I'll write the serious book review later; I'll put it here first. If I had known it would be like this, I would have read it long ago! A work whose reputation has let it down. I haven't finished watching it yet, but I expect to watch it two or three times. Currently, it ranks alongside "Three Kingdoms: The Working Class" in my heart. It's amazing that the female protagonists in the two stories are one scholarly and the other martial. What's really bothering me now is that after reading this, I can't read any other political intrigue novels... Neither female-oriented nor male-oriented! It was the same when I read Xuan Yu's story; suddenly I couldn't read any other historical or military novels... Oh my god, if these two works are adapted into a TV series or movie, I'll definitely cut them into some kind of weird couple.

This is an ongoing series of articles. Hmm... Actually, I'm not quite sure what score this piece should get. It's unusual, and I don't really know how to rate it. It is only natural that this work appears on this reading list. I think there is no doubt about it. Anyone can read this emotion in it, and it is intense, almost a cathartic emotion. Yet this is still a sharp piece, and also carries a dizzying, disorienting quality. Have you ever had the experience of walking down a street filled with neon lights? The colorful lights flashing rhythmically can make your temples throb. I don't know if the author feels like he lives in a strange world, like he's acting out his own story behind a curtain, which isn't a pleasant feeling. But some works are not meant to make people feel comfortable; that's how I feel right now after reading them. Interested readers can check out this work.

I feel like this book is a bit... Well... Declining. The last two chapters weren't as exciting as the previous ones. Of course, I understand that both the author's development and writing style may have hit a plateau, but if it doesn't have any truly eye-opening chapters, it'll just revert to being a typical fast-paced, light novel. I've been quite busy lately and haven't shared any books in a while, but I've managed to find several good ones recently, and this is one of them. Generally speaking, I don't like recommending infinite flow novels because they are relatively lazy in terms of writing style. But this one is quite interesting, and I almost missed it. It has some rare ideas and characteristics. Whether they are mature or not, they are certainly unconventional, so I still recommend it to everyone. In my opinion, whether the author intended it or not, this book cannot be regarded as an ordinary "female protagonist" novel, much less a common portrayal of gender roles being reversed. The author has a deeper understanding of feminism. This book reminded me of Wuthering Heights, or more precisely, Woolf's interpretation of Wuthering Heights. It's not that the two stories are comparable, but rather that in their feminist interpretations, they both express a similar inclination: "Nature's raging daughter." The daughters of nature possess an innate destructiveness and uncontrollability, not due to any acquired consciousness, but rather a natural selection. Therefore, the emotional choices depicted in Wuthering Heights are not simply romantic love, but can be extended to love for humanity in a broader sense. This is where feminism can go further. From what we've seen so far, unlike Wuthering Heights, the natural forces represented by Catherine gradually weaken in the face of civilization, while the natural forces represented by Arthas transform from disorder to order in the face of civilization, but overall they are constantly increasing. In a sense, this can be understood as Brontë revealing the truth of the demise of women's natural power, and after reflection, the author found a way out for what she considered to be natural power—cooperation and win-win, which is precisely the power brought about by the feminist ideal of equality. I'll stop here for now and finish writing this part when the story is complete. PS: Currently, the completion rate of each dungeon is very high. The one that is slightly worse is the newly completed "Greek Gods" dungeon. This is because "Greek Gods" is a very typical power system where the maternal goddess system (Gaia) was replaced by the paternal goddess system (Zeus). This corresponds to the cultural background of the transition from a matriarchal to a patriarchal system. There is actually a lot of room for discussion, but I don't know if it is limited by the length of this article. This article is rather superficial and not enough compared to the previous articles. I hope to see more updates, thoughts and expressions in the future.

