Farming Fiction and a Nursery for Promising New Reads
Reading is like savoring delicious food. A good book can keep you hooked and broaden your horizons. Books are like portals that let you glimpse the wonders of another world. I'm open to recommendations, but this list only accepts novels with consistent logic. No need to recommend formulaic stories with nothing new to offer. Also, don't self-promote books that clearly aren't pastoral fiction based on the title or blurb. It's best to recommend directly in the comments using your author account, so

A Place for Fantasy
For a work to count as fantasy, in the narrow sense of the term, it needs a complete world of its own. Stories that grow out of such a world are what we call fantasy. The first category is mainstream fantasy, or epic fantasy. Often compared with sword-and-sorcery fantasy, it focuses on grander themes and broader plots. Rather than individual adventures, it deals with political struggles, wars between nations, and the fate of the world. Works in this category tend to be meticulously written and r

Unusual fantasy that lives up to my expectations I like novels where the protagonist is a mastermind working behind the scenes, playing the game from a high-level perspective. I hate good-for-nothing protagonists and progression stories. You don't have to wait until the protagonist has mastered some divine technique before they make their move, but at the very least, they should have trained as much as they possibly can. What I find most baffling is how someone fresh out of the gate always has t

An Old Bookworm's Reading Diary
I've been reading novels for over a decade, and the longer I've been at it, the fewer books I find worth reading. Here I'm sharing the novels I like and am currently following with fellow veteran readers like me. I don't care about an author's ranking; it doesn't matter whether they're a big name or not. I hope you find something you enjoy. P.S. The books I recommend are generally over 500,000 characters long. I usually let shorter ones build up first, so I won't recommend them until then.

A word of warning to readers: if you come across an author who loves handing out permanent bans, stay away from their books. You don't want to make one careless comment in the reviews and get permanently banned. Wouldn't that be infuriating? These are the kinds of books I read regularly, a bit of everything, mostly popular novels that are pretty good. I'll keep adding more. I've also made a separate list of books where I got banned. My reviews aren't even harsh, yet I still got banned, which tel

I'm a longtime reader. I don't read angst-heavy stories or amateurish writing, and I need characters to have some brains. I guess I'm a bit of a stats nerd too (๑˙ー˙๑) If you know any other good books, leave a comment and I'll check them out. I'll add the good ones from time to time٩(๑`н´๑)۶ There are no romance novels on this list. I may add some wuxia novels if I come across ones I like.

