A Middle-Aged Reader's Book Nook
Thirty is a unique age. The passion and impulsiveness of youth have faded, but you haven't yet entered the dreary middle years. Put simply, you can still get it up, but you don't feel like jerking off anymore. That carries over to reading novels. Invincible harem power fantasies and cliché wish-fulfillment stories have long since worn thin, but it's hard to settle down with serious literature either. So all you can do is pick novels that seem “fun.”

A Bookworm's List: One Billion Characters Read
I've been reading web novels since volunteering at the 2010 World Expo, so it's been n years. I've gone from obscure apps to Zhui Shu Shen Qi, and now support authors by reading on Qidian. I've read well over a billion words. This list records old favorites I still remember and new books I'm following now. Creativity: original, distinctive ideas that break new ground. Plot: strong characterization, foreshadowing, and twists. Emotion: excitement, heartfelt moments, comedy, or warmth.

Years of Satisfying Reads: Fresh Ideas, Great Pacing, and Smart Characters
I personally don't care for unlimited-flow, xianxia, or harem novels. Plenty of stories have settings and writing that are just as good as those by big-name authors, but their authors can't manage three or more updates a day. Web novels are all about the thrills, so frequent updates are one of the main ways to keep readers hooked. That's why top authors are so skilled at showing off and teasing readers to hit their excitement buttons, like some kind of post-orgasm clarity. Of course, that's what

