Some Non-Mainstream Books That Are Still Readable
These are books that have been recommended on the app and are still worth reading. Some have a few iffy bits or minor issues, so pick and choose what you read. Also, don’t read their reviews or descriptions, or you might be misled. There are so many mindless haters.

The title of Sister Xi's book, "The Ladder," symbolizes the story of an ordinary person rising from the bottom to the top. It also reflects the invisible walls that stand in society. I look forward to seeing how the protagonist, Zhang Zibo, breaks through these layers of walls. Will he smash through them like a mad dog, or will he carefully plan and take one step at a time, proceeding cautiously and strategically?
No matter how you write, there will be people who criticize you. I hope Sister Xi can stick to her own principles and not be easily led by readers. Starting with no capital, no connections, no vision, and no knowledge, the protagonist truly starts from scratch.
I finished watching it; the plot was gripping and incredibly engaging. The shop manager was cunning and calculating, manipulating every step with meticulous planning, avoiding common tropes like drugging the customer with alcohol—a big plus. Those who enjoy this kind of story will smile; I, on the other hand, probably skipped it quickly because I've seen it a lot before.
I initially thought I couldn't read urban novels without a cheat code (or a protagonist with special abilities), but I ended up finishing it in no time, and it was actually quite good. Please update soon!
Could you highlight this post when you have time? I've seen it before but never had a chance to feature it.
In this world, don't expect Cinderella or the Ugly Duckling to happen to you. Cinderella must first be stunningly beautiful, and the Ugly Duckling must first be a swan. You are just an ordinary person; don't expect to find someone exceptionally beautiful, rich, and handsome to spend your life with.
I've read many urban novels, but this author hasn't explored this genre much. However, once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. The scenarios are reasonable and realistic. It has a similar feel to "Ordinary World," which is great. Keep up the good work, author! 😁😁
Thank you, author, for revising the work for a small reader like me. After rereading it, the younger brother's character is indeed not so hateful anymore. I'll support you to the end! 😁
Go, Sister Xi! Currently ranked number one!
Don't worry about the grades yet. Just keep writing for a while and then check them. Don't rush it. If you write well, your grades will naturally improve.
