   Reader note

   ❶ The first book features a protagonist with mediocre innate talent, lacking both divine favor and powerful backing, placing him at the very bottom of the cruel cultivation world. There's no easy path of effortless dominance; the entire journey is a struggle for survival, every step forward hard-won and arduous. There are no outrageous cheat codes or unexpected opportunities; everything is achieved through sheer willpower and perseverance. The writing style is simple, the world-building realistic, and the hardships of cultivation are thoroughly explored. Compared to those overpowered, wish-fulfillment novels, this book returns to the inherent difficulty of cultivation. The protagonist is insignificant and ordinary, facing limitations at every turn; the plot is well-paced, the content is substantial, and the characters are vividly portrayed. It perfectly illustrates that ordinary people cultivate not through talent, but through unwavering perseverance and an indomitable spirit. ❷ The second book differs from most formulaic fantasy novels. The protagonist is blind from the start, in dire straits, without any powerful backing or exaggerated lucky breaks. He relies entirely on his keen senses and calm demeanor to navigate the world alone. The story mainly revolves around the protagonist's travels and experiences. The writing style is gentle and comfortable, combining the carefree chivalry of the martial arts world with the everyday realities of life. The author realistically portrays the blind protagonist's senses, inner thoughts, and interpersonal relationships, narrating the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the grudges and conflicts of the martial arts world, and the myriad aspects of life along the way. The overall plot pace is leisurely, without mindless monster-slaying or arbitrarily stupid villains; the characters' actions are all logical. The protagonist, wandering alone and in dire straits, still retains his integrity. The more you read, the more enjoyable it becomes. The setting is novel, the writing is solid, and it's an underrated gem of a novel. ❸ The third book: Tired of those overpowered, action-packed novels where the protagonist is invincible from the start? This novel is truly exceptional. The protagonist unexpectedly awakens an immortality system, possessing infinite lifespan and never dying. He doesn't need to fight desperately everywhere, nor does he receive any heaven-defying opportunities, and he doesn't need to compete with others. The system's rules are simple: as long as you live, your strength will automatically increase; the longer you live, the more invincible you will become. In the early stages, all the geniuses are highly skilled and exceptionally talented, while the protagonist appears ordinary and unremarkable, looked down upon by everyone. But no one knows that with the passage of time, even the most powerful geniuses will die, and ancient masters and gods will eventually perish; only the protagonist lives on forever. While others vie for a fleeting peak, the protagonist only needs to patiently endure the long years. As time goes by, all the former powerhouses fade away, and the world constantly changes, but the protagonist survives, his strength growing stronger step by step. From an ordinary person no one cares about, he slowly crushes all the world's powerful figures, reaching the pinnacle of the world. The overall feeling of developing while remaining passive is incredibly satisfying, the plot pacing is comfortable, there's no sense of frustration or oppression throughout, the world-building is grand, and it possesses an atmosphere imbued with the vicissitudes of time. It perfectly illustrates that immortality is the strongest reliance; as long as you live, you will ultimately be invincible. ❹ The fourth book: After reading countless clichéd post-apocalyptic novels, almost all featuring human protagonists struggling to survive, growing stronger through combat, stockpiling resources, building bases, and leveling up to save the world, the plots are highly repetitive and have become tiresome. This novel, however, completely breaks free from the established post-apocalyptic framework, offering an extremely fresh and unique perspective—the protagonist is not a surviving human, but a zombie born in the apocalypse. The entire book lacks suffocating survival crises, exhilarating battles and comebacks, intricate power struggles, and the typical wish-fulfillment fantasy of a protagonist with a cheat-like advantage. The story sheds the blood, violence, and excitement inherent in post-apocalyptic novels, stripping away all the dramatic and thrilling plot twists. The female protagonist, a zombie, finds herself in a desolate and ruined world, not actively provoking humans, not pursuing power or evolution, without lofty goals, unresolved grudges, or a desire to conquer the world. She simply walked quietly through the ruins, watching the seasons change, watching the city slowly crumble, and in the collapsed world, she lived her long life slowly and peacefully in her own way. Niche, novel, serene yet healing, it is a unique work in the post-apocalyptic genre, a refreshing stream in the field.

   Book 1: A story about a group of adorable characters. There's a small amount of fanservice (shipping) in the forum section. The main characters care for each other, and the friendship is very strong. The main characters are all pitiful, and their friendship among the 25 is wonderful. It's a pity about this "golden generation." No romance. Book 2: A story with strong moral values. The protagonist is a very skilled and famous doctor with good logic. He's on the "good side" (their alias is their "good side" identity), and there's no possibility of his true identity being revealed. He has an apprentice and is decisive in his actions. No romance.

    Each one is incredibly good, and the reading time speaks for itself! 1. A popular food novel, not only is the food visually appealing and delicious, but the writing is also superb, like someone who has passed the civil service exam, with heartwarming little details. 2. A family-oriented novel, leaning towards a female audience, with a Celestial Being character, but overall the whole family is adorable. 3. Super cute, a kind-hearted evil god with a human-like quality, a baby who desperately wants to be human, the brotherhood is very heartwarming, but there are some heartbreaking moments. 4. Super cute, no romance, political intrigue, just the emperor and his subjects, the ministers scheming for the greater good and then acting with gusto, and the characters are anthropomorphized by the reader—cats, mice, dragons. The protagonist has a sense of historical respect and isn't just a plagiarist. 5. A food novel, the food looks delicious. Reading it makes you even hungrier, the food is described very vividly. 6. No romance, but very enjoyable, the friends are also very cute, and they are quite intelligent, perhaps a mix of chaos and kindness? In short, highly recommended.

    I haven't eaten anything particularly good either. These books from my 4000+ hours of reading experience seem alright (I read them a long time ago; for the past year and a half, I haven't found any good books to read, haven't finished any...).

    1. It's really good. I've been reading it recently. The protagonist's personality is quite fun, mainly because of his attitude towards games. 2. The protagonist is very powerful, and his banter with the other person is also quite interesting. 3. Xiao He is a professional villain, but he's a kind person. 4. I've liked it for a long time. He's a true villainous protagonist, and the foreshadowing is quite well done. 5. Chen Xiao, haha, I won't spoil it. 6. I won't say much about "The Gods' Fool". 7. Jiang Yi is practically a mother figure 😋, a road trip survival story. 8. It leans more towards an ensemble cast, with more focus on the battles of the monsters created by the protagonist in the later chapters, which is quite novel.