A very well-written ensemble piece. This author is very focused on women's growth. You can actually see that kind of inclusiveness towards young women in many of her works. I don't know if this reflects the author's own expectations—sometimes we do things to "nurture" ourselves again. She hoped they would possess great wisdom to see through the ways of the world and have great love to avoid much hardship. She also hoped they would grow up to be able to shelter themselves from the wind and rain and even provide shelter for others. This is a loving expectation, like a mother's expectation for her child. The various characters in this book, especially the female characters, are less a group portrait than a collection of such expectations. The female protagonist, Yan Yan, represents a perfect growth trajectory. She is loved, she loves others, she experiences setbacks, but she is encouraged to grow with unwavering patience and tolerance. She also gains courage through love, enabling her to face and overcome those setbacks and difficulties. Ultimately, she will find her own path, embark on her journey without hesitation, and live a life without regrets. The mother is a mature and wise woman who has experienced the world. She knows what she wants, and she can take things on and let them go. Interestingly, the book mentions her carefree girlhood. In a sense, could that be the shadow of the original Yan Yan? The older sister, in a sense, is a more naive female figure than Yan Yan. She comes from a privileged background, possesses exceptional abilities, has a superior appearance, and lofty ideals—all good qualities, but her detachment from worldly affairs is not. Therefore, we often see a troublesome stubbornness in her. Think about it, isn't she somewhat similar to many girls who graduate from school today? Thus, the author's life path for the older sister is to leave home, enter the real world, live, and encounter setbacks. But the author still provides a safety net for her with the utmost kindness—please venture out freely; you can always come home if you get hurt, but only by establishing a connection with the real world can you truly stand on solid ground. As for Wang Ma, isn't she the kind of insightful old lady everyone likes? She might be out of touch with the times, or even lack formal education, but the wisdom of life is etched in her wrinkles. And regardless of the era, the answers to life are only related to oneself. Therefore, she sees things more clearly than anyone else, and has become an invisible source of spiritual support for the family. In a sense, she is the source of the family's cohesion. Finally, there's Kim Jolie, the character who most struck me in the book; even the protagonist can't overshadow her brilliance. I won't go into too much detail about her background; please read the book yourself. As one of the most poignant figures in the book, I like the author's description of her: "He tried everything but couldn't win her over; she remained true to herself." No matter how many times I read it, I will be moved to tears by such descriptions.

I'll say it three times because it's important: It's actually five stars, five stars, five stars, but the system wouldn't let me give it that reduced it to four stars. I came across this book by chance. It used to have a really silly name. Luckily, I glanced at the contents by some strange impulse, otherwise I would have missed it. How should a physicist serve his country? This is the author's first work. To be fair, its writing skills and plot design are still somewhat immature, but its emotional expression is so intense that I can overlook those shortcomings that can be improved. This story is about love and faith. I read Van Gogh's autobiography, and one passage touched me deeply: he said that everyone's soul burns with a fire, but passersby can only see the smoke. I just want to know how long it takes to stubbornly hold onto the flame in one's heart, waiting for someone to come over, sit beside you, and stay. The author then tells a fateful story—you may have to wait a century. In the heroine's story, she came for her family, country, and faith; In the male protagonist's story, she comes to save his weary and decaying soul. When they understand each other's souls, destiny forms a closed loop. Love and faith are the only things that cannot be broken. My favorite part: This is her, only her. His invincibility, his tenderness It was his continent, the place he longed for.

When you travel through time, you find yourself in a body that has been tricked into coming to the other side of the ocean. In that turbulent era, your concern is not how to revive China, but how to survive. The book's narrative is not radical; it unfolds in a gentle, conversational style. The author's thoughts are subtly present between the lines, giving you a glimpse into her thinking, only to reveal upon closer inspection that they are merely ordinary observations. The female protagonist is undoubtedly fragile; she lacks the ambition to turn the tide, the wisdom and perseverance to endure hardship, and any special educational background. On the other side of the ocean at that time, her fate was as precarious as our nation's, yet she possessed a resilient, self-consistent, and well-rounded personality. In contrast, the male protagonist—a white man from the aristocratic class, a character with a theoretically stable position and no worries about food and clothing—we can feel his ubiquitous rebellion and cries between the lines of the author's writing. He has undoubtedly not achieved peace; something has plunged him into an abyss of inconsistency. Against the backdrop of national sentiment and profound history, the subtle feminism may seem less important, but its spirit is omnipresent. Perhaps it is precisely because, from "her" perspective, under the patriarchal system, apart from a few individuals in absolute positions, everyone else is oppressed, with no different "second sex," that the plot of the book presents many intricately linked contrasts, and expresses considerable pity for the misfortunes of the men and women in it. You can read the book yourself to see the details. This is the author's second book, and the writing and plot control have reached a new level. Some novels are narratives told after careful consideration by the author, thus possessing a profound and subtle quality, while others are passionate confessions by the author, thus possessing a captivating charm. This book is the former.

