   This is a very, very special book. The career storyline is exciting, and as for the romance, I personally think it has a unique flavor. However, to be honest, this book may not have a large audience. So if you feel that the female lead is different from what you expected or makes you uncomfortable, you should stop reading now, because the later plot may not satisfy you, or may even make you angry (if you can't understand the female lead's characterization).

   I've had this article saved for a long time, but I haven't clicked to read it yet, worried it might be too dry (too much technical jargon would make the story unbalanced). I did have that feeling at first, but it really got more and more exciting as it started with the battle of wits and courage between foreigners and foreigners. It filled me with excitement and pride. Our nation is united, our people are great, and our country is very strong now. But what would our country be like now if we hadn't taken those detours? I sincerely wish our motherland prosperity and strength.

   It's been a while since I've read a sweet romance novel. Although it's set in a prestigious academy, the main characters are all quite normal, and there aren't any mindless plot twists. Especially the male and female leads—they're both so reliable and charming! The initial tug-of-war and the later, crazy teasing kept me grinning from ear to ear. I'm giving it a rating now! Author, please update with the extra chapters soon!! (My five-star rating is being sanctioned)

   Undoubtedly a gem of a detective revenge novel. While Western fantasy might be a bit niche, this level of popularity doesn't quite match its quality. It boasts a fantastic ensemble cast, especially numerous compelling female characters who straddle the line between good and evil. It's quite long, but I'm certain I'll read it two or three times. The detective theme combined with political intrigue and revenge, with subtle foreshadowing and countless plot threads to unearth, makes for a truly exceptional read.

    Aside from the very authentic flavor, each story gets darker and more brutal than the last. The final revelation in the "Tongue" chapter was definitely a bit creepy, but overall it's still a lighthearted and sweet story (?). The "Eye" chapter is my favorite—a love story between a human and a ghost, full of dark, horrific, and insane elements. It's my absolute favorite, and the ending is a happy one (thumbs up). The "Flesh" chapter is a folk and supernatural tale, the most inhuman of the three. There's no real affection between the human and the monster from beginning to end; it's mostly about the tension of a battle royale, the despair of fruitless struggle, and the final, selfless sacrifice. The protagonist, Gan Tang, is probably the most human-like of the three (although he seems the most ruthless). He just happened to encounter the most abnormal person, which makes him all the more pitiful. I think the best ending would have been for them to perish together at Dragon King's Pool, thus eliminating the evil and freeing him from his suffering. But the author is still cruel, letting him live on in that way. Even after reproducing with the insect monster for over forty years, he probably won't find peace. It's hard for him not to die. It's better if he dies and leaves the insect monster to die with him; otherwise, if they wait for the next breeding season, humanity will likely suffer a disaster. This story is truly unwatchable except for the bizarre thrills and the adorable ghostly insect monster. The sweetness is both tragic and powerful. I admire him the most and feel the most sorry for him. He truly suffered an undeserved misfortune from beginning to end.

    A decent crime thriller. Personally, I think it gets better as it progresses.

    This is the most satisfying historical fiction novel to read, focusing on everyday family life and gossip. Although there are many eccentric and extreme characters, thankfully the main characters' families don't cause any major trouble, and the main characters consistently gain the upper hand in their conflicts, making the gossip very enjoyable. The ensemble cast is well-written, highlighting the complexity of human nature. Reading through the novel also evokes a sense of (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling or reflection) about the changing times and the changing nation. (However, there are some issues with retconning facts and numerous typos, which are minor flaws.)
