    When I found out my child had spent 6 yuan on the game Sky: Children of the Light, I was so angry my hands were shaking. I felt like the sky had fallen. All the years of raising him felt like a waste. When I saw the 6 yuan game charge notification pop up on my phone, my fingers suddenly started trembling uncontrollably. That string of cold numbers flashed on the screen like a sharp blade, cutting through all the expectations I had built up over the years. My vision blurred. Six yuan—this insignificant number—felt like a ton of bricks, pressing down on me so hard I could hardly breathe. All those years of getting up at 5 a. M. To prepare breakfast, the exhaustion of checking homework under the lamp late at night, the tutoring classes I scrimped and saved to pay for—all of it suddenly seemed like a ridiculous one-man show. I could almost hear my heart shattering, like the succulent plant he accidentally broke on the balcony, the carefully cultivated fruit reduced to a mess in the blink of an eye. My phone vibrated again; it was a notification from the game platform that virtual items had been credited to his account. The cheerful notification sound pierced my eardrums like needles, and I suddenly remembered his bright eyes last week when he confidently promised "I absolutely won't top up my account." The pork rib soup simmering on the stove bubbled and steamed, its aroma filling the entire kitchen, but all I smelled was a nauseating stench of copper. The coins I'd saved up for half a year in the piggy bank jingled—the money I'd intended to use to buy him birthday sneakers. Now they were all mocking me, laughing at how unsuccessful I was as a father. In the family photo on the wall, he smiled so sweetly, his arm around my neck; how could he so easily press the payment password without batting an eye?

    The books I recommend tend to have a slow pace. Books with inconsistent plots, weak/immature character development, excessive emotional manipulation, or illogical, nonsensical technological advancements are generally unreadable. The slow pace of my recommendations isn't popular in the online novel genre. "Iron-Blooded Remnant Ming" isn't very popular due to its slow pace and infrequent updates. However, in terms of rigorous research, logical reasoning, and a pursuit of realism, it's arguably among the best, if not the best, of historical fiction. The author's "Late Ming" is very famous, but its quality is inferior to this one. "Survival in the Late Ming Dynasty" is a refreshing change in the genre, relying less on plot twists and more on strategic planning. The author, Mingjian Shanzhuang, strives for a dialectical and objective approach, resulting in well-developed characters. His "The Emperor's Struggle in the Ming Dynasty" is also good, though its plot sometimes feels overly contrived. "I, the Emperor" on Qidian is also a well-written rebellion novel. Books like "The Great Ming Scholar," which feature a poor scholar who becomes a top scholar, tend to have similar settings. "The Great Ming Scholar" leans more towards a rural, farming style, with few climaxes. The political struggles within the officialdom are vividly portrayed, creating a sense of immersion. However, the protagonist is constantly suppressed throughout the book, and it ends just as he manages to rise to power. Recently, there have been many books about Zhu Qiyu, but almost all of them are simplistic and easy to read. Only "Why Did My Imperial Brother Rebel?" Is relatively well-written. There's also "New Shun 1730," but this book can hardly be called a novel; the later parts are practically devoid of plot and filled with filler. However, it answers the question from a relatively professional perspective: "If the Ming Dynasty hadn't fallen, or if a Han Chinese dynasty had emerged after its fall, would China have fallen behind?" It analyzes why modern China lagged behind through this hypothetical scenario.
