   #BeachcombingFun #ThePhilosophyOfTheLoneAngler #SailingDiary #OriginalOceanNarrative "Beachcombing at low tide, sailing at high tide, fishing when the waves subside. Crabs in the sand, silver scales on the fishing rod, engines beneath the deck—all are metaphors for the sea. Some dig out their childhood innocence with shovels, some measure perseverance with lead weights, some tear the sky apart with sails. The story of the sea never ends, and we are all protagonists—bring courage and ask the deep blue for the answers to life." A blessing for those experiencing a reading slump, the most complete collection of beachcombing and fishing novels with a Tomato rating of 9.0 Or higher.

   Prioritizing, the first book is the best; it's purely about fishing, with detailed descriptions of the process, no get-rich-quick schemes, no pretentiousness, and no excessive sentimentality. The second and third books are also good, with some romance or clichéd elements, but none of them are overly sentimental. Highly recommended.

    These are basically all books I've read before and thought were quite good. The first one is about a female protagonist who is reborn and goes to sea to fish, raises children, and does other everyday family life; it's mainly lighthearted and funny. The second one is about a female protagonist who is reborn and takes revenge on villains; she has a cheat ability, can go to sea to find treasure, has a military marriage, and is a bit sweet but not cloying. The third one is about a male protagonist who is reborn and has a cheat ability to make money at sea; this one is the kind of "fast-paced" novel where he makes money quickly, but also has some humor. The fourth one is about a male protagonist who quits his job, wins a lottery, returns to his hometown to go to sea to fish, and farms at sea. This novel doesn't involve suddenly making a lot of money; it's a single-female protagonist novel, and the whole thing is quite light and relaxing. The last one is a novel I read a couple of years ago; I don't remember the details, but I still remember the male protagonist's name, Lü Xiaoyu. He has a cheat ability, but doesn't suddenly make a lot of money; it's also a relatively lighthearted novel.
