See allA Little of Everything
A personal, retrospective list. My tastes change over time. I like light novels, fan fiction, sports stories, historical fiction about contending for supremacy, multiverse stories, invincible protagonists, behind-the-scenes masterminds, family sagas, and showbiz fiction. I care a lot about writing quality and personal taste. I'm not into mindless wish-fulfillment novels. My tastes are varied, though I lean toward niche books.
A Veteran Reader's Bookshelf
I started reading novels in 1996, so it's been over twenty years now. I think I have a decent eye for books, so I'll recommend anything that catches my fancy. Hope you enjoy them 😊 I generally don't recommend very old or famous books, since that doesn't help veteran readers find something new.
A Veteran Reader's Immortal Herb Picks
Some books get taken down without warning. The ones that survive are the cream of the crop. I'm not a fan of any particular author. I don't remember authors, just stories. I might finish subscribing to a whole book without remembering who wrote it. That's just how unique and willful I am, haha.
Promising New Soccer Stories
My love of football novels began with the great Lin Hai. One day, I read The Champion's Tutor, and I fell completely in love with football stories... Here are a few good football sports novels I'd like to recommend.

Chinese soccer breaks your heart. Chinese fans always find themselves hoping again after each disappointment. We haven’t seen a glimmer of hope in real life yet, so let our dreams come true in books first. May Chinese soccer get back on track soon, and may its fans have reason to cheer happily!

Mingye’s Garden of a Hundred Herbs
The immortal herbs I hold dear, along with some decent provisions. I'm a protagonist enthusiast, so I like protagonists who put their own interests first. Selfless, saintly types aren't my thing. Decisive and ruthless is best, with unwavering willpower. No wishy-washy protagonists who fall to their knees before every woman! I enjoy a wide range of genres, so this list includes fantasy, sci-fi, history, gaming, urban fiction, and anime-inspired stories. If one book by an author leaves a strong im

This book is the most passionate and engaging football novel I've ever read, besides Lin Hai Ting Tao.
I think the author arranged the transfers quite well. Going to Serie A wouldn't be suitable, going to the Bundesliga where Bayern Munich is too dominant is boring, going to Ligue 1 would mean too little influence, and at Real Madrid, would Ronaldo be willing to play a supporting role? Going to Barcelona would feel too invincible, so arranging for him to go to Atletico Madrid is perfect, to directly confront Ronaldo and Messi, creating a three-way balance of power!
Let me state my opinion! This isn't a novel about a Chinese national; the idea of someone changing their nationality to play football abroad is the most ridiculous sports novel I've ever read. There are plenty of talented players abroad; does changing your nationality make you a genius? When I read any sports novel, I want to see someone win honors as a Chinese person!
I found a separate chapter and wanted to rant a bit. The part about Mark leaving Liverpool felt really forced to me. After the World Cup, selling players like Cahill and Iaquinta brought in tens of millions. Selling non-core players like Vucinic and Kuyt wouldn't have been difficult, raising over a hundred million wouldn't have been hard.
I love novels with foreign nationals, preferably with foreigners directly involved. I hate those forced stories where the protagonist leads a national team to the World Cup – it's so awkward and full of wishful thinking.
There's been too much sentimentality. Honestly, what kind of die-hard fan is this? An adult with children who can't even distinguish basic interests has wasted so many years of their life. A good football player needs a good plan. Look at Beckham; Victoria's career planning for him is practically a classic example. If Beckham had foolishly stayed at Manchester United, he would never have the fame and fortune he has today. Aren't football players just in it for the money, or for their dreams?
You guys are talking about changing nationality... Aren't they all the most fake fans among fake fans? FIFA stipulates that any player can only play for one national team throughout their career. In other words, once the protagonist has played this match, he will never be able to play for the Chinese team again, no matter how many times he changes his nationality.
How many people have subscribed to the entire book? If you have, please give me a "1" (likely a typo or similar number). Thank you.
These kinds of articles are the most disgusting. Either write about a pure foreigner, or be a proper Chinese citizen. Why do you have to make a Chinese citizen become a foreign citizen? On the one hand, you help foreigners make money using their Chinese identity, and on the other hand, you don't want to take on the identity of a Chinese citizen at all. Is it popular to write articles about traitors in football now?
This novel is so pure; it really doesn't write about anything except football.
