A Guide to Slacking Off as a Constable

Reject Mediocrity and Tired Tropes: An Epic Guide for Bookworms!

Personal taste, no formulaic tropes. The more books I read, the harder it is to find anything good. Or are authors nowadays just too lazy to think through their plots? A quick glance is enough to reveal one toxic mess after another. Stories that endlessly repeat the same cycle of showing off and face-slapping are especially unreadable. Here are a few things I’ve grown to dislike. I usually drop a book as soon as I see them: 1. A System with quests, where the quests drive the plot instead of the

Hegel’s Coffin Lid

What makes a book good? In my opinion, one essential requirement is that its worldbuilding be internally consistent. Sadly, many books can’t even manage that. With my narrow perspective, I’ve listed some things I’ve read for your reference. Just so you know, I’ve included some books because I want to say that a certain great thinker must be turning in his grave...

A Peerless Charmer: Let Everyone Have Their Say

Revisiting the past and exploring the present, savoring the music and appreciating the writing. This is a story about a group of people who transmigrate into another world as outsiders.

A Little Library Updated Whenever the Mood Strikes

These are based on my personal taste. I'm a little picky, but I enjoy a wide range of genres. To me, a good book has a soul. Every character, whether a protagonist or a supporting character, should have an independent personality. As the story unfolds, the characters on both sides should shape the plot, not the author. Good books are hard to find, so feel free to recommend and discuss them with me. I hope everyone who stops by finds something they enjoy. May none of you ever run out of books to

Revisiting the Good Old Days

Opening forgotten books again and reliving the old days. I read all sorts of things and am willing to try any genre. Every kind of book can teach you something. Workplace stories can reveal some insider knowledge or useful tricks. Showbiz stories can introduce books you haven't read, songs you haven't heard, celebrities you don't know, or even poetry. As for history and transmigration stories, that's obvious: you can learn how to make steel, soap, tea, and all kinds of things, just in case you e

No Beginner-Friendly Stories. Eclectic Tastes, a Bit Unconventional, Updated Whenever

Books I've read or finished. Some seem great to me, but I just can't get into them. I'm an emotional guy with an engineering background, and I like to read with my brain switched on. I hope authors don't treat readers like fools. I want them to challenge me, keep me guessing, and draw me in. That's what wins me over... Sometimes a book makes me cry; sometimes I read female-oriented fiction... I just remembered my favorite line: Live by facing death. Thanks for following. Knowing there are so man

Miscellaneous Books

All Hidden Gems, Come Take a Look 😄

They're all obscure, basically. After reading too many formulaic stories, isn't it nice to try something with a wildly unconventional premise now and then? 😊 If it seems interesting and it's a niche title, I'll add it. Some may be very new books with only a few chapters, so if you need a satisfying binge, this list isn't for you.

Books I'm Following Now

I browse every day for novels I can get into. The books I keep on my shelf are the ones worth holding onto or following lately. Here are some recommendations to share with everyone.

Read Ten Thousand Books, Go Insane

A great author can get you to try novels in every genre. Let me tell you! Sometimes I recommend an author rather than a specific novel. If I recommend an author, it means I've read all their novels and enjoyed them enough to recommend the author outright. So don't think I'm being careless. You should know, except when it comes to pretty girls, I'm very serious most of the time, okay? Oh, one more thing: I do read your comments, but I don't necessarily read the books you recommend, after all, I'm
