Unearthed Treasures from the Sea of Books: Underrated Novels, Part 1
I've been reading since 2004, and years of experience have shaped my tastes. I lean toward science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. In general, I look for books that are interesting, well-written, or just plain fun. These recommendations are for when you're out of things to read. They're enjoyable, but not flawless. Sometimes I forget to keep following a book, but you don't have to read every story to the end. Besides, even good books often go downhill at the finish. Lately, digging for
So Satisfying to Revisit (*˘︶˘*)...:*♡
Books with a really comfortable writing style. A bestseller doesn’t automatically suit my taste. I’m picky. Please don’t recommend books to me, friends. I only pick books when the mood strikes. The title, synopsis, and first three chapters are what matter.

Love Power Fantasies: Smart Leads, Darker Stories 😂
A bit of everything, but no stories where the protagonist gets tortured. I prefer fan fiction and anime-inspired stories. Most are feel-good reads, not beginner-level fluff. Lately, I'm into Cthulhu Mythos and Di-style stories, like Di's followers in Overlord. The Kantai Collection trilogy is worth checking out (I Have a Date with a Ship Girl), among others. There's also Global Online. These have all gone inactive.

My Favorites
No tired tropes, no good-for-nothing protagonists, no tormenting the main character, and no childish writing, unless it’s good. I recommend reading from the bottom up (⊙o⊙) I still don’t like you, my liege, like clouds drifting tens of thousands of miles without asking when they’ll return ☁☁; I still don’t like you, Your Majesty, like the wind drying up the ocean across a hundred thousand miles, never to stir another ripple 🍃🍃🌊🌊; I still don’t like you, my sovereign, like the sunset’s fading gl

Keep it up, this client is getting worse and worse with each update.
It started strong but ended weakly. The protagonist's survival was based on the system, then suddenly he deviated from the system's path to power, forcing the narrative to rely on his own efforts to grow stronger, yet still completely dependent on the system for survival and advancement. The plot felt awkward.
The first 130 chapters can be considered a very good book, but the 130th chapter is poisonous, and I died from the poison!
Advantages: The world-building is fantastic, and the plot of the first 100 chapters is quite good. It can be described as a truly excellent work! Disadvantages: The main storyline is vague, it's a hodgepodge of multiple systems, the plot is sometimes unpredictable, there are no climaxes in the mid-to-late game, and leveling up is extremely slow. Overall, it's a real shame, a huge shame.
I don't understand why women are always used to highlight the male protagonist. Have some consideration for female readers; after reading the portrayals of women in novels, I just want to smash their heads in.
The saying "knowledge is power" isn't just a saying. The protagonist is clearly a steady type who loves research and even has a top-tier research cheat code like a "study genius space," yet he spends all his time wandering around. The author arranges numerous fortuitous encounters, but they're all ultimately useless.
The book's basic framework is impressive, and the early chapters are quite good. It combines a system-based, Cthulhu-inspired, and academically brilliant story, with a hint of the steady, methodical style. There are some interesting anecdotes, such as the concept of the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill," which is quite amusing.
Keep it up, author! Don't abandon the project. Try to save up as many drafts as possible during the new book's run. Keep it up! (ง •̀O•́)ง (ง •̀o•́)ง
This book certainly has its merits. What moved me the most was the love between Wu Song and Diao Chan. Zhang Fei turned against his sworn brother, the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, to save Wang Mang. In particular, reading about Guo Jing giving up his position as leader of the Sun Moon Sect and resolutely wandering the world with the Gentleman Sword brought tears to my eyes.
You can change your name now. Back in the day, I was just a background character, always rushing around and triggering events, with no time to study. Even though I claimed to be on the safe side, the protagonist said the most cowardly things and acted the most recklessly.
