Qingdan: Reading Log
I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p
[Brilliant Stars] That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its [world-building completeness]. For no

As an avid reader of over ten years, I want to share some books that I think have something to offer. I don't have much of a way with words, and my memory is getting worse, but I still want to record books whose plots and characters I may no longer remember, in hopes of bringing someone a little of the joy they once brought me. I've read thousands of books, so I think I've picked out the best ones. If you haven't read them, give them a try. P.S. These days, I can barely finish a novel. I couldn'

Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've

Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.
An Old Bookworm's Reading List
People around me don't understand why I love reading novels so much. I tell them that every book contains a colorful little world, and I want to see what makes each one unique and hear its different stories, whether they're funny, moving, or peaceful. These worlds touch and captivate me. I want to share the stories I love with everyone!

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty

Ka Tu, a classic among classics, Fang Xiang is such a master, from Legend of Masters to Ka Tu, it has always been my favorite novel!
I have been reading online novels for thirteen years, and Fang Xiang's Legend of the Master, Ka Tu, and World of Cultivation are still my three favorites. No matter in terms of creative logic, world view, character design or plot development, it perfectly suits my taste. It is not difficult to see from the reviews of this book that many have re-read it, and some have even read it ten times. It shows that after reading the full text, it is difficult not to praise this book. If someone dislikes this novel because it is too early without even reading it, then I can only say that you have missed a treasure. The new novels in recent years are either too powerful, or have a too strong sense of world fragmentation, or have unpleasant characters, or are too impetuous. Although there are still good articles, I can no longer find novels that I thought would make me so "amazing" that I would even read them three, four, or five times. There are very few protagonists in today's novels who have such self-discipline and hard work. The protagonists in most books nowadays just rely on a golden finger to become stronger without much hardship or effort. In other words, the author did not write about their efforts, which makes people feel that the protagonists are nothing if they lose their golden fingers. I still like the hard-working + talented protagonists like Chen Mu and Ye Zhong who are down-to-earth and step-by-step. They give me the feeling that even if they are not talented enough, they can still succeed with this perseverance. They are very positive... And IQ is online (there are too many novices with low IQ), they are decisive in killing (not a holy father or indiscriminate killing), and they do not open a harem. I really like these points. Fang Xiang's several books have a great influence on me. I have also written a novel of one to two million words, and the writing style, world view settings, and plot routines were all influenced by Fang Xiang. Later, when I stopped writing novels (I am an art practitioner), I still carefully set up the character's background and worldview when it came to painting. It's a pity that Fang Xiang has many other things to do now and can no longer write novels full-time. Finally, I would like to mention that many people say that Katu is unfinished. In fact, I don't think it is unfinished. Basically everything that should be explained in the main plot has been explained. It just lacks some warm stories after the war and the follow-up daily life of important characters. But to be honest, these daily routines do not affect the main plot (although I also want to see it) I must say that the ending is too hasty, too fast, and it feels like the pace has suddenly accelerated from Baiyuan Mansion. According to the previous normal pace, Baiyuan Mansion can still write twenty chapters, and then the war with Mohadi Domain + exploration of Mohadi Territory will write thirty chapters, the war with Tang Hanpei, the unification of the Federation, and the research of mysterious cards will be another thirty chapters, and there will be one chapter to wrap up and explain everyone's subsequent development. If you add eighty chapters like this, it will be perfect.
I was very, very satisfied with the first 95% of it. Why did it suddenly disappear? 😆 This is definitely a mess, otherwise at least 20% of it could be written.
I would like to ask if this book will be outdated now, and can it still be read? After all, it is an ancient book
I ate a ton of Xiang, hey hey, no one can see me_§:з)))∠)_
I watched Katu more than ten years ago and was really shocked at the time! But the ending is really... Well, it's still unfinished😥 From then on, I embarked on a path of no return and searched for a book with a similar setting to Katu for ten years. Similar styles, yes, and many. There are many similar elements. But there just wasn't the one I was looking for. In the end, I had to write one myself😅. It can be considered a fan, but not quite like a fan... I would like to express my obsession with Katu😡
Can this book be considered a classic? Although I also admit that the concept of the card world is indeed novel and unique, the plot is very unreasonable. A protagonist with such strong sensory control is always scared and covered in cold sweat. When someone finds out, he is thought to be sick. He is so high-profile in school and is easily discovered to be good at planning. The same is true when facing Hong Tao. The opponent is just a student, and his hostility is easily seen. Do you want to show it so obviously? I have an enmity with the Zuo family out of nowhere, and I don't know how the protagonist managed to grow up alive. Shouldn't tolerance be a basic skill? He was so high-profile in the Ning family, but they refused to let him go, and he didn't know why he was so high-profile, so he was forced to run away in the end. . . Shouldn't he just complete the task in a low-key manner and then run away? It was even more ridiculous when facing Bowen. He was found to hold his breath for something as trivial as sesame. Can he have some control? Such a mentally retarded protagonist would have been dead in other books, and he could only survive thanks to the author's golden finger.
We still don't know the names of the forces behind Faya
How should I put it, after reading almost two hundred chapters, the protagonist gives people a very uncomfortable feeling, which is very ridiculous. It seems that he only knows how to make cards, and does not understand some basic common sense of the outside world. Since you are in the world of card making, you don't understand some basic things, no, to be precise, you don't understand. My sister, something very deadly has been planted in her body, but she doesn't feel the slightest sense of crisis. She doesn't want to solve it, and is still thinking about card making. What is the most outrageous thing? Are you kidding me when you think about living a peaceful life? Can you bring me peace in such a dangerous world? Don't think about how to improve your own strength, but think about making cards when you get older. Fortunately, you have lived at the bottom since you were a child. Don't you understand what kind of world this is? The weak eat the strong! The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. The protagonist lacks the subjective initiative to improve his strength, which makes it uncomfortable to watch.
It's good-looking, indeed wonderful. Even 26 years old, I can still be moved by the writing. But what is the situation at the end? The dragon's head and the rat's tail. This is the only regrettable part.
