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 thoughtful author I have ever seen... I could write a long book review after reading other books, complaining about various problems in the book. This is the first time I have met an author who clearly analyzes the problems without me complaining about them.
Why don't you write about time travellers, otherwise you won't have a sense of immersion? The Lord of Mysteries is all about time travelers as protagonists, but now you are not a time traveler, so you won't have a sense of immersion. Look at those great books, there are many books where time travelers are not the protagonists.
For new readers
I will be very happy when someone writes a good review; when someone writes a negative review, I will also read it and seriously consider whether to adopt it. For the sake of fairness, I will not delete any "negative reviews" in the book review section unless they are malicious attacks on me, the book, or the characters. However, for all the passing book friends who read negative reviews, I would like to say that this book was written seriously by me and has been loved by some people, so it is by no means as bad as some reviews say. Some book friends have a "formulated" requirement for stories. Once the story or characters do not follow the preset pattern in their minds, they lose patience and write negative reviews to vent, blocking future potential readers. The content of negative reviews is nothing more than: the protagonist is not a time traveler, there are too many female characters, the protagonist's level-up challenge is unreasonable, the protagonist's early stage is not enough to defy the sky... Etc. Putting aside whether their judgment is reasonable (which is often open to discussion), this behavior is very similar to the defenders of the "eight-part essay" who use their words and deeds to "rigidize" the possibility of novels. However, I won't talk too much about right and wrong here. What I want to say is that there will not be anything in this world that will satisfy everyone. Books have their own style, some people like them and some don't, it's that simple. Therefore, when book friends see negative reviews, it's not that this book has too many negative reviews, but that I just won't delete it. So please don't blindly believe in good or bad reviews and judge based on your preconceptions. If you like this kind of subject matter, you can try reading it. If you don't like it and the instructions don't suit your taste, we have no luck for the time being, and we hope you can find a book you like. If you like it, you can have a good and exciting experience, right? However, I have to reiterate in the end that any negative reviews that maliciously attack the book, the characters, and myself will be deleted. Happy reading!
There is a reason for lv2. After reading chapter 150, I really can't hold on anymore. The writing is good, but the character logic and plot rhythm are too uncomfortable. The character motivations are horribly rigid. In fact, it is not necessary to have a strong motive to drive the plot, but the author used an old-fashioned strong motive to forcefully push the plot for 150 chapters. Along with the bugs in the character's logic, there is no such thing as a museum manager for ordinary people doing such a cruel job as burning their retinas. I lost my patience with this book. The ability setting and level setting are very good, which is what attracted me to continue reading 150 chapters. However, the plot rhythm and character logic problems have reached the point where it affects reading. I thought the author had improved after the beginning, but it turns out that it is a periodic seizure, which can poison you from time to time. I hope the author's next book will be better.
The world setting is very interesting. In the parallel world of New York, the United States during the Second Industrial Revolution, an indigenous demon hunter looking for his sister embarks on an adventure, which is very similar to the city of Tingen at the beginning of Lord of Mysteries. The first recommendation vote in my life is given to the author, come on.
The writing and character creation of this book are very good. The only problem lies in the author's main line setting or plot. I have seen many people complaining that this book does not have a time traveler protagonist, but that is not the problem. I think the core problem is that this book lacks a sense of empathy. The author clearly tells her at the beginning that this book is about looking for her sister, and then uses this as a clue to advance the plot. Writing like this can be said to have discouraged many readers, and I couldn't hold on anymore after the public chapter. First of all, in reality many people do not have brothers or sisters, so it is difficult to generate empathy and attract readers to pursue books. Secondly, unless there is a certain chapter of foreshadowing, I think it is very poisonous to use family affection as a plot driver in online articles. Because the readers don't even understand the protagonist, the protagonist will get into a lot of shit because the readers don't recognize family affection, and will be forced to do this and that, giving readers a purely negative reading experience. In contrast, the author can refer to how the best friends slowly shape family friendship in the beginning and use this to advance the plot. Although this is a slow start, this is not a cool article for you to write. Based on personal opinions, I propose two better ways to optimize the plot: 1. Use the sister as an introduction to the extraordinary world, rescue her within 30 chapters, and then struggle in the extraordinary world. 2. In the beginning, I was given amnesia by a cult because I was looking for my sister, and then I slowly learned my identity and purpose. This is much more immersive than the pale main story of looking for my sister.
It's right that this novel is not popular. After all, the writing is good, but the plot is too cliche. Why don't you just save a sister? I wrote more than two hundred chapters but couldn't save it. Do you want to write it to the finale? It feels a bit like the plot of Dou Po, but your writing is not as good as others, otherwise you wouldn't be so miserable.
In fact, it would be better to make it a time travel at the beginning. Finding the sister is the obsession of the original owner, so it will be more immersive.
Authors don't need to listen to their nonsense, stick to yourself. Anyway, I feel that your writing is very good, but my Huabei has expired, so I can only order a little bit, but you must persevere, it is really good, whether it is the plot, dialogue or setting, come on 😊!
Looking at it so far, first-rate writing, second-rate creativity, and third-rate plot. Originally I gave up on the part where I was caught by Rabbi Lins, and I had no idea why such a plot was included. However, after picking it up a few days later and seeing the labyrinth island, mud, and star map, it still attracted me and looked forward to the next story. Of course, I hope the author will work hard, not be confused by the comments, and stick to his own outline, so that the story will be complete.
