Come on! Let's Make Some Trouble Together! [Follow Me]
Please follow and like! I don't enjoy contemporary romance, so I won't recommend much of it (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ If I have time soon, I might add back some of the books that were taken down. A reader suggested a rating system, so for now it's: immortal-tier, good read, dry grass, poison grass =￣ω￣=
The Picky Readers’ Alliance
Everyone has different tastes. I abandon most books on other lists after reading just the opening, but I've also discovered some books on fellow readers' lists that I personally love. Some are so obscure that many readers have missed them, which I think is a real shame. So I've put together this list in the hope that more readers will discover these hidden gems. Taste is deeply personal, of course, so this is only meant to help readers who share mine. I read slowly and rarely read several books
I Prefer Traditional Eastern Mythology, Not Fantasy. I Hate Spiritual Roots and the Like
Absolutely excellent reads
Books I Stayed Up Late to Follow

(Mostly Female-Oriented!) Pushing the Limits of Danger Again and Again
I'm picky. Picking a book is like finding a partner: it all comes down to fate! ❤️ I've been reading women's fiction for seven or eight years. Don't ask why I read it instead of men's fiction: the male-oriented stuff is way too steeped in chauvinism. Of course, women's fiction has even more duds, so we just have to make do in the cracks 🐴👴 Lately, I'm into books with a Pluto-like vibe! I love astrology ❤️ Note: There are some men's fiction titles! This type of women's fiction is rare, so you can

No romantic pairing
This story has no romantic pairing; it's just about a high-level player leading two low-level players through their days. If you're asking about romantic pairings, don't wait any longer.
The plot and writing style of this book are quite good. However, I don't really like the character Yan Hai. His presence is too strong, even overshadowing Ning Zhao, and he lacks any distinct character traits. Ning Zhao clearly stated he didn't want to take him along, yet he stubbornly insisted on coming along, knowing the journey was dangerous and that he had no fighting ability whatsoever.
Why do so many people dislike Yan Hai? I think it's really great that the female lead has such a friend; otherwise, life would be so boring and would lack so much fun. Xia Yuhe is right; life is like a dry well.
The more I watch, the more annoyed Yan Hai becomes. Everyone says he's just a tool, but I think he treats Ning Zhao like a toy to satisfy his own curiosity. Even when Ning Zhao is injured, he doesn't seem worried at all; he'll still do the same foolish things next time. Although it's necessary for the plot of the novel, it's still infuriating.
There's a perk for new readers: I finished reading this trio in four and a half days. I didn't spend a single penny, but I definitely benefited from the author's generosity. I'm currently stuck at home preparing for exams and short on cash, so I could only tip 15 yuan. But my connection with this book goes far beyond 15 yuan!
The more I read about Yan Hai, the more uncomfortable I felt, and I couldn't continue. The author's writing is really, really good, but Yan Hai is like the giant rat in a Manchu Han Imperial Feast—it's just awful 😣 If Yan Hai were just a plot device, he could have been written in a more endearing way, but because of his curiosity, he's just...
What's Yan Hai's job? I've read a few chapters, and he has exactly the same amount of screen time as the female lead. He's always going around in circles; it's a flaw. I don't want to read anymore.
I don't quite understand why so many people say they dislike Yan Hai. After all, I find him quite funny. And at the beginning of the story, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, from an incredibly wealthy family; the naiveté of a pampered teenager is understandable. He might cause trouble later, but he's still just a mortal.
The best question I've seen recently, bar none. Yan Hai is clearly adorable. He risked his life to save the protagonist several times. He is a truly kind person, and it's really not easy to be kind without appearing naive or hypocritical. He is genuinely sincere towards his friends. If you haven't seen it, please don't be deterred by comments criticizing Yan Haifan. Everyone has their own opinion, but I personally really like every character in it.
I love Yan Hai! No arguments! Haha! This character is just so adorable! His presence is absolutely the icing on the cake! I just have a feeling there will be other developments for him later in the story. The author's writing skills are truly masterful; the language is vivid and interesting, making each character come alive. I'm truly impressed!