Tentacle monster vs. Horse monkey soju 😏
I guess the reason why it's not popular is that it's not very good. How can the ancient gods be so cheap? Shouldn't the ancient gods be chaotic and incomprehensible? How did I become an amiable grandpa when I came to your place The writing is quite good, but it just doesn't have that flavor.
After seeing Chapter 500, I was ready to give up. After thinking about it, I decided to say a few words. The opening concept is great, I'm looking forward to it very much. But from the moment Alice, the first witch, awakened her power, I had a vague feeling that it was not good. The author's positioning was wrong and it might be gone. I remember when we were in junior high school, our Chinese teacher defined several elements of a novel. In fact, I can't remember them at all. The only thing I remember is that contradictions drive the plot and the plot enriches the characters. These are the qualities that an excellent novel must have. The author always explains to readers how pure witches are, and he especially likes psychological descriptions. To be honest, this kind of psychological description is the worst. To express a character's personality, you must not use her talking to herself. But through what she did, from the perspective of an outsider. Readers hope that they are omniscient, but the author cannot let readers know everything. Instead, he must hide some things and stimulate curiosity through games with readers. Similar to what Lao Guo said, storytelling must have a hook, otherwise will you come back next time? Focus more on plot conflicts. This is something I have become more and more important in reading online articles for more than ten years. Authors must learn to subtract, remove unimportant plots, and describe them in one sentence. For example, developing thermal weapons. There is really no need for such long descriptions. Instead, they must be interspersed in the plot and use more exciting conflicts to attract readers and make them ignore these boring things. How to make a gun and how to make a cannon. Do readers need you to popularize science? You just need to make the characters' abilities and technology in the novel logically consistent. Remember that you are writing a novel, and all these things are serving your plot. Only a wonderful plot can make the characters more vivid and attract your readers to follow. Farming, technology, witches, and ancient gods are all means, and the plot is the core. After talking about the plot, let's talk about the characters. There are quite a few characters that have appeared so far, but none of them left a deep impression on me. They are all very stereotyped, especially Alice, who the author has designated as the first harem. A little girl of junior high school age, who has been growing up under the protection of her relatives, can transform herself into a person who is immersed in the laboratory researching technology every day in a few months? ? ? How many adults can do this? Faced with the "bad news" about his father and sister one after another, are you just worried? Didn't even stop the work at hand? Don't you organize people to look for it? Not asking for help from other lords? Is your heart so big? Let's talk about Sir Waymar. I feel like this character's only role is to sell his daughter. The process of him turning to the tentacle monster is simply inexplicable. Just because his daughter believes in the ancient gods, he changes with him? Don't think that thermal weapons are so great, the witch's holy family is even worthless. The war between humans and orcs has been going on for many years. The ancient gods have not just come to this world. As the kingdom's trump cards are revealed one by one, the strength of both sides continues to upgrade. The methods of other ancient gods are not even as good as the holy family? This paradox becomes increasingly difficult to explain. A politician who has been in the system for so many years and is even qualified to be involved in the struggle for succession, will he fall to Ability God just because of a few guns and a few landmines? Are your eyelids that shallow? Will he allow his daughter to have the tendency to believe in strange gods? How big is the Blackstone Territory? How big is the kingdom? Is this how high the bet is? His exile to the Blackstone Territory was just a political asylum, and he still wanted to continue working and return to the royal capital. Wasn't the fact that his daughter was a heretic not enough for his whole family to be burned on the stake? These are just a few of the more obvious flaws, and there are many such logical contradictions that make the characters in the book like character cards. If the author writes an attribute on it, he will have one more, without his own thinking, his own stance, and his own character. Finally, let's talk about the positioning of the book. A reader in the book review section said it very well. If you don't have the ability to create trends, you have to bow your head and compromise. You set tentacle monsters and beautiful witches just to open a harem and engage in ambiguity, so some readers are filtered out. But you are worried about 404 and have been reluctant to drive. The readers who are attracted by your subject matter will also be offended by you. Nowadays, the definition of Internet articles is actually becoming more and more precise. If you want to read serious books, read them in real form. Internet articles must be mobile, fragmented, and entertainment-oriented. This is determined by the market and cannot be changed by personal will, so the author wants the data to look good. Either you have the ability to break this rule and lead a new trend, or you can honestly compromise with the market, otherwise you are sure to be on the street.
People who have many problems should think about their own problems carefully. Everyone has different ideas. Writing an ancient god is not like an ancient god in this way and that is not like an ancient god in that way. This is an ancient god written by the author, an ancient god transformed by a player. Many people have problems when reading novels. They like to bring their own opinions. What you are reading is a novel written by someone else. How could the author know what you think and how to write according to your ideas? Are you really going to write a book on ancient mythology? You have to understand what the author writes, leave if you don't like it, stay if you like it This novel is obviously just a set of ancient gods' abilities. The protagonist is not the ancient god himself, but the other ancient gods are the real ancient gods. The protagonist is a human thought, using the essence of earth's human culture for thousands of years to develop power, and an ancient god with a bit of player thinking. It is almost as if he is a traitor to the ancient gods. The internal system in the future is probably biased toward utopia. Everyone has their own favorites. I don't know about the setting of Ancient Gods. I just think this subject matter is very interesting and I like the setting so I came to read it. If you like to use human thinking to use the abilities of Ancient Gods, you can read it. Some people are loyal fans of the setting of Ancient Gods. If you feel that the human thinking in Ancient Gods makes you uncomfortable, you can look for novels that match the Ancient Gods you think.
