In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five
I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

In a Reading Slump: Looking for a Truly Fresh and Exciting Read
Everyone can recommend just one personal top pick. Please don't suggest books with inflated ratings. I've read most of the famous ones, so I'm looking for something fresh.
Finished Novels That Leave You Awestruck and Linger in Your Mind
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.

How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

A rare novel that even a seasoned bookworm could finish reading. Beneath the surface of a traditional courtyard house setting, it narrates the changing times and depicts how faith crumbles. Its greatest achievement is that it wasn't censored! 🤭
It was pretty good overall, but the part where the male and female leads got together wasn't handled well; it felt a bit abrupt. Also, when the people came to exchange food, I felt it wasn't safe for him to go alone.
Those who followed from the previous book, let's claim first place! It said it was finished, then secretly updated it—is it really finished? Is it true?
It's well-written, without too much hostility. I only stopped reading because of the original female lead; I personally don't like original female leads because I can't relate to them. Those who don't mind can give it a try.
The plot is well-designed and logically sound. The characterizations of He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and others are insightful and reasonable. I read it all in one night, and all I can say is that the author is truly amazing. There are no fake, grandiose, or empty "golden fingers" (superpowers or advantages).
Chen Ming was just an ordinary person, seemingly devoid of joy or sorrow. His three wives all came together because of his help, gradually developing feelings that weren't romantic love, but more like familial affection and gratitude. His first wife felt more guilt; had it not been for unforeseen circumstances, they would have been happy.
I came from the previous book; it was very well written and suited my taste. Keep up the good work!
I'll give it four stars for now, and I'll add or subtract stars based on my feelings while watching ✨. There's not much negativity in it; it's really just ordinary life, like writing a diary. Year after year slips by quickly, without too much mess. It feels like a narrative diary written for the TV series and the original novel.
Excellent! The characters of Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, and especially Yi Zhonghai are portrayed realistically. Most fanfiction these days depicts Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady as major villains, which is completely unnecessary given Yi Zhonghai's resources and abilities. He even withholds Sha Zhu's retirement money! That's simply leaving himself a huge, potentially explosive, handle.
It's very good; it's an ordinary yet extraordinary life, full of surprises and wonderful moments. I can't get into many books after the Millennium because I already know the future, but I still want to continue reading this one.
