First-person storytelling always feels special. It's good for writing emotions, but hard to pull off a plot.

My priorities are 1. prose, 2. worldbuilding, 3. plot, 4. logic, 5. values... I'm not into romance, and I love feminism. Overall, this is a mixed bag, with lots of infrastructure-building, management, and progression stories. Feel free to chat!

Female Lead Fans (Eclectic Reader Edition)
Includes both completed and ongoing works. I'll try to recommend only one book per author. I have very eclectic tastes, but I can guarantee they're all told from a female protagonist's perspective. Check the tags for things you want to avoid. Muah з
Highly Recommended: Strong Female Leads and Plot-Driven Feel-Good Stories, Part 1
My booklist is full, but I have another list in my profile: "Completed Works, Fully Purchased." I prefer feel-good stories to Mary Sue stories. I'd rather become strong than be loved by someone strong, and I prefer talented supporting heroines to fighting for favor.

My Personal Top Romance Picks
Romance-focused, though the main plot isn't necessarily about the relationship. Most of the time, the romance is just one part of the main story.

Compelling, Well-Rounded Female Characters
If a book cannot make readers fall in love with the female lead first, then it is not worth reading. Give all the complex character designs and fully developed images to women.

The thinking is really backward, the world is unified, women and men have the same brain, what is this weird thing? Thinking of this disgusting operation, you love men too much. In fact, the thousands of years of suffering and pain that women have suffered, women are inferior to men, have been eliminated by you, the egalitarians who love men, haha, this book is so disgusting and stomach-turning, I really feel sorry for men when I think of it so far, bullshit
Sigh... I really like the grand and serious ideological discussions that come here because of the reputation. It is a very beautiful and wonderful collision of ideas. Where will the future of mankind go? With the development of science and technology, systems have taken over life in all aspects, and intelligent services have solved everything. Have human beings really achieved complete happiness? What is free will? Are our thoughts really our own? Is it reasonable to maintain stability at the expense of a small number of people? And the freedom and peace of giving up to get an answer... Taken together, it is quite shocking. Although there are many things that are unreasonable, the description of the appearance is full of condensation and the shackles that have lost their dominance, and many of the words are very secondary, which made me frown. Brow, the portrayal of the heroine's violence is too fragmented, and the twist is a bit inexplicable... But as for what the author wants to express, I can say tolerantly that the flaws are not hidden, but there are still limitations... The only point that I can't stand is the rescue of men,? I feel like the author still hasn't given up. It's totally okay if I delete all the parts about SFH's need for male equality in the article. The overall logic will even be more consistent, harmonious, and reasonable, and it will be easier to think about the conflict of their thoughts and everything the author wants to express.
Re-reading "The Ant Colony", compared to my previous appreciation and admiration for Han's thoughts and character, I now have a more soft perspective. There are many similarities between Rouhan and Rouhan. For example, both of them cannot blend into the crowd and both have very independent thoughts. But the reason why the two are attracted to each other is actually because they have characteristics that they have not fully developed in each other. The most vivid thing about Han is his dissatisfaction with the status quo and his pursuit of truth. What is more vividly reflected in Rou is the cherishment of the world and the love of life. One is a reformer and the other is a guardian. Therefore, their love is almost a destined tragedy, because complete revolution is often accompanied by huge destruction, and wanting to maintain and protect the present is accompanied by giving up on new possibilities. People are often contradictory, and Han is too deviant, but as a person it is impossible not to have feelings. She saw in Rou a love for the existing world that she had decided to give up. Rou Nei, on the one hand, is doing the job of catching "worms" to protect the world, and on the other hand, she is exhausted from it, but after all, she loves the world deeply, and this love is the only thing that makes her stick to this job. Rou fell in love with Han at first sight because in the process of catching "bugs", she also had a lot of in-depth thoughts about the nature of the world. She also thought that the world was actually not perfect at all, and she also had a desire for new possibilities. Han's feelings for Rou are difficult for many people to understand because this article is narrated from Rou's perspective. But in fact, these are hidden in some details. The most obvious thing is what Mu Zi said to Rou at the end: "If you knew how much time she spent in her short life getting to know you, maybe you would forgive her." Han is looking for new possibilities in the world, but she cannot forget the love this world has given her. In childhood, as the youngest child, her mother and her sisters doted on her; as an adult, as the person with the second highest social points in 501 City, society gave her a large number of resources for her to use, but in the end, she wanted to destroy the world. Han must have had a lot of struggles in the process of making this decision, and when she was looking for suitable chess pieces in 501 City to achieve her goal, Rou attracted her attention because of the match of social status on the one hand, and Rou's love for the world on the other. This kind of love is a very important point that Han needs to consider when choosing chess pieces, because she wants to minimize the casualties caused by the destruction of change. And this love will definitely attract her deeply, because this is something that Han wants to take into account but has to give up. At that time, Han must have used systematic records to look through Rou's life experience. This was a kind of long-term gaze. This kind of gaze often gives people the illusion that you already have that person. So it's not surprising that Han would fall in love with Rou, and for Han, choosing Rouge to fall in love with Rou actually represents her last tenderness and love for the world. When the change is coming, and the last time of loving Rouge, it can be regarded as making up for her regret. Only Han who falls in love with Rou can exist as a character with a complete personality.
