Drifting Duckweed in Troubled Times · 2026
Sometimes the protagonist's world isn't a happy place. There are no beautiful scenes, no fairytale stories or endings. Sometimes I want to give the author a huge tip just to change the plot. But the story always goes in the direction I dread. I value realism, so this list includes stories that aren't perfect. Stories about real worlds and things that could really happen. If you've read these, come by and double-tap that like button!

Multiple heroines. They may not all be masterpieces, but at least they have something going for them. The ones rated seven stars are generally worth recommending.

Rescuing the Eyes of a Failed Author
Digging out gems among new books and giving them a boost so they can be as satisfying as possible. Books usually stay on this list for at least a month. To make the cut, they need decent writing, sound logic, and a title that isn't too awkward. A month of exposure is enough to help readers who are starved for something to read find and choose books. It also gives fresh authors a little boost. Winning readers over is up to the work itself. Thanks to the authors and readers who follow me. Here's s
After More Than Ten Years of Reading, Here Are My Recommendations for Truly Great, Overlooked Books
I've been reading for over ten years and have carefully read thousands of novels. I only recommend high-quality books that have been overlooked. I've read every book I recommend carefully and genuinely think it's good. I can't stand formulaic, amateurish writing, clumsy prose, pretentious literary styles, or stories that torture the protagonist. None of that for me. Every book on this list is a clean read that suits my taste. Hope you enjoy them~ Maybe you'll find like-minded readers too~ Haha.

Only Recommending Books I've Read and Plan to Keep Following and Subscribing To
I've been an avid reader for over a decade, and my tastes are all over the place. Here's a batch of high-quality books I've read, as my way of giving back and helping everyone get through a reading slump. Following books as they update can be emotionally exhausting, so there aren't many new ones here.

Historical and Urban Novels I Could Stick With
I've been a bookworm for 14 years. I like history and all kinds of urban fiction. I'm getting older, so I don't read fantasy or stories that are too far-fetched. My brain can't keep up! (A lot of readers hate single-heroine stories, multiple heroines, and scumbag harem protagonists, but I'm fine with them. When you read web novels, isn't the point to have a good time and enjoy the rush? My mindset is good, after all. I read to relax outside of work, and because of my personality, I can stick wit

