Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!

Tomato Has a True God
I’m looking for stories like "Asakura-kun Is a Saint on the Outside and a Demon on the Inside". Look at my reading time: I’ve earned the right to have an opinion. Tomato is a god-tier platform, and this light novel is a hidden gem. I don’t know why nobody’s reading it. I’ve been reading for ten years, and if you’re out of books, you absolutely have to give this one a try. The male lead is fairly smart, with a bit of...
Urban Fiction Is Getting Worse and Worse. Please Recommend a Truly Great Book.

This is probably the first political fiction novel I've read, and it's quite interesting. The male protagonist is reborn in 1998 and doesn't hide anything; he directly confronts his parents. With his advanced memories, he helps his father, who was destined to be stuck in a lowly clerk position for life, avoid pitfalls and seize opportunities.
The writing style is simple and straightforward, with clear logic and no mindless posturing or nonsensical plot points. I've read many books that I couldn't get past halfway through, but this is one of the few I could keep reading. Highly recommended.
It's really good. It avoids the mindless, clichéd plot of characters showing off and getting slapped in the face. The son provides advice and strategies from behind the scenes, casually suggesting business ventures, while the father solves problems and slowly climbs the ranks in the political arena. Invincible!
It's really good, but the main character doesn't seem to have much screen time (it's a bit like a system 🤦). Sometimes I even mistook the main character's dad for the main character. But that doesn't affect how good it is. I just love this feeling of knowledge flowing through my mind.
This is the first time I've read this type of article. I stayed up for several nights to catch up with the updates. Some people say the pace is slow, but that's what makes it so realistic and engaging. A fast pace would lose its flavor. I love the detailed descriptions; it's so well-written.
The writing is incredibly detailed! The pacing is very comfortable. Some say it's slow, but I think they're overlooking a crucial point: realism! Extremely realism! This book is very vivid; you can learn a lot about interpersonal skills from the characters.
What makes this book so appealing is its rich detail; these details are worth studying and can broaden one's horizons. Each character is vividly portrayed, and the plot and narrative flow are very solid. The writing is excellent! It's well-paced and concise, with a progressively unfolding narrative.
This is a slow-paced, meticulously written novel about officialdom, and the author's various documents and reports are quite well-written. The author has also done extensive research, making it quite rigorous. The pacing is a bit slow, but the content is rich, logical, and well-supported. 5 Stars!
I've been catching up on this book for several days straight! The author's logic and writing style are excellent. It's not something that just jumped out of nowhere; it's clear they've done their research. The interpersonal relationships and social dynamics are also clearly rooted in their family background or personal circumstances.
I read through the latest chapters in one go, it's like finding a gem! The writing is excellent. Even though this is the author's first time writing about officialdom and they might not know much about it, the descriptions of the characters' details, personalities, and expressions are all spot-on.
