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

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…

Why do I feel like this book is a little off topic?
The first time I read a book by Tang Sifang was Crosstalk Master. Mr. Fang Wenqi insists on the art of cross talk, takes cross talk as his life, and spends his whole life fighting for cross talk. The same goes for the protagonist He Xiangdong. He has followed the old man for many years and truly regards traditional art as everything to him. Call him paranoid or stubborn, but his persistence in traditional art is really touching. As for the second book, Juggling Luo, the foreshadowing and digging are very good, and the sense of immersion is also very strong. Shan Yitang's heroic sacrifice, Mr. Lu's lifelong persistence and hard work, and the various descriptions of tricks all attracted me. Century of Juggling Luo has been a legend from generation to generation. However, there are still some problems at the end, and it always gives people the feeling of being too hasty, as if they are anxious to explain all these things clearly and complete the book as soon as possible. However, Sifang later made it clear in his remarks after finishing the book. This is also a common problem among many authors, and I believe everyone can understand it. However, despite its flaws, this is still a rare book. Although this Peking Storyteller only has 100,000 words, I still feel confused when reading it. The style is very different from the previous two books. The title of the book is Storyteller, but there is not much to introduce it. Instead, it digs a very deep hole from the beginning, and the various processes of development are basically the protagonist trying to be clever. The kind of book that takes advantage of the situation to deceive big people who can't be offended by all walks of life and fools many people is good. Whether it is refreshing or interesting, it can be regarded as a good book. But I want to say that without that kind of traditional art, without those touching points, it is just blind deception and false pretense. This is not what I want to see in Tang Sifang's writing. But it's only 100,000 words, and it's too early to say this, but I hope to see the touch and tears of the former cross talk master Mr. Fang's last performance, and I also hope to see the charm of traditional art in juggling. After all, how can traditional art that has been loved by countless audiences in China for hundreds or even thousands of years become outdated? Finally, to borrow a sentence from cross talk master He Xiangdong, art is never wrong, only people are wrong.
In 100,000 words, I can't see the main points. It's all about popularizing science and being clever.
That's a lot of talk - what a talent!
After reading the book "Jihua Luohe", I suddenly discovered that Gao Jieyi + Jin Dan = Shan Yitang. It is very likely that the original founders of Shan Yi Tang were these two people.
What is the point? Is it just an ordinary pretense? Is there no goal? I can't find anything exciting. It's a rubbish novel.
It's just trying to be clever, and the more you look at it, the less interesting it becomes.
Alas, I don't even know how to evaluate this book. I can only say that the protagonist really embarrasses the time-travelers! However, it is understandable that the subject matter of this book may still be too niche. The author wants to show the low-class characters in the early years of the Republic of China, so the protagonist must be limited to this group... However, it is difficult to accept, and the writing is too scattered... According to the kind of thinking I am looking forward to, that is the thinking of literary giants in the Republic of China. The modern storytelling master Shan Tianfangke also appeared For several books, it stands to reason that if the protagonist wants to protect the people he wants to protect, he has to work hard to climb up and seek knowledge and reach the princes. He always worms his way in and out of the gangsters and actors. If there is a way out, it is better to take the literary route and become famous, and then talk about his own books... So, maybe the subject matter is too niche, and the author has too many ideas...
Bullshit done under the skin of a storyteller
Fat Tang is still here. When I found him, it was already very late. His books are no longer updated. After reading his books, I was shocked. I didn't expect that there are so many things to pay attention to in the folk art industry. It's great that there are people who understand it so well and transmit it to us.
How to say it! The book is well written. The story is quite interesting. It just doesn't stick to the theme. It took me two hundred chapters to write a story about the protagonist, and the rest were about how the protagonist got around in the world. The title of the book is Peking Storytellers Basically Don't Tell Stories. It's better to call them Peking Jianghu people instead.
