Sanbao's Good Reads
Once upon a time, a book lay before me. I casually opened it, and a wondrous world unfolded! Now I'm actively searching for good books, unwilling to let them go undiscovered by you, a fellow book lover.
A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems
I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many
Hidden Gems Ranked Below the Top 500
Every novel on this list ranks below 500 on the monthly ticket chart. Why below 500? Because the chart only shows the top 500! So, if one day you see a book from this list near the top, remember: it once struggled, too. And one day, you'll shine as well!
A Sword, a Blade, a Jug of Wine, and a Book: My Only Companions on the Road
Travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books, explore countless worlds. I've added the good books I've read over the years. Some may have been written a long time ago, but they're still classics today. In the early years, reading novels was truly intoxicating and addictive. I'd stay up all night reading, dreaming of them over and over. Fortunately, I was young back then. Reading was such a thrill: strange and fantastical worlds, heroes leaping across rooftops, powerful figures soaring thro
Niche Tastes
Books I have read on Qidian over the past few years. I finished some and did not finish others, but I thought they were all quite good. At the very least, none had any glaringly problematic elements.

Purely subjective ratings. 90–99: Masterpieces in my eyes 80–89: Excellent, top-quality works 70–79: Good for passing the time 60–69: Decent enough
I'm Proud to Be Picky
Keeping a record of the good books I've read. I'm picky, after all.
Ahua's Food for the Soul
Ah Hua has a bit of an artsy streak, so you can count on the writing in this list to be good and not dumbed down. Ah Hua also has a bit of a playboy streak, so I don't like repeating the same type. (I also really like the books on the rankings, such as The Paradise of Reincarnation, The First Sequence by Zhouzi, and Apocalypse Forecast, but I'll leave them off the list since you can find them yourselves.)
Twenty Years as a Veteran Reader, with a Keen Eye for Good Books

Books I'm Reading, Interested In, or Have Followed
I've been reading novels for years, and these days I often find myself in a reading slump. Lately, I prefer stories that focus on plot and go easy on the clichés. The writing and logic shouldn't have any major problems, and please, no awkward romance. A comfortable read is always welcome. Above all, I want something original.

