Books I've Read Over the Years
A record of my 20 years reading web novels. I read plenty of pirated copies, and some I never finished, while others I reread several times. I was poor back then. I've forgotten the titles of many books I read and can't find them anymore. I'm writing down some personal thoughts as a way to remember, and to thank all the web novel authors I've read. Their work filled my youth and even helped improve my Chinese grades.
【Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds】Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)

Chan's Friends' Recommendations
This list is all over the place, with no consistent formula. There's only one standard: at the time, I thought the book was interesting. Maybe the setting was interesting, maybe the characters were, or maybe it was the premise. I just hope the books on my list can offer you something a little different. You can't please everyone, so these are only my personal recommendations. Please be understanding.
Fantasy, Mystery, the Supernatural, and Resurgence
This list features a selection of great new releases and popular hits. I update it regularly and highly recommend these books.

Also: I make no guarantees about the quality of chapters that come after the ones I’ve read!!! I pick a few good Sanjiang books each week.

"How am I still alive?" Setting content integration
World view: In the parallel world of 1998, the technology tree is different from the real world. The mainstream flying tool is the huge and slow steam airship, and the portable communication system appeared early. Mobile networks also appeared earlier, but the pace of evolution was hindered. Various forums and websites are always text-based, and pictures can only be posted with administrator permissions. All communication is limited to websites and forums, and there is no direct communication software between individuals. Text messages that must go through the network administrator's server have become the mainstream of communication. There is irreversible pollution that is suspected to be caused by an unknown world of origin. There are gods, and those recognized by humans are the righteous gods who can establish churches and conduct investment and trade. Incidents of supernatural pollution are increasing, the military is severely understaffed, the regime is on the verge of collapse, and a storm is about to come. There is an extraordinary professional who possesses the power of controllable pollution awakening and develops through the path of gods - the secret keeper.
A letter to the squirrel:
Squirrel, you are a very thoughtful and creative author, and one of the few non-traditional writers. I also started reading your books from Lich, so I hope you can get better! First, your creativity and ideas are undoubted, but precisely because you have too many ideas, the books after Lich have just become narratives of creativity and ideas. It feels like reading an outline. All the characters are written around the protagonist, and other supporting characters are not even described in detail. The story progresses at will and too fast. This is fatal, because sooner or later your ideas and creativity will run out, and you will become more and more mediocre, and then disappear from the crowd. You, like Sansanliangjue, are both talented writers. From the first book that was not on the shelves, I saw you step by step and become a great writer. You have this talent, but you have not turned your talent into your achievements. Second, the characters, such as your book, actually each character has his own story. They do not exist for the protagonist. To be honest, your description of the supporting characters is really poor, because all the supporting characters do not have their own thoughts, lives, and personalities. This is a painful problem for many writers of cool stories, but I can feel that what you want to write is not a cool story, but simply to earn some royalties. You are an author who wants to write a good story. It is recommended to describe all the main supporting characters through dialogue, flashbacks, etc. Third, plot, if you can slow down the plot, the book should be one or two million words long, you can make more money, and readers can read a better story. You move the plot too fast, causing a book to be full of climaxes, without foreplay, and become a running account of a list, just like that. The readers are not happy, and neither are you. Fourth, first person. The advantage of first person is that you can arrange the plot as you like and promote the plot. However, in this way, the story is just the story of the protagonist. You have not built a real world and have no sense of immersion. What readers can see are your thoughts and ideas, but this is putting the cart before the horse. Ideas and ideas serve the story, not a book full of ideas and ideas. If you have time, you can study for three days. It does not mean that other authors are not good, but that you are all talented players. You do not need to learn his story, but the way the story and characters are described, and the plot is promoted, you will become a better author. I hope you can change yourself, you can write your own thoughts, and I can see better stories.
