I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.
I Read Every Single One of These!
Interstellar, historical, farming, xianxia, mecha, infinite worlds. Every one is carefully chosen.

A collection that’s very much to my taste: BG romances with characters who feel real, intense push-and-pull, wooden heroines, seriously badass female leads, and love-hate dramas that hit me right in the feels.

I was so disappointed after reading this book [crying] When I first read this book, I didn't know who the author was. I was amazed that there was still an author who could write such Jianghu novels as Everything Is Appropriate and Huangquan. But when I opened it later, I found out that it was written by Mu Muzi. I really want to give you my life! ! [Shy] This type of writing written in big letters is really the most unique and touching to me. The style of writing and the overall atmosphere alone are particularly attractive to me. Although in each book there are many people quarreling over the characters and saying they can't open their mouths, etc., I think this is exactly the charm of this type of writing. There must always be some misunderstandings, regrets, and missed stories to make the story more soul-stirring, and I think everyone's image is three-dimensional and distinct enough. Compared with it, their respective endings don't make me regretful or sad at all. (But Ayu is really suffering. I hope everything will go well with Xiaoman in the future.) Taking the three books together, the author's writing skills have really improved significantly, and his emotional lines have also improved a lot. It would be great if I could challenge myself and suddenly update our daily life for us [crying] [shy] (waiting for the bonus episode, please, please, please, I want to watch Shuangyu's daily life, wow) Looking forward to the next book of the Nine Sects series! ! Close your eyes and enter! !
I didn't cry while reading the whole article, but I cried when I read this perfect side story. This is not a river and lake where hills and mountains are falling, vast emptiness is empty, the ground is shaking, and mountains and rivers are collapsing. They have escaped from the grievances and bloodshed of generations of nine sects and eight sects. They never carry anything on their backs, they just come to the tea house in the world lively, go out to the sea, and support each other. Everyone met happily like this, and since then, the world has ended successfully. [Red heart]
The pleasures of the rivers and lakes, the warmth of the world - a perfect portrait of the rivers and lakes. I was completely immersed in reading the full text. The mutual attachment between Shuangyu makes people feel like "it is destined to be this way". The love between parents is also very firm, and everyone has their own obsession and tenderness. I was really moved after watching the extra chapter... If all those regrets were made up for, maybe the sword would no longer be stained with so much blood, and their emotions would be more sincere and passionate. In short, Jianghu is huge, but fortunately they are walking side by side.
Super awesome! ! First of all, this is a real martial arts article, and it is very exciting. In 2026, I was almost moved to tears. The structure of the article is very neat, progressive and a bit suspenseful. If you think about it carefully, there are actually many common martial arts routines, such as magical skills/overseas fairy island/mystery of life experience/prodigal son x eldest lady/monk x saint girl/pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger/super resourceful/the devil is a good guy/celebrities are bad guys/balabala, etc., But the author's writing skills are amazing and the interpretation is radiant. It can be seen that the routines are not terrible, but the writing is poor! Straight natural girl x delicate and entangled brother, the young love between the male and female protagonist is sweet and fragrant. In addition, the supporting roles are all flesh and blood, and several different emotional lines have strong tension, including the love between the two sets of parents, the four monks headed by the host, the inheritance of masters and apprentices on the Immortal Island, the brothers and sisters connected by the devil, and the storyline of the Sword Forging Villa. Each line is very complete when taken alone, but in this article, it is only a supporting character line, which is why it gives such a fulfilling reading experience. Love it, love it, the author is a god!
God, I thought Wei Lingzhu and Wen Shuo would meet later in the novel, wow
I personally like group portrait works. After reading the first volume, I knew I had found a treasure. Just for the four brothers of Wuwangji, each person's character motivation is in line with their character, and the development of things is unexpected, dark and logical. The most important thing is that they are not black and white people, they all have darkness and highlights. The charm of group portraits lies in the story lines from different characters' perspectives and their love-hate struggles. The author blends different timelines and perspectives very naturally, and the pace of the following volumes is also overwhelming. I really didn't expect that the first time I cried was because of Feng Ming. After watching it, I didn't figure out the specific reason. Maybe it was because he thought that he was like a puppy that escaped out of the house, got wet in the rain, rolled in mud, and was kicked by others. He wanted to go home but didn't dare to go back. When he saw other puppies being bullied, he arrogantly helped. This kind of human society with a strong surface and a soft heart touches me. In fact, there are a lot of things I still want to write, but I'm not sure whether writing them in the review is considered a spoiler, so I'll stop there. Finally, I was a little curious about where the title of the book came from. I felt that the title of the work was not so closely connected with the entire book. Bi may refer to the heroine or the hero, but who does the gentleman here refer to? It may in turn refer to the male protagonist or the female protagonist, corresponding to each other. Or maybe it refers to the people who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the heroine's freedom, causing unreasonable disasters? Does it mean to be pregnant with a jade? All in all, I understand that the title of the book is more closely related to the male and female protagonists, and does not fit the theme of the group portrait so well. On the contrary, I feel that the name of the poison "homesickness" is very good, and it perfectly fits the fate of most of the main characters in the article. Children who have families either lose their freedom and are imprisoned, or they leave their homes for various reasons. The children who are wandering around the world either have no idea where they are going, or they live in fear and dare not return home.
There are three thousand avenues, and I am not alone on the road. On this journey of thousands of miles, the clouds and the moon always depend on each other.
Sprinkle flowers, the extra is so beautiful
It's not that you can't escape fate, but you can't escape responsibility.
It's great to watch, but the finale is too rushed. I want to watch Shuangyu's extras.
