Always Searching for Good Books, Never Stopping
[A Miscellaneous Reading List] Recommending all kinds of works Once you enter the sea of books, you lose your life to it; though your heart has no regrets, you keep turning the pages. When all the splendor fades and you look back at dusk, only books and poems remain in the world. The world is so big, and meeting is fate.

A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

I'll also recommend new authors and new novels that make a great first impression. My tastes are pretty broad.

My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
The Water-Moon Cave
Online fiction comes in all kinds of forms, from transmigration and Eastern fantasy to cultivation and high-martial-arts stories, as well as adaptations of movies and anime. The labels are so varied and muddled that they're hard to pin down. Over time, many of these works have gradually come to be grouped under one term: fantasy. In this context, it refers to fiction that reinvents Eastern mythology or blends it with other kinds of fantasy. High martial arts is a newer subgenre of fantasy. It f

🌸 A High-Quality Library to Beat Reader's Block 🌸
After wandering around for years, I've ended up a bookworm again. I've been reading for ten years. Along the way, I worked as an online editor and mentored newcomers, and I also tried being an author and writing stories. But after two years of effort, nothing came of it. Running a page with a few hundred followers took a lot of time and energy, and in the end I was back where I started. 🌸 Well, my path hasn't been easy, but my passion for reading hasn't diminished at all.

Sometimes the protagonist's world isn't a happy place. There are no beautiful scenes, no fairytale stories or endings. Sometimes I want to give the author a huge tip just to change the plot. But the story always goes in the direction I dread. I value realism, so this list includes stories that aren't perfect. Stories about real worlds and things that could really happen. If you've read these, come by and double-tap that like button!

My Taste
Just some books I've picked out from a sea of novels. Some are complete, and others are still updating. This is Xiao Shi Chuang's first reading list. I recommend only one book by each author, either because I think it's good or because I'm currently following it. P.S. I used to read quite a few pirated copies, but fortunately I made up for some of that by buying the authors' new books.

Please recommend novels with a golden finger. The list owner has read most of the books here. I apologize to all the authors whose books I've been recommended. Many of them are good, but they don't suit my taste, so I haven't bookmarked or recommended them. I've read most of the books on this list, as you can tell from my fan badges.