I've basically finished reading it, and since my grades are not good, I'd like to make some suggestions. The biggest problem with this book is its unstable positioning. Although this book is said to have adopted part of the setting of Love Craftsmanship, and it is a strange beast, the final feedback image is actually a tentacle monster. In addition, the promise made in the early part of the article that it can be transformed into a human form directly places the positioning of this article in the "harem". In this way, at the beginning of the book, readers with single and no female protagonists are basically filtered out. But how did the author arrange it later? The beginning was okay, but as it went on, the lily trend among the heroines became more obvious. The protagonist even transformed into an old man in the last public chapter to meet the heroines, which basically made readers feel that they had lost all hope of accepting the heroine. Readers who liked the harem were discouraged a lot, which is why so many subscriptions were dropped at the beginning. Because of the single heroine, readers without a heroine and a harem were all turned away. You must know that people nowadays are basically very impatient. When they see the so-called "poisonous points", they will probably retreat directly instead of persisting. After all, the next step will be real money (it will be worse if you watch pirated ones). The author is not strong enough to retain readers by his writing alone. Most of the readers who stay are readers who are still looking forward to it because of the opening chapter. To sum up the above problems, it is actually "more than one heroine, not a harem". Neither of them pleases each other, and this is what affects the performance the most. If you want to improve your performance, the most important thing is to stabilize the route. There is no way to change it at the beginning. It is best to directly determine the harem route and take advantage of the recommendation of the most famous harem author (Ji Cha) from this starting point to retain the influx of readers and make a good turnaround. Otherwise, if you continue to write like this, as the number of words increases, the patience of Harem readers will become less and less, and they will slowly switch from genuine to pirated, and finally give up. Then this book would really be hopeless. The author also said that he has a family to support and children to raise. As an adult, if you consider your family, you should compromise appropriately with the market. Finally, this is a rare novel with potential, with a tentacle monster as the protagonist. I hope it can be written well. Above, Happy New Year
Is this the story of the tentacle monster and his harem?
Book review of "Self-cultivation of the Ancient Gods"
What a miserable business. I admire the author's noble sentiments. Talk about your personal irresponsible point of view. 1 The setting and world view are very attractive. However, I feel that the world view is reflected too little or even not at all in the early stage, which may not retain readers. Later, a corner of the world finally unfolded, the Devouring of Ancient Gods, and the Star-Seeking Civilization (appeared in the dungeon, but there seemed to be no hints or foreshadowing before this dungeon. It always felt a bit abrupt when watching it - it was obviously an adventure exploration, but there was no expectation to reveal the truth step by step. It is like a new and imaginary journey; it is obviously a technology left over from ancient times, but it has not left an ancient shadow on the earth), the endless starry sky... It is obvious that we are in a world of chaos and madness (perhaps), but there is no fear of peeking into the "conspiracy" of the world step by step. Generally speaking, it feels like there is a lack of foreshadowing, resulting in a lack of tension when the explosion occurs, and it is also a bit abrupt. 2 Technology tree, the industrialization of the Western Fantasy version should be a major feature of this book. But spending a chapter or so on "an in-depth analysis of the basic principles and magic of thermal weapons" may be too lazy for some readers. 3 Forgive me for speaking out quickly: the pace of this book is too slow! One hundred chapters are just beginning, another few hundred chapters are establishing a foothold, and another one or two hundred chapters are Arabey's initial decision. So now the popular dramas: "Waiting for Territory Expansion", "Waiting for the Ancient Gods to Struggle for Hegemony", "Waiting to Exploring Space", "Waiting for the Galaxy", "Waiting for the Stars to Return", "Waiting..." In the vast galaxy, when is the New Year! There are currently 600 chapters, and it is estimated that there will be 6,000 chapters when the galaxy is unified... Readers cannot afford to wait. In addition, some things may be better if they are "appropriately detailed". For example, when our amiable and respectable author first wrote about Iluli and the four-star witches, I was guessing: Someone among them must have been in trouble, and Climb helped generously, and then someone converted to our religion, gradually corrupting the four-star witches, the disaster became more and more serious, and finally captured them all, and then Arabbe joined forces with the Blackstone Territory epic to dominate the ocean and control the air. Eat two kingdoms, force the orc army to death, devour one god, and hunt down another who escaped. At the same time, we gradually approach the reality of the world and face a new crisis. Diaomin like me only thinks that things that readers can guess, that are tedious in daily life, must be like this, that can be said in one sentence, and that are not very attractive anyway, should be abbreviated. Our author is like holding a fine brush, carefully describing every bit of the world. But sometimes readers can only guess half a dozen of the plot that follows, and writing it in detail may not be attractive and cost-effective. Anyway, plot! 4 Let me talk about what I find interesting. Climb's evolution always leaves people with endless reveries. Teasing the witch from time to time is a good spice, but some readers may not be used to this unconventional relationship between the male protagonist and the witch, or the lonely LSP simply feels that there is nothing useful. It's also fun to set up a worldview. Above. Praise to our authors!
There is a saying: What are you, the ancient god? You don't want women, you don't want blood sacrifices, you don't want gold, you don't want magic power. Are you here to build infrastructure? ****Ancient God? You are still coaxing the little girl like this, you must be a true god (without mercy Those who like Cthulhu will not like to read it, and those who like children's fairy tales will not come Slip away.
This book is good, why isn't it popular?