This is an atypical suspense novel, and I'm not going to spoil it here. It's not long, and even the most impatient readers can finish it. All I can say is that the pain in this story is too heavy, and the girls are too good. I believe that women can understand women, women can empathize with women, and women are willing to help women. P. S.: A very interesting writing experiment; if it were a film, it would be considered a cult classic. The "commentary style" isn't exactly new; we often see it in epilogues and other parts of novels, usually used to present a third-person perspective. What's remarkable about this piece is that it employs this method almost entirely, and it's not just a simple "commentary" style, but a blend of reality and fiction—a combination of online writing and commentary—creating a sense of "writing within writing." The entire piece is easy to understand; the author's exceptional control of language clearly outlines the clues and plot without being dry or tedious. She strikes a perfect balance between the colloquialism common in "commentary" writing and the formality of traditional writing. Too much colloquialism would diminish its seriousness, while too much formality would make this attempt at the "commentary" style seem incongruous. I really admire the author. This piece is a thoroughly enjoyable display of skill. I feel that she has passed the mature stage of her writing and entered the next stage, where she can fully enjoy the fun of experimenting with writing.

It's a very long article. My advice is to read it slowly, bit by bit, instead of reading it all at once. You'll need some time to think and reflect on it. First of all, this is a fantasy novel, so it must contain the so-called "Dao". I've read too many stories about cultivating the "path of ruthlessness," as if only by abandoning human emotions can one attain the Great Dao. But this story is about the "path of emotions," and it features a female protagonist who follows "emotions." The author lets her love, experience, get hurt, and heal. In the female protagonist's "path," "love" is merely one manifestation of "emotion," not the only one. In this "path," people are connected through emotions. Emotions have no physical form, yet possess unimaginable power—the power to give life or death, to drive people mad, or to empower them. Therefore, they should never be underestimated. You must fully understand and comprehend these emotions to unravel their mysteries; this is spiritual practice. So what's so good about this book? It's not really the kind of "satisfying" feeling that comes from the female protagonist having had many male partners. In reality, even today, much of the education people receive equates emotions, especially intimate relationships, with morality, even for men. However, women face even greater moral pressure (we all know this is because people equate "sex" in intimate relationships with morality, and the demands on women's "sexual morality" are far higher than those on men's. Since "sex" is a crucial component of intimate relationships, the cost for women to attempt such relationships is much higher than for men). Therefore, women are usually much more cautious about trying intimate relationships than men. However, good intimate relationships are not easily obtained; they require considerable learning and understanding. This leads women to easily fall into certain fixed dilemmas. Those who dare not easily try are prone to suppressing their desire for intimate relationships, either actively or passively, leading to loneliness or hasty unions (the quality of which is unknown). Those who dare to try repeatedly are more likely to fall into the pressure of social morality. Women make up half of the world, and their plight inevitably affects men. As a result, men also feel that they are under tremendous pressure. In general, neither men nor women can escape this situation, which creates a vicious cycle. The strength of this article lies in its avoidance of satire or criticism of gender relations. Instead, it tells the story of "love" in a gentle, narrative style. It explores the natural arising of love within the context of setting aside our society's existing moral norms. While the female protagonist experiences multiple relationships, the other male and female characters also have their own. The author sincerely explains how these feelings develop. It is full of understanding and acceptance, suggesting that people can love for various reasons such as pity, redemption, appreciation, joy, and companionship, and that these forms of love are not inherently superior or inferior. I have always believed that feminism has a very gentle perspective, from which not only women but also men can benefit. This is also evident in this work through the author's interpretation of the "emotion" between men and women, despite their different but equal roles.