In September, let's fight again! After all the ups and downs, it has been another year since Mu Shen was released on the shelves. In September 2017, Mu Shen reached the Hundred Alliance achievement within ten days of its release. In that September, Mu Shen won the first place in the new book monthly ticket sales and the third place in the overall list. In March this year, it was the tenth anniversary of Pig's writing of the book. On the 28th, the Shepherd had his own Golden Alliance, and two days later, the Shepherd had two hundred alliances. In April, with the efforts of all of us, Mu Shen obtained 172,624 monthly tickets, breaking the total monthly ticket record for Yuewen! In May, with a strong momentum, we broke through again. In this September, it's time for us to use the monthly tickets in our hands to achieve our previous wishes. What we couldn't do a year ago, one year later, we have the confidence and ability to change. After three months of not competing on the list, some people may have almost forgotten that there is a book called Shepherd that is number one on the list! Because of the competition for the list, many people knew about Mu Shen and came to Mu Shen. We gathered together. Because of the accumulation of content in the past few months, many book friends chose to read quietly and enjoy the happiness brought by the plot. Of course, there is also the "pain" of broken chapters. But it can be said that Zhu Da has written the Faun into its best form. Many people say that it has been a long time since I saw Zhaizhu break out. Although your writing is so beautiful and you steadily update two chapters every day, each chapter has 3,500 words, this is not a reason for you not to break out. What's more, Duan Tianzun is so "abominable" and simply "intolerable"! This deep love rushed to my face. And this month, the Pig Conference will break out as much as possible. When we compete for the rankings in September, we must use the monthly tickets in our hands to tell others that we are stronger now! We will use our monthly votes to win the honor of being number one in monthly votes for Mu Shen! In September, I vote for the Faun! In September, let's fight again! I'm ready, what about you?
[Yun Tianzun's role compared to Xinlou]
I was very happy to receive everyone's blessings on my birthday two days ago. Thank you. Up to now, the alliance has passed, and the birthday has passed, and I can't find any reason to spend money on Duan Tianzun. Of course, there are a lot of reasons if you look for it. If I have enough ability, I am also willing to use money to encourage the fellow Taoists to change the pig ten times a day. However, I am not a big spender, I am just the lowest end of the alliance's biological chain, a poor dog who just left school, so, haha, please understand. After thinking about it, I can only start with my Yuntianzun. The previous Bixin Tower increased from 100 Bixin Tower to 275 Bixin Towers in one month, which is a quadrupling. But now the progress has stopped and it is difficult to go up. So I set a small goal, 1,000 likes, surpassing Emperor Yankang, and a reward of 100. Set a big goal, reward 500 for 10,000 likes, and you can't decide more depending on the growth of economic conditions and progress. Ahem, 1,000 likes, was it possible to reach it a year ago? Can you reach 10,000 likes before the end? Fellow Taoists, move your diligent little fingers 🥺🥺🥺
I finally understand what the world view of the novel is
I finally understand what the author is talking about about the 36-layer ultimate void, and how awesome it is to be branded: they are all playing in the memory, and as soon as the computer restarts, the universe (game) is destroyed. It has been restarted 16 times now. Imprinted on the 36th floor of the ultimate void, that is to say, the first 35 floors are caches, and the last floor is the hard drive. They want to save the records they play. Once you save it, you will be invincible, and you can read the disk after you die. However, computer hard drives are limited and cannot store too much garbage, so they increase their strength and gain access to the hard drive only when their level is high. Former Universe Powerhouse During the previous 16 restarts. To run (resurrect) those saved bosses, you have to replace the people in the memory, or destroy (kill) them (this is what the author calls smart conversion). Let's talk about the transformation of the intelligence (quality) of life Why can't people from the past universe come out only after killing people or sending people to the previous universe? Because the size of running memory is also limited. 1. Killing people is to clear up memory space 2. Send people back to the past, which is to put them on the hard drive to free up memory space 3. The stronger the person, the more complex their own runes (codes) are, and the more space they need. For example, a minion can only fight without thinking; and a hero with 4 skills, obviously the hero should have more codes. So, if you want to load a new hero into the running world. It needs to be removed from the memory, such as the code storage of 1000 minions. This isblood sacrifice. Another method is that if this new hero kills a hero in the current universe with a code volume similar to his own, then there is no need to kill so many "ordinary people". For example: kill Haotianzun and Taichu, throw away some useless data, compress it, and squeeze it in. Once you've squeezed in, you can delete more people to give yourself more space. So, why can you clear out the free space and load it in yourself? It is the "Dao", that is, the system, that completes this function and action. "When the system has free running memory, more things are allowed to be loaded from the hard disk into it." The prehistoric strongmen took advantage of this system bug. Once, a former cosmic powerhouse crawled over and loaded half of the code. The second half of the code was still in the hard drive, and his strength was greatly reduced. He was killed by the old thief Qin as a virus, but the strong man was too strong, and the old thief also suffered 800 losses. People return to the previous universe, and what happened to Miluo Palace The owner of Miluo Palace is the most awesome person in the first universe. In order to prevent the computer from being destroyed when it restarts, I want to take people to the next universe after destruction. So "Noah's Ark" and "Miluo Palace" were invented "Noah's Ark" and "Miluo Palace" were a bug. They are all made of difficult substances. Non-changing substances are immutable substances, which are resources that cannot be recycled by the system and data that cannot be destroyed from the memory. There are two ways to achieve "not easy matter". One is: "It's not easy" to run; The other is: "It's not easy" to start the system. "Noah's Ark" means "runtime is not easy": It means that when the system (what they call the avenue) wants to destroy the ship, the ship will copy itself. Although the original one has been destroyed, as long as the data is not lost (what the author means: there is no concept of time, the matter/code is the same, you are still you), then the copied "Noah's Ark" and the people inside are theoretically still on the original ship. (Actually, this ship may have multiple clones at the same time, monitoring each other's existence status, and executing a copy if one is destroyed.) Did you think of anything? Yes, this ship is a virus. "Miluo Palace" means "difficult to start": It is that the owner of Miluo Palace is very talented and discovered a system (dao) bug. He used this bug to open up a "memory swap area" in the hard disk. A small portion of the hard drive can be used as memory. This memory swap area is the so-called "Miluo Palace" What's even more awesome is that the owner of Miluo Palace has set this "memory swap area" as a "system startup item". In other words, every time the system (universe) ) when restarting, Miluo Palace will start up immediately, that is (resurrection). From the perspective of the people in the program, because there is no time perception (they do not sense when the computer is shut down), they feel that it is a "seamless transition" when the computer restarts. To the next universe" That is to say, they will not feel like they "died for a while" and then "came back to life"; rather, they feel like they are "always alive" and have survived the destruction of the universe (system recycling/power outage) Let's talk about Mi Death of the Master of the Luo Palace The Master of the Miluo Palace Experienced 16 universes (computer restart); Forged 16 Taoist Fruits (game achievement 16 weeks) His dream is to prevent the destruction of the universe and implement love and Real evil... Well, cough. Take his little brothers to the next universe and keep living. But as more and more people go through the tribulation, the operating space of the next universe becomes smaller and smaller. > Furthermore, the owner of Miluo Palace, with his extensive and profound knowledge, all the Taoist and magical powers of the 16 universes, and his unparalleled domineering understanding in the 16th century, discovered a world-shaking, weeping ghosts and gods. The truth caused the owner of Miluo Palace to fall into despair, and finally died of frustration - Damn, the memory only has 16 GB of his, and what's even more detestable is that the hard drive is 256 GB, and the system (Dao Dao) only occupies 100 GB of it. Since we can't save all sentient beings, we should leave with this secret forever. The owner of Miluo Palace thought so and passed away. After an unknown period of time, Qin Mu came to Miluo Palace: Brother Tao, give me a tear...

