Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.
Recommended by a Veteran Reader, Not for Beginners!
Recommended classics. I started reading novels at fifteen, and I'm forty-two this year, so that's nearly twenty-four years! From the Four Great Classical Novels to Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an, from bookstores to web fiction... Reading is not just a pleasure; it also takes thought. Online novels are becoming increasingly childish and vulgar, and there are fewer and fewer classics... There are more and more garbage System stories!

A little impression of the end of the avenue
Looking back on this story that I have followed for almost three years, I still like it very much. The Great Way to the Sky is actually a very romantic story. Eternal life, gods, an upside-down ocean, an array of spaceships, ignited stars, a shattered moon, the fall of civilization... These are all grand and poetic imaginations. I like the cosmic drifting in the last few chapters, I always feel like there is a magnificent symphony playing in my ears. Jing Jiu is also a very romantic character. Isn't it the ultimate romance to be invincible in the world and have a peerless appearance? Moreover, Jing Jiu liked the spring rain, the first snow, the fragrance of tea, the colorful crabapple trees with fallen flowers and the smiling girls under the trees... Let's look at his romantic handiwork: leaving an immortal peach blossom on the pillow, tying a knot on the salvation skynet, going to see the sun she wanted to see, and blooming a tree full of flowers where she lived... A completely natural romance. Jing Jiu is still a boy forever. If heaven is sentimental, heaven will also grow old. Jing Jiu is a heartless man, so he does not age. I wrote a short review for Jing Jiu shortly after the opening of Dao Dao. The title was "Nine Deaths Still Not Old", which is still appropriate now that I think about it. Jing Jiu has lived for thousands of years and has gone through several lives and deaths. He still looks like a young boy, and deep down in his heart he still retains the purity, curiosity and enthusiasm of a boy. The old cat said that the meaning of life is to pursue the meaning itself. Jing Jiu is the young man in pursuit, and he will live forever as a young man. Jing Jiu is said to be heartless, but he is also very affectionate. His persistence towards the deceased was childlike. He didn't forgive Liu Ci because he chose to leave; he couldn't see the morning light because it was March. He never said it, but he was reluctant to let go of those people. He stored them deeply in the depths of his consciousness and never forgot them. They were there and would never leave. This is also the old cat's beautiful obsession and self-comfort. It's so heroic to say that you don't need to see each other off when you walk alone on the road, but deep in his heart there is such warmth in the Taoyuan of the people he loves. I like the character Jing Jiu. He is the only divine character among the protagonists in Mao Ni's novels. I used to think that the direction of the story would make the divine Jing Jiu contaminated by dust, like Sangsang, from god to human. However, Jing Jiu did not. From beginning to end, he retained his divinity and casualness that was not stained by the mortal world. He has feelings, but he doesn't indulge in them, and he doesn't change himself for the sake of feelings. His feelings for his juniors are an appreciation of beauty as God loves the world. Cause and effect are entangled, he can sacrifice his life to save the world, but he can also sacrifice his life to refuse salvation. We don't have to understand many of his choices, we just need to look up to them. We are both in the twelfth lunar month and ten years old, so we are lucky to be with him. Walking alone on the road is the loneliness of an extreme master. We mortals still have to hug each other for warmth, but we might as well yearn for and appreciate the ultimate person. Finally, when I was holding an event in the book review area, I asked what plot I wanted to see later. This is what I wrote at that time. Unexpectedly, I saw everything I wanted: Xu Le, who was both a god and a trance, Wu Zhu, who still left traces after countless years, Tai Ping, who smiled deep in his consciousness... And Jing Jiu, who finally smelled the fragrance of tea and tasted hot pot, and the answer to eternal life, which was not the answer. So, after three years of updating, it is complete and tears come to my eyes.
The avenue faces the sky Thoughts from Chapter 4 of Volume 7 Congratulations to Sword Law.
