Chen R’s Reading List
Books that are pleasant to read, from a pretty wide range of genres.
A Sort of Reading Guide? I'll Review All Kinds of Texts, Good and Bad
I add strange and unusual books I come across here. (I can only make one list, so my personal recommendations are here too.) P.S. If I sound harsh, it’s because something about the book genuinely disgusted me. P.P.S. One extremely harmful book was taken down the other day, after being on this list for a while. No idea if someone reported it or the author ran off, but either way, good riddance.
A Reading List for Those Who Don't Leech
I love sci-fi, especially flashy novels with wildly reimagined settings. There are some other interesting ones too.
Everyday Life, Fun, and Ensemble Casts
I’m collecting books I’ve read and enjoyed. If you ask me, “Wasn’t this one bad, too?” all I can say is that I thought it was pretty good at the time. Whether it’s still good later on isn’t my responsibility.
My Personal Reading Preferences
After two and a half years, it finally passed review. Sob sob sob sob sob.
Flowers in the Mirror, the Moon in the Water
Every one of them is worth reading
The Divine Farmer's Herbal Classic: Weeds
These are just okay, neither good nor bad. I read partway through most of them, but for one reason or another, never finished.

Novels with fresh, original ideas
The Afterlife Reading List of 🐻🐺🐶'S Fan
No formulaic stories.
Notes on New Books I've Read, with Reviews (November 2022)
I jot down thoughts as I read. Most of these are books whose opening chapters caught my interest, though I haven’t finished most of them. I’ll note what appealed to me and why I dropped each one. Maybe what puts me off is exactly what you love? Unless otherwise noted, they generally have one female lead or no female lead.

I read a Western fantasy book that I really liked, but unfortunately there aren't many good books in the same genre, so I could only try my luck by searching for Cthulhu-related books, and that's how I found this one. As for Souls-like games, I can only say I've "heard of them." The "Sakura Country" and two names that appeared at the beginning left me completely confused, lol.
Well, let me share my current thoughts on this book. Firstly, author, you've put a lot of effort into this book; the writing style is impeccable. However, it's more suitable for careful, slow reading, rather than for today's fast-paced lifestyle. It's better suited to reading millions of words at once, where all the foreshadowing and plot points connect perfectly.
To be honest, this is the first book I've read in all these years that I feel compelled to complain about. Actually, the writing is quite good, both the story and the style are excellent. It's just that the author uses a lot of inexplicable descriptions and excessive use of imagery to create atmosphere and storytelling, making it incredibly tiring to read.
Rules of the Strange... ... Unrelated to this book... ...
Bad news: Frankenstein's monster Good news: The stitching is pretty good.
I dare say that even later on, the protagonist won't possess particularly great power. This is because the struggle between a weak protagonist and the prevailing environment is one of the main characteristics of this type of story with a "red" (revolutionary) theme.
The empire is an empire for all mankind, not just for white people.
Bad news: This book is a Frankenstein's monster 😡😡😡 Good news: He sewed them all back on! 🥵🥵🥵
Isn't this supposed to be well-written? Another good book that's completely unpopular and still has a lot of chapters left. Well done, author! It's so nice not having to follow the updates.
I was somewhat shocked; the title really didn't match the writing style.
