New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)
As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

Reading List No. 3: Urban Fiction
This is the third one... I just saw that there's another categorized book-list event, and since I can make an urban fiction category, I went ahead and created one. Urban fiction has the most quality picks, after all. [Here are my other three lists: Main list: long reviews focused on new sprouts, with over 20,000 followers and 35,000 without comments.

A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

Recommendations to Suit My Taste (Ongoing Series Only)
🌟 My tastes are varied. Read the notes carefully: whether there's a female lead, whether it's an advantage-focused story, and whether it has ships to root for. 🌟🌟 Two stars usually means it's okay to read when I'm out of books. From the Start, I Wanted to Leave the Jianghu Clothes and Ceremony Do Not Cross the South The Holy Roman Empire The Unexplained (I like the female lead) I Am Cthulhu in Tokyo Spy Shadow in the Storm Monsters Die When Killed The Old Day's Records The Incredible Shanhai Fou

Mo Yuanke’s Little Hideaway: Logical Stories Worth Binge-Reading
If you enjoy the list, please save it. I’d like to start a column so I can better serve fellow readers. I’ve been burned too often by shameless recommendation lists that promise the world but deliver nothing, and can’t even string a sentence together. Experience has taught me a thing or two. I won’t include books by authors who keep abandoning their stories, unless they were forced to stop, or books by people with poor reputations. “Dry grass” means the writing has a strong, niche style, but is
Chinese Entertainment, Decisive, Sensible, Laid-Back Farming, Levelheaded
👍 If you're passing by, please follow, leave a review, and check out these top picks. I recommend all sorts of books, a real mixed bag. I've read most of them, and most have just one female lead. Full of wild ideas, with protagonists who are only one part of the world, not necessarily at its center. Not everything revolves around them. Almost no melodramatic plots, and the characters don't show off without reason. These books have a bit more class. The protagonists have feelings but aren't self-
Beat the Reading Drought: Fast-Paced, Plot-Driven, and Mind-Game Novels
I've been an avid reader for over ten years. This is a record of books I think are good. I prefer fast-paced, plot-driven novels and have little interest in power fantasies. I read all kinds of things, and anything that suits my taste may make the list. Some may be abandoned or end badly, and you may disagree with my opinions, so use your own judgment. One person's honey is another person's poison. This list reflects my personal views only. The only thing I can guarantee is that I've read at le

[Showbiz Favorites] A Veteran’s Picks for Entertainment Industry Fiction
⭐ I haven't been on Qidian long, and many of these books don't have many followers, but I've finished every one and picked out the best showbiz novels. You can trust me! I was hopelessly hooked on American entertainment novels in the first half of this year. They blend fiction with reality, and looking up celebrity photos and box office numbers while reading is so addictive. At first I read Huayu: The Age of Art, which lots of people recommended. But later, the protagonist became a top-tier sta

There's no extraordinary starting point, no omnipotent cheat codes, no illogical passion, no shameless face-slapping, and most importantly, no Superman's embarrassing moment of wearing his underwear on the outside! This isn't a fairy tale for overgrown children, nor a myth for mindless fans. It's a story that, while detached from reality, is relatively close to life!
As someone who studied film in the US, reading this book was incredibly immersive. The author is amazing; so many details are written with professional expertise. Many of the techniques and methods used in digital cinema during the film era weren't explained as thoroughly as what our professors covered in class. In short, while not perfect, the author is definitely one of the most knowledgeable authors in the American entertainment industry. 👍👍👍
Well written. The author tells the story of a slightly gifted individual who works in the film industry in the 1980s. Although the pacing seems a bit slow compared to other novels of the same genre, the story unfolds in a particularly engaging way.
Having read many director-themed novels, this one stands out as quite unique. Firstly, unlike most entertainment industry novels that simply gloss over the filmmaking process, it meticulously describes various filming techniques and knowledge related to film, appearing very professional (whether it's truly professional is unclear, but the author's dedication is evident).
This book is just more tiring to read the more you read it; I don't recommend it.
The only redeeming quality is its detailed writing and inclusion of a lot of old materials, which does provide a glimpse into a corner of Hollywood at the time. However, the rest of the book is simply a series of terrible reading experiences.
Ronald has had several blockbuster movies, but it seems his status hasn't changed at all; everyone bullies him.
Keep writing like this, keep it up! It's like watching an American period drama.
The author has a wealth of theoretical knowledge. But the novel's pacing is too slow. The protagonist's personality wasn't particularly likable at the beginning. It also lacks a significant amount of enjoyable moments. Several times I read more than ten chapters, then quit and didn't want to read anymore. If this were a movie, it would undoubtedly be an art film.
