In Memory of All Those Years I Went Crazy Chasing New Chapters
Thinking back, it must have been about ten years ago. I used to be desperate to keep reading, and that urge still comes over me now and then, though it isn't the norm anymore. I suppose that's growing up, but whenever the feeling returns, it's still hard to resist. This list holds the books I've read over the years that left an impression on me. It may not be complete; it's just a way to remember.

Urban Fiction, Entertainment, and Transmigration: The Best Picks
1. My main focus is urban and entertainment-industry fiction, with some historical, sci-fi, and spacefaring stories, as well as the occasional indescribable masterpiece. Xuanhuan, cultivation, and immortal-demon fiction rarely make this list. That’s just my personal taste. 2. I often browse other people’s lists too. Whenever I see a book I love recommended by lots of readers, I’m happy, but also a little intimidated. I can only work harder to avoid repeating the great books already on everyone e

Red Chamber Novels I’ve Enjoyed
2026.6.1 1. Most Dream of the Red Chamber fan fiction falls under alternate history, but it's fundamentally different from conventional historical fiction. The unique charm of these stories lies in the lives of the women in the garden. If a book uses the title Dream of the Red Chamber but ignores the fates of the women throughout, then the words "Red Chamber" in the title are meaningless. If it's just a historical novel wearing a Red Chamber disguise, it would be better to write straight-up hist

