A 15-Year Veteran Reader Who Only Reads the Good Stuff
I only include books I can actually get through. Get out of here, you rotten fish and shrimp! My rating scale: 70 means a book is readable, but has no particular standout features and nothing that takes me out of the story. I deduct points for flaws and add them for strengths. The score is mostly subjective. An 80 or higher means there's something truly remarkable about it, while 90 or higher means it's a timeless work. That's all.

Great Novels That Never Made the Top Charts
I keep scrolling through the books at the top of the charts, but none of them are to my taste. Then one day, at some moment, I stumble across a book I love. I read it in one sitting, and the more I read, the more I like it. I leave a comment, scrape together 100 coins to tip the author, and give it my recommendation and the one or two monthly votes I can spare. Then I search the rankings and scroll for ages before I find it. Sigh ╯﹏╰. Those poor little books that never make the top of the charts

My recommendations depend on personal taste. I like fresh concepts, fun stories, expansive worlds, and books with distinctive qualities. Based on my own experience, I especially recommend Return to the Rightful Place and Out of the Cage. If you can get through the instruction-manual-like early chapters, they offer a completely new experience. One day after it snowed, I absentmindedly breathed in the air around me and realized that the sharp cold carried the scent of snow. If you understand what

I must remind high school and junior high school readers.
It is best not to read novels during this year, including my novel. I will finish this novel in a year. I don't want you to waste time voting. In addition, don't skip breakfast. Man is a sophisticated machine. I have personally experimented. I don't eat breakfast in the morning and go to bed. I am a bad student. I eat breakfast in the morning, have a full meal at noon, and supplement it at night. I can learn 12 hours a day to learn the machine. Not only don't subscribe, you don't even need to vote for free, because thinking about it every day will waste time. For those of you who can afford a mobile phone, if you survive this year, you can save hundreds of thousands for your parents. Your parents don't have to sell their house to raise money and seek social help. You won't need to roll it up in the future. The whole-hearted standard during the college entrance examination is to refrain from completely deleting all entertainment apps and not to read the paper books uploaded by the class. Don't think about the balance between work and rest. If you can't control it, it's best to just cut it across the board. There is a lot of time to pass the college entrance examination.
Random talk? Touhou referendum to study together? A community of shared future for interstellar civilization?
I personally have always felt that for science fiction, technological speculations are important, but what is more important is the deduction of the future. It is humanities, it is a grand narrative, it is the overall situational awareness of future trends, it is the analysis of the pros and cons of the existing pattern in imagining the future, and it is how the great liberation and development of productivity can promote the development of human society. It can open our horizons and make better decisions about the future. If we only fantasize about technological artifacts, we will not touch upon the deduction of deeper ideological systems, and we will not be sufficiently ideological, analytical, and enlightening. So whether it is soft or hard science fiction, it is just a novel, not a masterpiece. In my opinion, the real soft science fiction is - some are just gorgeous science and technology, but do not reveal the soil that formed the relevant science and technology. The background is really just a skin, and the background is purely for the better interpretation of the story. Most of the authors who write about cyberpunk at Qidian have fallen into a misunderstanding (personally, I'm not sure)? I think that as long as the world I create is consistent with everyone's definition of the cyberpunk world, there are countless cyberpunk technological innovations, class and character descriptions that can penetrate the essence of the cyberpunk world and emphasize technology but not humanities, as well as the greed and despicability of the rentier class that is reflected in it, plus some innovations in the story, it will be a good science fiction novel. But I think it is far from enough, because in a certain respect, science fiction is a kind of key political article, which is about the impact that the explosion of science and technology and the development of productivity will have on human society. Therefore, if those authors want to write about cyberpunk, they should take over the banner of the predecessor writers and become the pioneers, creators and innovators of cyberpunk. They should constantly innovate the existing cyberpunk society that has been formed, and constantly imagine what kind of political system the cyberpunk society will form. Instead of being restricted by the world built by the predecessors, which political systems will form cyberpunk under certain conditions? Society, supplementing the details of cyberpunk society, forming a fictional but extremely real world as a supplement to reality Suddenly I realized that the correct usage of the metaverse should be like this. Through the metaverse, a virtual world of countless political systems can be constructed, and then through the development and setbacks of society under countless political systems, it can be used as a supplement and experience to the real world to form the Chinese world in the book to plunder countless worlds. Experience has the same purpose, except that you can't study the laws of physics like in the book, but there is no difference, it's just speed. The formation of a good political system by absorbing experience will inevitably promote the development of productivity, the liberation of ideas and the explosion of science and technology At the same time, this is also my biggest doubt about the dark forest theory, that is, not to sneak into every known known civilization that is discovered to obtain its technological and humanistic essence. , Forming a complement to oneself Because the distance between civilizations in the universe is extremely far, each civilization develops independently and cannot be copied. Therefore, there has never been any god-level civilization and comprehensive technology tree. In summary, the development history of each civilization, the sparks of thought within it, and the unique application of individual technologies are the most precious wealth in the universe. (Yes, far more valuable than resources) If you insist that this kind of sneaking in quietly will eventually leave traces, and if you are accidentally discovered, it will cause unnecessary blows. However, don't you think that not taking the initiative to obtain the essence of other civilizations is a kind of isolation? If we actively close ourselves off, work behind closed doors, and conduct independent research, then this civilization