The difference between this book and Squirrel's previous works
The protagonist of this book is different from the protagonists of Squirrel's previous books. Jiang Shang, the protagonist of "The End of the World", whose parents disappeared during a certain mission, is basically dead. Humans in that world are basically the livestock of the gods. From time to time, evil gods go crazy, and if you are unlucky, a city will disappear. Human beings with abilities also discriminate against ordinary people. There is a naked law of the jungle among the same race. For the sake of outstanding offspring, you are forced to designate a partner. The protagonist's sister is about to be assigned to other strong people in the name of the future of mankind. The protagonist's obsession is to use his abilities and wisdom to change this bad world. "Sword Master for All" is a slightly less miserable version of "The Last Days Hunter", or it is the "Endgame God Hunter" that has a good effect of enthroning gods. At the beginning of the main film, people are no longer so miserable (of course the protagonist's past life memories of various monsters and monsters are comparable to those in "The Last Days Hunter"), but it is still a dangerous world. If you are unlucky, a powerful monster will appear and disappear in a city. The protagonist's obsession is the unfinished plan of the previous life and saving the master. "Watcher Warrior" is similar, in which various monsters and monsters in the world threaten human survival. The protagonist's own skills are so strong that he is ostracized by his family. It is speculated that it may be because his summoning skills are too powerful, and he can summon an incredible being to cause trouble at any time. In Warhammer, it is a humanoid subspace portal, which is very annoying. One main line is to solve the problem of losing control of one's own abilities. "Crazy Knight", in the opening scene, the parents run away, the sister dies, and the main plot becomes stronger to find out the murderer behind the scenes. Moreover, the protagonist is actually very sane, not as crazy as Roland. Among all the protagonists of "Crazy Lich", he is the most important one and the one with the most bitter hatred. He died four times. Each time, he did not die well and had no peace after death. The four fake corpses showed how deep his resentment was. Therefore, he was also the most insane of all the protagonists. It can be said that before Li Huowang, Luo Lan was a sage of epilepsy. Four lives, four soul imprints, countless friends and enemies, brought about such a strong obsession that the God of Death couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to help this unlucky child. Let's go back to Lu Ping'an in this book. He solved cancer at the beginning and ate a demigod alive. Originally, there were many people who coveted the demigod's heritage and needed to become stronger to protect themselves. After opening the different world dungeon, not many people cared about it. Everyone went to the advanced dungeon to kill monsters. Now Lu Ping'an's parents don't have to worry, and he himself is safe. My character is like lying down, saying I want to become stronger, but in fact I can live a comfortable life without getting stronger. After all, a banker, if you have enough money, you only need money to make money, and you can make money lying down. There is no obsession like other protagonists, and the driving force of the plot is weak. From the beginning to now, pushing the map feels like wandering around in an open world without a clear structure. It is the character design of the protagonist of this book that makes the look and feel completely different from the previous books.
"Lu Ping'an is sleeping"
Go to the end of Crazy Lich to promote it, make a guarantee that this book will not be jailed, and then contact a few gay authors. When there are 30 or 40 chapters, we will have a chapter promotion to promote it. These days, the fragrance of wine is afraid of deep alleys, not to mention you have a criminal record.
