I think these are pretty good. Give them a try! I’ll update and clean up the list from time to time.
Reading in Peace
I was delighted when I happened to find out I could create a book list. Every book suits a certain kind of reader. I don’t need mindless stories or harems. Finding a book that feels like mine in this sea of stories lets me escape into another world anytime, anywhere, like enjoying a warm cup of afternoon tea. Rated out of three stars: three stars means a classic, one star means decent, and two stars falls in between. I’ll slowly add new books. Why slowly? I’m picky about what I like, or, as you’
Books I've Read That Were Pretty Good, Solid Reads and Hidden Gems
Mostly anime-inspired fiction, fan fiction, fantasy, game stories, wuxia, xianxia, and historical fiction. I've been into this stuff for a long time, with nearly twelve years of reading under my belt. I started reading novels in middle school, so I'm a seasoned old bookworm by now. No mindless wish-fulfillment novels or overpowered hero stories, please. I often forget to update the list ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)
Food for the Mind
I've tested every one of these, and they're all delightful
Notes from the Azure Sky
I keep an eye on promising new authors and remove their books if I can't get into them. I recommend books I've bought in full, and drop them if I can't keep reading. I don't add older books I already know well.

On the Feasibility of Copying Poems in Ancient Times
On the feasibility of copying poetry in ancient times You quietly opened your eyes and found yourself in the Tang Dynasty, because if you want to become famous through poetry, it is best to go to the Tang Dynasty. People at this time are open and enthusiastic, and women will wear wide open collars if they don't agree with each other. You feel that you can definitely be a good person. But there is a condition that you must be ahead of Li Bai. Once this man appears, you can't think about becoming famous through his poems, because the main thing you want to copy is his poems. Not like Du Fu who was bitter and resentful, not like Bai Juyi who missed the prosperous Tang Dynasty and wrote some bitter poems. What you want is Qinglian Jushi's romantic spirit and wildness, so that you can attract more fans, especially female fans. So, you have traveled to the first year of Xiantian, which is 712 AD. Why this year? Because this was the year Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ascended the throne, it was only two years after he and his aunt Princess Taiping launched the "Tang Long Coup". In addition, there is another major benefit to your time travel to this year. Li Longji has just ascended the throne and is the new emperor. He is short of manpower around him. Moreover, Princess Taiping will launch a coup in a year. You can tell Li Longji in advance. This alone will help you get ahead. Since you want to become famous in the Tang Dynasty through poetry, of course you have to write poems. Li Bai was only twelve years old at this time. You can steal his poems as much as you like. After you steal a few poems, you will be known to others. After many twists and turns, you will indeed meet Li Longji, because there are many people who love talents and will recommend you. At this time, you can't just steal, you have to understand what poetry is. It's not just a rhyme that makes it a poem. There are many things that need to be paid attention to. Everyone knows the meaning of rhymes, but you may not know some of the allusions. And what is poetry? It is a plan spoken out and aspiration expressed. Otherwise, why did so many people chant their aspirations through poetry in ancient times? "Mao's Poems" says: The poet has his ambition. What is in the heart is ambition, and what is spoken is poetry. The "Chunqiu Shuo Inscription" says this: Things are poems, and things that are not done are strategies. So, you have to understand that when you steal poems, you should also look at the artistic conception and the allusions. Don't steal a poem and others applaud it, and say that you cleverly use allusions to express your ambitions, but you are confused and can't explain it, or you say "what are allusions" in a big mouth, and you get the reputation of not knowing allusions, and you are humiliated by people in the Tang Dynasty who hang them on the wall with posts. In that case, you will be humiliated. But this is not the biggest thing. After you become famous through poetry, you drink with a group of people, maybe there is Li Longji, and you have to drink according to the drinking order. This requires improvisation. For a lower level, simple rhymes are enough. But if you can sit and drink with a CEO of the emperor's level, of course you have to play at an advanced level. This is difficult. You need allusions, sources, rhyming parallels, and a relationship with the people you drink with. For example, if an old minister sees you succeeding at a young age and feels a little jealous, he comes up to ask you for an order. This kind of on-the-spot behavior will stump you. What should you do? You can only pretend to be drunk and not answer. At this time, most people will come out to talk to each other, and they also feel that you are not good enough on the spot, so they chatted and talked about a poem you