Thirty Years of Reading
1. I've been reading for a long time and have pretty discerning tastes. 2. To me, a good book has fluent prose (the bare minimum), a rich vocabulary, a style that fits its world (no jarring genre mashups), consistent logic, and well-rounded characters, without pointless filler. Once it meets these basic requirements, telling a good story makes it a great book. 3. I'm an avid reader who likes to let books build up before reading, so I don't recommend short books. 4. Ratings are based on personal

Books I like
🎶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
♥ Mainly Showbiz, Anime, and Urban Fiction (*¯︶¯*) ♥
Collecting books I like O(∩_∩)O, mainly entertainment and anime-related works. The protagonist may be a director, singer, actor, editor, musician, manga artist, writer... There will also be some modern-city, xuanhuan cultivation, and anime-related works that I particularly enjoy. Most are male-oriented fiction, basically all of them. I personally like books with plot and logic, and I prefer a single female lead or no romance, with pure leveling up (˃^ω^˂).

Read Great Japanese-Style Light Novels on Qidian
I've been reading traditional novels set in China for years, so it's time for a change of pace! The protagonists were born in Japan. One is a young kendo student who trains hard and dominates the tournament, striking out his opponents. Another is a manga-loving boy who gets his start by plagiarizing manga, works diligently at his craft, and eventually becomes a manga giant. Yet another is an ordinary young man who encounters an anime heroine and writes a satisfying ending to a story he was once

I've been reading for over a decade. Here are some I personally think are good.
Excellent Urban Xianxia Fantasy with Great Writing and Plot
Mainly xianxia, fantasy, and urban fiction, with some light novels as well. The focus is on fantasy and urban stories, with a preference for dark and serious themes. There won't be many silly comedies. At the very least, the prose should flow smoothly and be easy to read.

Even if you always look weak, you still have occasional moments of stubbornness~
Very good
Everyone said that the writing was watery, and I thought it was watery when I read it, but the writing style is really good. I didn't feel it when I was reading it. It was only after reading that I felt there was water. I couldn't find the water anywhere 😆. I felt that it was all dry stuff 😰. The method of irrigation has been completed
Lovely Sadako
Very good setting, very interesting subject matter. In fact, I have never wanted to write a review, but seeing that this is Tokyo brought back memories of more than 10 years ago. There is a clock named Hope on the platform square on the way to Higashiojiu from Tabata North Exit. I pass by it every day when I am in Tokyo. However, I have never noticed that it has a name. Until late at night on the second day of the lunar calendar that year, a group of self-financed international students who had finally gathered together to celebrate the New Year gathered under the bell tower and looked at a big brother who was studying in college, crying like a child. In order to avoid the pain in my nose, I looked up at the sky and immediately saw the word hope that made people feel mixed emotions.