Haha, I knew I would come back in the end. You have a wife and children, do you think life outside is easy? Dai is pretending to be a literary youth in the comfort zone of Internet literature, but in fact you don't have the capital at all. The last book also said we would never meet again. Tsk tsk, the slap in the face came so quickly. I thought you could last at least a year.
Many people say that the protagonist is a scumbag, but in fact he is indeed a scumbag. But what is different from ordinary novice entertainment novels is that Gengda, who is a little bit literary, clearly writes the reasons why the protagonist is a scumbag. The protagonist in the previous life was a patient with ALS who had been lying in bed for many years. He could not do anything. The only thing he could do was to wait for death. So he is extremely possessive and eager for women's bodies, and he will not refuse beautiful women. Another point that is different from ordinary entertainment articles is that I think the description of women in the entertainment industry is quite objective. In order to get the upper hand, sleeping with someone is not sleeping with anyone. To paraphrase Deng Chao's words: This is a group of young people who work hard. After all, if you don't work hard, there are many people who are willing to "work hard". As long as you are popular, you will be the "goddess" in the eyes of the public. As for what it looks like in private, who cares? Another difference from general entertainment literature is that the author does not sell his works to this one and that one like selling cabbage. Each of his works has played its due role and received the benefits it deserves. If others want my works, they can exchange them for something, either profits or people. This is a novel for adults. You will know that in the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons. If you want to gain, you must first pay. As long as you get enough, there is nothing unacceptable.
After two reincarnations, I was still so uneasy when I met a girl, so I was convinced. A pure girl, no matter how beautiful she is, can only make people feel happy. Li Jiaxin is so beautiful, but she has never seen those male celebrities lose their composure in public. It just feels so low and I can't stand it anymore. To be honest, I might as well live a perfect life. Although I feel boring after the perfect life. In addition, why does the opening have to be related to the Three Kingdoms? Can there be any new ideas if this is really related? For example, if you use songs from the anime version of Three Kingdoms as interludes, at least make some changes. In order to prevent being sprayed, I posted the fan rating of Perfect Life.
I gave up on VIP. To be honest, I was very surprised after reading dozens of chapters at the beginning. Whether it is the storyline or character creation, I can see the full skill of the author. Later, I took down Aunt An, then Liu Mi, and finally Jiang Qianqian, then Qi Yuan, and then Sun Xiaoyan. The frequent physical entanglements with women actually didn't make me feel happy as a reader, because this is not a pornographic novel, and you can't write the big scale I want to see, so why do you keep worrying about what to write about in bed? Moreover, seeing the protagonist extending his evil claws to one cute girl after another, he became inexplicably more and more angry. Wu Bing, Zhou Shunqing, one after another ignorant girls were harmed by him, and they could not accept it emotionally. If you like two people at the same time, you might say that person is passionate, but if you like ten or eight people at the same time, you can only call him a scumbag. From another perspective, if one of the female protagonists finds another partner because the male protagonist does not have enough companionship, the protagonist will definitely not be able to let go, right? If you can't share your woman with anyone else, how can other women share you with many other women? In addition, the plot is also written unreasonably. One song "Dream Chaser" became so popular that everyone kneeled down and licked it. Luo Dayou wrote so many songs and he was not so popular, right? What's more, Dream Chaser is not Luo Dayou's masterpiece. In the blink of an eye, two or three songs become popular and the annual income is over 100 million. It's incredible. Exaggerated. It's a pity, it's like eating a plate of delicious sweet and sour fish and finding out halfway through that you don't have enough intestines in your stomach, so you gave up the book. Fortunately, I didn't recommend this book to my book friends, otherwise it would really lower my taste.
The writing is okay, but in Chapter 164. One person rushed directly to the podium and asked him to compose lyrics and music on the spot. This was unreasonable and difficult. Then the protagonist should not agree to make things difficult, even if he is capable, but the protagonist agrees. In my opinion, this is not pretentious, but a sign of cowardice and waste. It's like a robber blocking you at the door and asking you to hand it over. It's the same as 100,000 yuan. You tell the robber that not only do I have to pay 100,000 yuan, but I also have to pay you an additional 1 million yuan because I want to show off.
Nai Qi Nai is holding your book, be careful.
This opening is really good. Usually when we watch time travel and rebirth, everyone has a task at the beginning, explaining who the protagonist is, how he wears it, what he was before wearing it, and what he is after wearing it. When most people write, they just explain the setting and it is difficult to get into the characters. A better thing is to add a long paragraph of psychological description. If the text itself is really good, then this paragraph is good. But it is indeed rare to see an author handle it this way. In fact, it should be handled this way. After time travel, a person will have to respond to the mutated environment, and he will eventually accept this change. So the question is, through what? Walking, feeling the body, brushing teeth, washing face, and sorting clothes are the most daily actions. However, isn't it through these daily actions that people "prepare themselves"? In fact, this is also a common technique. We see in many classic stories that when the protagonist has experienced a major setback or is preparing to make a major decision, he will perform similar actions such as combing his hair, looking at himself in the mirror, or putting on decent clothes. The significance is to release a "preparing" signal and make the "ready" result more convincing. The author's arrangements for brushing his teeth are particularly good. First, there is perception, the body has sensation, then we see, see the environment and books, and we have a specific guess about the person's identity, and then there are actions that symbolize the characteristics of the character. As a hungover student, it is natural to wash up now that he wakes up. Finally, in the process of behavior, the emotion finally slowly surges up, reaches a certain intensity, and solidifies into a solid state of mind, oh, I have traveled through time, and I want to live well. The whole arrangement is very appropriate. This is rare.
No, let's not say that this author is at least 40 years old.
The aesthetic of this author's song really makes people vomit. The time anchor of this novel is 2016. It turns out that they are all old songs from the 80s and 90s, and they are all huge hits. It really makes people laugh. Good old songs are indeed classics, but they cannot become popular without the background of the times. Modern songs The arrangements and compositions are all remixes. The simple 3-section melody of the past is simply inaudible. What's more, the main consumer group of music is young people. Do you see any middle-aged people buying albums online every day and unable to let go of the past authors who were famous in the past? I am over 30 years old, but I am very accepting of new things.
The most disgusting pseudo-literary among literary youth writers. It can be said that his spine was broken by life. It is not easy.
I feel a bit like appendix, please comment if you agree.
