A Veteran Reader’s Mental Pantry
I started reading web novels in middle school. My first was A World of Mercenaries, which I read at Xinhua Bookstore, then I borrowed books at rental shops. I didn't start supporting authors by paying on Qidian until I had a job. I've been reading novels for over ten years now, so here's a simple list of books I like. Hopefully I'll find some fellow fans, too.

A Veteran Reader of Ten Years: Must-Reads to Beat a Reading Slump, Even If It Means Staying Up All Night
I've been reading for over a decade, and this list reflects my personal taste. I'm not into womanizing protagonists or harem novels. I prefer stories with sound values, and I read a bit of everything, both for men and women. I only recommend what I think is worth reading. I won't recommend the big-name books on the rankings. I'll stick to less popular ones, and I only recommend books good enough to keep me up at night reading.
Career Novels: A Reading Experience List
Mostly stories about professions. The writing or plot may have flaws, but they feature substantial technical knowledge and can broaden your horizons
No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No System, Just Smart Characters
These days, if a novel's protagonist hasn't been reborn, transmigrated to another world, or been given a System or a wise old mentor in their pocket, they can hardly look anyone in the eye. Stories with any of those three things can seem fresh and fun at first, but after a while they get tiresome. Just look at the titles of new releases: Reborn as XXX, Transmigrated as XXX, The XXX System. I mostly ignore books with those tropes. They're all pretty much the same, and it's hard to find a new twis

Let me make a post: Thinking about Xu Zhen's first day.
Thank you for spending time with Xu Zhen
Thank you Taozi for writing this book and creating so many heart-warming characters. I have been reading online articles for almost 20 years. This is the warmest story I have ever seen. It has a gentle background, soothing lines, and is never tense. I met Xu Zhen in August last year. At that time, I had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but because the side effects of the medicine were too strong, I stopped taking the medicine on my own. It was a very difficult period for me when I met Xu Zhen. The lovely Xu Zhen, the kind Xu Zhen, the persistent Xu Zhen, the materially indifferent Xu Zhen, the brave and loving Jiajia, the considerate Qiao Feng, the big brother-like Chen Zhenghao, the perseverant Cai Jianjian, the down-to-earth Song Yu, the lovely Xu Haoyu, and many old artists with both virtues and arts, all gave me a lot of positive energy, which is different from the energy given by "My Healing Game". Today I opened "The Poor Monk Doesn't Want to Be an Actor" as usual, and then encountered an unexpected and reasonable ending. Especially when I saw Ming Ran saying to Xu Zhen, "Shou Zhen, you are back," I burst into tears. I also want such a warm person to say such a thing to me, but my reality is only fragmented and gloomy. Unhappy parents cannot cultivate happy children. Although Xu Zhen was abandoned by his parents, he still has a daughter who never leaves. I have no expectations or hope for the future. I just feel like I am sinking into the deep sea of silence. Although he graduated from a double first-class university, he became more and more autistic and wanted to be a useless waste. The days of traveling with Xu Zhen are over. Maybe it's time for me to resume taking medicine. Bless Xu Zhen and myself, and wish everyone well.
After reading most of it overnight, I can finally conclude that it is basically my favorite entertainment novel I have read recently. There is no need to be slapped in the face, there is no need to face endless villains, there is no one-size-fits-all role in every crew, nor is the protagonist capable of acting, singing, variety shows, investing in studios, and there is no need to exchange interests throughout the story, and there is no need to face the messy harem and relatives issues... The tone of the whole story is very simple, with a little humor while relaxing. Others don't know it, but he is the type that attracts me.
Two days, from start to finish. There were countless tears in the process. This is truly the best showbiz novel I've read recently. Clean, gentle and delicate. I am really, really good. Apart from me, there are other actors and directors who are all very good people. Highly recommended!
This is an entertainment long story, primarily a TV movie. At first I thought it was unremarkable, with no system, no slap in the face, and no golden legs. It was just like the protagonist who has not yet grown up, handsome and cute, but slightly less attractive. But! ! ! The more I read, the more I read. Xu Xiaozhen is like the cub I watched grow up. From an ordinary and shy little bald boy, he slowly experienced all-round growth in appearance, mentality, ability, and charm, and turned into the extremely handsome Xu Dahuang. I don't know what kind of monster he will turn into in the future. I'm really looking forward to it. What's interesting is that the author is also growing up, and his writing style is becoming more and more sophisticated. When he makes people cry, he will cry to death, and when he laughs, he will laugh to death. Well, in short, it often feels good. The protagonist has very upright views and a warm personality. He is a lovable kid and is surrounded by a group of lovable supporting characters. Confession to the author, it is difficult to write one well, but it is even harder to write a group well. I have already confessed my feelings, Taozi, please write more. I want to know who won the battle between the iron-eating beast and Yang Jian? Come on, write, be happy, be silly when it's time to be silly, be funny when it's time to be funny, let the social death come more violently!

