My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

Game of Life: Even with the Gods Here, I'll Still Beat Fate at Its Own Game ♟️
No game, no life. It's not the world itself that makes life complicated and hard to understand. It's the boring people who live in it. And you are the one exception I never saw coming, despite all my careful planning. Don't smile at me. No one cares. Don't cry in front of me. No one will be there for you. No one backs down when grudges and grievances come to blows. Fighting with swords and blades isn't cool at all. Some people follow the rules. Some people defy convention. Some turn ba

Shennong Tastes Every Herb: Book List No. 1
A list combining recommendations with warnings about books to avoid. Each list can hold 80 recommended books, and this one is full. Whenever I find a new book, I'll move one from List No. 1 to List No. 2 and add the latest details. I've personally tried every book here. I've also specifically marked books with highly divisive reputations, where the toxicity is strong but the praise is plentiful. There are books in every genre, mostly recommended according to my own tastes. I hope good books won'
A Friend's Reading List (Over Ten Years as a Veteran Reader, Quality Guaranteed)
This list only recommends books I've personally read and especially enjoyed. I've been reading for years and know how hard it is to find a good book, so I made this list to share my favorites with fellow readers. My tastes are pretty varied. I like well-developed power systems and unconventional storytelling. I'm not a fan of formulaic or mindless wish-fulfillment novels. I read fantasy, fan fiction, xuanhuan, and plenty of other genres. I especially enjoy summoning stories, farming stories, Pok
[Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds] Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)
Be a Different Kind of Firework: Exciting New Reads to Follow 🌾🌾🌾🌹
A bookworm for over ten years. Lately, there have been so many toxic novels. Every day, getting hit with poisonously dull fodder is driving me crazy. Every new novel seems to have the same bad habit: no matter how good or bad the writing is, the author just won't update much each day. So I'm trapped in an endless cycle of searching for new books. It's so frustrating. Always searching for something new. I'm desperate for recommendations. I usually check out the books you suggest, though I might n

Readers in a Slump, Come On In! Guaranteed to Find Something New
I don't recommend books near the top of the overall rankings. There's no need, since everyone can find those. If a book is already near the top, that means I added it to this list while it was still new. (I've got a good eye 😎)

My Personal Reading List (If You Have Bad Eyes, Don’t Click Randomly; Only Read If We Share Tastes)
🍀 I look for imagination and entertainment, but before either of those, I want a coherent world. 🍀 My list is short, and I don't always add books even after finishing them. 🍀 What I consider an immortal-grade read might be poison to you. 🌵 Read at your own discretion.

In summary, the current plot is as follows: the female lead is confirmed to be the Little Celestial Maiden, which displeases other fan groups; the Little Celestial Maiden is possessed by the villain, which displeases Little Celestial Maiden fans; the dragon-slaying school story has turned into a youth romance story, which displeases dragon-slaying fans; the apocalyptic arc spoils a tragic story…
Hey friends, this is Inuyama He, head of the Inuyama family of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. A friend just asked me, "What happened to you, Inuyama-sensei?" I said, "What happened?" He sent me a few screenshots, and when I looked, oh my god! It was Saten, and there were two young people, both around seventeen, a boy and a girl.
Some personal thoughts on Little Fairy (long post) (Personal opinion, please treat this viewpoint with caution)
I don't know what effect Brother Shui (the author) wanted to achieve, but highbrow art inevitably attracts few listeners. A tragedy of an insecure person burning themselves out to their end, or a grand funeral where a loved one's blood is sacrificed before a throne to pave the way… such a magnificent and splendid epic?

[A Battleground in the Fanfiction World (Long, High-Quality Story, Please Like)]
The weather was exceptionally clear, the azure sky seemingly lifting everyone's spirits. The coffee shop bustled with people, sunlight streaming through the glass and illuminating the girl's long, golden hair. She rested her chin on her hand, her delicate face fixed on her phone, a hint of impatience in her expression. "Why isn't my junior brother here yet?
Isn't this better written than Jiangnan? At least better than 5 😁😁😁
Those who nitpick the romance in this book don't understand at all. Most readers don't care that Su Xiaoqiang lacks bloodline; rather, they care that all the plot points involving her are weak and unconvincing. Her only existence, and the reason she can be the female lead, is because "Lin Nian likes her."
Alright, alright, about the argument in the book club...
Firstly, I've been a hands-off manager for a long time. I created the group and don't manage it anymore, as long-time readers know. So what happened, and why, I don't know, and I don't want to know. I won't take sides, because I simply don't want to know; it's too much trouble. Secondly, all posts about the book club have been deleted because they were upsetting to look at.
I just had to get this off my chest. While truly moving works don't necessarily require sacrifice, the resulting elevation or depth of a story through sacrifice can significantly impact its quality. It's understandable that readers don't want characters to sacrifice themselves, but trying to influence the author, making them hesitant to write freely, will directly lead to the work's collapse.
Almost at chapter 1000, the writing is superb, the characters are fully fleshed out, making it one of my favorite novels of the year. Unfortunately, the romance is a mess. Lin Nian's lover is used as a bargaining chip in the emperor's deal, which I feel is very restrictive.
