"Treasure Trove Bookshop": Anime and Light Novels, No AI-Generated Stories
Mostly anime and historical fiction. I write reviews but don't give ratings. Most of these books are complete. Some explore extremely niche topics, while others are famous blockbusters. Whether it's a morning glory tucked away in a corner where nobody sees it or a rose beloved by everyone, each has its own brilliance. These books all have some degree of originality. I won't use AI to bring in older books, and I've also filtered out some ongoing works, so I rarely use AI or quote it at all. Parti
City of Storms
A Life in Seclusion Among the People Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty The great recluse lives in the imperial court or the city; the lesser recluse retreats to the hills and fields. But the hills and fields are too desolate, while the city is too noisy. Better to be a recluse in between, a low-ranking official left behind in the capital. As if departing, yet still present; neither busy nor idle. No need to exhaust heart or strength, yet free from hunger and cold. No official duties all year round,

Great Book Recommendations, Fewer Reading Slumps
Books with lots of subscribers: urban, light novels, and historical fiction~ A step above newbies, but not quite a veteran reader~ These are my personal opinions, so please don't take offense~ My ratings are only: Solid pick (has something going for it) Must-read (really good) I'm out of things to read. I've dropped so many books halfway through~
Only the Best Books Over One Million Words

"No boys allowed." "What does that mean?" "It means no boys allowed." "Who can understand what you're saying?" "These are the Emperor's sacred words. They're highly effective against the daemons of the Warp." "Where are the daemons??" "You'll know once you've finished saying it."

A Long-Review Booklist Focused on Promising Newcomers
I'll remove self-promotions, but I'll generally give anything interesting a trial read. I don't do reviews, so please don't ask. Thanks.
Joyful Absurdity, Effortlessly Invincible
I only recommend fun, overpowered stories with fresh premises and a goofy, feel-good vibe. These are all novels I've read. I also really dislike novels where the protagonist is dragged around by missions forced on them by a System. The longer I read, the pickier I get, and the harder it is to find anything I like. These days, I'm only into lighthearted, overpowered, goofy stories that leave me feeling happy. If you have similar tastes, please recommend something! It's hard to find good books,

Every Book Is a Gem!

Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.

A note before the book is published
Hai Lang has run out of ideas; the production of his new book is not ideal. I could have posted this earlier, but while working on another book similar to "The Villainess," I suddenly wondered: Is this all I'm capable of? I felt it wouldn't work, so I started all over again and created this plot-driven novel, "The Plagiarist," which is probably the most formulaic novel with the clearest main…
I want to build a building for Bai Ma Ningzi, so I won't always be represented by others. Support Bai Ma Ningzi!
I never expected the author to be such a handsome middle-aged man! Even though I don't read this book, I still couldn't resist subscribing to the entire series. I love it! Dear brother, I'm in love!!! (.̮✽)
The Minami sisters! I suddenly thought that Chihara could direct a live-action version of the Minami-ke trio, with Shirama Ningko as Haruka, Yumei as Natsuna, and Nietu as Chiaki. Chihara himself could play the role of the adorable but sassy man. The last few chapters by Master Qianyuan are exactly the same as those by Disgusting Handsome.
I've tipped the author, will there be an extra chapter?
A sudden feeling
I'm 41 now. For someone born in the 70s like me, having to pay for books was simply unacceptable. So I've never read a legitimate book, always browsing pirated websites. I read what I liked, and abandoned what I didn't. I never had the inclination to follow updates. Whether the author wrote fast or slow, good or bad, was irrelevant to me. I just watched indifferently, without any attachment.
A few honest words from a reader who quit reading this book.
I started reading The Sea of Clouds from the book "The Villainess." At that time, the female characters in "The Villainess" were controversial in book reviews, mostly described as being lolicon or having unruly children. Back then, I considered myself part of The Sea of Clouds' target audience, and I thought the characterization of "The Villainess" was alright; I could tolerate the occasional…
Recent update issues
Because my grandfather passed away, and because of the inheritance... A lot of trouble ensued. As the peacemaker, I'm currently caught in the middle, suffering from both sides, which has slowed down my updates considerably. I'm really sorry about that. 😭
I'm really sorry, but recently a lot of troublesome things have happened in the underwater world, making updates very unstable. But please don't worry, this book will definitely not be abandoned! I will finish writing it properly.
I've read over a hundred chapters so far, let me share my thoughts. I got hooked on the novel after reading "The Villainess of the Sea," which greatly inspired me and gave me the courage to keep going. As the book says, writers have a certain educational responsibility.
