Handpicked Reads, Fellow Fans Welcome
The works by Qidian's great authors have truly become tiresome to read. More and more new readers are joining these days, while longtime readers are also developing aesthetic fatigue. It is like that classic line that has been repeated for thirty years: it really felt thrilling in the past, but now whenever I see it, I only feel embarrassed and speechless 😓 If the great authors would only change their styles a little... This list consists of novels with ideas, concepts, and styles that I find d

Marvel, Harry Potter, entertainment, history, fantasy, urban reborn stories. Currently updating I hope fellow readers will recommend more books to me 💯 Most of my tastes are reflected in the list's title 💯 Please don't recommend xuanhuan novels 💯 I'm open to quality virtual reality game novels. I used to enjoy them years ago, after all 💯 I absolutely can't get into Korean entertainment novels where the female lead is Kim Tae-yeon or Im Yoon-a 💯 I'd rather the Marvel Universe didn't include Mutan

Every Hong Kong entertainment novel features Zhao Yazhi; it's getting tiresome.
Theaters reign supreme, both then and now. In the 1980s, screenwriters in Hong Kong were worthless, even less than actors. Back then, if Shaw Brothers blacklisted you, you could retire.
Movies like *The Bodyguard*, *Mr. & Mrs. Brooks*, and *Home Alone* were huge hits primarily because they were starring Americans. In the 80s, 90s, and even 00s, the image of Chinese people in America was similar to that of African refugees in the eyes of Chinese people.
Essays
I spent several days finishing this unfinished book, and I have so much to say. I'm a huge fan of Hong Kong entertainment, and aside from Lao Wang's "Dream Hong Kong," this is basically my favorite Hong Kong entertainment book. I like Joey Wong, Rosamund Kwan, Michelle Reis, Loletta Lee, Yammie Lam, Vivian Chow… but heroes age quickly, and beauties are often short-lived.
Personally, I think the biggest flaw in most Hong Kong entertainment novels is the female lead, especially those featuring actresses like Angie Chiu, Brigitte Lin, Rosamund Kwan, and Audrey Hepburn. To put it bluntly, those stars are mostly fictional characters on screen. Given the opportunity to choose in real life, most Chinese people would choose based on practical considerations.
The protagonist has over ten women, and only has one child after ten years—that's ridiculous! With $20 billion in capital, why is he still so close to TVB? A normal person would have started their own TV station long ago. His constant bickering and mockery of Fang Yihua is just unbelievable.
I just can't appreciate Rosamund Kwan; I've never seen anything beautiful about her.
To those who complain that celebrities have never sold [something], I just want to say one thing: "If God hadn't created Edison Chen, how would we have seen celebrity X?"
I've never understood why they didn't acquire ATV. Sir Run Run Shaw wanted to control TVB for decades; wouldn't that be like working for someone else?
Teresa Teng's real beauty was far superior to Brigitte Lin's.
