Entirely subjective. I only recommend books I think are worth checking out.
[The Old Ones’ Library] Single Heroine or No Heroine: Great Reads Recommended by a Veteran Reader
These are all books I have read myself, covering all kinds of genres. The ratings are low because I used time-limited reading passes on some books in the past, and financial constraints prevented me from finishing others. Even so, the free chapters were enough to show that they were good works. I simply want to recommend the books I enjoy and help more people discover these wonderful works. Some books that have already disappeared are recommended at the bottom of the list description. Please scr

This is definitely the most self-aware author I've ever met... I can write a long review after reading other books, complaining about all the problems in them, but this is the first time I've encountered an author who analyzes the problems so clearly without me having to complain about them.
You need to write about time travelers, otherwise there's no sense of immersion. Lord of Mysteries is a time traveler protagonist; now it's not, so there's no sense of immersion. Look at those top authors, how many of their books don't feature time travelers as the protagonist?
To new readers
I'm happy to see positive reviews; I also read negative reviews and carefully consider whether to adopt them. To be fair, I will not delete any negative reviews in the book review section unless they are malicious attacks on me, the book, or the characters.
Level 2 was justified; after reading 150 chapters, I simply couldn't keep going. The writing style is good, but the character logic and pacing are incredibly frustrating. The characters' motivations are horribly rigid. Strong motivations aren't always necessary to drive the plot, but the author forced a tired, outdated one for 150 chapters.
The world setting is very interesting: a parallel world of New York during the Second Industrial Revolution, where an indigenous witcher searching for his sister begins his adventure—very reminiscent of Tingen City at the beginning of Lord of Mysteries. This is my first ever recommendation vote for the author; keep it up!
The writing and character development in this book are quite good; the only problem lies in the author's main plot or storyline. I've seen many people complain that the protagonist isn't a transmigrator, but that's not the issue. I think the core problem is the lack of reader immersion.
It's no wonder this novel isn't popular; the writing is decent, but the plot is just too cliché. It's about saving a sister, and after over two hundred chapters, he still hasn't succeeded. Are you planning to write a grand finale? It feels a bit like the plot of *Battle Through the Heavens*, but your writing isn't even as good. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Actually, it would have been better to start with a time-travel story. Finding the younger sister was the original owner's obsession, which would have made it more relatable.
Author, don't listen to their nonsense, stick to your own style. Anyway, I think you write very well. However, my Alipay account is due, so I can only subscribe little by little. But you must persevere, it's really good, whether it's the plot, dialogue or setting. Keep it up 😊!
So far, the writing is first-rate, the creativity is second-rate, and the plot is third-rate. I had given up on the part where the character was captured by Labyrinth, completely baffled as to why such a plot point was included. However, after picking it up again a few days later and seeing the Labyrinth Island, the Mud, and the Star Map, I was still drawn in and looking forward to the rest of…
