to absorb all life, transmigrates to a world of fantasy and magic. However, a battle with a god forces it to begin its journey as nothing more than a weak grub. Used to fighting against spaceships and machines, the Collector must now navigate its strange new world where instead of dealing with bullets and aircraft, it must now face magic and dragons. It must evolve from the weakest of the weak, the lowest of the low, and become strong, stronger than anything on the planet whether it be a knight, monster, or the very gods themselves. ===Foreword===Evolution/Non-Human/Unique MC: If you like evolution based novels and nonhuman MCs, then you've come to the right place. The whole novel will be about consuming creatures and their bloodlines and evolving. The MC is also not the average isekai'd by truck average dude in most transmigration stories, it is an alien monster from the very beginning if that interests you any. Cold/Ruthless/Villain - Anti-Hero MC: If you like MCs that are on the colder and more ruthless side, the MC does not operate by conventional human morals and starts off as a villain and will be a questionable anti-hero at best.Slow Pace: Like my other novel on this site, this novel will have a slow pace compared to other works. Hopefully, this will enhance your experience as a reader with description rich, vivid and engaging fight scenes and environments. The slow pace will also contribute to fleshing out a significantly developed world as well as setting up for plot events that will have relevance throughout the entire novel.'===Discord Link===https://discord.gg/mKvkT36pSQFeel free to pop in anytime to ask questions!

  • John Wick 4

    John Wick 4

    John Wick has all the makings of a comic book movie franchise without actually being based on one at all. Written by Derek Kolstad from his own original idea, this high-concept series starring Keanu Reeves in the title role features some of the most remarkable fight scenes ever put to screen — but the world-building in John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, and John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum is just as exceptional. . When he arrives at Gianna's ascendence party, a gorgeous affair set in Roman ruins, she knows what her brother has done. To maintain what little agency she has left, Gianna slits her own wrists and John only shoots her after she's dead. But because Santino can't leave well enough alone, he lies and puts a hit of $7 million out on John Wick for assassinating his sister that leads to another huge showdown between John, Santino's minions, and his assassin colleagues Cassian and Ares, all of whom John defeats. Back in New York, John is forced to visit the Bowery King (Lawrence Fishburne), a low-level player but one with access to resources. The Bowery King gives John seven bullets, one for each million of the bounty, and John returns to the Continental for his showdown with Santino, who has taken up residence there. The rules don't permit assassinations on the property, but John kills Santino anyway."I'll kill them all": John Wick, excommunicadoMurdering someone on Continental grounds results in immediate excommunication from the entire underworld network that was once available to John Wick. Because Winston knew Santino set John up, Winston gives him an hour to escape before putting in the excommunicado order, a decision that would bite him back soon enough. The bounty on John's head has also doubled by John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum.