The wizard in this book is extremely cowardly. He is provoked by mortals, bullied by nobles, and suppressed by the church. When the protagonist goes to Gumu Town for his first investigation, he is targeted in various ways by mortals and the church, and the protagonist still has to smile in the face. If there is something extraordinary in the world, as an ordinary person, I have been teased and targeted in various ways. How do you think "He" will treat me and other mortals? Will it be a slap in the face, a cramp and skinning, or torture of the soul? I just read this book. I read it as a mystery novel, but it was too frustrating. I skipped it after reading it. I don't expect the protagonist to be invincible when he comes, but the major he studied is too unreasonable to face this world. How can someone who has power be targeted?
It's over. Well, let me tell you my thoughts. I have been working on this book for about three years since I was in college. I gradually fell in love with the wizard genre because of watching the wizarding world. Finally, I found this different wizard novel. It was also the first time I came into contact with the genre of grammy mythology novels. It is very novel. Although the plot in the early stage is indeed a bit boring, the story and the emotional description of the characters in the later period have indeed made great progress. The results are really bleak. I am very afraid of the author tj, but I found that he is really a perseverant author. He did not give up because of poor grades, nor did he perfunctory, but continued to improve his writing skills. It is amazing. I can see that the author's later writing no longer regards writing as a job, but for too many things that he wants to stick to, original intentions, dreams, tempering himself, etc. I look forward to your next book 😁
Very well written. Although there is some chicken catching ahead. (For example, you become a martial arts master after two fights.) But overall it's a really great piece of work. First, the world view of this work is complete. A beautiful big framework was set from the beginning. Even if there seem to be loopholes, the author has filled them in bit by bit. The story guides readers to slowly piece together an exquisite and grand puzzle. This is something I personally enjoy a lot. A good story allows readers to see the huge and wonderful world, and also allows readers to slowly experience and discover this world. Secondly, the character creation ability is better than that of many other authors. Each character's personality also grows steadily and reasonably as the story develops. The protagonist looks cold, but actually has a bottom line that should be abided by. The protagonist "goes crazy" with the utmost sense and logic. What's more remarkable about the author's character creation is that the characters complement each other and complement the characters around them. For example, using the sensibility of the "female protagonist" to contrast the rationality of the male protagonist. This greatly enhances the interest of the story and avoids describing the characters in the story too much. Everything about the characters lies in their interactions and actions. Third, the rigorous and delicate story structure and plot development fully demonstrate the author's good intentions. Although I personally don't like the just-completed Imperial City volume, the final battle royale and the part where the protagonist realizes that the emperor is the one who wants to kill him are still wonderful. Of course, the current volume is also a bit too childish. (For example, a certain tsundere girl only has one "loyal" "little lover" left after "one page". And having turned on the unparalleled assassination mode is the beginning of breaking the unspoken rules, but only when the protagonist arrives does she wake up and start to fight back.) However, the author's screenwriting level is still higher than that of many other authors. I don't want to express dissatisfaction with the author here, I just want to say that I think that with the author's structural ability in the "Holy Grail" volume and the "Ancient Capital" volume, these stories may have more interesting developments. Of course, these are just my personal opinions, and there are many shortcomings. Please also Haihan. There is a lot more I want to say, but because I am in the final stage of my cancer, I am too lazy to explain everything in detail. (Even if I list three points, the writing is confusing and disorderly) Overall, the author's quality is very high, and perhaps there is some room for improvement. Very much looking forward to the author's next stories. I think highly of you, author, and please continue to write good stories. (Even if I can't write a story, luckily I can appreciate the stories of many, many people) "Technical work should be rewarded!"
One of the best Western fantasy films I have seen in more than ten years
If I want to briefly provide a general impression of this book to other book friends who read it, then I think the most appropriate one is the vivid and strong sense of pictures. Every character appearing in the book lives vividly and vividly in this bizarre world, and each unique individual's emotions, voice, appearance, and even inconspicuous little thoughts are presented in a very three-dimensional way. To be honest, it is really surprising that there are so many independent personalities in a long serial novel. The plot so far is relaxed and well-detailed, the perspective changes without leaving any trace, and the conflict progression is natural and reasonable. Overall, it has really greatly satisfied my expectations for the various subsequent plots. Even the evaluation of "relaxation and relaxation" is a bit biased, and it should be more appropriate to use interlocking layers to progress. The emotions, personality of the characters in the story, and the consequences of the previous event are the absolute factors that determine the character's behavior and the direction of the next event. At least it's hard for me to find traces of deliberately rationalized kitsch in the plot. Not to mention that overall, the story is really tight, complete and a real pleasure to read for me personally. In addition, I think the most important thing, and the most easily ignored, is values. There is no majestic, upright and passionate kingship here, no hooligans, darkness and twists, no kitsch-like sensationalism, and no childish fallacies. To be precise, there should be no instillation of values. It just so happens that this is the most precious thing in my opinion. There is only a strange world here, a group of lively people, and some normal things - bizarre legends. Well, let me tell you a story pragmatically. The above is probably a very abstract perception that does not involve specific plot characters. I really hope that more followers will be lucky enough to see and like this absurd yet logical and incredible story like me. I very much hope to be able to support the author through subscription, but due to physical problems, it seems that the website does not support the recharge of foreign debit cards. This really makes me feel very regretful and extremely ashamed. So I hope that through this review, I can make up for my guilt, and at the same time help more newcomers not to miss this masterpiece and fall in love with the various characters and their lives in this story.
Maybe after reading too many books in Qidian, I felt that the world structure and values of this book were awkward, inconsistent, and incredible. People who have power in any era, even if they are not loved and respected, their power will be awe and feared. I am really speechless about this book.
I have read dozens of chapters and am very curious. How was the world and system of this book established? According to the description in the book, the wizards in the dukedom live like 🐶, and they are basically beaten by everyone. The nobility and the church controlled the power and upper echelons of the entire territory, and they fought with each other. Then here comes the problem. Although the author emphasizes in the book that wizards are not good at "combat" and are more interested in academic research. But according to the book, just a wandering wizard leader named Karan has the power to destroy knights at will. This is an elite knight trained by the church. So what do the nobles and the church rely on to rule the wizards or the people? Modern state power relies on a violent institution-the military. But the knights and the church in the book do not have any special powers. There is neither so-called magic nor fighting spirit. So why are you at the top? According to what is written in the book, the academy that can suppress vampires (with the ability to destroy towns) can completely destroy the dukedom with its own strength!
It's a shame to throw away a useless book if it's tasteless. I simply don't understand. In a world with a medieval background and a world where the church has no extraordinary power, how can a wizard who possesses extraordinary power become worse than a poor person? Don't tell me that wizards are low in power and have limitations. Just prepare the plague and learn about it.
The fantasy genre of wits is not very good at all. Nowadays, all fantasy martial arts are based on force over skill. It feels like the protagonist's brain is full of muscles. It is more elegant to have the kind of protagonist who steals the ashes and annihilates while talking and laughing. And the most important thing is that there are fewer and fewer novels in which the protagonist has an old enemy. They are all the kind of villains who will not appear again after the fight. In fact, the protagonist's old enemy can generally be classified as the second protagonist, but it takes too much effort to write, so almost no one writes it.
The book is very interesting, but the story about the elf marrying the male protagonist's friend is really too poisonous and I almost can't relax.
Reading this kind of extraordinary novel, how can a mortal have the confidence to crowd out or control the extraordinary. When I saw the scene where wandering wizards attack the academy, it was particularly difficult to understand how wizards could be discriminated against and excluded. That paragraph also said that the Duke is just an ordinary person, and Fanes is also an ordinary person. Can't I kill you and run away? What are you crazy about? Just because of the power you have? It's not like monitoring cars and trains in modern society. With backward messaging and weak force, a dozen trash wizards can destroy a town. Wandering wizards shouldn't exist. Using ghouls to kill people, steal money, and then buy a manor might even make you a noble.
