A Reading Slump Is the Norm

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

My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
A Little Bookshop with Distinctive Taste
A list of books that suit my personal tastes, including some I dropped for various reasons along the way. I've been reading on Qidian for years, first for free and then as a paying reader. I honestly don't think a book's quality can be judged by its performance. Just look at the poorly written filler cluttering the charts. Finding a novel I can actually stick with is pretty hard. I hope this very personal list can be of some help to anyone struggling to find something to read. P.S. I like wuxia

Having read many spy novels on the bestseller list, I personally think this one is the most logically sound so far. Although it features a protagonist with a cheat-like advantage, the protagonist's intelligence, self-reflection, and growth are all very timely and satisfying.
The nation is at a critical juncture, and even doctors like Dr. Mu are thinking about saving the country. How can you, the author, remain indifferent and only update twice a day? Yes, we readers can wait, but can the Chinese people who are about to be murdered by Japanese spies wait?
The book is good, but there are too few chapters. Author, please update with more chapters!
This is a rare book that kept me up all night. If I had to describe its brilliance in two words, "clean" would be the only one. The entire book flows smoothly from beginning to end, except for a slightly off-putting point in the second chapter about the Bodhi tree. There wasn't a single dull moment. Highly recommended!

Fujiwara's return
Osaka, Japan, at the docks. Takeshi Ishikawa had just finished a long day's work, exhausted. He looked up; the Osaka sunset was still beautiful, but the empire was crumbling. He looked at his hands, hands once used for writing poetry and wielding swords, now calloused from hard labor.

[Discussion] Who should play Ning Zhiheng?
If a film or television adaptation of the Republican era could reach the level of "The Disguiser," I believe most book and film fans would be eagerly anticipating it. Just thinking about it is irresistible! Therefore, the actors are crucial! Personally, I support Hu Ge playing Ning Zhiheng, the Shadow, Fujiwara Tomohito, a triple spy, the king of spies.
The sequel, Part 7: The Third Brother Zhiming (Please feature this post)
(Continued from Chapter Six) Cheng Lisha felt both fear and curiosity towards Ning Zhiheng, Ning Zhiming's second elder brother. This high-ranking Kuomintang (KMT) official, known as the "King of Spies," was synonymous with terror and bloodshed within the Red Party's intelligence agencies.