The author's writing style is very restrained, without any intense descriptions, but it perfectly captures the feeling of "no one loves her." Yet, the female protagonist still achieves her own fulfillment, which has nothing to do with the male protagonist. She was already fulfilled when she actively chose the life she wanted and learned to love and be loved. I wonder if there are girls in real life who feel the same way: born out of expectation, growing up in the cracks, and unable to shake off the feeling of lack of love throughout their lives. If you have the opportunity, you can read this article. Fatherly and motherly love are certainly the foundation for children to face the world, but if they are not there, we still have to face the world. Let what is missing be missing, put it behind you, don't forgive, and don't look back. The same goes for love. You can look forward to it, don't be afraid to experience it, but you don't have to force it. Simone de Beauvoir said: "Woman's misfortune lies in being surrounded by almost irresistible temptations, and everything leads her up the easy slope: instead of encouraging her to struggle, people tell her that if she just lets herself slide down, she will reach a blissful paradise: when she realizes she has been deceived by a mirage, it is too late: her strength has been exhausted in this adventure." The female protagonist, precisely because she lacks these inescapable obstacles, walks step by step, albeit painfully, with remarkable steadiness.

In this reading list, Lin Zhixia faces the fewest dilemmas for women; it's a feminist reading list, and Lin Zhixia is, for the most part, a young girl. Therefore, the tone of this article is lively and bright. In some ways, this is a fairy tale. She received so much love that she had far more courage than her peers to ignore difficulties and obstacles, and her dazzling talent was enough to help her brush aside those worldly obstacles like dust. This is such an ideal story, but who says that girls have to live a life of pain or struggle, and have to go through a vast expanse of thorns and deep sea to reach the other side? I hope all girls can have a life as dazzling as Lin Zhixia's.

This is a story with the male protagonist as the savior, but the female protagonist left such a deep impression on me that even though the two have a love story of mutual redemption, I still consider it a story with a female protagonist. Those who have seen it will surely marvel at the heroine's courage and determination to go all in. It is a profound sense of compassion and guilt, and you can see a soul that has been tormented yet refuses to give in. I usually think that women are more resilient and tolerant than men, so I am not happy to see plots where women give up their lives. However, this time, even though the heroine made such a decision, I do not think it was a kind of giving up. It was a dead end she chose for herself after judging herself with her conscience, and therefore it had a tragic color. If the heroine truly walks the path she has chosen for herself, then before Anubis's scales, her heart will be lighter than a feather.

Update: The TV series based on this book recently aired, and I felt a bit sad after watching it, so I'm writing a few words. I really like this author; this is the first book of hers I've read. Her writing style is unique and memorable. The women she portrays are loved as complete individuals—loved for their wisdom and their boundaries; loved for their vulnerability and tenderness, and even more so for the unyielding spirit that no relationship can diminish. Fei Ni in the book is the ultimate embodiment of this love. This is a girl who "knows what she wants," and love has never been her top priority. She has goals, plans, and even manages her life with a touch of "calculation." But the brilliance of the novel lies in its portrayal of a person with high self-esteem and strong principles, and how she bravely accepts the unknown while maintaining her integrity. Fei Ni's courage is just the right kind of courage: "I'm someone who avoids risks. You weren't originally in my plans, but I saw your good qualities, I acknowledge them, I accept them, and I take responsibility." She never denies her pragmatism, nor does she belittle herself because of it. Every bit of kindness she gives is something she's willing to give; every promise she makes is something she intends to keep. Such a female character was unfortunately diluted in the TV adaptation. In the drama, Fei Ni feels guilty for using the male lead, yet is also flustered and overjoyed when he confesses his feelings—this almost destroys the very foundation of her personality. A person with clear boundaries wouldn't panic over unexpected emotions, nor would they judge themselves based on their own goals. Her guilt certainly exists, but it stems from pity: she pities this vulnerable man abandoned after suffering amnesia, clearly aware that she is using a vulnerable person, rather than feeling that she has done anything wrong. Every move she makes in the relationship is a conscious choice, not a passive reaction. Even more heartbreaking than the protagonist's storyline is that of the older sister. The older sister's pride differs from Fei Ni's: Fei Ni's pride stems from a stable family background, characterized by composure and tolerance; the older sister's pride, however, is born from the fall from grace, making her more sensitive, sharp, and fiercely protective. The touching aspect of her relationship with her brother-in-law lies in her unwavering commitment to her choice, yet knowing she will face ridicule, anger, and rejection, she makes a final attempt to hold on. He, in turn, can only admire her unyielding spirit, for her sharp personality makes altruism difficult to discern. The adapted version, however, portrays the older sister as a woman passively resisting the possibility that her husband may love someone else, her beloved career becoming merely a pawn in a game of "you don't love me." This is not only a downgrade of the plot but also a degradation of her character. There's also the mother-daughter relationship. How would a mother who doesn't belong to the traditional definition of womanhood view her daughter's choice of her own path? It's a deep, unspoken understanding born of blood ties: I know my child, I know she would make that choice. I know perfectly well that she loves me, and she knows I love her. So how could she blame her child for a statement made to the outside world for the sake of her career? In a mad system, what does it matter what is said? My child and I were born together; I give her my past, my personality, and my soul. This is the mother-daughter relationship depicted in the book, not one of accusations, pleas, or tug-of-war.

