Reading List No. 3: Urban Fiction
This is the third one... I just saw that there's another categorized book-list event, and since I can make an urban fiction category, I went ahead and created one. Urban fiction has the most quality picks, after all. [Here are my other three lists: Main list: long reviews focused on new sprouts, with over 20,000 followers and 35,000 without comments. You're welcome to follow! Fantasy list: mainly ongoing fantasy stories Sci-fi list: "Book List No. 4: Sci-Fi" Anime-related list: "Book List N
Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time
Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare
Urban Legends
Read good books and become a night owl in the city. I only recommend top-notch urban novels. If you like them, please give each book a like and tap ⭐️ to save the list.
The Reading Drought Relief Station!
Every book on this list has been carefully selected. Many include experiences drawn from the author's own life. I don't like simplistic stories. I read mainly to broaden my experience and discover different worlds. Urban and historical novels test an author's life experience; without enough of it, it's hard to write a story with real flavor! I've read hundreds of novels, and they've ruined my prospects. Now I want nothing at all! I've also developed some opinions of my own about fiction. Thanks
For Experienced Readers Only
A discerning reader with over ten years of experience. I choose carefully and only read books with smart characters. Some books have been taken down, so I'm replacing them. Shelf space is limited.
My Book List
Mostly books that catch my eye
Educational and Entertaining Novels That Teach You Something
Some novels carry their authors’ ideas, whether or not that was the author’s intention. I’ve genuinely learned lessons about life from them, and I also had a great time reading them. Online fiction has wisdom about how to live, too. It isn’t all disposable entertainment.
These Are My Tastes, Leave If You Don't Like Them!
In my opinion, there are some questionable parts, but nothing serious! Please don't obsess over minor mistakes. If you can't let them go, then don't read novels. If you can't accept that, write a book yourself that you think is flawless and let the readers enjoy it! There are trolls everywhere, but I hope the author won't pay them any mind! Many excellent books have been ruined by trolls! These days, I always feel like there are no books left to read. Alas! So many books are on my shelves, yet
For My Own Reading
Personal Reading List
I've been reading for 15 years. I only keep track of books I can actually stick with.
Creativity Needs Readers' Care
If you're looking for innovative web novels rather than stories where individual combat power just keeps increasing, check out my list. If you've followed it, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks to everyone who sent me flowers. I was a little surprised.
No Shallow Novels or Mindless Stories
No amateurish stories or mindless fiction. I've already put these books to the test.

I mostly recommend promising new novels, though I update now and then. Thirteen years as a bookworm, so quality is guaranteed.

Fifteen-Year Bookworm's Collector's Edition: Classics to Remember and Finished Masterpieces
Books I've read over the past ten-plus years, ones I enjoyed and can still remember finding. Some are books I'm reading now. I used to read all sorts of things, but these days I prefer lighter reads. I'm here for a good time! I find fantasy, infinite-world, historical, xianxia, martial arts, and game novels a bit tiring, though there are plenty of excellent works among them, simply because there are so many. Lately, I've been enjoying transmigration, rebirth, plane-hopping, officialdom, urban, a

Books I've Always Loved (Updated)
I've been following these for ages. Let's share them!
Made to Order
New books worth a read. Enter with caution! Everything on this list was added while it was still new. I’m too lazy to remove the ones that were later abandoned by their authors. I’m against formulaic stories and only recommend interesting new books.
Reading Is Just for Fun
No pressure
Fast-Paced, No Torturing the Protagonist, Just a Fun, Easy Read
Feel-good reads! Please recommend some good farming novels. Ranches and farms don't count... No books from the bestseller lists! No old books! Thanks to the few readers who sent flowers. What a lovely surprise! 😁

The updates are inconsistent. While the overall concept is good, some parts of the writing lack focus. Everything going smoothly is understandable, given the protagonist's reincarnation, but without the intensity of business warfare, there needs to be some added interest. The characters are too flat, making the story bland and boring. This is just my personal opinion, and I hope the author can improve. Characters shouldn't be static; they need interaction and development.
Why do so many people ask if a novel about urban life has a single female lead? Reasonableness is only one aspect; the most important thing is that we really hate it when the protagonist says "I love you" to one girl and then says it to someone else. It's really annoying.
The author who was fooled
No wonder the results are so bad; these authors are all fooled by book reviews. Who reads a novel with only one female lead? Most novels these days have multiple female leads. If you don't include those, who's going to read it? In reality, rich people have multiple mistresses. Are you trying to write a novel that's so innocent and innocent to fool elementary school students?
It's not a matter of single or multiple female leads; it's that right after the protagonist's rebirth, he proclaims how much he loves and is devoted to his wife from his previous life, but then within a few chapters, he's already developing feelings for another woman. This is disgusting to read.
That's really toxic. He starts off acting like he loves his girlfriend so much, then immediately starts flirting with two other girls. That's why I dislike harem novels—they're all outwardly affectionate, but secretly depraved.
The author is being a bit too presumptuous to allocate employee incentives solely from their own shares. →_→
If I were the author, I'd change the protagonist's name. Why are all the surnames in the Hundred Family Surnames just Lin or Ye? And why are the given names just Fan, Feng, or Yun? How hard is it to come up with names? They have absolutely no distinguishing features! On the contrary, the supporting characters and villains have awesome names! Ugh, my embarrassment is acting up again! Just venting, I heard that over 20% of novel protagonists are named Lin Feng.
I'm currently on chapter 79, and I have some things I need to say, please forgive me. I'm genuinely baffled. They knew to separate the company early on, so why did they suddenly decide to put the new subsidiary under the parent company? Partly because they might not have enough personal funds, and partly because they were unsure about future development and wanted to mitigate risk.
The book is almost finished, and it's a bit of a shame it hasn't reached the "best read" category. The author has inserted a lot of personal opinions into this book; I hope the next one will be more of an urban fantasy, focusing more on daily life, so it can be longer.
What are the differences between the books "Giants of the Times" and "1997"? Even the names are the same, and the part introducing the first love was copied and pasted, right? There are too many repetitive character background descriptions. I felt very disconnected from the story when I started reading the second book. 😭