A young man walked out of Lelang County He was held by his master He was innocent and embarrassed He did not dare to see the scenery between the peaks So he became a senior brother His favorite thing was to play mahjong with his master, uncle and junior brother But he He is the person with the worst skills at the poker table He always said that winning or losing is not important, it is more important to be happy in the process He is an honest person He memorized all the rules He became Qingshan Kenryu He personally imprisoned his most respected master in the sword prison. Because he is Qingshan Sword Law He alone guards Shangde Peak and guards the Sword Prison Guarding the Qingshan He bid farewell to his junior brother He was about to die too He used the secret method of the Qingshan to forcibly extend his life, because the young uncle he admired most needed him to guard He slept for 100 years Then he woke up You said you have never made a Nine Lotus Lantern in your life It is a coincidence Qiaoqiao's mother It's such a coincidence The next one you made into the Nine Lotus Lantern You said with a half-smile, "You have been fooling me" Who told you to be honest "That's right, but these few hundred years are still happy" You looked at the neat mahjong tiles, laughed three times, stood up and walked out of the palace door, turning into snowflakes in the morning breeze Hard work. "Greetings to Sword Rules"
The author is too narcissistic, showing his superiority as a thinker everywhere, and the traces of indoctrination are too obvious. As a fairy tale novel, it is not suitable for too many pretentious reasonings, and there is no and impossible necessary logic. In the end, the whole novel turned into a soliloquy... I skipped through it and thought... I threw up.
From "The Escaped One", write down some of your own thoughts and guesses
"Book of Changes" says: "There are fifty great avenues, forty-nine divine origins, and humans can escape one of them." This means that there are fifty laws of operation and development of things between heaven and earth, and only forty-nine can be derived. One of the escaped ones is heaven's secret. The one that escapes from the previous chapter is the first time in this book that a positive description is given of Taiping Zhenren, Jingjiu's senior brother. There is no doubt that this book is also a novel about fighting against the sky. Jingjiu and his senior brother Taiping Zhenren have also been looking for the secret of heaven, or the way of heaven, but they each chose a different path. When Lei Poyun went crazy and was imprisoned in the sword prison at the bottom of the well, he kept shouting, "There is no one, what about two?" In the chapter "Accident at the Auction", Mao Da once had such a description, "Lei Poyun just stagnated in his realm and wanted to regain strength with that sword. And "I was persuaded by that person", that person is naturally Taiping Zhenren, so I guess that sword is the Yilai sword, which is the sword carried in the scabbard named "Chengtian". In Chapter 23 "Chengtian is not a sword", the head of Qingshan once complained that he, the head of Qingshan, did not even have a sword. Many years ago, the Qingshan Sect issued an 800-mile ban, which was nominally a retreat for Taiping, but the reality was that he was imprisoned in the Sword Prison for some reasons, but he was as powerful as Taiping, so he naturally escaped. Chapter 62, "The Story of Master Taiping" has this description, "Besides the well, there is no other exit from the Sword Prison, so how did Lei Poyun escape? How did he escape?" This description is the evidence that I concluded that Master Taiping was once imprisoned in the Sword Prison. Lei Poyun made a deal with Master Taiping and gave a piece of Thunder Soul Wood to Master Taiping. With the help of this Thunder Soul Wood, Master Taiping escaped from the Sword Prison and transformed into Yin San (because Thunder Soul Wood can turn soul). Later, Lei Poyun was encouraged by Taiping Zhenren and wanted to use Yi Lai Sword to break through the realm, so he deliberately attacked the leader, and was naturally imprisoned in the sword prison. However, in prison, he found that there was no Yi Lai Sword he wanted. Later, he was released from prison by some forces, and was later killed by Yuan Qi Whale. Jing Jiu once said to Baimao: Lei Poyun, that kid is afraid of nothing. I don't know, but it turned out because he died." Presumably, it refers to the incident of Lei Poyun being deceived by Taiping Zhenren. So if this one refers to the first sword, then what does the second refer to? Naturally, it refers to the Fuji sword, which is the sword that Jingyang took away when he ascended. After Jingyang failed to ascend and transformed into Jing Jiu, the bracelet was The Fuji sword is now in the hands of the little fox, waiting to be given to him at the age of ten. What is Taiping's purpose in deceiving Lei Poyun? Is he trying to verify his conclusion, or is it for some other reason? Then there is another question here, where did Jing Jiu come from? Whose hand is it? I guess that Jing Jiu used the Thunder Soul Wood to transform his soul and used the Yi Lai Sword to create his body. Therefore, Jing Jiu's body is special and is the so-called innate sword body. Therefore, it has been hinted many times before that Jing Jiu wants to know what will happen when he takes the flying sword back into his body. This is a situation that has never happened in the entire world.