Emotional description is very problematic
After reading nearly half of the book, I really can't stand it anymore and want to complain about the relationship between men and women in this book. It is really a typical male harem novel. The women in it are either fools, generous, gentle and silently waiting, or they look like little white flowers but always do green tea things. To be honest, I don't hate harem novels. I read two of the author's later books before reading this early book, so I don't dislike the author either. But your writing must be logical, right? You can't pretend to be one persona and do that persona thing, right?! I see the women in the book being rude, duplicitous, and spreading rumors everywhere. Except for the heroine, I can hardly see any normal people. Is it because I have a wrong outlook on life, or are women under male fantasy so scary? There is also a clamor in the comments that there are many such characters in Japanese light novels and comics, why can't they be included in this book? Let me tell you, that's because your character design is unreasonable, because there are too many inconsistencies, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable. They have tsundere and daredevil characters, but they have made up for their reasonableness. For example, the heroine's two best friends imagined that the hero deliberately bullied the heroine because the hero sat next to the heroine in the painting room, taught her to draw, and drew a sketch of the heroine (I feel like I can't go on talking about it). Then when they met the hero, they said you are not allowed to bully her. The problem is that if they don't understand the cause and effect, this is quite reasonable. After knowing the whole process, they can still say that the hero who met for the first time bullied the heroine. Is she suffering from paranoia? Also, if you don't know whether the male protagonist has a crush on the female protagonist, would you be polite to ask the male protagonist if he wants to be with the female protagonist in person? Knowing that the hero's sister is mentally retarded, she even joked with the hero's sister that the heroine is her brother's girlfriend (the relationship has not been confirmed at that time), saying that there is no pure friendship between boys and girls. After the hero and heroine confirmed their relationship, they went in and out of the hero's house without any grudges (not saying it's impossible, but is it reasonable to hesitate at all? Even asking the heroine for her opinion out of politeness?) There is also a female voice actor promoted by the hero, this The character was really the biggest failure. In the early stage, I thought a person who resisted unwritten rules and persisted in her dreams was quite good. Even when her sister met the male lead and asked if she could marry my sister, I thought it was quite cute. However, this person told the male lead that her sister was talking nonsense and would be disciplined. Later, her sister still said to everyone that the male lead was her sister's boyfriend (including when her sister already knew that the male lead had a girlfriend). Where was the discipline? Also, when she was pestered by a male voice actor in the same group, the first thing she thought of was calling the male protagonist. Oh my god, it would be reasonable if you were a loner. But although this girl's father died, she inherited her father's sukiyaki shop. There is an old employee in the shop. Are there people who have been abandoned by the whole world? Are there any female elders in the family? Do you have any female friends? The store owner was pestered and the clerk died? The other party is not the boss, but a small employee wants to ask the male protagonist, the decision-maker, to come out and settle matters? (The male protagonist had a girlfriend but went to settle it himself 😅). Afterwards, the scandal spread, and others misunderstood and ridiculed her. She didn't explain but just blushed and laughed. The problem is that if you were originally a person who could take advantage of people, you wouldn't hate her, but you are a little white flower! Where is the perseverant little white flower? After she became famous, she was invited to dub the male lead, and she told others that because she had agreed to the male lead, she would only dub the male lead in animations in the future (she also made this agreement herself, no one asked her). No, in the early stage, you were standing in the snow holding a sign in the snow to ask for job opportunities for your dream! If you drop this dream, you can't pick it up, right? Dreams just fall to the ground like snow?! Is dubbing now a means of binding the male protagonist? There are many unreasonable settings like this, such as the girl from the same studio who used her mobile phone to take pictures of his unfinished entries without the male protagonist's consent, the female dubbing girl who wanted to talk to a competitor she had not known for a few days before her role was officially announced, the female editor who could obviously work with male editors and was respected by them, but wanted to give in when the male protagonist stood up for her to confront the rival editor. I'm so angry. The author's later books were good, but I can't accept such a setting. I suggest you read those books! My blood pressure went up after reading this book 😡
God-like protagonist! All-around, comics, oil painting, cartoon character sketching, singing, animation, editing, sculpture, calligraphy, Tang Shou, cooking... There is nothing that the protagonist cannot do. Abandoned.
The author makes a suggestion about the comics drawn by the protagonist. Don't insist on making those incomprehensible comics. The Midnight Ring is good, but I have never heard of the lawyer comic I started drawing in the second one. The unnatural death in the following is also completely non-immersive. The system has come out anyway, so why can't we make some comics that are as popular as in reality? Drawing is not drawing. Even if you want to embody the feeling of reading comics and listening to music, you can make an animation AB or LL to adapt the comics, and then animate the novel. The workplace cartoons drawn by the protagonist now may have something to show in the future. I have never heard of those things. No matter how popular your description is, it will not be brought into the world at all. It is like seeing someone in the news buying a lottery and winning 5 million, which means "Oh, this person is so lucky", but it is not the excitement that will be brought into the future like "Oh! I won 5 million". I hope you will consider switching to some manga that is also famous in real life. If you say you don't want to draw Naruto and Pirates, it's totally fine. Then, Conan, Versatile, Kuroko Basketball, Gintama, etc. Will be fine, right?
