Latest Novel Recommendations: Irregularly Updated Reading List for Infinity, Reborn, and Transmigration
I'm not very good at reviewing or writing descriptions, so I quietly recommend novels I enjoy. If you like one, give it a thumbs-up 👍. If you don't, give it a thumbs-down 👎, and I'll periodically replace the books that get too many downvotes.

Hong Kong is a capitalist society; capitalists are the ones in control. In over 300 chapters, the protagonist, already a multi-billionaire and a pampered heir, doesn't know how to sit idly by and dare to confront Xiang Huaqiang alone? What gives the Xiang family the right to threaten a multi-billionaire tycoon? For years, they haven't developed their own security forces; after the Southeast Brothers were imprisoned, they didn't do anything about it. Capitalists solve problems in their own way.
Seeing Zhao Yazhi as a supporting actress made me want to stop watching. By my standards, she's really not pretty, just average, like Cherie Chung. You see that type everywhere, they're just famous! Brigitte Lin was truly beautiful during her art-house film period, but she wasn't as attractive when she made movies in Hong Kong. Let's be objective and not let nostalgia cloud our judgment.
Stallion novels
Currently, it's all about womanizing. First there was Guo Youhua, then Zhao Yazhi, both married women. To get women, they've done things that are utterly immoral and unethical. I can't accept that. There may be more to come, please note the limited-time free offers.
Tsk tsk, another poorly written book. The author suggests having actresses like Zhao Yazhi and Brigitte Lin as female leads, and setting the timeline between 1970 and 1973 would be most suitable. Two used shoes in 1978, and Zhao Yazhi even gets two free with a buy-one-get-one-free offer! Reborn and still buying secondhand goods—how disgusting!
This is utterly ridiculous! The protagonist is supposed to be a powerful figure, yet he goes out without any trusted aides or bodyguards. When he gets into a conflict, he acts like an idiot and takes matters into his own hands. He's so easily subdued by the security guards. Such a big hotel, and not a single senior executive? Are the security guards the boss? It's utterly shameful.
Some things I don't want to release, and some I haven't reviewed yet. I plan to find 600-700 by Sunday.
These two chapters are so awful, especially the scene where the protagonist encounters the Yamaguchi-gumi. He feels like a background character, even asking why they didn't bring more people – shouldn't that be a background character's line? Did the protagonist get treated like a background character by a background character?
It's laughable that you act like a lapdog around gangsters. Have you ever seen a billionaire afraid of gangsters? Xiang Huaqiang, are you really that afraid of him? It's laughable. In front of the wealthy, gangsters are just dogs, you know? This novel that glorifies the underworld should be banned! How could they let it continue?
I read up to chapter 380, and it was so toxic, I was completely hooked. The protagonist, worth billions, gets extorted by a triad gang called Sun Yee On, who even targets his main businesses. Seriously, author, do you even know what a capitalist is? What right does a lowly triad member have to speak to a capitalist? You need to respect the power of money, you bastard!
Author, could you please stop making the protagonist sleep with every woman he meets, as if it's your own personal hobby, like he's incapable of resisting women? If that's the case, then you shouldn't be writing suggestions. It's getting more and more annoying.