The Legend of the Shepherd is the most fascinating and beautiful novel I have ever read. I myself have never paid to read novels. They are all downloaded from the Internet. But I lost the money. It's so good. I feel sorry for the author even if I don't recharge. It can be said that this is a genre that I have never seen. It can also be said that it is the type that has been seen before. Xianxia, have you read fantasy novels for so many years? No one can surpass him, and every main character in the novel can be used to write a separate autobiography. This novel left the deepest impression on me. He is not in a position to describe a protagonist. Instead, it takes us into a novel from the perspective of the protagonist. The author describes a grand story. There is no invincibility all the way. It doesn't have that pulp novel feel to it. It's like giving us another script for a TV show. Everything is so natural, this is the charm of this book!
An overview of the Zhaizhu universe
By now, after reading the book, I have basically understood the combat capabilities and settings of the main protagonists in Zhai Zhu. You can think of all the chaotic seas of various universes and worlds as otaku's computers, and different universes as different games. Some are stand-alone games (Mushen, in the end only Fungus was connected to the Internet), some are online web games, Emperor Zun's Way of Humanity and the like are all online games, and there are visits from outside gamers. Then there are the annihilation tribulations and the great coldness of the universe. Ordinary annihilation tribulations can be understood as uninstalling games or software. Some software is more honest. If you just clean it up, nothing will be left. It will leave an empty registry directory. Some software is more rogue, such as a certain 36 Pro, and everyone who has used it says it is good. In the novel, these things that have not been cleared after uninstallation can be called innate immortal auras, Yuanshi spiritual treasures, etc. The final catastrophe of annihilation is called formatting, which cleans the entire disk and leaves nothing behind. The Great Lengji can be understood as the game has no money to operate and the server is shut down. The previous catastrophe is that the server is still there, but the game is gone. This one is that the game is there, but the server is gone. Then there is the character's realm combat power. Realms can be marked as permissions. Yuanshi is the first-level permission (the end of the road), but the first-level permission is also divided into administrator permissions and user permissions. Then there is Daoxing, benchmarking against the programming languages or programming software you know, such as c, c++, Java, Python, r language, etc. Ye Xu's four certificates indicate that Yuanshi knows four kinds, Su Yun is the city that exists, and Fungus and Jiangnan are the cities that currently exist and do not exist. Cultivation and combat power are measured against your level of coding. For example, a certain cloud knows a lot of software, but it takes a long time to type out a hello world. It's different for a big bull. Maybe he doesn't know much software programming code, but he is determined and makes a modifier out of the blue. No matter what large or small game you have, I will modify it hard without compatibility. Finally, there is the gap between the characters. Jiangnan has administrator rights. He can code any programming software and type out the most perfect game. Fungus has administrator rights and can do everything, but he is lazy and likes to gnaw his way into the Tao. The final way to save the Mu Shen Universe is that Jiangnan teaches him how to compile an Alipay to renew the server. Only Fungus can learn it, and others, even Jiangnan's teacher, can't teach it. The big bull was too promiscuous and was caught by the game's built-in security system. Neither party could do anything about the other. In the end, they introduced different software (Emperor Cloud) to crash the anti-virus software. In the end, they should also have first-level user rights. Su Yun may have second-level authority, but he can understand existing software and software coding. Ye Xu was more lazy. After all, it was an early book, so he was relatively good at coding. His level of coding was probably that of World of Warcraft, StarCraft, etc. It was also very powerful, but the permissions definitely did not have administrator permissions. In general, it is Jiangnan programming, written with visible coding and invisible coding. Su Yun can understand all the visible coding, Zhong Yue and Ye Xu can understand part of the visible coding, and Fungus can understand not only the visible coding, but also the invisible coding. The last one is Zhai Zhu, can he code? He doesn't know how to do anything except pull the network cable and unplug the power supply.