I did feel good about this book when I first read it. I didn't write many graphic novels at the beginning, and my skills were pretty good. I think having a sister is a bit toxic, but this is a trivial matter. As long as the author's thinking is clear and the sister in Orthopedic's novel is not unruly and willful and deliberately causes trouble, then it will be fine. But I really couldn't stand it later. Maybe the author found that the protagonist's comic strips were not enough to expand, so he started to let the protagonist move here and there to expand his skill line. In an instant, I felt that a fairly good daily heart-warming novel had turned into the protagonist Long Aotian. If it weren't for the author's writing style, this book would have immediately turned into an urban white text that can be seen everywhere.
I'm halfway through it now, and it's gradually becoming dull The early quality is very good, and it's very comfortable to read, such as the warm interaction with my sister, the greetings between neighbors, the creation of impressions of Tokyo, the process of Tokyo, and the immersive descriptions of Sadako's comics, readers' reactions, etc. Take Suzuka and Chihaya as examples. It can be seen that the author has set up the characters well. If you dig a little deeper, you will find a good plot about family, growth and so on. But in the end, the author's writing was very bland, with minimal character changes and conflicts passing by. The article is copied every day. The most annoying thing is that the copy is not written well. After The Lonely Gourmet was written once, there was almost no description of Sadako's immersive perspective. Not only was Heshitei written once but there was no follow-up, the entire Lonely Gourmet was reduced to a background, and this line was almost completely abandoned. After Sadako ended, the comic line "The Winner Is Justice" was also written extremely blandly. Because when I wrote Sadako before, I directly raised the protagonist to the level of a pillar, resulting in almost no promotion. In addition, the author's characterization and description are far from the quality of Sadako's time, which gave me a very poor reading experience. I think that after copying Sadako's works that have spread overseas, the next book you choose should either be of the same subject, or the influence should not be lower than that of Sadako, or at least the same level. As a result, the author chose a lawyer theme. Not only did the theme change, but the real impact was also incomparable. This is a question of plot design ideas. Readers want to see the protagonist playing with the Neon Man in a cartoon drawn by Goldfinger. This is true for both Sadako and Gourmet, but the winner is justice. They did not do it, or they did not do it well enough. It is not impossible to write text, but the author first made the industry in the book a fictional one, and then another comic directly changed the protagonist from an amateur to a pillar. In this case, if the protagonist wants to continue to "upgrade", he can only compete with top writers from different comic companies. However, because it is an imaginary setting, readers cannot find the familiar works in the previous life, nor can they find the familiar industry. How powerful those mainstay writers are, it all depends on the author's penmanship. If the portrayal is not good, it will be one small boss after another with facial makeup, which is meaningless. For example, if you let the protagonist's comics compete with Sea of Death, Detective, Saint Seiya, or the author of Dragon Ball, it's no better than making up a pillar cartoonist yourself and letting the protagonist defeat him. The characters that were not portrayed in advance were almost catastrophically (nothing) developed in the subsequent plot. The quality gap before and after it is put on the shelves is really too big. The key is to pay back the water. This is not to criticize, but the starting point every time is nothing new: the villain/passers-by are not optimistic, and set a flag - the protagonist is either modest or calm and confident - friends and editors are worried but support it - comics/awards are revealed, editors sigh, readers are surprised, friends are happy, villains are helpless, and the protagonist is indifferent - plus some sales data and voting. Basically, it is this same set of cycles, and there are also some situations that can be clearly explained in two sentences, or that can cause emotional ups and downs, but the need to add some Cheluolian words makes the plot extremely boring. Forget it, it was a book written three or four years ago, and there is no point in talking about it. I just feel that I am unhappy after reading this book for so long.