stole a few days ago, Li Bai's "Ancient Style" with true rhymes: The group belongs to the Xiu Ming, and they ride on the luck and jump together. Literary and quality are Binghuan, and all stars are Luo Qiumin. I am determined to delete the description and reflect it for thousands of years. If the Holy Spirit is established, his last writing will be in Huolin. This person clapped his hands after reading it and said, "Excuse me, brother, do you think it is hard to find a close friend when you use the allusion of Huolin here?" I am not trying to embarrass you, but to help you. You just wrote this poem a few days ago and used the allusion of Huolin in the West. But how do you understand the meaning of this sentence written by Confucius in "Spring and Autumn"? If you just steal it for temporary use, you will inevitably be criticized. How many times have you done this, do you think you can avoid being discovered? Forget it, forget it, it's too difficult. It's not about carrying tigers and insects when making a drinking order, it's about playing poetry. These people of the Tang Dynasty are too difficult to deal with. You think you should steal the words somewhere else. When it comes to writing lyrics, it is natural to go to the Song Dynasty, and it is the Northern Song Dynasty. It was an era with the best atmosphere for literati, and it was also an era of tolerance for literati. The important thing is that there were many famous prostitutes in the Song Dynasty. Hurry up and shut your grinning mouth. If you want to get these, you must first be talented. This doesn't bother you, so you smile evilly: "I have a lot of talents, but I stole them all." OK, let's just pretend that you have a computer in your head and you have memorized a lot of words, but do you know how to write words? Do you know what a word card is? Do you know how many word cards there are? Let's put it this way, Cipai is similar to rhythmic poetry. They are both formats. Rhymed poetry has four formats: Pingqiping ends the first sentence in a rhyme pattern, Pingqiping ends the first sentence without entering the rhyme pattern, Pingqiping ends with the first sentence without entering the rhyme pattern, Pingqiping ends with the first sentence in a rhyming pattern, and Ciaoqiping ends with the first sentence without entering the rhyme pattern. Are you having a headache? This is not even talking about those mediocre, mediocre, mediocre, mediocre, mediocre, mediocre, mediocre things. You are a little annoyed and angry. You are here to steal the lyrics. Why are you talking about poetry? Nothing else, just to let you know how difficult it is. Are these four formats of rhymed poetry giving you a headache? There are more than a thousand types of Cipai formats, that is, more than a thousand types of word scores. In addition, you have to remember the number of words in the content, that is, the minor order, the middle tone and the long tone: Within fifty-eight characters, it is the minor order, from fifty-nine to ninety-nine characters, it is the middle tone, and beyond ninety-one characters, it is the long tone. For example, Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was not good at being an emperor but wrote lyrics that made people cry. How much do you know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland could not bear to look back at the bright moon. The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed. How much sorrow can you have? Just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. This one has fifty-six characters, so it belongs to Xiaoling. Then someone would say that it is more than sixty characters, shouldn't it be the middle tune? You must know that there was no punctuation in ancient times, so it cannot be counted. Of course, Li Yu lost his life because of this poem. In fact, even if he didn't write, he might not have a happy death, but we won't verify this here. You said disapprovingly that you came here just to steal, and you didn't want to write it yourself. Why do you know this? OK! You can steal it, but you have to pay attention to the occasion. There are some allusions that are similar to the previous poems, so you have to understand them. Otherwise, you are just waiting to be embarrassed. You must know that the literati of the Song Dynasty are not freeloaders. If you are not careful, let alone the fans, you may fall into the situation of being killed by the literati of the Song Dynasty, and everyone will despise you. Don't say that everyone looks down on you, even those prostitutes look down on you. You must know that some prostitutes in the Song Dynasty were masters of writing lyrics and singing. They were easy to pick up, but you are so embarrassed that you are blushing and have a thick neck. How do you expect others to let you stay overnight? Get over you big-headed ghost! In addition, don't be fooled into thinking that when it comes to brothels, they are gaudy places. The elegance of the people in the Song Dynasty is enough to push you to the ground and rub you. Just talk about the level of these prostitutes. The novelist Luo Ye in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty wrote in "The Drunken Man "Tan Lu" classifies prostitutes in the Song Dynasty into three classes: The first class residences have spacious and quiet halls, each with three