Lighthearted Novels
Maybe I’m getting older. I’m not into fighting and killing anymore, and prefer something light and relaxing, so I read a lot of urban entertainment stories. I’m also tired of elaborate schemes and plots. They’re exhausting. Most of these books have one heroine or none at all. I’m out of things to read. My bookshelf is packed, but I only open three books each day: Super Dimensional Wizard, The Meow of Words Takes Shape, and Embers Ad Infinitum. Otherwise, I revisit old favorites. I’m thinking of

Dropped, But Still Good
When you've got nothing to read, it's nice to read something while grumbling and complaining about it.
No Feel-Good Power Trips, Just Fun and Thought-Provoking Stories
Added a new option: “If I could recommend only five books” The five books that have stuck with me most are Super-Dimensional Wizard, Throne of Magical Arcana, The Primitive Wars, The Azeroth Adventure Guide, and Journey to Klimasha. Of course, Cultivation Chat Group and Lord of the Mysteries are classics too, but those two know far too much, so I won't recommend them. There's also A Scholarly Gathering with My Lich Colleagues, which I've been reading lately. The author hasn't written enough yet

The Qing Dynasty and Republican Era
If you enjoy novels set in the late Qing and early Republican eras, come take a look. Some books I’ve read have since been censored: The Great Hero of the 1911 Revolution, The Great Warlord of the 1911 Revolution, Warlords of the 1911 Revolution, The Iron-Blooded Republic, The Beiyang Warlord, and Speculators of the Republic. Lately, I’ve noticed there are fewer and fewer books on my list…

I feel like this book has gone a bit off-topic.
The first book I read by Tang Sifang was about a crosstalk master. Mr. Fang Wenqi's dedication to the art of crosstalk was evident in his lifelong commitment to it. He devoted his entire life to the pursuit of crosstalk. The protagonist, He Xiangdong, is the same. He has followed the old master for many years and truly regards traditional art as his everything.
It's over 100,000 words long and doesn't get to the point. It's all just popular science and clever tricks.
He speaks so eloquently—what a talent!
After reviewing the information about the book and the book "The Magical World," I suddenly realized that Gao Jieyi + Jin Dan = Shan Yitang. It's very possible that these two were the original founders of Shan Yitang.
What's the point? What's the main idea? Is it just ordinary showing off? Is there no goal? Can't find the satisfying parts? This is trash novel.
They only know how to be clever, and it's getting less and less interesting the more you watch them.
Sigh, I don't even know how to rate this book. The protagonist is a disgrace to time travelers! But I can understand; perhaps the subject matter is too niche. The author wanted to portray the lives of the lower classes in the early Republic of China, so the protagonist had to be confined to that group… But it's hard to accept; the writing is too scattered…
What a load of bullshit he did while wearing the guise of a storyteller
Tang Pangzi is still around. I discovered him quite late; his books were no longer being updated. After reading his books, I was amazed. I never imagined that there were so many intricacies in the performing arts, that someone understood them so well, and that someone was passing them on to us. It's truly wonderful.
Well, the book is well-written. The story is quite engaging. However, it doesn't quite stay on topic. It's been two hundred chapters before the protagonist actually tells stories; the rest is all about how he navigates the martial arts world. The title is "The Storyteller of Beiping Doesn't Actually Tell Stories," so it should probably be renamed "The Martial Arts World of Beiping."
