Books I've Read
Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.

[Cozy Everyday Life] If the Spring Breeze Cherishes Flowers, Could You Let Me Be Young Again?
What is this reading list about? It's about childhood dreams folded into paper planes, and the distant places we still long to embrace when we grow up. It's about how much sky a window can hold, and how far a pair of feet can carry us. It's about the seasons turning in the flower bed downstairs, and the gentleness the cat at the end of the alley teaches us. It's about the colorful figures who live between the pages of old books, and the romance we will one day write with our own hands. It's

Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've

As for new book genres, magic and mysticism are probably more popular right now. The environment for entertainment novels isn't great right now. Firstly, Qidian (a popular online literature platform) is very strict, and you can easily get your book taken down. Secondly, the entertainment industry is too chaotic right now; you never know who might expose their own scandal. Unless it's a fictional world, but then you have to consider the issue of reader immersion.

I hope the author can see this.
Lately, I've noticed the author frequently citing health reasons for missing updates. Occasional breaks aren't a big deal, but you really need to pay attention to your health. The author, Squid, used to have various health issues, but I see him exercising three times a week, swimming and running, and I've never heard him mention any health problems. In short, I hope the author takes care of their health. You can take your time writing, and we can take our time reading.
"Gu Dao Chang Sheng" is Bai Bai's second book. I followed her from "Literary Era." My impression of this book is that the writing is still very good, and Bai Bai is still very skilled at describing characters. However, the content is too bland and lacks conflict (perhaps due to the subject matter). As a novel, it lacks tension and becomes a bit dull in the middle and later stages.
Jiang Xiaozhai is not worthy of being the female lead.
The female protagonist, Jiang Xiaozhai, is a freak created by forcibly combining two characters. She is the author's spokesperson, using her to project his distorted values. On one hand, she has many inner monologues and enjoys talking nonsense and vulgarities, making her a typical modern person, which gives her a sense of humanity.
After reading about a hundred chapters, I felt a conflict between their values and mine, but values are subjective. Nevertheless, I still wanted to give some feedback. It seems that Gu (the protagonist), Jiang (the female lead), and Long (the female supporting character?) Haven't even cultivated their Dao yet, but they've already started treating people like ants.
It's getting a bit chubby, time to start the slaughter. It's a bit frustrating that updates are infrequent.
Actually, judging by the writing style alone, this book is definitely at the level of a top author, and the plot progression is also fine; it's definitely a top-tier read. However, it has a fatal flaw: the strong female lead style. First of all, this is a male-oriented novel, meaning the majority of the audience is male.
Seemingly Confucian yet Daoist – Neo-Confucianism and the Philosophy of Mind
Among the five masters of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, apart from the Cheng brothers who were pure scholars, the other three all had elements of spiritual practice. Zhou Dunyi discussed the Taiji Convex Theory, Zhang Zai discussed the Qi Transformation Universe Theory, and Shao Kangjie discussed the Huangji Jingshi Theory.
Almost finishedLet me give a brief review of Xiao Zhai, I saw some people in the book review section saying they didn't like Xiao Zhai, that the female lead was too domineering. Okay, first of all, this book was written by a female author (yes, a young woman), so there's a certain degree of subjective bias (to some extent). Then there's the issue of the female lead being too ruthless.
