This Is an Advanced Reading Slump Zone. Beginners, Stay Away
I've read 1,596 books, for a total of 2,838 hours and 38 minutes, and still have 682 books on my shelf. I'm really out of things to read. I won't ramble on, just recommend anything, any genre.
Books with 600,000+ Current Readers, at the Very Least 550,000
At least around 600,000 words! If it’s shorter, don’t add it even if you like it, thanks (*'▽'*)♪ I had a quick look, and there are very few stories over a million words, so 600,000 should give us a much wider selection.
Books Rated 9.9, Any Genre, Preferably with an Original Premise
The writing really matters!!! Short stories are best, under 500 chapters!!! No angst, please!! Sweet romance!!!
Male-Oriented Fiction with No Romance! No Romance! Don’t Recommend It Otherwise!
Don't suddenly give me a love interest halfway through and then claim there's no female lead. I hate random romance subplots 🙃
Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters
Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.
Books Rated 9.7, 9.8, or Higher
Don't recommend anything rated below 9.7. I won't read it, so you'll just be wasting your time. If I wanted something rated below 9.7, I could find it myself. I want highly rated works with a compelling, fast-paced plot and protagonists with sound values. Thanks.
For Middle-Aged Readers: Smart Characters, No Goody-Two-Shoes, Decisive and Ruthless, Highly Rated
Urban, System, reborn, fantasy, or gaming novels are all fine, as long as they’re good, the characters are smart, and there’s no saintly protagonist. Bring out any books on your shelf that fit the bill!

High-Quality Stories About Transmigrating to Ancient Times
1. Someone transmigrates to ancient times and gradually conquers the world. Good writing, and it must be complete. 2. Someone transmigrates to ancient times. Everyone else thinks he's a stubborn young master, but he's actually been plotting ahead to protect himself and his family, eventually swallowing up the whole world. 3. Something like *Changsheng Bu...*
Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

Personally, I think it's a very good novel. It's rare that I'm interested in reading more. I don't know why the rating is so low It feels better than some that have a rating of 9.4 Concise writing The plot does not drag on Distinctive characters Of course, if I had read the ratings first, I probably wouldn't have read them either. I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly good. Visible rating errors I hope the author can continue to finish writing Don't stop It's not in vain that I chase new people for the second time Come on!
It's pretty good. In addition to having a smart mind and memory, the male protagonist doesn't have a lot of room for cheating. It's not a perverted and exciting novel either. It's step-by-step and smooth. It suits my current reading mood! Please give the author a big boost and update!
A great novel, small and detailed, like a warm afternoon, the feeling of the sun shining through the leaves on the body, laziness, and the heart has become calmer. At this time, I am far away from the plight of the reinforced concrete city, and there is no pressure of work and life. I make a pot of tea, blowing the gentle wind, and read a warm book. It is peaceful and peaceful...
The writing is okay. I was a little angry at first when reading the first 3.4 Chapters. I felt that the male protagonist's parents were weak, but I also understood that poverty is the original sin. The original protagonist spent too much money on medical treatment when he was a cub and had no money to build a house. The next few chapters are just fine and getting better and better. It is a very smart way of writing not to put too much emphasis on relatives. Although it is a bit dull, in ancient times, you could not kill the best when you treated them, so if you don't write, writing less is the best. The protagonist's family makes a reasonable amount of money. Fortunately, all the hard-earned money is hard-earned money. I am very satisfied with earning dozens of taels a year after deductions. After all, it is just a small business on the street. The price seems much more reasonable than those articles that take the heroine as the perspective and earn hundreds of taels a month.
It's narrated in more detail, and the important points are also mentioned in one sentence. There are no thieving ideas and golden fingers of time travellers. I have been testing myself and working hard to study and test people. It is very down-to-earth. If you are a book-hungry person, you can read it slowly.
This book is still very interesting. The rhythm and language are very good. There is no exaggerated cheating. The male protagonist works hard to live a good life and change his family situation. It has a very upward feeling.
It's quite beautiful, with a thin stream of water and a long flow of water, so you can take a break and watch it while you're busy. There's no need to rush. The author describes the details well, and slowly tells the story, and ancient life appears before his eyes. Very diligent and updates very quickly
It was well written, but the whole family almost made me faint at the beginning 🤦🤦🤦🤦. I just read it twice before I remembered it a little bit. The history of a little kid's time-travel struggle [awkward laugh][awkward laugh], it makes me want to spank the child, what should I do? 🤦🤦
It's good-looking, very real, and very exciting. The kiss is not very good, nor is it very intimate. It's very good.
It's not exaggerated, not impatient, and doesn't have the kind of time-travel novels that use modern knowledge to make ancient people appreciate various exclamations and speed up the historical process. It's relatively plain and more in line with my taste. I recommend reading it. The author can't make everyone like his book, as the saying goes, it's hard to reconcile his words. Isn't life about you adapting to me and I adapting to you? If you really don't like it, you can change the book. Everyone has their own love for radish and cabbage. If you don't love it, don't hurt it.
