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

Learning from History
Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of becoming a great hero, returning to the past to change the world and make my name immortal. I’m sure lots of people have felt the same way.

Solid Characters and Well-Reasoned Plots

Well-Written Books
Whatever else you might say, loving books can hardly be called a bad habit. Laozi and Zhuangzi said, “Our lives are finite, but knowledge is endless.” Confucius said, “Those who know are not as good as those who love, and those who love are not as good as those who delight in it.” Those words still resonate with me today, so I’ll take them as my reason for loving books.

“Within books are golden houses; within books are beauties like jade.” The world of books is enchanting, drawing us into a dream of poetry and picturesque scenes. Maple leaves carry our longing for those we miss. As the autumn wind sighs and the leaves drift down to your fingertips, do you think of the line, “I stop my carriage to admire the maple grove at dusk; frost-red leaves outshine the flowers of February”?

Many people can't stand this book. In fact, they can't stand an ordinary person who is neither greedy nor ruthless. In their minds, the protagonist is to seize the benefits and treasures in the book to the maximum extent. He kills people and kills Buddhas, and finally stands on the highest peak of the world in the book. Perhaps He Sanchen is the protagonist in their hearts, but unfortunately she is a woman. She also repeatedly uses the apparent protagonist, making everyone feel uncomfortable when they are introduced to the protagonist. In the Book of the Dead, the author describes a kind of incredible and weird martial arts, and says that this kind of martial arts can solidify hatred. Everyone thinks it is strange and wonderful. Why did he write an incredible and weird secret ship in this book, but everyone thinks it is a big failure? I think it's ridiculous to write about ruby and aliens, but I don't think that the book in Ruzi Emperor that stirred up the world is nonsense. One poster is right, these are just props. The Book of the Dead borrowed this secret book to talk about hatred, the Emperor Ruzi borrowed the imperial book to talk about power, and the book borrowed the secret ship to talk about greed. Gu Shenwei lived on hatred and finally got rid of hatred. Emperor Ruzi learned about power and finally controlled it. Hu Guiyang was born lazy and had minimal greed. It sounds simple but is the hardest to achieve. Among the readers who read the book, I am afraid that there is no one who has the hatred of exterminating his family. After reading the book, he can feel the hatred of others. As the protagonist grows up, he only hates that he cannot kill enough people to vent his anger. I am afraid that few have the opportunity to pursue the highest power. Watching the protagonist grow up, they just like the pleasure of wits and bloody wars, thinking that they have understood the truth of power. Only the greed in this book can be found in everyone, even the small things in life. Cheap, no one is a stoic saint when it comes to life planning. We have been taught to fight since we were young. Suddenly, there is a Hu Guiyang who is smart, has opportunities, and means, but refuses to fight. It makes people feel very uncomfortable. Although I know that greed is wrong, you are the protagonist. Those are all yours, and they are not greedy. You will definitely get rid of the arrogance after mutation, because you are the only one. Sometimes I think, this book is really wonderful. The author not only writes about all kinds of greed in the book, but also writes about the greed of readers outside the book. Even outside the book, even if it can never be obtained, even if it is known that it is not true, the greed in the readers' hearts has not diminished at all. Those divine powers should belong to the protagonist. The protagonist is me, I am the protagonist, and I want to rise strongly in the world in the book. In fact, it is the same as the traces of remnants left by the cannon fodder who died under Xunyang City.
The character Hu Guiyang is really interesting. Obviously it is not a time travel, but some readers always mistakenly think that this baby is related to time travel. Although he is so close to us, everyone said that the protagonist of this work has no sense of empathy. He is obviously a bright and energetic young man, but he is considered an unpleasant figure. Why, there must be a reason for the formation of these impressions, try to find out. What are your impressions of Hu Guiyang? Lazy, unmotivated, smart, fast-talking, poor in kung fu, always laughing at inappropriate times? I think Hu Guiyang is an ordinary person who hopes to live freely. "Perhaps you are all the characters in my dream. I have to fall asleep before I can return to reality, where I am the son of a wealthy family. I eat, drink, and have fun all day long, carefree, and read a few idle books during my leisure time. That's why I dream about you people." Do you still remember, Hu Guiyang said this before falling asleep one day? This sentence is considered by some readers to be evidence of a time-travelling character, and I want to say that Hu Guiyang is a low-profile version of the "rich and idle man" in his sentence. Hu Guiyang opens with a young man who lives under the wing of his adoptive father Zhao Ying and still has the opportunity to act like a spoiled child. There are 40 boys and countless girls. This is what Zhao Ying took care of for herself. There are more than a dozen unmarried brothers among the forty people, which means that more than twenty children are already married, and some have children. Raising children, marrying a wife, having children, getting married is all free of money? And because of Zhao Ying, Hu Guiyang was fortunate enough to live a good life. It can be said that his quality of life was much better than that of most civilians of that era. Having a house, some savings, and something to do is not a low-end version of the "rich and idle person". This kind of life allowed Hu Guiyang to retain his distinctive personality and his laziness, so that his meager martial arts skills had not improved for many years, and he was so lazy that he pretended as much as possible without pretending. It also made him think that when he could stay away from trouble, he could just calmly be a theatergoer, get a little fun in the drama, and show off that inappropriate smile from time to time. Are all "rich and idle people" low-profile? There is a possibility of higher-level pursuits. Hu Guiyang just wants to live a free and leisurely life. And it is this difference that makes him actually closer to you and me who are reading books now: at any rate, they are not really at the bottom of society, and they still have a few cents and a few dollars to spend half an hour every day chasing articles. I hope to do something interesting when I am not burdened by my parents, wife and children.
Why is Hu Guiyang a god? Before talking about this issue, I want to first talk about how he is inferior compared to other characters. The first is the arrogant person who committed the crime of arrogance. As a civilization capable of interstellar travel, it has stopped on Earth due to its own technological disadvantages. Because of this, if we still act like a so-called divine ship, this arrogant civilization is destined to not go far. This is also true. The ascension of the Tianji Ship requires mortals to provide power, but the people refuse to have a deeper understanding of mortals. The gods were unmoved and scorned the red jade elixir they created, but they turned a blind eye and still left behind a large amount of golden elixir. In the end, the people suffered the consequences, and the mother ship was destroyed by the crude weapons of the people on earth, paying the price for their arrogance. Then there is Li Zi Province who committed the crime of anger. A Taoist priest who became a monk in the middle of the road, only to win an official position by pretending to be gods and tricks, what Li Zisheng did violated God's words in the New Testament: "There are no ghosts and gods in the world, everything comes from greedy people's hearts." So God punished him, Li Zisheng was slapped several times in public but could not get angry, and then he was repeatedly frustrated in his revenge against God, allowing his career and life to be swallowed up by his anger. Then there is He Wanwan who committed the crime of jealousy. Zhao Ying, the god's adoptive father, once led the Jinyi Guard Nansi to patrol the demons, which offended He Wanwan. After Zhao Ying's death, He Wanwan was jealous of his fame and achievements, and set up a poisonous plot to induce more than 30 of Shen's brothers to kill each other. However, the Skynet was vast and sparse, and within two years of the incident, outside the city of Yunyang, hundreds of miles away from the capital, He Wanwan was beheaded by God himself. For those who disobey God, it will be useless no matter how far they run away. As for the death of their body and head being separated, it is the price they paid for their unnecessary jealousy. Then there is He Sanchen who committed the crime of greed. Those who are greedy take more than they receive in return. During the time he was lucky enough to spend with God, He Sanchen did not show trust but asked God to accept his lies several times. This was an unforgivable transgression. However, God loves everyone and showed tolerance and patience to He Sanchen's transgression. Before and after the Yunyang Incident, God gave her a total of more than a hundred golden elixirs to help her achieve immortal magic. However, He Sanchen gradually forgot God's teachings in the pursuit of becoming stronger. Shen was forced to stay in the capital and bear the pressure from the court for three years. Finally, He Sanchen exhausted God's last bit of favor. Seeing Mrs. Mei of the same age hugging her grandson, but herself dying alone, He Sanchen couldn't help lamenting that "the magic of heaven harms people." Does Tianjishu really know how to harm people? What harmed her was her own boundless greed.