Now it seems that everything is traceable. This book does nothing to threaten the gametes, and the other book by the same author is almost blindly obedient to men. I hate and hate that book (the author of the sea monster has the same name, not Iika's sea monster, but the men are just as disgusting). Every one of the men in it is disgusting... Although I bought the physical book, I felt like I was choking at the thought of it. The downfall of this book is that it's too soft on the men, and even though I enjoyed their interactions, I couldn't read it again.
To be able to write this article in an era when AI was not widely used, the author's thinking is really advanced.
"Mother will also feel that all the hard work is worth it." Seeing this, I think I understand the controversy and contradictions in the rating section about this article. I want to praise it but also feel relieved. Probably because "mother" is a mother shaped by society. Why does a mother naturally feel that the hard work is worth it? Where is the father? Why should mothers have maternal love? Some results are just results and do not mean that hard work is happiness. I agree more that "Mother should actually be similar to the Yellow River, which can give birth to humans and also punish (floods)." If the mother only has the power of love and no room for anger, then she is just a symbol of the social structure.
After reading it, I felt so confused. A little swollen and painful. I feel sad for their love and sad for human civilization. Perhaps there will never be a society in this world where everyone is satisfied. There are always some irreconcilable conflicts between individuals and groups. But if I had to choose, I would definitely choose the individual. Having said that, in the end, the protagonist still did not choose to join the Brain Network, and the secrets between them disappeared with the cold wind of the tundra and Rou's death. The social form was finally fixed, and those who died could only become the dust of history and serve as the price for the advancement of civilization. But I still feel sad for those people. As a genius, Han is independent from the human world. Perhaps because of this, she feels lonely and wants to eliminate the barriers between people and build a better society, and she sacrifices her own life and the lives of others for this. She really can't be called a good person, but she did become the starter of an era and will remain in people's hearts forever, such a genius across the ages. It can be encountered but cannot be sought. No matter how much Rou hates her, she will still feel happy that they met.
This should be one of the best science fiction novels I have read, and it is also my favorite one. Although I have read relatively few science fiction novels and limited them to the famous ones, because I actually do not like the subject of science fiction. I always feel that most science fiction novels focus too much on science fiction, especially the fantasy of natural science, and ignore the fantasy of social structure. Of course, as far as my perception is concerned, this novel also has some problems, but the author has already mentioned most of them in the postscript. Simply put, the problems raised are too many and too grand, so I can only pick them up and put them down gently. I think the first half of the article actually focuses on the discussion of the social structure, while the second half turns to the characterization of several characters. The social structure of this article is obviously based on utilitarianism as the basic principle. Although the article Although there is an explanation and criticism of this system, it is not in-depth. To be honest, as a reader who is interested in this kind of thing, I am a little disappointed, and the article does not describe the social structure of the new system in detail at the end. I feel that this social structure is not perfect, but the system itself is not perfect, and I think that people like Han were actually born from the accident mentioned in the article, so I am actually looking forward to how the next Han will change this society. These are all small problems. Going back to my feelings about the article, I actually think I am more able to understand and accept Han's approach. I think characters like Han are actually more common in some novels. She is a cynical person and has a crazy love for the things she pursues. Even after reading half of it, I felt that she has a strong self-destructive tendency. She is actually a kind of person. This is a combination of ideal and irrational. On the one hand, she has extremely strong rationality that allows her to plan all this, break daily life in a very destructive way, and dedicate all this to that madness. In fact, I think her own words about her motivation are the same dissatisfaction as Chaos, but Chaos has a hint of idealism, and Han is more Pessimism is more nihilistic and desperate, but in this regard they are actually the same, but I think this is just a rational reason, and it is also a reason she can describe. I think there is actually a deeper reason, an irrational reason - she actually changes for the sake of change, and it can even be considered as her unconscious behavior. Back to the feelings for Han and Rou. On the other hand, Han undoubtedly has feelings for Rou, but this feeling is very complicated. It is not just love, but even because of peeking into Rou's life, Rou may be regarded as a part of her by her, and she may even say words that she will remember for a lifetime. Therefore, in the final interrogation, the proportion of Rou will be very high, and Han is undoubtedly guilty of Rou, so he chooses to bear everything alone. For Rou, perhaps the greatest luck and misfortune in her life is falling in love with Han. Han is actually the most irrational character in the article, while Rou is the most rational character. She has her own thoughts from beginning to end. She is always gentle and firm, but also The most tragic character. She was probably heartbroken when she learned that Han had been using her. She even didn't dare to face Han's memory until the end. I even imagined what would happen if Rou could be as crazy as Han. Would there be a better ending?
It hurts so much! Rou Han is really a fate of life and death, love and hate... Han has no regrets about her choice, but when I think of her ending, my heart feels cold and painful... Everyone can experience Han's pain firsthand, except Rou; everyone can't understand Han's pain, except Rou... The secret past that everyone was curious about finally disappeared in Moss In the cold wind of the original... Rou will be attracted by Han's dangerous and lonely soul disguised in layers; and when Han is cheating on her feelings, she also falls in. When Rou asks her if she feels guilty for deceiving others; when she asks Rou to remember herself... I really like this kind of love and killing, I have tears in my eyes but the corners of my mouth are raised hhh
After watching it, I really felt very complicated, with all kinds of thoughts colliding, but the question that stayed in my mind in the end was, what did Han see at the end...
