Currently Following (An Emergency Kit for Reading Slumps)
These are the novels I've been following lately. Everything on this list suits my taste, has something distinctive about it, and is worth recommending in my opinion. They're only books that fit my personal preferences. If you like them too, I'll be delighted, but everyone has different tastes, so it's perfectly normal if you don't. I've been reading for ten years, and as a veteran bookworm, I'm always running out of things to read. Finding a good novel that suits my taste is no easy feat. Ratin
A Salute to Qidian’s 10% Survival Rate
Introduction: A list of books that were abandoned or ended badly, or are on their way to being abandoned or ending badly. A note first: I can only upload ten books a day, and more than 70% of books aren’t allowed to be added. Often, I’ll spend ages typing on my phone only to find that a book can’t be added to the list, and all that work goes to waste. I don’t know why. So I’ve made the descriptions formulaic. If I don’t know, can’t remember, or can’t be bothered to write something, I’ll leave it

Faraway Utopia
A book review or recommendation should have at least 100,000 words, right? If it's got 100,000 words and 1,000 followers, I'll check it out. A whole bunch of anime, fanfiction, and transmigration novels. I think they're pretty good. I update and swap them out from time to time. They're all ongoing books I've tried and found safe to read. Of course, everyone's tastes differ, so please bear with me. Anime novels on Qidian are a niche genre, and there aren't many. I've only posted the ones I think

My initial opinion: I feel the author wrote very well (without receiving payment). Having read many elf novels, I've noticed a common problem: the characters are often portrayed as purely black and white. The protagonist usually sides with either the good guys or the bad guys, leveling up by defeating monsters, occasionally switching sides and engaging in double-crosses.
It's okay to play defensively, but this is going too far. There's no sense of satisfaction at all. Add to that a clueless grandfather, a spoiled younger sister, and a fiancée, and the fact that staying in a mountain village makes you think you can turn Pokémon into legendary beasts? What about resources, battle experience, environmental adaptation, and moves?
Some personal thoughts
The protagonist of this "steady and cautious" style may secretly want to play it safe, but authors need plot conflicts and twists and turns in their novels—the so-called "no coincidence, no story"—which means the protagonist can't always play it safe. He'll inevitably be forced to reveal his true strength due to a small detail, a family member's request, or other circumstances.
A willful younger sister + an arranged marriage fiancée = double the poison
Why are Pokémon not very big? Legendary Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre, capable of destroying the world, are only 5 meters tall. I thought Groudon would be at least on par with Godzilla? Kyogre is only 9 meters tall, smaller than a blue whale... The Liekongzuo, at 10 meters, is equivalent to a anaconda. Even legendary Pokémon are like this, let alone other Pokémon.
No wonder they stopped writing. Luckily, I stopped to peek when I saw the engagement chapter. It's only been a few chapters and the clichéd engagement plot is already appearing, and in clusters at that. A teacher is introducing someone to him right after high school graduation? High school graduation, and it's an introduction by a teacher! 😰😰😰
It was supposed to be quite funny, but after the fiancée arrived, the main storyline mostly revolved around her, which made it less interesting. I don't like reading novels where the plot is driven by other characters; they're all the same and boring.
Aside from the protagonist forcibly finding a husband for his sister, the rest of the book was fine. After all, a sister should be allowed to find someone she likes herself, and since she had absolutely no feelings for him, the protagonist's attempt to groom her as a potential husband felt like overstepping his bounds. Aside from this flaw, the writing was quite good.
Am I the only one who thinks the protagonist's grandfather and sister are just characters the author used to drag him down? They serve absolutely no purpose, and the younger sister trait that I used to like is completely unappealing in this book.
Well, to be honest, it's not my favorite type. The male lead's personality is less about being cowardly and more like that of a mentally ill person. I like cowardly characters because they can solve problems in the early stages and completely crush opponents in the later stages. However, the male lead's cowardice makes me feel very frustrated.
