A Bookworm's List, Tailored to My Taste: Fun Is What Matters
I read for entertainment, for fun, and to pass the time. So I think the most important thing is for a book to be interesting. It has to catch my attention and make me want to keep reading. Of course, if a book starts getting boring, I'll stop reading it (though I'll still save it to my collection. My hoarding habit is such a pain ヽ(‘⌒´メ)ノ). In short: interesting is what matters most! That's the most important thing in a book to me 😊.
Con Artists, Hammy Actors, Cthulhu, Masterminds Behind the Scenes, Secret Identity Addicts, and More...
These seem pretty good ⊙▽⊙! I can't guarantee they're free of poison, though. If I come across a part I can't stomach, emm... I just skip it!

Why is it that some people think the protagonist is just a pawn in a scheme orchestrated by a mastermind behind the spiritual energy revival? One theory is that the mastermind is actually someone with a system who needs to gain public belief in the revival to accumulate points to exchange for cultivation techniques and create a larger revival.
I hope you'll write less about China. Writing about China inevitably involves dealing with the government. If you fawn over the government, you'll be labeled a sycophant; if you don't, your writing will be taken down (404). You end up pleasing neither side.
To be fair, the author's choice of setting the scene in Japan was quite deliberate. Given the protagonist's actions, if this happened in China, he'd probably be heavily criticized and his site would be taken down.
The masterminds behind the spiritual revival have a consistent template: the highways built in China after the revival are dragon veins, and many memes from early years on Tieba have been used by them. For example, Christian churches are nails, and the military bases that Britain built around the world in the past were for the United States to absorb the dragon veins of various countries.
Not bad, I didn't feel any discomfort watching the protagonist commit murder. Is this one of the advantages of setting the scene in Japan?
I was pleasantly surprised to find an author who specializes in writing behind-the-scenes stories; I've already subscribed to support them.
Finally, a stable, non-patriotic behind-the-scenes story has been released!
The writing is good, but unfortunately it still falls into the cliché of "Chinese cultivation is the best in the world," becoming just a reskinned version of "Primordial Era."
Sigh, I was looking for a book, but I ended up finding another one by the same author. It's ridiculous. It feels like both of them were masterpieces in their early stages, but the later ones...
It's been three days since the last update. Have I gone to the palace to serve the Emperor?
