A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was *Immortal Cauldron*. I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

Must-Read Gems and Promising Picks (Updated Irregularly)
I’ve been reading for over a decade and aim to recommend only the best. You won’t regret reading these. Supporting new books I’ll pick a few of the new books advertised here and feature them for a couple of days. If you’re promoting a book, remember to follow me. I really don’t have time to read every one of them right now, so at most I can give them a few more clicks. Later, I’ll pick out the ads in this list that interest me and give them a proper read.
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Historical Fiction Masterpieces
A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
All Kinds of Fan Fiction and Interesting Reads
I wouldn’t dare claim anything else, but this list is definitely made with sincerity. I absolutely will not add books I haven’t read. I’ll seriously present my thoughts on every book to all my fellow readers.
Books with No Romance or Only One Couple
No romance or one pairing These are books I like, mostly completed. They're satisfying stories where the protagonist doesn't suffer needlessly. I'll mark ongoing books. I like following several different genres at once to balance my mood and keep plots from blending together. I might pair an intense killing spree with a farming story, clear-cut love and hate with emotionally detached characters, or sorrow and anger with a warm, healing story. If I've tried a book and enjoyed it, I'll add it here
My Heart Longs for You, Like a Deer Chasing a Stream
The desire for human connection is one of the strongest urges in the human heart. It is a fundamental human need, a force that brings people, tribes, families, and societies together. To be denied this need is to invite madness or destruction, whether of oneself or of others. You are not the sole survivor of the accident. You are the only one who didn't get out.
A Fun List from an Eight-Year Bookworm
A mix of genres I personally enjoy. No brainless harem stories or gender-bender novels. Sensible values only _(:з」∠)_ Also, I'm a lazy fish.
A Wandering Heart
Where my heart leads, where my dreams take me.

Books I've Followed Over the Years
I've been reading web novels for 11 years and have read a lot. When I decided to make a list, I realized I hadn't actually followed many books all the way to the end. I dropped plenty after the opening chapters, and others when they went behind a paywall because I didn't feel like paying to continue. Those aren't worth adding here. But some I followed until they were abandoned, while others I eventually stopped reading for various reasons. At least these had something going for them, whether the

Thoughts after reading: As a bookworm for more than ten years, I have read a lot of fictional historical novels. I have read nearly 500 chapters of this book, now let me talk about my thoughts after reading it. This book has more than a thousand chapters and more than five million words, and I probably won't be able to finish it. The reasons are as follows First, the writing style of this book is too biased towards vernacular, and it seems that the sense of substitution is not enough. After all, those who like to read this kind of novels still have some requirements in this regard. You don't need to be precise in every sentence, but at least it should have a little bit of ancient Chinese meaning in it. The second point is that the narrative in the book is fragmented and unclear. The author's literary skills are still a little lacking. After all, it is an imaginary historical novel. The paragraphs and descriptions are not clear enough. There is always a sense of disconnection between the first chapter and the last chapter. Even if it is divided into flashbacks, it always feels very abrupt. There is a feeling that the preface does not match the afterword, and the reading is not smooth. The third point is that the character description is not clear enough and the off-topic description is too wordy. Personally, I feel that the characterization in this book is relatively unsuccessful. Many descriptions are long, but basically miss the point. In the end, it feels like it is describing a person's past and personality, but there is no outstanding point. It was a lengthy introduction, but I didn't remember any of it. Just like the so-called venomous counselor, except that the author deliberately uses the word venomous in a few chapters, it actually doesn't leave a deep impression on people at all. The fourth point is that the character dialogue has no characteristics. In fact, this is the same as the third point. The characters in the article speak without any characteristics, and they are also long-winded and without focus. For example, in the conversation between Chen Xishen and Zhao Shi in Chapter 469, he introduced Nan Shiba in a long paragraph, but he did not describe Nan Shiba's characteristics. It would be better to say: This person has no plans and no desires. Comes simple and clear. The fifth point is that the description of the general environment in the book is a mess. It's probably because the author didn't have a structure at first, but even if the first few chapters are not complete, I've read nearly 500 chapters, and I still haven't seen anything added by the author, and it's still confusing. Since it is written about the timeline of the late Southern Song Dynasty, and the history itself is fictitious, it is necessary to describe the basic pattern, but the author just doesn't have anything about the Later Zhou and Shu, and it is easy for readers to confuse the Southern Song period with the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. At least there should be a description of how many countries there are, the distribution of power, etc. The sixth point is that the description in the book is too bland and fails to grasp the key points. There is always a feeling that when you have just become interested, when you feel that you should take a close-up, it will be taken away with a single brush stroke, which ends in an anticlimax. For example, the details of military training in the book should be more described in writing. Zhao Shi, Du Shanhu, etc. Can be portrayed more vividly. This paragraph can also be used to connect the relationships and characters of the civil servants and generals in the court, making this paragraph a shining point in the book. However, I guess the author probably writes this type of novel, and the key events are not well captured, so the overall feeling of the book is too bland, without any sense of ups and downs. The final summary of this book is that the writing style is slightly lacking, the story structure is bland, the character portrayal is uncharacteristic, and the overall description is too poor. PS: I'm not trolling just for the sake of trolling, otherwise I wouldn't have the patience to read nearly 500 chapters. I just wrote down my true feelings after reading it. However, because I haven't written it for a long time, maybe the description above is a bit unsatisfactory. Generally speaking, as an old bookworm, I am not satisfied with this book. Although it is not useless, I can only give a tasteless review. This is not directed at the author, but when I read this book during a book shortage, I felt that the greater my hopes, the greater my disappointment. I hope the author can think carefully about his next book and have an outline before writing it. Come on💪.
The strange thing is, am I the only one who feels that such a ruthless character description of the protagonist Zhao Shi is the closest to the iron-blooded side of the male in reality. War is a purgatory-like existence on earth. Is this kind of character more convincing?
[Comment] I have been reading this book for 7 years...
Really...! But the books are also good, and I have ordered them all intermittently! Post a post to commemorate it! [Fn=2_1][fn=2_1]
After reading novels for more than ten years, only the protagonist Zhao Shi in this book has stuck with me. He really wrote about what I think is the iron-blooded side of men. It is impossible to find a novel whose protagonist is as majestic as the protagonist Zhao Shi, who lives in eight seats and has the aura of a majestic general.
[Comment] This book is getting more and more wordy.
The author seems to have suddenly lost a lot of quality. If you don't want to write, then don't write.
In the feudal dynasty, the leader has great achievements, and if he does not stand on his own feet, he will die.
I have been reading it since 2008, and I reviewed it again two days ago. I personally think it is a good book. A good man, he will be granted the title of Marquis, but he will take it immediately. The most exciting sentence is: Under the sky, those who are not my old friends are my enemies. Between the four seas, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
I was originally very interested in this book, but I didn't want to read it for a moment.
One of my favorite protagonists at the moment, I like him as much as I like Han Lao Mo.
Are there any novels about characters like Zhao Shi, a fierce warrior? I have been reading books for 10 years and found this book. . . .
