Reject Mediocrity and Tired Tropes: An Epic Guide for Bookworms!
Personal taste, no formulaic tropes. The more books I read, the harder it is to find anything good. Or are authors nowadays just too lazy to think through their plots? A quick glance is enough to reveal one toxic mess after another. Stories that endlessly repeat the same cycle of showing off and face-slapping are especially unreadable. Here are a few things I’ve grown to dislike. I usually drop a book as soon as I see them: 1. A System with quests, where the quests drive the plot instead of the

My bookshelf has some of the books I've been reading lately. I keep up with some, while others I just dip into now and then. I'm not into anime fanfiction and the like, so you generally won't find that sort of thing on my lists. If you do, it's definitely top-notch. P.S. 1. To everyone recommending new authors' early works, I'll do my best to check them out. Thanks! 2. If you're recommending a book, please make sure the author has staying power first. Thanks! These days, people keep starting new

Recommended by a 10-Year Veteran Reader
These are books I’ve read and personally think are good. If you enjoy them, give me a follow. I’ll keep adding more whenever I find something worthwhile. I’ve been reading for over ten years, and right now I’m following laid-back farming stories. If you know any good ones, feel free to recommend a list. I’m in a bit of a reading slump, so I’ve been searching all over Qidian.

Can you publish your new book under your old one? Ah! Ah, the same thing happened last time.
I still prefer the book "The Little Rich Farmer in the Mountain Valley"; the writing rhythm is more comfortable to read.
Wow! Finally, a new book! Wishing you great success with your new book, Lao Quan! Please stop with those overpowered cheat codes! We're still living on Earth; constantly killing people is too much of a nuisance! Let's just focus on peaceful farming, maybe with some lighthearted commentary on national affairs, but the main theme should be patriotism!
Seriously, I'm speechless. The beginning was so toxic! They only wanted to sell one gem, but they insisted on auctioning off the entire golden armor, and then wouldn't even sell it. Were they afraid someone wouldn't be able to take them down? They even said selling it separately would be more profitable. What rubbish! Who told you that selling it separately would be more expensive than a complete set of historical artifacts? What the hell?!
😐I wanted to drop it after the first chapter... So hypocritical... The male protagonist actually thinks his girlfriend was with him for seven years... Yes, those seven years when he had nothing... His girlfriend stayed with him... And then they broke up because he couldn't afford a house... And he blames her for being bad... Damn it! How many seven-year periods does a woman have? Please, if she's a materialistic woman, she'll leave you in a year or two, okay?
In chapters 1 and 3, he has just broken up with his girlfriend and a female best friend comes along; 2. You inherited the sacrificial robes, which still had inscriptions on them, but you removed the gems from them and sold them, even when you didn't need the money urgently. The two points above were so offensive to me that I gave up on the book at this point. Goodbye.
Are the first three chapters enough to make you give up? I really don't understand the author's point of view. A girlfriend who's been with you for seven years, a woman who doesn't even dare to tell you she wants to break up, is incredibly rare. Don't talk about gender equality; the reality is that seven years is a long time for a woman.
I feel this wasn't written by Shi Tou; it might be a ghostwriter. This doesn't sound like the writing style of an experienced author. This is just a guess; I'd appreciate any opinions.
The book is good, but the author has a problem. When writing about foreign countries, it's fine, but whenever he writes about China, the government is always the villain. Whether it's a high-ranking official or a regular civil servant, most of them are disgusting villains. I don't know if the author has some kind of trauma about Chinese civil servants. People are reading a farming novel, not a story about how local government officials make things difficult for the protagonist.
Let me offer my perspective as a twelve-year veteran bookworm: Every book has its golden three chapters, and this author is supposed to be a literary giant?! But aside from the author's die-hard fans, I doubt many people could stomach the first three chapters. 🙂 A woman! She's been with you for seven years, and you haven't given her any hope!