Rereading it, it's still pretty good, but after thinking about it, I still feel it's a bit preachy. However, it's also clear that the author's train of thought became smoother as the story progressed, demonstrating a rich desire to express himself. I think that no matter what, independence, strength, perseverance, and hard work are always right. —Do you like what you see? It's a game targeted at women, with multiple handsome men to choose from. It's a game set in a fantasy world where you must complete levels. If you succeed, you'll have a handsome, loyal, and wealthy boyfriend! So please do your best to win over all the male leads. —Okay, wait, you mean go all out? But why would I do that? I thought it was just a game? —But that's love, and wealth and luxury, isn't it? I mean, these are all good things, you know they're rare, right? And all you have to do is make him fall in love with you to get them. —Ah, indeed, but I'm curious, if I were to obtain those "gifts," why are you so certain that the path you're referring to is simpler? I thought you meant "going all out"? —Oh, good girl, what are you saying? What other way do you have? I mean, why should ladies take any other way? I mean, of course I'll give you the best way. —I think you know what you're saying sounds strange, right? Let me explain the problem. You first told me I would get some good things, but I just needed to get "his" approval, right? Then you explicitly said it wouldn't be easy, oh, please don't deny it, you said it would require me to "go all out". —Ah, please don't do that... —You shouldn't interrupt me! You know what reward I will receive, and that's entirely up to "him" to decide. But he can only pay me a portion of what he owns, right? "He" certainly can't give me everything he has, otherwise how would "he" maintain his position as the "judge"? Greed is not a good thing. —It was you who demanded that I give it my all! Let's assume that "he" also gave it his all and got everything he wanted! But why can't I get the same thing? And it's all because you don't even allow me to follow "his" path. —Oh no, don't be ungrateful, that's a very difficult road to walk! —Oh? I suppose I'll need to "go all out" for you too? — No, dear girl, I'm afraid you'll have to give more than you can give. —But I'll get something better? —I don't know, maybe I can. —Then I will do that. —Even if you have to go down to the shore of hardship, cross the sea of suffering, abandon everything you cherish, and go to a continent where no one has ever been before. —Yes, if this is the only way, ah, I think it is, then I will do it, a real swamp is better than a false Eden. You will be lonely, utterly lonely. —Perhaps, but the new continent will have new inhabitants, and then I will no longer be alone.

A very Japanese-style light novel, with a rare style; I've hardly seen anything like it. It cleverly employs a multi-turn system. While it seems to be about the female protagonist's entanglements with different men, it's actually all about female self-growth. It's a different style altogether: "Who you are depends solely on who you choose to be."

I highly recommend this one. This author writes very interesting things. If you're interested, you can check out her other works. They have a very strong growth potential and a very clear storyline. This work likely reflects a certain stage in the author's personal reflections on life. Many of the protagonist's predicaments and suffering may be variations of the author's own experiences, and I believe the author's plot provides answers to these challenges. This book is truly a work that maintains a high standard of quality from beginning to end. Hopefully, the author has also found his own path in reality.

