Let's Share Good Books
All books I've read. My tastes are all over the place! A book that's good from the start isn't necessarily good later on!
Novels I Like
Kept in sync with my bookshelf, with quality guaranteed. Updated from time to time.
Rational, Disciplined, Decisive
I’ve been reading web novels for 13 years. I like protagonists who are somewhat selfish and rational. If you enjoy one book on this list, don’t miss the others of the same type.
Recommended by a Thirteen-Year Bookworm: Strong Logic, Bold Ideas, No Beginner-Friendly Fluff
The more books I read, the harder it is to settle down and enjoy one. I used to like stories full of passion, then I moved on to ones with imaginative ideas. Now imaginative ideas aren't enough: they also have to be funny and entertaining. Maybe in a couple of years I won't read at all anymore! Like it if you feel the same.
A Pile of Novels
Interesting novels in all kinds of styles.

This is the fourth book, right? Wu Ni, we met on the set of "Feng Yin," which is also my favorite book. "Qing Mei" was good too, but I didn't really like the ending, and they didn't even write an epilogue to supplement it. The title of the third book seemed quite to my liking, but the content wasn't quite what I expected. You're not a newbie anymore; some mistakes are unacceptable.
The basic cultivation methods aren't explained clearly. They keep saying that once you become a Dao Soldier, your cultivation is ruined, but they never elaborate. They just say it's ruined and you can only become a stronger Dao Soldier. It's really annoying to watch.
"The Immortal Path of Green Plum" is good; I couldn't get into the previous book, so I hope this one is good too.
It's finished! Happy New Year everyone!
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. First of all, I wish all my readers who have supported me all this time a Happy New Year. I hope that in the new year, everyone will be happy, healthy, and that you and your family will be safe and sound, with love in your hearts, money in your pockets, and light in your eyes.
I'm thinking of canceling. This high-voltage flow was interesting at first, but I couldn't stand it anymore. It's like walking a tightrope; it's just a protagonist's halo.
This book's failure was inevitable! Don't you understand? Look at those slightly famous authors who would write something like this: a character's soul is sealed, their life hanging in the balance! And this kind of plot persists even in the middle of the book—nobody likes it. The childhood sweetheart story, on the other hand, is really quite good! Take a look at this one.
I think that if you were to transmigrate into the protagonist's situation, the top priority would be to escape being controlled by others. You'd be constantly in life-or-death struggles with no benefits or freedom whatsoever. Rather than not knowing when you'll die at the hands of the enemy, it's better to take a gamble.
Being controlled by others—I can only say that if the book hasn't escaped this situation by chapter 30-50, it's doomed. I couldn't even get past chapter 10; it was frustrating and made me uncomfortable.
If your writing isn't good enough, stop with the epiphanies and similar pronouncements. It's only a few dozen chapters, and there's no backstory or context whatsoever. These sudden epiphanies are just too awkward… If you really want to write in the realm of imagery, I suggest you read more works by those masters of that genre…
The title alone makes it seem unreliable. Dao soldiers are practically slaves, puppets, or tools; they can't escape their fate and are forever someone else's dogs.