A brief discussion on "Neuro Trilogy" - Inheritance and Thoughts
When writing The Guest, Lao Mao had already said that the book he wanted to write was a series, a neurological trilogy, trance and wandering. From Qing Yunian's machinations disguised as time travel, to Jiake's martial arts sentiments disguised as machine warfare science fiction, to today's science fiction philosophy disguised as fairy tales. The Neuro Trilogy is indeed worthy of its name. The appearance and essence are very different, but they can all reveal more profound meanings. Qing Yunian wrote about the darkness and cruelty of palace intrigues, the never-ending oppression in feudal society, and the inevitable conflict between modern civilized thoughts and feudal civilized thoughts. Fan Xian is just an ordinary person. Even though he has a powerful family and possesses superb martial arts, he still cannot escape the control of power and the inevitable struggle in his destiny. He is a layman who only seeks happiness and pursues human desires. In order to protect the people around him, he grows up to become a powerful advisor in the dynasty. From just seeking self-protection, he becomes a murderer. From the pursuit of happiness and wealth, he holds the power of killing and eventually even disobeys and kills the emperor. He didn't want to fight, but the world pushed him to fight. Fan Shen wanted him to live a rich life, but forced him to fight for the inner treasury. Chen Pingping wanted him to have a safe life, but forced him to fight with the procuratorate. If he wants to know the truth about his mother, he has to fight for more power and gain more power from the court. But in the end, even though he had great power, he could not fight for justice for his mother, because the emperor was just. He wanted world peace, but the emperor wanted to rule the world. In order to fight for this peace and justice, he chose regicide. And the chapters of this book should be the ecstasy in the trilogy. My understanding of this word is that a mortal person performs the deeds of a saint and changes the world. Fan Xian went from an ordinary person who just wanted to live a good life to a regicide and a saint with the world in mind. He went from joining the world to changing the world, then retired to the hermit life he pursued, living in a temple and worrying about the people, to retiring to live the life of a god. He did everything he wanted to do. Make this world a better place. The second book is Jianke, which writes about technology, society, political darkness, and the conflict of civilizations. Xu Le used his mortal body to fight against the entire world, like a stone in Donglin, silent and stubborn. He used his hardness to break political deals, break the unfairness in the federal hierarchy, and break the hostile status quo between the two worlds. There is no problem in calling this kind of achievement a miracle. The meaning of being lost in this book should be that Xu Le and the old thing fight together to change the whole world. After many twists and turns, he became enlightened. Xu Le has traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains, but his soul is still as pure and outstanding as the little white flower. And this science fiction martial arts novel is about this kind of ultimate personal heroism, turning decay into a miraculous person, a god-man. The foreshadowings such as the temple behind Qing Yu Nian describe the cycle of civilization, and the continuous cyclical development of times and values; the inheritance of civilization behind Jian Ke writes about values, reflections on the world and different eras. And Dao Chaotian is more like a philosophical novel. When the great road and eternal life you believe in become illusory, will you also become a madman, willing to degenerate and never see the light of day in your life? The first half of the novel is about pure immortality, but what I want to express is not just in one person, but in every flesh-and-blood character. Liu Ci sacrificed his life to save Taiping's respect for teachers, Taiping took on the eternal infamy and destroyed the world to save the human race, Lian Yueyu exterminated demons and defended the way and walked the world with justice... Everyone gave up the path of immortality for their own ideas. Their ideas and actions are their meaning. When writing about today's interstellar civilization, it is conceivable that it will develop into a reflection on its own existence, its own meaning and the ultimate thinking about the future. Is immortality no longer a goal that can be pursued? Not necessarily, I think Jing Jiu should become immortal at the end of the novel. Just like the different people who fell on the Chaotian Continent, the end of spiritual practice is to have faith that lasts forever. Jing Jiu, a selfish person who was afraid of death, became willing to gamble and make sacrifices for justice. He will continue to pass on the justice of March. His body may disappear, his soul may disappear, but his faith will last forever. Being distracted means that he spreads his belief to the whole world. The protagonists in the three books all uphold their own beliefs and constantly strive for them. They have all become beings who maintain the new order and change the world with their own power. Truth is eternal and faith is immortal. Life itself has no meaning. When you can continue to fight for your ideas and even sacrifice your life, for you, this idea is your meaning and can exist forever.
I thought that the book by the boss must be a high-quality book, but it turned out to be a high-quality book. I just don't know why the words are very artificial. It reminds me of the feeling of watching some ancient female videos more than ten years ago. It is deliberate, pretending to be deep, and immersed in a magical narcissism... It's not that this book is not good, it is quite good. The boss is a boss after all. No matter how contrived the writing is, that's his skill, not to mention there are many highlights. I just don't like it. It's not as good as the previous books. I wasted a whole night, so I'll leave a book review as a mark.