I can't accept being with Lin Daiyu, and it has actually become a pure romance here. There must be a limit to opening a harem. It is acceptable to have a maid or the like as a concubine, but the two heroines marrying the protagonist at the same time is obviously a failure. It is neither realistic nor in line with the heroine's character. No matter how generous Xue Baochai is, he will not allow Lin Daiyu to have the same status as her, not to mention that Lin Daiyu is very sensitive and jealous. Furthermore, how many people in history could marry the legitimate daughter of such a big family at the same time? How shameless are they? I would rather see Lin Daiyu die as sadly as in the original novel, than see her and Xue Baochai serve the same husband together!
At first he said he wanted to leave the Jia Mansion, but then he decided not to leave. A bastard still insists on hanging out in the Jia Mansion. The benefits will not be shared, and the bad things will all be yours. Even if the Jia Mansion is really revitalized, it is better to set up his own business if he has the time.
It's hard to comment, this is my general impression
I have read more than 600 chapters so far, and the protagonist keeps saying that he is in a very aggrieved state. As for the female protagonist. Currently confirmed to be accepted: Qingwen, Baochai, Ruyi (maid), Daiyu and Su Shishi, and one named Lin. The last two are original characters, and the female lead is missing. Possibly accepted: Qin Keqing, Ning Xiao (original), Li Wan (unsure), Xiren. Plot of giving away girls: Xue Baoqin, Jin Xun gave to Baoyu, Fu Qiufang gave to Qin Zhong, Xichun gave to an original character of Fatty (personally extremely disgusted), Tan Chun seemed to be married to the King of Wu, but it seemed that it was blown, the second sister You and Heping'er were given to Jia Lian, the third sister You was given to Liu Xianglian, and the others were forgotten for the time being. Poisonous points of the plot: 1. All the jewels and jewels were strengthened by Jia Zhen, and one of them was even strengthened to death. 2. Yuanchun gave birth to a prince, but the prince was killed not long after. He used the writing method of "the woman in the refrigerator" and used the tragedy of the female character to reflect the anger of the protagonist. Yuanchun should not dare to write the scene to death in the scene he is watching, and it is probably the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. 3. The author seems to have thought about writing Daiyu to death, and still uses the same routine to express the protagonist's anger in this way, but the identity of this person was temporarily changed to Daiyu's aunt and Lin Ruhai's concubine. 4. The author's early writing of the protagonist was very awkward. He wanted to escape Jia's house in various ways. He wrote many plots in which Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and others almost ruined each other's career many times. Even Jia's mother made things difficult for her, and ended up making dumplings. 5. I wrote "special writings" on Li Wan and Wang Xifeng's body and appearance many times, but refused to accept them. I don't quite understand this behavior. 6. I don't believe that Jin Tong was sent to Baoyu's room without leaving any grudges when he almost died because of Baoyu's cowardice.
Have you read the novels of Feng Lazi, Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, Sister Ruan 123 and Jia Mu at the same time?
Nine and a half of the ten books in The Red Chamber are the bastard stream. The bastard stream looks a bit awkward. In the feudal dynasty, the bastard was born disabled. No matter how great his achievements were in the patriarchal clan, he could not surpass the legitimate son. Look through the history books to see which family's bastard can surpass the legitimate son, and see which online novel dares to use the disabled as the protagonist. There is a difference between the concubine flow and the waste material flow.
He is worthy of being the protagonist! He is so greedy! I look down upon him very much! I feel that except for some knowledge he learned in modern times, there is no trace of modern people in his thoughts and personality! And often slapped in the face! I'm not saying that in ancient times, he must be a couple for the rest of his life, but he shouldn't say that he won't be with her and then slap himself in the face soon after! Just think about it! There is no need to say so many words to cover up, it is better to be generous! And what I despise most about him is what happened between him and Sister Lin. First, he was sorry for Sister Bao (he and Sister Bao were already engaged at that time. Sister Lin is different from those prostitutes. She is a person of status, and she will pose a threat to Sister Bao.) Second, he is not in line with his original promise to Lin Ruhai (a bit like being a thief). Also, the male protagonist's outlook on life is incorrect! This is the first time I read a novel from the perspective of the male protagonist. Is it true that male protagonists in novels like to pretend to be bad and have a harem? Moreover, this male protagonist is quite like a holy father (he wants to save all the miserable people, especially women, in the original Red Mansions)
Seeing that Daiyu fell in love with Jia Huan, she gave up the article, "Dad Lin asked you to take care of your daughter before his death. This is how you took care of your daughter, and you still have to be a little girl. That's bullshit. I'm afraid my father will not rest in peace until he dies." If I were the male protagonist, I would definitely keep distance from Daiyu Baochai. People like to play solitaire poems, but the male protagonist only knows how to copy poems.
Don't call yourself a lover when you've already been a stallion. Isn't that disgusting? Take it! Sow the seeds! Come out, Daiyu powder, Baochai powder, and Qingwen powder. I'll go first! Is it wrong to write Sister Lin like this, a strange woman who values love more than life, and in the end a hundred girls serve one husband? I regret spending 40 yuan to read a stallion story. Don't write this thing under the banner of Dream of Red Mansions. Finally, have you read Yin of the Burial Flower? "The essence comes and goes clean again, and does not let the dirty water fall into the ditch" is Daiyu's original intention.
After reading hundreds of chapters, I really can't stand it. Let me talk about my personal poisoning points: 1. He kept emphasizing that he was leaving the Jia Mansion. There was no need to save the Jia Mansion. Say a few words to show your attitude, keep learning and emphasize, keep emphasizing, and smile indifferently at every turn, which makes you feel sick to your stomach. And in the end, instead of saving the Jia family, I guess Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang both died a good death. Haha, the two people almost killed the protagonist in the first place. In the later stage, I guess the author's urinary behavior can be cleared up. Book friends, if you see the ending of these two people, please tell me. 2. Selling dog meat with a sheep's head, and writing official articles under the guise of the Red Mansion. It's exactly like "The Rebirth of the Bastard and the Rise of the Bastard", the path to the rise of the Bastard in ancient times. What kind of story is "The Red Mansion"? 3. I feel like the main article is abusive. 4. The most important thing is: I heard that I took in Lin Xue, two famous prostitutes, a few maids, and a princess..., Um, um, um, you don't want the gold hairpins, but you like the famous prostitutes? I can understand why Qin Keqing is the most beautiful woman in the Red Mansion and she and Jia Rong are loving and harmonious~ Is this the description of Jia Rong's character in the original novel? His father, Jia Zhen, took his wife by force, where were the others? That's about it, personal opinion.
I find that almost all those who write about Red Mansions are concubines. If they are not concubines, it seems they can't write? Looking at the books, nine and a half out of ten are the concubines of the Jia family! It's 2020 and the flow of waste materials is really no longer possible😖
