Daily Reading List
Sharing is more fun than enjoying things alone, so here's a list. Stories with a little something special that I follow every day. The main recommendation is Returning to the Source. I've been a reader since the Cmfu days. If I don't keep up with a book, I won't recommend it. I like trimming things down, but I'm also open to adding more. Since 2019, I've picked the best of the best. At most, I've read 45 monthly-vote novels in a month, but these are the only ones I've kept up with or finished.

🎶Books I've Actually Read Before Adding Them Here🎶
Books I can generally get through. I only add books I’ve actually read. I don’t want to feel like the book is insulting my intelligence. I prefer lighthearted stories, games, urban fiction, ghosts, and novels about anime, manga, and entertainment. I’m done with stories that are nothing but fighting, leveling up, and repeating the same cycle forever. Pet-beast battles are fine, though. But don’t blame me if a book goes on hiatus or has a terrible ending. Take it up with the author. I’ll send a kn

Hong Jun's Reading List
They say reading has three stages: First: following the story and chasing the plot. Pretty childish. Second: appreciating other people’s stories, savoring their lives, and reflecting on the author’s philosophy. Third: looking back on your own life, understanding yourself, and reflecting in solitude. ............................................... A veteran web-novel reader who got hooked in 2002. No amateurish wish-fulfillment stories or diary-like play-by-plays. I need something with a bit more

The comments on the protagonist's choice of the Black Blade are polarized, with both sides having valid points. However, those defending the choice overlooked a crucial element: the author's prior foreshadowing—the world's environment! The author spent over 170 chapters depicting a world where humanity is teetering on the brink of destruction, hunted by evil beings.
Well, the premise is really fun, and the world-building is exquisite. It feels like a space opera about human civilization facing various threats, and the author clearly put a lot of effort into designing these elements. What kept me reading was mainly the world-building the author created.
The story spent a lot of time building up the illusionary world in the early episodes, only to abandon the plan and use a spatial black blade—something the protagonist completely dislikes, is bad at, shouldn't have, has low potential, and has only one function—when fighting monsters, simply because he couldn't bear to see others sacrifice themselves. Then he immediately lunged forward with fervor.
Watched it in several sleepless nights The book's premise is good, author, keep it up! I have two minor suggestions: 1: The book is not divided into volumes, and there are no distinct sections or transitions. The pacing feels rather chaotic. 2: The pandemic serves as a starting point for the book's premise, but it shouldn't be relied upon too heavily. The latest part's descriptions of evil entities, where the "unknowable and invincible" style has declined, feels somewhat like a head-on clash.
It was great, I watched it all day. Seeing the update, although there were some minor flaws at the beginning, it got better and better later on. The setting is also good, the world background is quite realistic.
When I saw Rosalie confess her feelings and the male lead rejected her, I thought it was garbage and I dropped the book. Either don't write any romance, or choose a female lead. This whole "tortured romance" thing is disgusting.
If you see a bad book, you have to criticize it and then leave. Otherwise, the author will never improve, and there will be more and more bad books on Qidian.
This book is worthy of being called a masterpiece, so why are so few people reading it? As a seasoned bookworm, I've read more than half of it and haven't found any flaws. I highly recommend it.
It's a good book, but too tiring to read. The plot is rather complicated, and I just couldn't keep going. Also, I can accept that the protagonist is involved in a conspiracy, but it's hard to empathize with him being put on the opposite side of a character with top-tier combat power right from the start.
Why do people always say the protagonist is a saint? Is it wrong to be patriotic? It's so strange.