This is a rare historical and military-themed story on Jinjiang Literature City. The writing is fluent and the humanism is very strong. It is completely different from the common leveling-up and cheat-like elements in historical novels. The core of this book is "people", so the protagonist is destined not to follow the light and easy path of leveling up and fighting monsters. Because people have weight, and in chaotic times, the lives of people can be so crushing that any person with a conscience cannot stand up straight. Most people, even emperors and generals, need to abandon their human nature to carve out a path in such a world. This is understandable. From a psychological perspective, it is a human self-preservation mechanism. When people can't bear so much psychologically, they will self-destruct. Therefore, abandoning one's conscience under special circumstances can also be considered a self-deceptive act of self-preservation. But the author deliberately chose to write a female protagonist who refused to give up. She didn't abandon her conscience, nor did she give up on the outcome she wanted. She willingly endured this torment and pain, choosing an extremely difficult path. Therefore, she was actually endowed with a kind of divinity. God cannot save everyone, but she truly loved the world. This book clearly demonstrates a strong opposition to the notions of deceit, the law of the jungle, and survival of the fittest, making it a refreshing exception in this genre. In short, it's a book with a wealth of details, worth reading three or four times. PS: Finally, let me explain why I put this book on the feminist reading list. Yes, it's feminist, not female-centric or female-centric books. In fact, feminism tends to explore the self-identity and value of women, and therefore emphasizes, understands and praises certain qualities of women. We can imagine how the same themes and ideas would be presented in male-oriented fiction. Basically, regardless of how the text describes suffering or how compassionate and morally upright the protagonist is, this is mostly used to highlight the protagonist's difference from others, thus showcasing their special status. In other words, "suffering" merely serves as a justification for the protagonist's "leveling up." And this is already a writing style with empathy. There are also many other styles that don't need to explain the legitimacy of "leveling up," where the protagonist actively uses "suffering" to achieve that. All of this reflects the influence of male cognition, which emphasizes rational choices and favors the "best outcome." Women, however, are different. Feminism praises inclusivity and empathy; women are often more empathetic when faced with the suffering of others, regardless of gender. Therefore, women need greater perseverance and decisiveness to make decisions, which actually proves that women often possess greater resilience. This is the core of the portrayal of many female characters in this article. Therefore, it is inevitable that this book appears in the female-oriented category. In the male-oriented category, this book would probably cause some controversy. A large number of people would not praise the heroine's contentment with poverty, would not understand her initial choice not to use her innate talents, and would even ridicule her painful struggle under the influence of the "Black Blade". However, the feminist perspective praises these things, which is why this book appears on this list.

The female protagonist is not a genius born with knowledge, nor does she possess the compassion of a saint; she is not a typical protagonist. An extremely good student who is very good at learning An ambitious man desperately seeking power. A gifted political animal, A princess who, at a historical juncture where shackles were gradually tightening, personally obtained everything she had sought. A brief description of the female protagonist: She is not the kind of girl who would feel ashamed of her low moral standards, but she is indeed a princess who would not accept being slaughtered by others when her country is broken. P. S.: The author's descriptions of supporting characters are also interesting. The author's descriptions of men in his articles are consistently restrained and playful, while the descriptions of women inevitably reveal pity, praise, and encouragement. To be honest, the author has tried his best to restrain his bias towards women in his writing, including but not limited to using extensive indirect descriptions, avoiding direct praise, and presenting many difficulties in the plot. But this tendency is just revealed between the lines, which is really cute.

Duo Da Da, a writer whose fairy tales don't even resemble fairy tales, this is the most fairy tale-like book she has ever written. The author's writing style is already quite mature, and the writing is fluent and there's nothing more to say about it. The author's other works are also good, and some are even more representative, but this one gives the feeling that the author treats the female protagonist better in this story. No matter how happy the endings of the female protagonists in the author's other works are, there are always some heavy things in them. It's just that the author uses her skillful writing techniques and plot settings to weaken those parts. In comparison, she treats the female protagonist Sisi in this work like she is taking care of a baby. I wonder what circumstances the author wrote this book under; it's quite interesting to think about.