will never be able to keep up with the advancement of other people's science and technology. At the same time, hiding it for a while will not last forever. Hiding alone will not solve the problem. The only way to win in the face of the dark forest is to develop, develop, and develop by any means necessary, just like reality, let the times and trends be on your side, and become the strongest civilization in the universe. Then, everything will be solved like the Taiwang problem. In order to achieve this goal, this risk is necessary and must be taken. What we need to do at this time is not to eliminate other civilizations, but to hide behind the scenes and spy on all civilizations like sophons (the first civilization in the universe is still unable to do so) and then fabricate a version of us on the surface (just our skin and vest). If there is really a civilization that surpasses this civilization on the surface, and eliminate it If we lose this civilization, they will suddenly be attacked by mysterious forces, and then we will put on the skin of this civilization that surpasses our civilization on the surface, making everything seem reasonable - natural selection, survival of the fittest, further encouraging other civilizations to become ambitious and develop rapidly) to attract attention and spur them to develop rapidly and freely. After all, they can never surpass us, because at most they can only plunder the humanistic and technological essence of their neighboring civilizations, but we can efficiently plunder and extract the technological essence of all civilizations that have tried their best to surpass us (because we are always snooping in secret), forming a perfect positive cycle. The stronger we are, the more powerful they will be. In order to catch up with us, we will develop faster, and at the same time, we will become stronger. Just like humans and nature, they have become an important part of our civilization and ecology. The stronger these "people" are, the stronger the "whole" we are as a whole will be - this is also my specific imagination of a community with a shared future for mankind in reality.
Some people are too demanding of authors. Literary works cannot grow without soil. We simply cannot imagine another non-Western world system. After all, we live under the discourse power of the Western world system, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, and life... Every aspect has been soaked and penetrated by the material spirit of the Western world system for too long. Artistic creation cannot be separated from the ontology of art. Seeing intellectual disability is no joke! (To use a sentence I like very much to describe it, modern China lost the concept of world order and gained compensation with the concept of territory.) Under the Western world system, we have long lost the power to explain the world. The lack of social explanation ability has caused the worship of ship cargo to run rampant around us. Just like searching for Huawei's "Hongmeng" on Baidu, the official promotion homepage that pops up is "HarmonyOS" without the word "Hongmeng". Isn't the word Hongmeng bad? Of course not. The command of creation opens the Hongmeng, drives the phoenix and the flying rainbow. Whoever steps out of thousands of valleys through thousands of calamities will take advantage of the long wind to replenish the sky. Do you want to make money abroad? Of course not. Without the three-thirds of an acre of China, this system will most likely not be able to survive. But when promoting something that is actually impossible to be internationalized, the country still subconsciously uses an international approach. Then why does Huawei still emphasize "HarmonyOS" rather than "Hongmeng" so much? This is actually the epitome of the religious pursuit of the concept of "internationalization" of the Western world system by us who have lost the right to interpret it in modern times. "Internationalization" is as natural as breathing to us. This is a basic fact that is not based on emotions. Just like Liu Mazi in "Teahouse" also likes to emphasize that his cigarettes are British and his noodles are Japanese, "the two powerful countries serve him alone" So, even people from another timeline can travel through time and use all means including movies, TV series, novels or games. It is still impossible for us to truly understand everything on that timeline. Because daytime does not understand the darkness of night. No matter how beautiful you describe the night, they will not be able to understand it. Just like mammals bathing in the sun again after 160 million years, they can no longer see the colorful world. Even if humans are lucky enough to see it, the color will never be the same as it was 230 million years ago. Background: Insects and reptiles other than mammals have more than three types of cone cells and can see more colors. The ancestors of mammals were also like this, but in the age of dinosaurs, they became nocturnal animals and their vision deteriorated in order to survive. After rising again, it resumed its activities during the day, but its color vision never returned to its previous level. If the four-color vision inherent in bony fish is lost, it is almost impossible for future generations to imagine the world with four-color vision. The current human beings are essentially just monkeys with a little evolution🐒. The literary and artistic works of any country are affected by soil. The closer the literary and artistic works are to the essence of soil, the more wonderful they are. Artistic creation cannot be divorced from the essence of art. Just like, whether it is Titan or Steel and Ginying, they are essentially the narrative of modern Japanese history with special effects. The difference is nothing more than: Steel came to an abrupt end after the colonels succeeded in 226, retaining the beauty at its peak, Yinying rationally made the death of the emperor the pinnacle of beauty. As for Zhuge Chuang's works, the first three seasons are the history of the fall of the curtain, the history of the heroic heroes of the end of the Tokugawa period, the history of expulsion of foreigners, the history of Japan's unification, rise, strength, defeat of Russia and the Qing Dynasty, and the history of Clouds over Sakagami. But how to win after that? Sorry, we can't win, it's impossible to win. Zhang Yang actually captured Chiang, Chiang was not killed, the enemy actually negotiated peace, Chiang actually refused to surrender, and the enemy's rear was actually controlled. How to win? Sorry, can't win. Even if the ground cries, we still can't win. So: In this life, we people cannot truly transcend the limitations of our own fantasies imposed by the Western world system. Lu Xun said long ago: "There is no supporting evidence when describing gods and ghosts. They could have relied solely on their mental thoughts and so-called imaginative writing. However, what they wrote was nothing more than three eyes and a long neck, which is just one eye added to the common human body and the neck lengthened by two or three feet." So: No matter how mysterious the fantasy world of mortals, it is still inextricably linked to the place where they live.
