Mainly recommending stories with no female lead or just one female lead, based on my personal taste. New and old books alike: the only criterion is that they're good. Supernatural horror, laid-back slice of life, mind-bending mysteries, comedy: I'll read anything.

Reviving the Glory of Gaming, Keeping Our Youth Alive, Staying Together Forever
Those moments we once lost... gathering them up, little by little. The glory days of gaming are long gone, but I still remember the classics I read back then. They may have faded, but I can't bear to forget them. Old books and new books, old wine and fresh brews, each has its own flavor. I'll start with the older books, then sort out some newer ones. Later, I'll gradually add promising new titles, too. 【If you're interested in other genres, check out my main list: Seedling Maniac. Fantasy lis

GAME START
Qidian's gaming category is a melting pot of every imaginable element, and plenty you wouldn't expect! 💬 From realistic keyboard games to futuristic virtual reality games, the variety keeps expanding: wuxia, sword and sorcery, space battles, post-apocalyptic strategy, and even transmigration to another world. There's a setting for everyone. The characters authors create often reflect our everyday lives, making it feel as if we're exploring these strange and dazzling worlds alongside the protago
Video Game Worlds
All of these are books from my own library. D&D-style System progression stories, mostly set in game worlds. A few decent virtual-reality game stories. At least 500,000 words.

After reading most of the second volume (when I saw the sermon, I cleverly closed the chapter and said 233), there was a place that reminded me of something. I remember that when I was reading a time-travel novel in which the protagonist did not know the plot, many readers criticized the setting of "the protagonist does not know the plot", but I liked this very much, because many protagonists relied on their own memories of the plot and did not take a serious look at the world. When they saw a plot character, they just You have preset all the strengths and characters of others, and always preconceptions that the world must completely match your memory. Although you can't prove that the world is exactly the same as your impression, you still believe in your preconceptions (but it's usually not wrong →_→). But a protagonist who doesn't know the plot can satisfy my desire for time travel and give me the feeling of seeing a new world and going on adventures. Of course, everyone's enjoyment is different, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. The former also has well-written works, which are equally exciting. In my opinion, the protagonist has the same problem. Of course, it doesn't make sense to insist that the memory and the world must be different, but he also accepted the setting of the same world without much thought. He was still a little anxious when he was convinced that the knowledge he gained from the game could be completely compared to this world. After all, some authors (a few) would take advantage of this to play with him →_→. I like the setting of a scholar, but the protagonist does not seem to be acquiring new knowledge, nor does he have the enthusiasm to pursue knowledge. He is just using known knowledge. Although this is the cool part (omniscience), and how much "new knowledge" is left in the world for him is also a question, not to mention that the protagonist did not become a scholar in the first place because he really loved research. But I still feel a bit pity. I feel that the fun of being a scholar has not been fully developed. However, these are all minor and innocuous problems. I don't know where the sharp turn is, so I have some guesses in my heart and am a little nervous.
To be honest, I haven't abandoned the book after 50 chapters. It must be a book shortage. It's really uncomfortable to be tortured. After all, the protagonist is still very important in the novel... To be honest, the first 50 chapters are very difficult to retain people in the current Internet environment. If you want to go from beginning to end, you have to consider the length. I don't know if I can sustain it if it starts high and goes low.
[Maximum font size, uppercase and bold] Reading instructions
As written by TAG, this is a slow-burn/single heroine/western fantasy/game alien world/growth-type protagonist novel. You may encounter the following questions before/during reading. 1. It is slow to get started, and it is not a good read, especially in the second half of the second volume, which is not suitable for reading ten lines at a time. 2. Western fantasy, so except for the protagonist, the world is similar to the Western Middle Ages, with swords, magic and dragons added. Therefore, the names you come across may be very long and difficult to pronounce. 3. A growth-oriented protagonist. This is not a Japanese high school student who doesn't change his face even when a mountain collapses before his eyes, an American tramp, or a time-traveler. Because of his special status, he is not even as good as an ordinary player, so he is reckless, naive, capable of transformation, and capable of growing. He is not immature and will do everything in his power, nor is he ruthless or decisive in killing. (This has been discussed in detail in "Five") 4. How slow is this book? The first two volumes pave the way for a story that turns a U-turn, and the explanation is only given in the first chapter of the third volume. 5. Following the fourth item, most people abandon it at the end of the second volume, which is often called the 'poisonous point'. Believe me, no one loves his child, the protagonist, more than the author, but love is not doting. Fortunately, the necessary twists and turns are all explained in the 37W-word public chapter, and the rest of the journey is smooth sailing. After all, it costs money. 6. Thanks to the many friends who recommended the book. It is recommended to read the public chapters and then make plans after turning the U-turn. After all, many people say that section is 'depressing'. 7. The author's writing style is immature and his thoughts are naive, but he has a glass heart, so some posts in the comment area will be deleted even if they should be deleted. Please don't spit anywhere. 8. The stalks are just easter eggs, which are additional fun. If you don't understand them, they won't affect your reading. 9. I debated for five minutes whether to add the words "no spoilers". After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Not many people would watch it anyway. If you want an authentic reading experience, don't go to the comment area. (Thank you to the enthusiastic friends who were worried about the results of this book and then typed a long paragraph to explain the plot. Thank you very much) 10. It will be a good ending. (To be continued) No matter how many items are added, it will always be the last one: Don't tell me if you give up, I will thank you for coming. Thanks.