Good stab! Let you show off😃
Is there any author in Qidian who can compare with Bingda? Save the kids, read no books
I read a post about the four best online novels in China rated by a professor from Peking University. In addition to Sister Jiao's Son-in-law, I also saw this one, The Ming Dynasty Monster. Come here because of its reputation, leave your footprints first, you might end up in a trap one day.
Sure enough, I am suitable for reading cool articles,,,,, it's boring dialogues, a pig's foot is tossed around like a chess piece, it's boring.
Correct my mistake, I just took a look at Uncle Sun. I should have taken a look at Uncle Sun by the way.
This book has the flavor of a script, and I picked it up after reading only a few chapters. It looked like an old-timer, but if it didn't have a sense of graphics, I wouldn't be able to read it well. It doesn't have the same style as these online writers. For example, Yun Chu's book looks so good. This book is vaguely better than that one, but the bad thing is that it is vague. You don't have flesh in your folds, and you don't even care about the buns. Tell us, you wish you could make them look like steamed buns. Whether you are happy with the plot or not is secondary. It is an individual's role, which is very different from the Internet literati who are just naming tools.
The male and female protagonists in Bing Da's works rarely have romantic plots in the usual sense, but in the "weird things" and the trials and tribulations, the complex emotions intertwined with each other are always fascinating, incomprehensible, timeless, and have a long aftertaste, which cannot be explained clearly. Gu Shenwei with Shangguan Ru and He Nu, Han Ruzi with Cui Nuan and Meng E, Hu Guiyang with He Sanchen and Gao Qingcao... I can still vaguely remember Gu Shenwei's inner monologue when he was a killer after giving up killing Shangguan Ru and escaping: This time he had to let her go just for the greater good...