I don't understand "entry into the customs", so don't imitate the Koreans.
When I wrote "Infinite Obstacles", I first wrote about the Sino-US trade war, and the trade war came about the next year. At that time, I had not yet "entered the customs". Some people said that the author was a layman and did not understand globalization. My thinking has its origin In addition, the key point of this book has been stated in the first chapter. The name "imposing a name" actually has nothing to do with a certain person, forcing him to bow his head! For evil. Except for Shen Yi at Station B, I follow him. Ma Ni's perspective has data and is valuable for understanding. I won't watch the others specifically, let alone argue with them. Don't trick me into your trap.
The evolution history of nuclear-powered battleships: "Plane Little Butterfly" - tells the thoughts of people on earth in Chinese translated by an alien language machine. (According to Zentraedi primitive society researcher Wozki Shuode, the order of Chinese characters does not affect reading) "The Battle of the Wellhead"--it is still a brain idea of the people on the earth, and the level of translation has improved (Hey, fellow humans, good morning, did you have mating activities today) "Infinite Obstacles"--This is the author's image that is most human-like in my mind. The protagonist looks like a person, the supporting role looks like a person, and the imagination is very characteristic of human fantasy. In short, this is a book written by me. "Returning"——After fully understanding the culture of the primitive civilization on the east coast of the Eurasian continent in the 21st century of the Fourth Age of Sol III, the author began to let himself go and show his fangs. In short, this is a novel written in Chinese with a full color of extraterrestrial culture. Every sentence tells the reader: "Earthlings, these are the real aliens." "Out of the Cage" - "According to recent data, we have discovered an unusual trend at the sociological research station of Sol III, the third cantilever of the Milky Way. According to the investigation by researchers at the station, we have discovered disturbances in heterogeneous cultural variables." At this time, the unnameable creature (read as a nuclear-powered battleship) that was about to write came down with a chill from the sky cap (perhaps the gravitational wave sensing tentacles above its head?), And he tore up the manuscript overnight.
Finally, I saw another science fiction book that wasn't about high-tech gangsters. .