Let me talk about the conclusion first. As an old-era pseudo-system time travel novel created in 17+ years to pay tribute to the early Western fantasy masters of Qidian, it is 3.6/5. If you consider it word by word, it is a good article (the scoring system will be explained separately). If this article were placed in early 2013 and the word count was expanded to 3.5 Million+ words, there would still be room for a score of 4 to 4.2. I personally agree with the author's overall tone but have some criticisms about the article's top-heavy narrative structure and systematic theme selection. There is still more to do in 2012. The fast food culture in 2014 has already become popular. Writing niche books in the future will require novel ideas. The core contradiction (the two fates of humans and gods) can be repeated, the force system can also have the same origin, and even the characters' personality growth methods can be similar. The climb of the force system is the most direct way to reflect the character's positioning in most novels. The initial pleasure was to slap the weak in the face with the strong and ignore the bottom line of secular human ethics and morality. Later, it gradually put on the defensive cloak of the enemy who attacks me first, and I will attack the enemy first, fighting monsters with peace of mind and upgrading. I waited for the key characters around me to be killed in the plot and earned a lot of tears, then "actively" grew up, and changed the scene to pursue the strength to protect my family. The consequences of such so-called "foolish" templates being constantly applied are self-evident. Of course, what's more important is a change in the way of thinking. Our splash of ink is no longer to outline the dream paradise. Instead, we have lost our original intention in the process of constantly piecing together exciting points and plot points to cater to the audience. I don't think the author has lost himself. Except for the first volume, he has given up on catering to the cool points. Although there is overlap in levels and settings, it is innocuous. The details of some professional systems (such as the difference between the use of the two staffs at different times, etc.) Are logically smooth, and even though there are many flaws in the behavioral structure, it is still a different kind of romance. Different from the traditional mage's pursuit of power and forbidden knowledge (i. E., The sublimation of the power system), the protagonist of this article experienced the painful experience after the first appearance of the Wisdom Pearl and the shattered world view. He even acted cautiously at one time and then regrouped with the company of his friends in the later stage. The passage is quite classic. It's just that times have changed. It's not you who's wrong, it's the whole world. When art and industrial products compete on the same stage, those who fall behind will be beaten. Many people, including me, will insist on the concept of 50 golden chapters. Needless to say, there are reasons behind it. Sometimes when I see 50 chapters of a system article and I don't feel good about it, I pass it. It's just like the eight-part essay. If you can't solve the questions well, it's hard to catch your attention. Especially putting the resignation chapter before the VIP chapter is a very satisfying move. If you don't read the follow-up, there will be no follow-up. People will just think that you have no foreshadowing and a sudden plot kill will make you feel inexplicably withdrawn, or you will run away after the system article was originally planned to be pursued. The bottom line is that there is less text. You can add more daily life in the early stage to foreshadow the tears. Taking 3 million words as an example, there are 7 to 8 main lines, and each main line is interspersed with 2 to 3 foreshadowings buried in daily life. If the first chapter is well placed and there is foreshadowing in the previous text, and the abuse part is handled well, you can also earn tears. Combined with the author's early pressure due to the difficulty in signing contracts due to the problem of system flow and following the trend, and the top-heavy narrative structure, the final performance of this article was mediocre and ended hastily. It was a pity that the plot was forcibly compressed and missed many opportunities for content sublimation. We are destined to see you in the new book👋
Come with excitement, chase away
A book is basically composed of main elements such as background setting, characters, plot, etc. The author said at the beginning that he wanted to pay tribute to Amber, but after reading two volumes, I did not have this sense of involvement. The background setting of this book is a mixture of settings from game worlds such as Warcraft and DND. The amber that the author wants to pay tribute to is basically Feiyan's own original creation. In terms of character creation, I have seen some people say that the task is too facial-shaped. In fact, there is nothing wrong with facial expression in artistic creation, but as an author, how to create facial makeup is a science. Even if it is a facial-shaped character, it must be filled out through the plot, so that readers can summarize his characteristics. Instead of using words to