It's really weird. You can't tell the taste of Qidian readers. This book is not bad at first glance. It's not even a high-quality book. I've read half of it and it's well written. However, I feel that my relationship with women is too weak. I always feel like I just passed it by talking and laughing. The emotional scenes are just you kissing me and driving by, but it doesn't leave any deep impact. Anyway, as I continued reading, I saw that the author was writing well. I continued to read and caught up with the progress immediately.
Coming from the Lord of Puro, forget this one.
Pu Luo is really a divine book, this book is hard to describe in one sentence
The writing is excellent and the settings are good, but the biggest problem is that the rhythm is poor Our strong ones will be defeated in actual combat, our wise generals will definitely miss the mark when approaching the battle, and our strategy will definitely make mistakes; the enemy will always have a back-up plan, and the back-up plan will still be there. There is a backhand, and there is a backhand of the backhand. If we really don't have the backhand, we will still let the enemy run away for one reason or another Any little villain can jump for hundreds of chapters, and he can't take it away every time. If he takes it away, there will be new ones. The forces jumped out to protect him The protagonist is always trying to die, and he suffers every time he tries to die, and then he will continue to do it next time, while thinking about whether he is too suicidal I read it after finishing the book, and I can't stand it. , If you were following it, you would probably have given up long ago. Such good writing has been wasted. I hope the author's new book will not be like this. It doesn't matter if you go shopping in Goulan, but in a war or crisis, you have to insert a story about Goulan. It's inexplicable.
I have been following several of Shala's books. Regardless of the fact that the first book was too jerky, from Give Me the Name of God to this book, The Lamp Judge, the biggest advantage is that the villains and supporting characters all have IQs, and the stories told are very exciting, and the settings are also very good, whether it is the setting of the previous book Goldfinger, or the grudge between this book and Qiongqi and the story behind Qiongqi. However, some supporting characters, especially female supporting characters, are too stereotyped. For example, when talking about Lin Qianniang, gentleness, Xia Hu, caressing, princess, and overbearing, but if this is the case, these characters will appear too pale, with no backstory and no growth. You can consider adding some extra stories to detail the growth story of the supporting characters. Even the protagonist has certain problems like this. His combat power is indeed improving, but his character and concepts don't seem to have grown much. Similarly, you can also write extras from the perspective of the villain. After all, most villains are not evil because of evil. If the stories behind these villains can be depicted, the characters will be more fleshed out. For example, Qiong Qi's portrayal is good. There is also the problem of the female protagonist. I feel that Shala wants to open a harem for the male protagonist, but in fact she cannot control so many female protagonists/female supporting characters. Sometimes she forgets about a certain female protagonist. You can consider the details. Two or three are enough. For example, in this book, Xia Hu is said to be the main palace, but her impression is not particularly outstanding. She is almost the same as Tao'er and the princess.
I believe there are still heroes
After reading novels for so many years, there are very few novels that I can really read into, and there are only a few novels that I can read deeply and be willing to read again and again. When I read it repeatedly, every plot is vividly remembered. This is the only novel. Judge Dao, the lantern man, he stands in the realm of life and death, defending heaven and justice, because of him, I believe in heaven, and I believe there are heroes! I still remember the moment when Xu Zhiqiong held a lantern and fought to the death with Liang Yuming, I still remember the scene when Xu Zhiqiong held a lantern and killed Liang Xianhong angrily, I remember the lanterns at the Hanako Festival The light illuminated the stars in the sky, I remember Xu Zhiqiong dressed as a mouse and made Miaoying give up her evil thoughts. I remember him killing Prince Tunu in anger and supporting Daxuan's backbone. I remember him fighting to the death for the people of Yunzhou. I remember Xu Zhiqiong raising the lantern again and again and shouting, "Lantern Holder Holds the Lantern!" It would be great if there were more works like this!
Thoughts after viewing
I don't know what evaluation to give at the moment. To say good things about him, he has a unique combat system, novel narrative logic, and the jokes are not obtrusive. To say he is bad, the villain often loses his wits, logic is often disconnected, and the ending is child's play. Perhaps it should be said that it is stronger than the average, and it is average than the strong.
The biggest problem with this book is that it feels uncomfortable to read.
Emmmmm let me talk about the conclusion first. It was good to read, but I gave it up several times. Apart from reading it carefully at the beginning, I jumped a lot later. I would like to share my thoughts on why the popularity of this book does not match its content. There are actually three points. The first one is that the protagonist upgrades too slowly. Of course, it would be fun to write this, but the protagonist has not dared to confront the villain once, and it is useless even once (crying to death)! The protagonist's strength has always been limited to self-preservation. On the contrary, the villain seems to have no bottleneck in upgrading his skills one by one. Sometimes I really want to think that the protagonist should just practice the evil way or something. It is strong and fast. The judge's way is special but really good (this is because the protagonist cheats so fast, no wonder the Taoist sect has withered). This makes it difficult to control the rhythm. Of course, the author is very good, and the protagonist's strength is matched every time, but it is only a passing grade, which is really a bit uncomfortable The second is the character of the protagonist, which is actually very good, but... I feel very inconsistent. Sometimes the protagonist has wisdom, but sometimes he forgets the principle of getting rid of evil, and always gives the villain a chance inexplicably. The villain is like Xiaoqiang... Then there is the issue of the protagonist's attitude towards women. Well, how should I put it? It's so frivolous. I'm not saying it's not allowed. But there can be romantic young men in the world, but the fate of a country cannot. The simplest way to put it is that the protagonist is a national idol after all, so will everyone imitate him? (Based on the ignorance created by the author's background, is it possible for the Nufu Cult to be popular? Do you think the entire Zhiqiong Cult will be possible by then?)... Actually, I think Chu Liuxiang is a good template. There are many girls around her, and the relationship is good, but most of them are in love but not polite. This kind of girl can at least be a national idol on the surface. How are Zhiqiong and Taozi doing now? I don't think it's appropriate to accept one after another. And these are all weaknesses, not only the strength of these girls will be threatened, they will be used as hostages or something. You see, if the false news of Zhiqiong's death spreads, the world will be in chaos. Then if I am a villain, I will make good use of this news. On the one hand, I will entangle Zhiqiong, and on the other hand, if the false news slips out, the world will be full of knives. It is really... Emmm The third one is the imbalance of the forces of good and evil. Every time the villain fights against the decent, he always jumps over the wall. How can I suppress this? This is really the reason why I give up repeatedly. How can the decent be like this? The villains have all the high-ranking people, and there is no shortage of power and money. Let's look at the casualties of the decent people... The five true gods are really behind the scenes. Except for the white tiger who screamed, the remaining believers will be gone and they don't care... On the contrary, the villain is really a positive one. I always feel that this attitude should be exchanged. How come there is such a truth that even the top officials are rebelling but the world is still decent... That's all, the author is still awesome, come on!
The story is a good story. The main script is very good. It is rare to see the author of Qidian write such an excellent plot. But the writing style is quite obscene. The whole book revolves around playing with women, dancing and visiting brothels, including basically all the gods and demigods in it. They are all carved out of the same mold. The atmosphere of the city is very strong. The flavor of the common people is very strong. There is no sense of spirituality or seriousness. It feels that there is no style. It is very annoying after watching it for a long time. It feels like a history of the capital city romance of young ruffians and old scumbags, with some folklore and ghosts added.
I hope to give Zhi Qiong a suitable ending. It doesn't necessarily have to be good, but it must be worthy of his original intention and mission, as well as the hardships and ups and downs along the way. Even if it is a knife in the end, I will accept it. From the initial curiosity to the daily reading, Judge Holding the Lamp has accompanied me through my last year of high school. It is indeed a good book, at least I think so. It has been almost three years since I came to Qidian. This is the only novel that a poor student like me is willing to spend money to read. Whenever I think of Xu Zhiqiong's sentence about the judge, I feel a sense of excitement in my heart. If there were more people like the protagonist in life, then the world would definitely become a better place. This is my first time to write a long review. I am not good at words and I really don't know what to say. I originally planned to wait until the end to say it, but because I was so bad at the college entrance examination, I plan to repeat it and school is about to start, so I will say a few words in advance. When Judge Holding the Lamp talks about this, I estimate that 2/3 of the plot is gone, from watching pirated copies for free to spending money to support the genuine ones. If possible, I hope I am the judge who has finished reading and finished the book, instead of sending congratulations after more than ten days. After the college entrance examination next year, if The Lamp Judge is finished, I will make up for the full subscription. If it is not finished (that is the best), I will first make up the full subscription, and then subscribe until it is finished. Finally, I wish the Lamp Judge becomes more and more popular, I wish Shala will become a great god soon, and I wish everyone's wishes will come true!