In fact, I refused to read this book at first. It had a cliché title and a cliché introduction. I thought this was Long Aotian who kept trying to die but couldn't die. But after reading the second chapter, I found that I was wrong. There is something about this author. At certain points, my hair stood on end and my scalp went numb. It smelled so good~~~ I admit my mistake Probably starting from Chapter 22, the plot started to become more and more boring. , Yes, in my opinion, the plot of chapters 22 to 46 can be ignored at all. It is a lot of nonsense. The protagonist is getting closer and closer to the deadline. There is neither a touching hard work nor a funny joke. He is preparing for the exam but not taking it seriously. He always wants to take shortcuts and enhance his abilities but only bullies bad people. If you have the ability to fight a small boss, beating the monsters will lead to a happy life? The plot is dragging, and I haven't been able to move on. I still don't know how the protagonist, the life bank, can increase his life points. Maybe it's because the first dozen chapters are so well written, but the rest until chapter 46 makes me feel like it's a complete mess. Finally, let's talk about the protagonist. At the beginning, I thought the protagonist was a good boy. Really, there is great terror between life and death. Not everyone has the courage to live towards death and grab the throat of fate. I think such people have achieved something, and it is natural. But after reading Chapter 22, I thought about it, maybe the protagonist is really just a lucky guy with unlucky luck. After all, except for some cities, there is no other person. His humanity shines brightly, and by Chapter 46, the latest chapters, I suddenly discovered that this protagonist is an easy-to-disguise psychopath, hiding extreme madness and violence under a smooth outer skin, just like the lunatic protagonist in "Red Moon" who is hidden in the crowd. In short, there are only a dozen chapters of the plot, but the sense of fragmentation is too strong. I can't help but ask the author what kind of protagonist he wants to write? I really can't understand it…
This author really shouldn't write all those fancy settings. Crazy Lich is just an ordinary Western fantasy background. Why do people like to watch it? Is there really any top-notch novel setting in Western fantasy? Mad Lich is popular because its characters are flesh-and-blood. They can make you laugh when it's funny, and they can be serious when they're serious. The growth of the protagonist is not well written in each book. The Crazy Lich is reincarnated for the fourth time and has precognition. When it comes to the Crazy Knight, the protagonist's combat power depends entirely on supplementary settings. In the end, he suddenly becomes a god. There is still some growth in the early stage of National Sword Master. In the middle and late stages, the Red King increases his strength to supplement the background and then the Red King continues until the end. The character growth in several books is too slow and far below the development of the world view. It is no longer possible to write about the mad lich's passion for revenge against God. The mad knight and sword master have no basic main plot. At best, a small branch plot is completed at the end, leaving only a huge world view.
Squirrel's books have always been so high and low. I have read all of them, Crazy Lich, Crazy Knight, and National Sword Master. Of course, there is also this book that I can't stand until the 700th chapter. The setting of each book is very grand, and then the early development continues to the small climax, such as Roland Ascends the God and Zheng Li's Sacrifice Lu Ping'an Hospital's counter-attack is very complete and coherent, connecting all the previous points in one breath. However, the characteristics of the characters become more and more blurred the further you go. Fortunately for Crazy Lich, National Sword Master and this book are like this. They originally created very full characters in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, there is only one name left. So, so, so, how, so, so, how, etc., Either can only throw out new settings, or just like a running account. Crazy Lich is very well written, but When it comes to National Sword Master and this book, it becomes a mad knight again. The values explode. After writing, only the big boss is left. All the previous characters have no sense of existence, as if they are dead. I really hope that Squirrel will think about how to write and see why the mad lich is well written. Even if the setting almost improves the completeness of the entire book, the full score in the front and the zero score in the end still fail. If I had not read the book, I would not read this book again.
Although I have not read this book, I know after reading the current comments that the author has committed his old habit again. I used to watch Crazy Knight and Watchmen Wu. The author always throws out settings and then explains them throughout. Alas, I have no shame to say it. The article seems to be displeased with the mountains. We read online articles hoping to see interesting plots, rather than the author's explanation of the setting. Another chapter is confusing. The ups and downs are the business online articles we like to read! ! ! ! ! ! Some of the farming novels I have read, such as Jin Lin Kai or Ming Dynasty Imperial Master, are much better than this squirrel explaining the setting background, but the plot is weak and pulpy. You can use foreshadowing to slowly develop the plot, you can start slowly, but you absolutely can't explain the settings all day long, and there is no plot, and there is no sense of substitution. I don't even remember who the main characters are, because the character settings need plot support to be full. You can explain the policies all day long and how they will affect the protagonist. Please, what we like to read is that we like to see mountains but not peace. Who cares how you explain the settings! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! What will happen if there are more people loading 13? What about more ups and downs? Forget it, having said that, I didn't read this book anyway. I just remembered my younger self during the years when I watched Crazy Knight and Watcher Wu. I'm about to finish my third year of running. Alas, I hope the author can change it. If he doesn't change it, it has nothing to do with me. Goodbye.
