A Cure for Reading Slumps
Just to be clear, this list is for niche books. Niche, niche, niche. Since they're niche, if you're looking for formulaic stories, try the lists next door. There's no accounting for taste, and you can't please everyone. If you don't like something, please be kind! Really, really good. Updated irregularly. This list includes plenty of niche books, especially ones with wild ideas! If you'd like to recommend a book, feel free to message me. I'll check it out when I have time.

I just started reading it, and I want to ask, How many chapters does it take for the protagonist to realize that the person on the other side of the phone is his daughter, not a word game? When I think about the protagonist just treating this as a game, and the daughter on the other side puts his life in danger to let the protagonist try and make mistakes, especially Especially when you first meet the giant, the protagonist just acts like a game NPC, directing his daughter to go up and pick up the task, and here the daughter just risks her own life to try and make mistakes... Holy shit, it was successful this time, but what about next time? So I want to ask, when will the protagonist realize that the opponent is not a game, but a human life, or his own daughter,
If society has never shown kindness to you, will you be gentle to society? It is normal for people not to like people from Chengmen, because we are social beings, we have integrated into society, and we identify with our own identity. If we leave society, we will be very uncomfortable. When we encounter trouble, we will seek help from society as soon as possible. Society is our home. For the people of Chengmen, society has abandoned them. They themselves are a group of people who cannot integrate into society. They are hostile to the normal society that has abandoned them. Because of people's group habits and the initiative of their eldest father, they formed a "new" society, Chengmen, which is their "home". It can be said that Chengmen is a "small society" that relies on normal society but is independent of normal society. People in this society have a different outlook on life, moral values and values from normal people. So for us who live in a normal society, their behavior and their outlook make us uncomfortable. They are garbage, criminals and evil people. But what if society hadn't abandoned them, if society could be more tolerant and gentler, would they still betray them and become villains? This kind of rhetorical question is not to whitewash them, but to think about whether it is reasonable for society to treat people who have made mistakes (criminals who have reformed and been released after serving their sentences), or "people who are born with their own mistakes" (orphans, born with disabilities, born with mental illness). Once a mistake is always wrong, it should not become the social consensus. After all, we cannot guarantee that we will never make mistakes. Forgiving others is also forgiving ourselves.
I saw in the comments that a reader mentioned that "the writing has a cinematic feel". After reading about 100,000 words, I felt more and more like this. The writing method of "Doomsday Letter" is different from the single timeline description of most online novels. Instead, it divides multiple narrative clues in time and space, just like the "lens transition" in a movie, allowing readers' thoughts to roam in the huge world view with the "lens". The advantages of this writing method combined with the fluency of the author's language make the description extremely tense, the plot compact and diverse, and will not be boring at all, constantly giving readers a fresh sense of excitement. The advancement of multiple clues seems to be weaving a complex web, and the readers' expectations and curiosity are directly raised to the highest level. If traditional web writing is a mountain climbing process, "Doomsday Letter" is like solving a maze. You do have some clues and vague premonitions, but you don't know where the end point will be. It has a lot of advantages and complex tension, but its shortcomings are also obvious: this is a novel that needs to be read calmly and carefully. There are too many scenes, overlapping mysteries, new characters constantly appearing, etc., Which all test the reader's understanding and attention. If you are distracted and skip the plot in the previous article, it will be difficult to read the following articles one after another, and you will have to go back to the previous plot to review, not to mention the many inadvertent foreshadowings hidden in the article. The setting of different "worlds" in the article is also quite antagonistic. On one side is the plain old world with a sense of nostalgia. The world of young Yuan An is like every high school student, full of random happiness among friends and games. On the other side is the dark and dangerous apocalyptic world. In the process of survival, Xiao Nian gradually gains new companions and jointly searches for home and the truth in the apocalypse. The two worlds are connected by mysterious text messages. The warm yellow of the past blends with the gray and black of the doomsday, bringing many crises to the world of young Yuan An and fresh hope to Xiaonian's life. In my humble opinion, writing a multi-threaded novel contains many necessary elements. You need to grasp the rhythm of advancing the plot and weaving the web, you need to ensure the distinctive characteristics of the characters, and the writing style needs to be smooth and not awkward... But the most important point is to "create new things in balance". Just like people's favorite tightrope walking show, they not only want to see the performer's steady skills, but also look forward to seeing the thrilling moment when the performer suddenly stumbles. Under this standard, the author Wei Lan has indeed done a good job. The description of the two worlds is balanced and stable, the performance of each scene and character is very real and natural, and the proportion of new clues and puzzles is exactly the same. He can really tell a story well, and slowly introduces new factors such as giants and mutations without being abrupt, mixing the glib tongue of a young man with the simple enthusiasm of Trump's dialogue. Finally, writing is not easy. I hope the author can maintain the quality and update steadily, and help us discover the truth of all this. We look forward to where the characters will go in the end. {"TopicId":"571348880201940992","TopicName":""}{"TopicId":"5759111705 07276288","TopicName":"New book recommendations"}{"TopicId":"575911170507276288","TopicName":"New book recommendations"}