Clouds disperse and gather, mistakes are missed, I would like to sit in the starlight for ten thousand years.
Thought you had abandoned me, I responded to this world with stubborn indifference. When I know that I am the one being protected, The ups and downs of red oil and white soup in the secular world, The raging blizzard of polar ice and sea, They are all my desolate heart, I am willing to accept the hottest and most intense training. Clouds disperse, clouds gather, Mistake, miss. Love and hate are both painful, Lililuoluo. Hanging heavy and deep locks, May I sit in the starlight for ten thousand years. Thoughts about the avenue, There is only one request left: Can I wait again, Seriously read the clarity in your eyes?
There is an old cat over there in the mountains and over there in the sea! His updates depend on his mood, and his outbursts depend on his skills. He used his continuous efforts and brains to dig out a bunch of holes! Attracting thousands of book fans but not overwhelming them! Oh! Cute old Mao Ni~Mao Ni~Mao Ni~~(Echo) Oh! Hateful old Mao Ni~Mao Ni~Mao Ni~~ He used his constant efforts and pretended to be beeping all day long, digging a lot of holes! Write the important parts and break them up for the next issue~~~~🔪
An investigation into the causes of Jing Jiu's fatigue
In Volume 5, Chapter 66, after the battle in the West Sea, Jing Jiu did not feel disheartened and wanted to leave Qingshan; but in the new chapter, Jing Jiu felt tired and would probably leave Qingshan. The key to Jing Jiu's transformation was the conversation with Liu Ci. Jing Jiu was not surprised that someone was siding with his senior brother. He was not even surprised that Liu Ci, the person he trusted the most, was siding with his senior brother. But what he didn't figure out was why Liu Ci wanted to help his senior brother. Jing Jiu has been calculating, and so has Taiping. Although they have different ideas, every move they make must have a purpose, and they should not do anything without preparation or purpose. Liu Ci is different, he does not pay too much attention to the purpose of doing things. He can stop climbing the mountain in order to appreciate the vastness of the Songhai Sea, and he can also withstand the natural disaster for the sake of the freedom in his heart. Sometimes he does things neither to save the common people nor to improve himself. When Jing Jiu asked him the reason, his answer was beyond Jing Jiu's expectation. "There is no way this world is worth it" had a huge impact on Jing Jiu's outlook on life. So Jing Jiu got tired - he plotted against his senior brother to enter the Sword Prison, plotted to kill his senior brother; his senior brother plotted against his failure to ascend, plotted to kill him, he was used to plotting and being plotted. But Liu Ci didn't care, so he gave him a trick; Liu Ci could sacrifice his life just because he couldn't help it. He suddenly felt that scheming was very tiring, and he wanted to leave. If you want to escape from Qingshan, is it possible that you also want to escape from the conspiracy? Mortals plot money and power, ascetics plot to ascend to heaven, and those who care about the world plot to save the common people—— But looking at the starlight like water, why not let go of those thoughts and be a child playing in water?
Taiping has done a lot for Chaotian Continent. He was once a saint, but later "upgraded his mind" and became an extremely terrifying existence. He is still himself, but his role in the human world has been overturned. In fact, madness has always been one of Taiping's important attributes. Taiping thinks he loves the world, but Taiping's love is a terror to many, many people. I don't think Taiping loves the world. He can treat people as "faith" and tools. Even the lives of people who loyally follow Taiping are not cherished in Taiping's eyes. Naturally, other people are not loved by Taiping. Taiping loves this world, but what he loves is the world in his own mind, which has nothing to do with all the living beings living in this world. Thousands of living people, Yu Taiping may be a tool to realize their ideals, or they may be obstacles that need to be removed on the road to their ideals. I also admire people who risk their lives to follow Taiping. People who can put life and death at risk are not ordinary people. But like Patriarch Xuanyin who follows Taiping, it is different from Huiyuan. Ancestor Xuanyin wants to live, not risk his life for his ideals. As for ordinary people who are neither able to sacrifice their lives to accompany Taiping in pursuit of his ideals, nor have the strength like Patriarch Xuanyin to be a dog to Taiping, they are at most a burden to Taiping. But Taiping is not the center of the world, and the meaning of other people's existence is not based on the meaning of Taiping. Besides, life is meaningless. Others are willing to live their lives without ideals and goals, and no one can force a mission. Asking others to make sacrifices for their ideals is even more arrogant and presumptuous.