{"TopicId":"803665280248184832","TopicName":"Internet Hole Filling Festival Wishing Season"} In the wishing season, I will dig a hole! Yun Tianzun is the most difficult character for me to watch in "Mushen Ji". I hope Zhai Zhu will write a side story about Yun Tianzun. I want to see the story of Yun Tianzun's battle of wits and courage with Tianting~
Anyone who hasn't watched the Mugenji anime yet will make me sad.
Today, I accidentally stumbled across the Animation of the Goddess of God on my little website! I watched eleven episodes in one go. Xuanji really put a lot of effort into this one, and it's not enough to watch. Go watch it now!
Finished reading, check in
I came late and read this book after it was finished. Unknowingly, I had developed deep feelings for a person in the book. I would be worried and afraid of anyone's departure. I can't forget that the cripple who was the timidest in Canlao Village was the fastest one who ran to save Qin Mu. I can't forget that the honest and honest smile passed down from my ancestors has fooled too many people, and I still vaguely remember the Yongjiang Cowherd. . Sweat towel. . I don't know how the Seventh Young Master, Mu Tianzun, who was so powerful, would feel in retrospect. . I often think about whether Qin Mu will live with the village chief and others after he comes back. At that time, will the village chief talk to others about "Do you know the story about Mu Tianzun being chased and beaten by Ji Bolong?" How will the world develop? Will anyone remember this hero in the future? But I remember. I often sigh. There are two kinds of sighs. One is that Zhaizi has written a lot, but I have no money to read it. . Emma can't afford it anymore, and it's useless (I can't help it, a poor college student...). Secondly, I lament that the home pig writes too little. I wrote the last dozen pages very quickly, why not write slower? I don't want to write a book review yet, and there are still a lot of holes to fill. Qin Mu, bah, scumbag, are you worthy of your wife? Do you know how much your mother-in-law and grandpa miss you? Can't the pig write more and let me know how happy everyone will be in the future? I'm so angry, ah, I can't help it, I want to send bricks. Finally, I want to say that although I want to kill the pig, I am also very satisfied with the ending. Although I am reluctant to give up, it will definitely end no matter how I write it. Zhai Zhu, Mu Shen Ji, I have remembered it, and I will come back often to read it.
Preface to Yankang All the emperors are deceased, and the new site of Yankang is surrounded by the Yangtze River and the sky, knocking at the ruins and guarding the Central Plains. The treasures of nature, the beauty of all directions, the outstanding people, and the heroes of the four seas. If you are lucky enough to travel, you can see the grand occasion. It was Yankang, under the jurisdiction of Kaihuang. Looking at this scene from a distance, the purple smoke condenses and the green mountains are far away. The scorching summer is over and the autumn atmosphere is strong. I have traveled hundreds of miles to get there, just like a blank piece of paper waiting for an article. To the left and right, the veil is gradually exposed, just like Xizi's shy fish sinking, and Zhaojun's frightened geese falling down. The beauty of this cannot be described in detail. If it is ancient times, it can only be seen with its majestic spirit and vigorous human luck. The smoke and dust are billowing, and the yellow water is swaying. Apes and monkeys hang out on both sides of the bank, and birds and insects chirp in the mountains. The thirty-six palaces stand like a tripod, and the seventy-two palaces are as dense as a forest. There are so many different shapes and forms, but everything in the world is always empty. The falcons and eagles in the sky are worried about how to cross, and the immortals sigh to themselves. At this time, the country has been settled and the world is at peace. The founding emperor collected finely crafted swords and determined the eternal autumn of the Central Plains. When the sword was completed, there were many strange phenomena. Dark clouds cover the mirror, yellow water swallows the rainbow, evil ghosts cry, and the gods choke. The sky is frightened above, and Yama is disturbed below. The wind blows up the cliffs of the sky, and the rain splashes on the corners of the earth. For now we can only dream about it. A view is not a one-sided appreciation. From ancient times to the present, the avenues are divided, and the world is full of beautiful scenery. The same is true for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Times are not comparable to ancient times, and ancient times are also incomparable. Half a moment in Yujing, a new dynasty in the world. It gathers the mysteries of the three rivers and five mountains, and brings together the essence of nine states and eight directions. The red flag dances on the earth, and the wind makes the white clouds fly. Your Excellency draws it in an atlas, and all the princes exhaust their blood and essence. Accept Jingwei's ambition to fill the sea, and keep the god of Xingtian and Wu Qi. In just a few years, great changes have taken place.
