【Introduction】

Sing loudly and raise your head,

See Mount Buzhou.

You can see Buzhou Mountain,

It should be the greatest luck for a god.

But a mortal saw it...

【Golden Ten Chapters】

In Chapter One, we look up and see Mount Buzhou. The protagonist, Gao Ge, travels to the prehistoric world, clad only in a plain towel. His chubby body is beyond description. After running endlessly, he finally gains strength. He recovers in a purple space and heads for Mount Buzhou, the Heavenly Pillar, seemingly hoping to gain some of the Heavenly Dao's energy.

Chapter 2: Picking up a precious sword. The protagonist fights off the timid Black Armored Beast, but before he can rejoice, two giant beasts descend from the distant sky, causing the ground to violently shake. Though the protagonist avoids them, he's still caught in the tremors. He awakens in a mysterious space and digs out a tooth from the ground, lost during the previous battle.

Chapter Three: Practicing Martial Arts in the Wilderness. The protagonist encounters the black-armored beast again in the valley, and unavoidable combat ensues. Despite his limited strength and lack of martial arts skills, the protagonist manages to slay the beast through skillful tactics. He drags the beast's corpse away, digs up some Polygonatum, and lives a comfortable life. His martial arts training, however, is mediocre.

Chapter 4: Treat Me to Pine Nuts. The protagonist slyly heads to the fourth valley, which seems particularly dangerous. Fully armed, he's attacked by a cute little squirrel with pine nuts, who captures his heart. He also offers valuable items like polygonatum and grass roots, forging an inexplicable friendship with the squirrel.

Chapter 5: Long-term consumption leads to lightness. The protagonist eats a lot of pine nuts and gradually adopts the habits of squirrels. The friendship between man and squirrel grows deeper. One day, dark clouds gather, and the protagonist tries to return to his valley, but is stopped by a squirrel. Thanks to the squirrel's help, the protagonist is saved from being swept away by the flood.

Chapter 6: Home at a Thought. A flood transformed the protagonist's original valley into a lake, leaving him unable to find his personal space, the Purple Gold Palace. Unexpectedly, a single thought brought the Purple Gold Palace to life. After repeated experimentation, he determined he could summon the Purple Gold Palace at any time, transporting him to different valleys and other locations.

Chapter 7: Monsters on the Westward Journey. The protagonist travels westward, heading towards Mount Buzhou. Soon, he encounters a towering tree demon, frightened and forced to hide. However, after a fight, he discovers the demon is no match for him, and after a few blows, he forces it into a cave.

Chapter 8, "A Good Fat Pig." The protagonist paddled across a long river and then hiked for a long, long time before suddenly encountering a group of wild boars. He initially ignored them, until he was stabbed by a cute little boar and hung on its teeth. This time, he realized that these wild boars were not easy to deal with.

Chapter 9: We've also received our inheritance. The Purple Gold Palace has acquired new abilities, truly gifting the protagonist with a technique to cultivate. The protagonist can't wait to see what he's gained. The "Tao Body Refining Method" has improved his physical fitness, and he wants to explore the forest slowly.

Chapter 10: Who said your number is so unlucky? The protagonist follows the penguins, finds out their outer nest, and when the time is right, disappears. With his fierce attack, he can only fight or not, and finally fulfills the promise he made during his duty.

【Brief Comment】

This book was launched on May 10, 2019, with an initial order of 1600, and was selected as a boutique on June 17. It has been completed so far, with a total word count of 155 million, 71,000 collections on Qidian, 40,000 collections on the bookstore, 170,000 fans, and no leader.

I originally saw his other book "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" first. The title of the book is a bit like Yue Buqun in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

When I clicked on the author's introduction, I found that he had a completed work and had won third place in a fantasy writing competition.

This is even more curious.

Because the title is quite impressive. There are so many excellent works in the prehistoric genre, but this one, which is said to be the best, is surprisingly not well-known.

The number of words is not very large, which does not conform to the characteristics of the Xianxia category, which is long and watery. In the closing remarks, the author explained the reason and said that the writing was a mess.

It doesn’t matter. Even if the writing is terrible, you can still win the award. It shows that maybe it is relatively easy to win an award in an essay competition.

Actually, that’s not the case. I’m just a little jealous.

After reading the first few chapters, which consisted of dozens of chapters, the protagonist, a human, wandered through several valleys in search of various opportunities, including natural treasures and magical little animals. However, there were no living people. I wondered if it was because the levels of these valleys were too low, just single-player novice villages, unsuitable for the emergence of true monks.

After much hesitation, the protagonist finally got the system and was given a cultivation method to help him practice slowly so as not to be destroyed by natural disasters by accident.

The author said that this book is different from other prehistoric books. It does not pursue the goal of becoming a patriarch or a saint, but rather the story of a human being, hoping to unearth the brilliance of human nature in the prehistoric world.

His intentions were lofty and his starting point was unique, but it was a pity that his writing was a mess.

Moreover, the early plot is not very pleasing, even a bit dull, and it is a bit depressing to read. It doesn't feel like a prehistoric world, it's purely desolate!

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

The beginning of this book is not well written, it's like entering a zoo.

The protagonist encounters many difficulties, either natural disasters, animals, plants, monsters, or himself.

In the ancient world, even with the help of a system, it is difficult to achieve 100% success.

Originally, I came here for the title of the book. The first person in the prehistoric times made me very curious. He actually dared to claim to be the first person. Isn’t he afraid of what the prehistoric flow can hide?

But as I watched, I felt sleepy.

This is actually the story of a person who survived in the prehistoric world. There are no particularly big waves, nor any shocking highlights.

Therefore, the world has a little more worldly air because of his appearance.

It is this hint of fireworks that leads the protagonist slowly forward to explore the mystery of Mount Buzhou.

Many authors write about the Honghuang style, and many people also like to read the Honghuang style, but there are actually not many good Honghuang novels.

If you read too many books of this type, you may become skeptical of myths and believe in science.

Despite this, animated films are very fond of novels with primitive themes, which have huge room for imagination.

Okay, no more words.

good night!