write out the characteristics of the characters, writing repeatedly, and writing in a brainwashing manner like this book. I won't talk about the plot. Kohaku clearly clarified the main line of saving Eruin almost as soon as he started. I didn't find the main line of the story until the end of the second volume of this book. Many people feel that Xia Mu's sudden appearance at the end of the toxic second volume not only ruined the protagonist's image, but also destroyed the logic of the plot. Where did this Xia Mu come from? Is it the mastermind behind the scenes or is it schizophrenia? That's not to say you can't write like this. The problem is that you have to lay the groundwork in advance to make it appear natural. In fact, the biggest problem with this book is that reading novels is like playing a game. Readers often get involved in the characters, so it is important to create a sense of involvement. This is why the mentally retarded operations in some books are scolded, because readers do not feel that they are insulting the characters, but insulting themselves who have entered the characters. A vivid and grand background of another world can help readers "hypnotize" themselves into immersing themselves in the story. A well-rounded character makes it easier for readers to bring themselves into it. A clear main line allows readers to enter the world of the story in the shortest time. The author of this book repeatedly interrupts this sense of immersion, just like someone pulled the power out of the game halfway through.
When I saw that sentence, I would like to read this book to remember the Amber Sword. I shed tears immediately. I saw Brando, Roman, Freya, Antitina, Princess Griffin, senior sister, Aloz, the red sky of Butch, and Brando during the decisive battle between the northern and southern nobles. The figures of the backs that are moving forward indomitably show the resignation of the Ampelsel knights as they destroyed the Flame Gate. After Brando lost his power, everything calmed down. Afterwards, there was laughter, tears, pride, and pain. With huge gains, the pain of sacrifice became more obvious. I hope the author can write a legend, which may be great or humble, but as time goes by, ideals will never die. This may be what amber wants to tell us, the power to fight fate, everyone has an amber sword in their heart, and when the flame of resistance is ignited, the sword shines brightly. I offer you a thousand rewards, I hope the author writes better and better (Don't imitate the baboons' procrastination and eunuch practices)
I have read some, but in short, the story is quite good and the writing is too strong. Many places that should be burned cannot be ignited, and places that should be sad cannot be hurt. The sugar is not sweet enough, and the knife does not hurt. In fact, if you want to have a good story, someone must die, and it must be an important character. The death of the character must reflect the growth of the protagonist. And the trial part is not good. If you really want the protagonist to change, you have to give him a failure, a big failure that can knock him from the clouds to the bottom. Many chapters are bloated and not concise enough, and there are still sections that reduce wisdom in some places. If the score is out of 10, I would give this book a maximum of 5.
It is true that he died suddenly due to the poison from the second volume. Are you really going to just lay it out without any foreshadowing? Spiritual growth? Isn't it too high-spirited? 🤔
Life is not a joke! Even if it is a character in a novel, even if the protagonist can be resurrected... Although the protagonist's first death seems blunt and disrespectful of life, it is considered a last resort. (Why commit suicide when you can avoid soul attacks by being comatose?) But the second death can be seen as pure stupidity, serving the plot. Life is very important to human beings, even if the characters in the novel died because of teammates who were crazy... Are they stupid? ! ! That's not how the plot is arranged! ! ! I feel really depressed when I see it! ! ! And this death did not bring "a little bit" of emotional fluctuations (fear, horror, regret, anger) to the protagonist, none at all..., Just focus on the task rewards. Such a protagonist cannot be called a "human", he is an NPC serving the author's plot. (This kind of performance is possible unless the protagonist loved the "heroine" to the point of dying for her...) The author's outline is not organized at all. He stands from God's perspective and ignores the most important emotional thoughts of a human being. All the characteristics, gags, and cuteness exist because of the full-bodied characters. Putting the cart before the horse will lead to the fragmentation of the character's personality, and then the reader will feel various senses of dissonance and discomfort when watching it. There are too many problems with the plot, characters, and dialogue. In summary, the author is not very good at grasping the plot. It's a pity that the plot behind it... I can't stand it I hope the author works hard. A good work depends on ideas and creativity is not enough. Unconstrained ideas also need reality as a basis.
The male protagonist is not a legendary scholar, but a legendary talker
