My Reading Journey 1
Some books I've finished reading
2018 Urban Night Owl’s Story Pavilion
White-collar work is exhausting these days, and the mortgage weighs heavily. A little leisure is precious 😇. As a city dweller returning home late at night, I find solace in that bookshop after dark, in the jungle of concrete and steel. I don't want reading to make me feel stupid 😋. I wouldn't claim that every book on this list is top-tier, but they're all books with some class. 🤘🏼😀 Most important of all, the plot has to be good. No padding, please. (•́ω•̀ ٥) No brainless stories, no formulaic
Reading Drought Relief Station
[Pinned] My reviews are too vague or focus too much on the early parts of a book, and they’re not very well written! If you’d like me to revise a review, leave a comment. I really will replace or edit it if needed, no empty flattery! I’ve been reading web novels for 16 years, and I’m so tired of mindless garbage. Books that are already popular don’t need me to recommend them. I mostly recommend niche stories, and hope they won’t be overlooked! My main interests are historical and urban fiction,

Worth a read, a collection of quality books~ 😏 I like smart, clear-headed characters who act decisively, have wild imaginations, and are passionate without being melodramatic. The logic should hold up, and the story shouldn't take the wrong side.

There's only one truly believable and logical reincarnation-themed business war novel: *The Ordinary Man's Rebirth*.
The author's layout is quite good, somewhat unexpected, and it takes regional characteristics very well into account. Guangdong is a province with a very strong local sentiment; in Guangdong, Yi Jianlian's popularity even surpasses Yao Ming's. The protagonist's decision to have him as the spokesperson for milk tea is a good start for expanding into the Guangdong market.
The later parts felt more readable than the earlier ones. I've subscribed to all of them and am eagerly awaiting future updates.
Congratulations on your excellent work!
"Against the Current" is a novel I've been reading since after my college entrance exam, and it's almost the end of my second semester of freshman year. It's grown from over 100,000 words to nearly 2 million, and I've been subscribing to it all. I've learned a lot from it, and I want to thank "Against the Current" for its companionship. I hope this book will be completed, and I hope the author goes even further.
Can any expert tell me where to start getting rid of the toxicity? I'm about to die from the toxicity after reading chapter 30. In high school, there weren't so many schemes and underhanded plots. It was either a head-on fight or a group of like-minded people gossiping about each other.
This is really good. The latest chapters are great. Keep it up, author! Keep it up!
Hmm... The romance scenes are arguably the biggest flaw.
I'm so fed up with all the backstabbing and infighting at school all day long.
I was put off by the author's description of his cousin; she was just a college graduate with no work experience! Then, after managing the company for the protagonist for less than two months, his salary increased from a little over a thousand to five or six thousand. He didn't do much; he just followed the protagonist's orders. Note the setting in 2003.
Even if a loser is reborn, he's still a loser; even if a good-for-nothing is reborn, he's still a good-for-nothing. The protagonist seems very childish and immature, doing childish and irresponsible things every day. He spends a fortune to promote his cousin to become the Super Girl champion, and then mindlessly copies classic songs from singers across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and…
