A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi
For Experienced Readers Only
A discerning reader with over ten years of experience. I choose carefully and only read books with smart characters. Some books have been taken down, so I'm replacing them. Shelf space is limited.
Feel-Good, Smart, and Showbiz Stories
I only recommend books that I have been able to follow through to completion. I have grown tired of simplistic novels, and the era of brainless stories is over. I now focus on intelligent novels with well-planned plots. Most involve transmigrate, reborn protagonists, the military, sports, or entertainment. Recently, though, I have also been reading other genres, so there will be more variety in the future.

My Book List
All books I've read.
These Are My Tastes, Leave If You Don't Like Them!
In my opinion, there are some questionable parts, but nothing serious! Please don't obsess over minor mistakes. If you can't let them go, then don't read novels. If you can't accept that, write a book yourself that you think is flawless and let the readers enjoy it! There are trolls everywhere, but I hope the author won't pay them any mind! Many excellent books have been ruined by trolls! These days, I always feel like there are no books left to read. Alas! So many books are on my shelves, yet

A Veteran Reader's Personal Collection
The plots are mostly logical, the writing is up to par (very important), and everyone from the protagonist to the bit players has their wits about them. No abandoned stories. Most books on this list are ongoing or still early in their run. They may not be by big-name authors, but they're definitely worth a look. Most importantly, I've read every one I recommend!

I read 400 chapters in four days, and I have a few things to say. Personally, I think the plot is okay, and the writing is readable, but there are a few flaws: 1. Why couldn't they have used a parallel universe or a time travel setting? Why did they have to make the biological son become a nephew, and even live a third life? I really can't understand it. 2.
It's straying further and further off-topic...
I was really desperate for something to read, so I forced myself to finish it. In short, it lacks logic. The title is *The King of Power*, but where's the innovation in power engineering? The engine technology is all bought; it'll take years to digest. In terms of power, we're always lagging behind the US and UK.
I've read about a hundred chapters. The beginning was quite good, the exciting moments were well-paced, and the industrial theme was good. But ever since he returned to China, I'm speechless. There are so many opportunities abroad, yet the author doesn't write about how he develops his company. Most of the story is about wrangling with domestic rivals.
If you don't understand politics, don't write! It was an alliance of countries led by the US and the Soviet Union that blockaded us! It wasn't us who wanted to close our country off.
I feel that the protagonist in this book is just despicable. In business, everything is about profit; even close brothers keep clear accounts. The beginning was alright, but later it's just a bunch of people who are perpetually hungry. The protagonist is practically given away for free. In a large country, the characters are either shameless, greedy, or insatiably opportunistic.
I just couldn't stand it anymore. The protagonist, an American, was single-mindedly focused on developing Chinese technology, sending China money and advanced technology in every possible way. Not only that, he even talked to the US president about selling China advanced aircraft, artillery, and radar.
It's always about shocking China, and these people in China are typical supporting characters in a feel-good story of getting slapped in the face. It's always about arguing with certain comrades in China, always about feeling sorry for China. It's making me cringe. I'm starting to wonder if you're just pretending to be someone else to smear China?
Oh, now I finally know why your wife wanted a divorce a while ago!
The reasons are as follows: 1. As a full-time author, your monthly update volume is too low, and sometimes you even miss updates for three days and then slack off for two. This means that you don't get the full attendance bonus every month! For a full-time author without a job, this means a significant loss of income! 2: Qiannian is a notorious author of self-destructive behavior on Qidian.
I never read American books. You, a Chinese person, are acting so pretentious in America. I'd teach you a lesson in no time. It seems like authors never discriminate. Capital and the government never make things difficult for the protagonists. Despite the many problems in China, it's still relatively fair.
