Fantasy
I enjoy xuanhuan, wuxia, xianxia, urban entertainment, and more. If you like the list, please follow and share it. I like novels where the golden finger isn't too powerful, where the protagonist has to work hard to improve, and where martial arts are cleverly developed. In entertainment novels, why just copy everything? Why not come up with creative plots, improve your writing, and show the hard work behind performing, singing, and acting? If the protagonist's skills just magically improve, with

They're Actually All Beautiful
As the saying goes, a thousand readers see a thousand different Hamlets. (It sounds a little weird, but it makes sense.) The same goes for novels. Everyone has their own outlook on life and set of values, so we all respond differently to what we read. There’s no book everyone likes, just as there’s no book nobody likes. So when I recommend novels, I’m not expecting everyone to love them. I’m simply sharing the books I enjoy. I read all sorts of novels, across many genres (except female-oriented

Lazy Cat’s Book List
Historical Turmoil and Power Struggles, Plus Showbiz, Both Chinese and Foreign. Finished Stories Rarely Put the Protagonist Through the Wringer.
History, single-person transmigration, wars for supremacy in troubled times, no System. For Chinese history, I mainly recommend the Warring States, the end of the Qin, the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the end of the Sui, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the late Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. The military is the main focus. The protagonist generally takes charge, and most start from humble beginnings. A few entertainment novels I personally think are well written, mainly a

Personally, I read entertainment novels mainly to see the protagonist hook up with female celebrities (PS: I can't stand fictional stories because I don't feel immersed in them). Otherwise, I'd rather read other types of novels. These days, I like Da Jinmao (Big Golden Hair) as an entertainment novel author; his new novel is all out of the ordinary, but it's still not as intense as Pao Hui's 🤓
There are two mysteries that I really can't understand when writing novels about Chinese entertainment.
Miss Zhou has always had an artistic and elfin air, and Miss Liu has always had an ethereal beauty. It seems like it wouldn't be Huayu Entertainment if they didn't get involved with each other... But I'm completely indifferent to both of them. Why is that?
Can't you see how saintly the protagonist is? He puts in 150,000 yuan to start a business, then drags in classmates he's barely known. These classmates have no money, no power, and no skills, yet he personally lends them 6,000 yuan. Isn't that practically giving them money away? He's so good to these people right from the start.
I hope that in addition to the Azure Emperor, Chinese entertainment novels will also feature a White Emperor.
Qingdi Qingge, a novelist specializing in writing about actors, is quite famous. Many authors mention him, saying that Zhou Bai reminded me of Qingdi, but the updates are too slow.
I can't stand it
Ugh, can't the college entrance exam just be normal? I always feel like only a fool would choose to study acting if they got a perfect score on the exam.
Just wanted to complain, it feels a bit awkward.
After reading over sixty chapters, I feel the author is being too contrived, making the protagonist seem incredibly fake. I don't want a cheat code—that's plagiarism (without a cheat code, you're nothing!). I don't like money—my family isn't short of cash anyway (your dad isn't surnamed Ma).
The author's ideas are good, but the choice of female lead was wrong. If it were Zeng Li, I guarantee the results would be much better. I really can't appreciate Yuan Quan, even though her acting is good!
If you're going to be a celebrity in the entertainment industry, what are you even doing here? You can make money anywhere. Since you're in the entertainment industry, write fewer romance dramas; they're so inappropriate.
I don't have a good impression of Director Jia. The Sixth Generation filmmakers are all like that. Didn't they promise to contribute to the Chinese film industry? They haven't made any real contributions. Only Director Jia got some kind of award, but that's not what China needs, is it? I'm thinking of skipping around and leaving if it doesn't work out.
Let's add a smaller one; a single female lead is too monotonous.
