A Cuttlefish's Spiritual Sustenance
An omnivorous reader's list. If you're in a reading slump, take a look. Updated from time to time. Most are still ongoing; abandoned serials will be deleted on schedule.
No Dumbed-Down Characters, Logic Is My Stubborn Bottom Line!
Books with sound logic that don't make the characters act stupid
Books I’ve Enjoyed Over the Past Twenty Years, Updated Whenever
For twenty years, I only read books without keeping any records. When I was in school, I read pirated copies, and afterward I had no notes to refer to. Later, I switched to official editions, but completed books were taken down. Sometimes I would try to remember what I had read and could not recall them for a while, so I made this booklist to record some books I thought were good.
No Goody-Two-Shoes: Decent Writing, Film and TV, Feel-Good Stories, Behind-the-Scenes Schemes, Overpowered Leads, and Fan Fiction
(Most books are around a million words or more. I hope this saves you the trouble of searching for books, which I know all too well. I’ve been reading Marvel fan fiction lately, so there are more American comics recommendations.) My tastes are extremely eclectic, and I read almost every genre. But I don’t like tragic stories, even if things turn around later, so most of my recommendations are feel-good power fantasies. Most feature invincible or nearly invincible protagonists. An invincible prot
A Mix of Different Styles
I move my boat to a misty shoal and moor there; at dusk, a traveler's sorrow wells up anew. The wilderness stretches wide, the sky hangs low over the trees; the river is clear, and the moon seems close to me.
Novels I'm Following
A personal list, mostly for novels I might read someday.
Shennong Tastes Every Herb
Shennong is here to test the books for poison and recommend great reads and solid books worth letting pile up. I prefer historical fiction, wuxia, infinite-flow stories, and fanfiction. Mostly male-oriented fiction, with some female-oriented fiction too. P.S. I don't like harems or brainless stories. P.P.S. My tastes are always changing. P.P.P.S. My ratings aren't objective. They're mostly based on personal preference.
Alone, Like Fireworks at Dawn
Worth a read.
My Little Book List
The list is small, but I'll try to keep it up to date Looking for novels I think are worth reading (personal ratings)

A Fated Connection

Seeing Song Ci's appearance reminded me of the series, so I watched some videos on Bilibili. Afterwards, I felt exhausted. No matter how hard you try, you can't change the officialdom; the rulers aren't on your side—it's useless! The protagonist isn't a prince; a prince can't become emperor.
Although this version of Little Dragon Girl from The Return of the Condor Heroes is rather weak, Li Mochou is actually quite good.
Honestly, the stock market stuff in your martial arts novel is a bit off-putting. If you're going to have a female lead, why not just write it directly? The whole thing involves a bunch of characters having ambiguous relationships, and you're not completely a eunuch yet you don't dare to create a harem. This hypocrisy is really discouraging! It's 2022, stock market stuff isn't in vogue anymore, just get the female lead out of there!
What does this say? If you can't write the romance well, then write less of it, okay? A girl sneaks into a man's bed on their first date? Is this girl from a brothel? Even brothel girls wouldn't necessarily do that. But this Mu Xiaochun was actually being groomed to be the next sect leader of the so-called Lijing Sect!
Is this Schrödinger's Wudang Sect? Even the constable Ji Yaohua knows the protagonist is from the Wudang Sect, but the Iron Constable doesn't. So outsiders know the protagonist is a direct descendant of Wudang, but the Wudang people themselves don't?
After all that, it turns out to be a fantasy novel disguised as a martial arts story. Sigh, I knew there weren't many authors who could write good martial arts novels these days. Martial arts, martial arts, where do all those ridiculous realms of cultivation come from?
Many readers have probably been frustrated by the recent plot developments. From the very beginning, this book felt like a satisfying, stress-free read. The protagonist has an incredibly smooth start, possessing the wisdom of Yang Ling from *Back to the Ming Dynasty* (similar to *Back to the Ming Dynasty* but without the tedious court intrigue), and also reminiscent of the style of *Lu Xiaofeng*…
Having read Chapter 315, I feel the protagonist has become a complete hypocrite. This part of the Wen family storyline is just too… I'm speechless. I won't even mention the protagonist, as a judicial officer, breaking the law, but he even demonstrates how to commit perjury in front of his subordinate surnamed Di, specifically burning letters.
I'll stop here. I'm not going to read the whole book anymore. I started reading from the first chapter and was thinking of continuing, but the thought of Ya Ya is too painful. Even if there was a reason to kill Ya Ya, she didn't necessarily have to die. Goodbye, everyone.
Is it Liu Wangshu?
