I Couldn't Find Any Good Books, So I Made My Own Reading List
I'm back from the other side. Feels like the whole ecosystem is about to collapse! Anyway, time to read.
Readers in a Slump, Come On In! Guaranteed to Find Something New
I don't recommend books near the top of the overall rankings. There's no need, since everyone can find those. If a book is already near the top, that means I added it to this list while it was still new. (I've got a good eye 😎)
Novels That Are Still Readable
I've been reading novels for over twenty years, and there aren't many I can still enjoy these days. Five stars means a must-read! Four stars means worth reading! Three stars means take it or leave it! Two stars means it's basically unreadable! As for one star? No such thing!
Books I Have Read Again and Again
A book is its own world, and that world has to make readers believe its stories could happen. The worldbuilding needs to be consistent, the prose should suit the characters, and the story should draw readers in.
Favorites: Feel-Good, Relaxed, Low-Stakes Reads Without Harem or Angst
Just like the list's name says, life is too busy, so here's a chance to unwind.
Bowing to the Swaying Shadows of Flowers
I want it all!
🔥🔥Hot New Releases🔥🔥Legendary Masterpieces🔥🔥Hidden Gems
No female-oriented fiction, but I’ll read anything else. I guarantee I’ve read every book here, and each has a personal rating and a brief introduction. Generous readers who bookmark and send flowers will definitely get a recommendation and a follow from me.
Great Books Still in Progress
The author is lazy. The reviews are all just one word.
The Abandoned and Unfinished Novel Log
I can't find The Tycoon of Hong Kong. Is it on my list? Can anyone recommend online games set during the Three Kingdoms period, or stories about transmigration or rebirth? I'm looking for stories without cheat abilities. I've noticed that unless a book is complete, there's a one-in-four chance it gets abandoned after I add it to this list. Seriously, several promising new novels have already been dropped. Collecting excellent works and novels with disappointing endings, while recommending the on

The longer I read, the fewer books I find worth reading. Here are some I've read or am reading that suit my tastes. P.S. I'm out of books to read, so recommendations of all kinds are welcome. Thank you so much!
Top Picks: Recommendations for a Reading Slump
Books I'm currently following and enjoying, across all kinds of genres! I've read plenty, and my standards have gotten higher and higher! I used to chase whatever genre was popular, then got sick of the very things I was reading! Now I just want to clear my mind and find a fantasy paradise to escape to amid the cruelty of this real-life hell, to hide from my own cowardice! I seek comfort in books, explore the fantastic, and long for something beautiful! Really, all I want is something I can keep
A Song by the River, Softly Singing to the Evening Breeze
A low song drifts across the river with the evening breeze. Only after singing of heartbreak do we know how deep love runs. Who can understand the sorrow of separated mandarin ducks? Who can bear such bitterness without being moved? People know joy and grief, parting and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes. Which works have touched your heart? I'll recommend one to start: Perfect World, except for the Fire-Sang Girl of Sin Province.

Personal Reading List
Keeping track of the books I've read. If you share my tastes, please recommend some good ones to me ^_^
Books Worth Following
I’ve taken personal leave to read, called in sick to read, and stayed up all night reading. I’ve even cut back on my food budget to buy credits. I’ve been a self-proclaimed old bookworm for over a decade, and I have very high standards.
Different Stories, One Shared Interest
Realistic, meticulous, heartfelt, and engaging prose brings a vivid world to life. A steadfast, decisive, clearheaded, practical protagonist hones himself amid the turmoil of the mortal world and rises above it. A great starting point. The protagonist quickly adapts to circumstances, takes control of the situation, and creates a good environment for cultivation. He is resolute in his cultivation, decisive in his actions, and doesn't slack off in daily life, making steady progress.

Here's a quick look at the wedding photos. Thank you all for your support and blessings.
Thank you everyone, consider this a treat for book lovers!
I want 10 chapters tomorrow, Silver Alliance, understand?
I really like your storyline, but I really dislike your update speed.
Shock!
Ah Jun got married! But I wasn't the groom!

I didn't want to comment, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. You're the head of a local Hong Kong gang, what right did you have to beat up Chiu Tak-ken? And after that, he obediently sold his ATV shares to you. I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Author, come out and call me handsome!
He started as a gangster, then went through the motions to open a film company and make movies. That's fine, but starting with "A Better Tomorrow" was too ambitious. Then he went on to make "Happy Ghost," and something just felt off. The transition was abrupt and awkward. Did he suddenly decide to act in it? And dare to challenge Shaw Brothers? To put it bluntly, what's Shaw Brothers' status?
Banana people no longer consider themselves Chinese; on the contrary, they are ashamed of having yellow skin.
This book is several levels below *1985 Hong Kong Tycoon*. What is this book even about? It's neither black nor white, neither gray nor neutral, making it frustrating to read.