or four halls, many flowers planted in the front and back, or strange stone basins and pools, with scriptures on the left and history on the right, small rooms with curtains, and couches with curtains. All the prostitutes are good at writing and speaking, and they are also well-balanced and have a measured response. The second class of people who are good at music, color, and skills have been practicing their musical talents since childhood, and they have mastered their abilities by playing silk and bamboo orchestra, singing and dancing. The third class lives on the wall. Look, the high-ranking ones are literate and eloquent, and have amazing social skills. The second-class ones have received talent training since childhood and are more literary and artistic than most modern literary young women. Do you think you can play this kind of music literature well? Suppose you were sitting in front of a famous prostitute and she composed a song on the spot and asked you to write down the lyrics. What would you do? To understand the meaning of the song, the lyrics should be suitable for the occasion and of high quality. Do you know how? Acting on the spot is one of the main skills for attracting fans, do you have it? What makes people even more speechless is the kind of stolen words regardless of the occasion. For example, you became the young master of a family after time travel. You were about five years old, and then you wrote Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi·Dreams on the Night of the Twentieth Day of the First Month of Yimao" by Su Shi: Ten years of life and death are blurred, without thinking, and unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, no place to speak of desolation. Even if we meet each other and we don't know each other, our faces are covered with dust and our temples are as frosty... Does this mean that he regards himself as a second-rate person or does he regard the people of the Song Dynasty as an second-rate person? Where can a five-year-old child go to live and die for ten years? What's even more weird is that after writing, the family was shocked. The prince praised the child prodigy with his thumb. This simply ignored people's IQ. This sentence in memory of his deceased wife was written by a five-year-old child, and others still applauded it? It would be nice if you don't kill it as a monster! The above content comes from Baidu 0.0
She actually let Lin Daiyu marry Jia Baoyu, a bastard who could only run away after being flirted with.
It's so poisonous that I thought it was an imaginary historical conspiracy novel that used the guise of Red Mansion to attract readers, but in fact the author may really want to have sex with Hongjiu to the end. The beginning was not bad, but he started to poison him as soon as he entered Rongguo Mansion. We are all just distant relatives. How beneficial is it for a place like Ningrong's Second Mansion, which is destined to be confiscated and exterminated, to make Pigfoot eager to help them matchmaking! ! ! ! Just for Qin Keqing? And when he met Qin Keqing, his IQ dropped and he was slapped in the face. Qianqiu said that he couldn't teach students casually because his teacher was very qualified. Hindfoot Qin Keqing complained about it, and Pigfoot agreed! ! ! Agreed! ! ! What's the matter, I started supporting my cheap brother-in-law before I even got started! Then if you really get started, you won't have to take the Qin family to heaven. I didn't read the rest. Anyway, I was already poisoned to death by this point. 🙂
Just write about The Red Mansion and she won't look good? I have to fight for world domination, I don't understand it anymore!
The master of history writes history, and the preface is magnificent! Your preface can be written as a masterpiece of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. I really don't believe in fictional history! 😰😰😰
Originally it was for Sister Lin, but the writer gave up on Lin Daiyu. Slipping away.
Is this protagonist a stud? Want to put everyone in the Red Mansion except Old Lady Jia and Grandma Liu under your crotch? From time to time, I would say something about other people's wives. They were indeed relatives who learned to crawl through ashes. Nowhere was clean.
This book is a poisonous weed that contains food and has been abandoned. There is no need to write anymore, so I force the protagonist to find trouble without any logic, accept it, offend people in a meaningless way, and lie in the muddy water with Wang Ziteng on patrol. The protagonist's image is not as plump as the supporting character Xue Pan. If I can't write in the third person, can't I just stick to the first person? Too many questions, give up.
This book is written realistically. Even if Lin Daiyu married Jia Baoyu, Jia's house was not confiscated. I'm afraid this will be the ending in the end. Her body has weak bones, which is not conducive to fertility, and without the support of her maternal family, she may still suffer. And when you become Jia Baoyu's wife, you have to worry about the housekeepers. Both Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are masters who don't know the sufferings of the world. They can be romantic, but how can they understand these things?
There are ten embarrassments in the world, but you only have eight embarrassments