After reading about ten chapters, in my eyes this novel is already ranked among the top online articles I have read. Tell me your personal opinion. ,,,,,,, When his father from the past finally learns the truth, what plans will he make in the years to come? This makes people think a lot. In fact, if you add the diary, it can be said that there are three periods of time, but the diary is used to introduce the background. Using a diary to introduce the background is a good way to give a sense of immersion and not be too obtrusive. does not know the author is inspired by the "Interstellar Crossing". But a very good point in the novel is that the rescue is not deliberate, but unknown and accidental. This treatment is perfect and fits the identity of the character. The game session (the protagonist treats the conversation with his daughter as a game) has the feel of some conversation games (such as the Lifeline series), which gave me an idea that it would be very good if the conversation with my daughter was turned into a game. ,,,, The character creation is very good, no need to say much. Finally, let me talk about the writing style I think the author's level is very high. Some people say that the description is not very good, but I think there is no problem. Good writing does not necessarily mean that every detail is captured to the extreme. Personally, I think a book that makes people look at the words and pictures come to mind is a book with good writing. "Letter from the End of the World" did it Of course, some problems can also be seen. For example, someone mentioned in the comments that under an electromagnetic storm, all electrical appliances will be interfered with, and the daughter's alarm clock should also be broken... And other small logical problems But having said that, as a first book, so what if there are some problems? Those are the great masters, and the first books of many of them are considered bad books now. And this debut novel has reached a very high level. Furthermore, the novel begins with various foreshadowings from the first chapter, and various mysteries require readers to guess slowly. This is a book that must be read carefully and calmly and slowly. I hope the author will not be affected by the comments. Whether they are negative or flattering, there is no need to be too concerned. As long as you know that many people are optimistic about this book, it is enough. ,,,, Similar villains like Li Bing are not brainless, and they are not inhumane like some novels, and they only exist to set off the protagonist. (I will write a book review later as I read the novel)
Nice! What a wonderful fate. Someone said that there is a book with a setting that is very similar to the one I was shopping for. There are dual timelines, diaries and so on. I came to take a look out of curiosity, and I was fascinated! Especially when describing 2008, both the words and the details have a strong sense of substitution, as if I have returned to those years, but there is no awkward feeling of using old jokes. The right sense of proportion is very high-end. Even some urban rebirth novels rarely have this level. I was so impulsive that I even wanted to publish a chapter. I quit and took a look, a boss with more than 100,000 words and 500+ monthly votes... I was so rash... In short, it was great. As expected, it would be a hit.
I really like books with different styles like this. I feel that online books nowadays tend to be more cliche. This book is different. Various timelines are interspersed. It is not like some books that are complicated for the sake of complexity. If you follow up every day, you will not be able to remember the previous ones. Update soon! This book is so suitable to be read in one sitting. I can only subscribe to it every day. I must finish it!
I was writing some testimonials and accidentally clicked on this book on a limited-time basis. The first 200,000 words can be said to be very amazing. Whether it is the creative writing or the rhythm of the story, the group portraits and storyboards can be considered to be at a first-class level from the starting point, including the first wave of small boos martial arts school. The plot is handled very well. If this is a short and medium-sized novel with 500,000 words, it will already be regarded as a god in my heart. It is a pity that it was born in the starting point, and it is a long online article. It can be seen that the author has written all his inspiration and imagination into it, but the bad thing is this. The best-selling novels of long online articles are better than the author. I feel that it is the grasp of the main rhythm, just like the ability of the protagonist Yuan An, that unique game thinking, can diverge to collect inspiration, but does not deviate from the protagonist's core analysis and solution route. Judging from the latest author's remarks, the author probably knows that he has not mastered the rhythm and main plot yet, but it is not important. After the completion of this book, the second or even the third, fourth, and fifth books, the author can review the book after grasping the context of the Internet. In fact, each plot can be expanded to become the nourishment of a new book. I wish the author to become a god as soon as possible and become more courageous as he fights!
I really thought it was a good book when I read it at the beginning, but when I saw Cheng Men later, I felt a little uncomfortable. This organization is so weird. In an environment like China, especially in a metropolis like Chongqing, it can develop to a government. Moreover, there are troops stationed around Chongqing, plus Chongqing. The police system that Qing originally had can actually allow such an organization to develop. If it develops better in some deep mountain and old forest, the people in Chengmen are not invulnerable and can be solved with just a few bullets. I hope the author will have a reasonable explanation later.
The author's writing about Cheng Men is too outrageous. The evil forces like Cheng Men only have a few guns and maybe even less ammunition, and the anesthetics, the kind used to anesthetize elephants, are even more outrageous. The writing is beyond the scope! Isn't this spiritual energy recovery? He has martial arts but is an ordinary person who can die in one shot, and he still fights against the army? It's outrageous! This kind of disaster must be known to all major countries at the first time. After all, it is foreboding, and then there are various preparations. Of course, foreign countries are sure to be in chaos first, especially the old and free America. Shootings are fought every day. It is not for nothing. Our country will definitely enter military management, unified distribution, and organize people to enter air-raid shelters. There are also many air-raid shelters in our country. There are also those left over from the previous anti-Japanese war, and people can be arranged. There are also famous mountains and rivers, and people will be organized to take refuge nearby. (Our country has military management regulations, and has already simulated and calculated various disasters, especially nuclear apocalypse, and other major countries are similar.) Getting back to the subject, if an evil force like the Cheng Clan dares to show its face, it will be the first to be destroyed. Military management is no joke. Even if the environment deteriorates later and evil organizations develop, it will only be on a small scale. Environmental deterioration affects everyone the same. It is impossible to develop into catching scientists everywhere (the country will definitely recruit such high-end talents as soon as possible and then focus on protecting them), and they can also expand underground cities...
If this book maintains its current level in the future, this book will definitely become popular, and this post will prove it.