I thought about it and don't know what to say. I just think this is the best entertainment novel I have ever read. In fact, I have never read an entertainment novel since I was poisoned by a Korean entertainment novel a few years ago. I only started reading it again after I recommended a book earlier (I won't mention the title of the book. I am not here to recommend it. I can only say "in vain") Then I came across this book among the entertainment novels that were recommended by the software every day. I was attracted by the identity of the little monk based on the title of the book, and was retained by his purity. He likes acting, and he will only act with heart. He will even break with the company for a role he likes. He will not do this and do that even if he has not performed well. He knows his talent and will still go to school to study. Do what you should do when you should be at the age you should be. Unlike other novels, he is not like other novels, he always wants to open a company, a studio or something. As I said when he left the company in the article, he has laid the foundation of his acting and connections, and he can start a company, but he did not expect to kidnap the boss. Haha (ಡωಡ) The important thing is The book does not have long lyrics or data. And the most comfortable time to read this book is at this time. The other male protagonists have already gathered in the harem and have a lot of ambiguous partners. Some are disgusting. They are both fake and serious. There are still many things to praise, but the writing style is limited. The author will continue to follow the novel. Come on (ง •̀_•́)ง
Thoughts after viewing
This is the best entertainment novel I have read in the past two years. He has no system or plug-ins, only his talent and hard work. I watched him transform from a young monk to an excellent actor step by step. I have met many people on the way of growing up, some are friends and some are opponents. They are real and each has their own shining points. There are no intrigues in the novel, nor cliché upgrades and slaps in the face. It is a breath of fresh air in entertainment literature. It focuses on emotions, making people cry and laugh along with the plot and characters. When Hua Wuque and Xiao Yu'er said goodbye, it was so sad that it made people want to cry. The subsequent commercials made people want to laugh out loud, and they couldn't laugh or cry. The description of Zhou Lang's death later was even more touching. I read it three times and cried three times. This is a good article that can arouse readers' emotions anytime and anywhere. Its ending is very abrupt, making people feel disappointed, but it is always fixed at the most brilliant moment, which makes people feel that it is great when they think about it! I hope the author can write a long side story. I also want to watch A Zhen fight against the gods and watch him be as relaxed as a child in front of his master. I want to read all the stories behind him, but I can't see them... Thinking of this, I burst into tears.
Almost tied! ! When I saw Ah Zhen encountering a bottleneck when playing Yang Zirong, I asked Brother Song if he couldn't let go of his acting. Brother Song laughed wildly and said, "So you just know that you love to hold it." I burst into laughter, and then felt a little sad. The author actually didn't write much about Ah Zhen's childhood, but I was deeply impressed by every paragraph: when he chose the script of "The Lost Orphan", when he cried silently in the private room; when he wrote about how he was adopted repeatedly due to physical reasons when he was a child When people gave up, wanted to end their lives, and didn't understand why they were living; when they received the Magnolia Emperor, they handed in their answer sheets to their master and themselves at the award ceremony, and said the words "I came to this world to live wonderfully"; and when they were filming First Class Brothers, in order to bring Mr. Cai into the scene, he was talking about his childhood experiences as if he was a cloud in the past second, but in the next second he lost his energy and was tired of the world. In order to perform the role of Yang Zirong well, Xu Zhen constantly questioned himself and tried his best to perfect his performance. His acting skills have transformed, and this character has also been sublimated in the author's writing. He is still light, but he seems to have let go a lot, removing some invisible shackles. I was so happy watching it, and I don't know if my "reading comprehension" was correct, but that's what I thought! Don't let anyone scold me if I think wrong! Moreover, I have actually been thinking that his past has not been made public until now. Will he write about it in the future? In fact, I really want to see everyone in the article feel sorry for Ah Zhen! ! (Ha, because it makes me feel good) Hahahahaha. . Well, what I also want to mention is A Zhen's emotion after winning the award for "Lost Orphan" and "Reunion". If I remember correctly, it should be "May all the loss and loneliness in the world be reunited in the end." I really like this sentence. How can I put it, after reading the story about "The Lost Orphan" in the book, and then writing about the theater critic who went to watch the movie, she started booking tickets before the show was over, because she missed home, my head was buzzing, and tears started flowing down my face. As a student studying abroad, I have not been back to my country for more than two years due to the epidemic and visa issues. I didn't watch this year's Spring Festival Gala at all. I told myself that it was terrible anyway and there was no need to watch it. But I actually knew in my heart that I was just afraid to watch it, especially watching it alone, because when I think about the Spring Festival Gala, I think of my family, my mother's cooking, the new cat at home in China, and the easel my sister used to put next to the dining table in the living room. So I have been stressing myself out for the past two weeks of the New Year, and I haven't even clicked on my scarf. I watched the opening ceremony highlights of the Winter Olympics online, and my prestige was withdrawn after celebrating the New Year. I even hope that during this period, there will be an AI that can automatically handle all social matters for me, and I just need to be a completely disconnected person. It was in this state that I read the chapters of "Orphans" that were released and won awards. I have watched the movie "Orphans", and I have some impressions of it, so I felt sour during the writing chapters. But when the drama critic section came out, I felt stupid. I thought, she is homesick, she can book a train ticket, I am homesick too, but I can't go home. I suddenly felt very wronged and started to cry. When I turned to the next chapter, I cried even louder when I saw that sentiment. In the past two years, I have really lost a lot. People die like a lamp going out. Some people disappear in the blink of an eye. And I was too far away from home, unable to reach anything in time. Sickness, disaster, and misery are like mountains. I was thinking, can some things really be reunited? But I think this sentence is really well written. No matter what, it at least has a good meaning. I want to be reunited. In fact, I am really grateful for the plots of those chapters. I have been walking a tightrope these past few weeks, with good and bad times. I never expected that I would cry like a silly dog after watching a male video, which was unintentional. Instead, I vented my emotions and felt a lot better. I didn't know if I was crying stupidly until the end, but I actually felt like I had earned something. . . . Although the second half of this review is a bit embarrassing and hypocritical, I am a person with a strong desire to express myself (!! Actually, I just want to say that I am very grateful to the author. This article brought me many surprises, and even I was surprised by tears. It made me feel... The amazing Shouzhen/Xu Zhen/Xu Zhen, as well as many other vivid and lovely characters. I have read a lot of articles, but I can rarely remember the name of the protagonist. Although I can't guarantee it, I think I will remember this A Zhen, at least I will remember him for a long time.