I hate cyberpunk, because no matter how high-tech a gangster he is, he is still a gangster. The blue planet is my homeland, and the vast stars are my journey. It's time to put an end to all trivial calculations and start the great pioneering journey again! The Cold War was truly the golden age of mankind. Human beings entered space in 1961, landed on the moon in 1969, and built the world's first space station in 1971. During the golden years of human space exploration, there was a huge activity almost every ten years. Even in 1991, when the Soviet Union was about to disintegrate and the Cold War was about to end, the Soviet Union was still testing the Buran 2 space shuttle. Space exploration has even become an important source of political legitimacy for major political forces. Even late-developing countries are not willing to lag behind, and are trying every means to participate in the process of space exploration in various ways. Looking at the future fantasies of that era, they are all about humans traveling in space in the 21st century. Looking through the past and future imagination, they are all about humans traveling in the universe in the 21st century. Now one-fifth of the 21st century has passed, We are still eating ashes on the earth, resting on our laurels, Even space operas have been scrapped, and now when it comes to science fiction, it's either a cyberpunk near-future dystopia, a post-apocalyptic wasteland survival drama, or a turn to immortality, I don't know whether humans are afraid of looking up to space, or shy of facing their predecessors, or both? Obviously mechanical ascension is the most suitable technological method for space exploration, but when it comes to mechanical ascension, people still only have cyberpunk in their minds, where a bunch of young and Dangerous guys with prosthetics scheming and scheming against each other among the LED-illuminated cement boxes on the facade, engaging in some high-tech street gangster behavior. However, no matter how high-tech a gangster is, he is still a gangster after all. Our imagination of technology and the future has become so wretched, so stooped, so unbearable, and we don't even know it! Look now, what are we busy doing all day long? The biggest space news is actually busy researching low-cost reusable rockets. What is the main topic? Collecting seigniorage, reciting left and right sutras, wearing a mask and not wearing a mask, metaphysical issues derived from wearing a mask and not wearing a mask, the reflection and dialectical relationship between wearing a mask and not wearing a mask. What kind of mess is this? Can you do something serious once in a while? It's the 21st century, everyone. The computing power of a broken mobile phone is more than that of Apollo's main control computer. Please do something about it. Cold War mentality should be a compliment! At that time, human heroes emerged in large numbers, and legendary stories were commonplace. They dared to do big things, do big things, and carry out big jobs. The moon could be seen in the nine days above, and the turtles could be caught in the five oceans below. I broke atoms apart and put them together again, planted a flag on the moon, and realized a normal existence in orbit. What I did was to contribute to the contemporary deeds. What I thought about was the thorny and smooth road between the stars. What I thought about was that success does not depend on my courage. What I created was a great cause that will benefit the future! What they have accomplished with rudimentary technology is an ambition that we cannot even imagine even though we are paying patent taxes! A bunch of people are making fun of each other on the earth, vying to be the first to cosplay with Ah Q. They don't get up early without any benefit, dare not look up at the stars, and are better than monkeys in settling accounts. I call this the transformation of human beings into masters. It's disgusting. I turned off the lights. Why do you even send satellites to throw away garbage? Put it aside, it won't cost much, even if it's sneaky? Do something big and stop embarrassing our ancestors. Our ancestors only have so much face, how many more days can they keep us humiliated? One day I lose all my face and have no face to lose. What should I do? Everyone divides the luggage and goes home, blows out the lamp, pulls out the wax, and pulls him down? Sometimes I hope Dr. Chen Ang from "Fantasy World Travel" can come to reality and force human civilization...
At 13:07 on May 22, 2021, Yuan Longping, winner of the "Medal of the Republic", academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, director of the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center, and former vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, died of illness at the age of 91. Academician Yuan Longping once said that he has two dreams: one is to enjoy the cool under the grass, and the second is to cover the world with hybrid rice. "There are 160 million hectares of rice fields in the world. If half of them are 80 million hectares (for hybrid rice), then with the current situation, an increase of two tons per hectare can feed an additional 500 million people." He is the watchman in the rice fields! Mr. Yuan, go away!
Personal analysis of the key to breaking through the fertile soil threshold in the main world: The main world is currently stuck before being promoted to the fertile soil, and the standard of the fertile soil area is that everyone is like a dragon and everyone is a high-quality variable. For example, if a variable were to host a study in the main world, it would involve a group of people and multiple departments to participate, which would then influence all participants and promote the people involved to become variables. However, in a different world, only people from the different world would be influenced by the variables. By adding variables to the different world, the main world seems to have received technological dividends but lost the opportunity for variable increases. The variables of the main world are trapped in the different world, and because there are time-traveling competitors, the main world is constantly selecting travelers, that is, variables, to put into the different world. Although the variables indirectly feed back to the main world, making the fertile area-like environment of the main world give birth to more variables, the main world will always be stuck in the endless loop of birthing variables → becoming a traveler → evolving into a different world → feeding back to the main world → birthing variables → becoming a time traveler... The main world is locked in a cage that will grow with it. If you want to break through, you must pull the variables out of the deep pit of the different world. Although there are more treasures under this pit, the main world cannot fall into it anymore.
Discussion about Bai Linglu In fact, we only need to look at a few aspects. I guess that is what Kayaking wants to express Are there any problems with the character Bai Linglu? ——Yes Is Bai Linglu's behavior supported by her own logic? ——Yes The role of Bai Linglu ——Not a villain, but a backward friendly member of the party, but he definitely cannot meet the standards of a comrade. I think by grasping these, we can see the positioning of Bai's character in the book and some of her possible subsequent developments. In essence, she is also a transitional character serving the plot. Here is also a reminder to some new readers: don't try to find emotional clues in kayaking books, and don't care too much about some characters, especially female characters. There are so many ambiguous scenes in such books.
I haven't finished it yet. The 30 volumes are just skeletons. Some of them need to be torn up and some need to be rewritten.
For example, right now, I have just solved a 10,000-word outline and now it has been expanded to 40,000 words.
