Good Books (Please Don't Send Flowers, They're Not Much Use)
Giving gifts to characters is like tipping the author. I just don't know whether the exact rates differ. The pinnacle, the top of the pyramid: highly recommended Fly Beyond Thirty Years The Magic User of the Clow Cards The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Mythic Form Bloodline of the Kingdom Forty Millennia of Cultivation Above the Dome I'm a Killer App, complete set The Divine Assistant of Another World (To be continued)
My Complete Reading List
All kinds of genres. Not comprehensive, but not bad either.
Daily Read Test ( ・᷄Ὢ・᷅)
A reading list with actual plot descriptions. I'm tired of lists that tell you nothing, even after you read them. You can't even tell what the protagonist does (ꐦÒ‸Ó). I've put some descriptions in the comments ╮( •́ω•̀ )╭
Long Live the Rising Stars
I’ll gradually add all sorts of genres. My tastes are pretty eclectic, but I generally avoid harems.
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.

Bo Yun's Reading List
The books I hate most are the ones people say “get better as they go” or “are really well written, except for a few rough patches at the beginning.” Then I click in and think, “Just a few rough patches?” Ever heard of the all-important first three chapters? If it’s not clichéd, I can give it a shot. But if it’s toxic, I’m not sticking around to get poisoned! I treat comments like that as paid shilling. I just visited the book-list page and realized that people still browsing it must be as starve

White-haired soldiers in an isolated city thousands of miles away, for whom does the Qiang flute sound? The remaining tents dream of Qinchuan willows at night, and the solitary flag is frosty in the morning at Xizhou Camp. Xuan Ge guards the mountains and rivers, and buries his bones in the yellow sand and commits suicide. I wonder if the Holy Emperor of Chang'an can remember the name of Gu Zhong in Jueyu?
Linpingan·Feelings There were a few years ago when the white hair was white, and the branches on the road refused to rest. In the daytime, a thousand miles away, I sigh at the abundance of flowers and the breath of butterflies. Qingfeng has gone, his hair has faded, he has achieved fame, and he has been wandering for half his life, all with the eastward flow. Asking the people about their sufferings, seventy years of bloody frontier fortresses, who knows, knows something, understands? The rain stopped on the three windows, the wind fluttered, and Sichuan was free and happy. Spring is gone, but has it come yet? Jiang Ling hates to say goodbye, Yu Xin is worried about Fu, and they both go north. Su Di is exhausted by the wind and rain, sighing and wandering to his homeland. He keeps mumbling to no avail, and the rain cries at dusk. On Christmas Eve, in the sound of broken bells, who can relieve your sorrow? You are showing your ugliness. 🙂
After drinking, I wrote a poem to express my congratulations to my husband.
Po Zhenzi·Anxi The wind and smoke rolled over the border, and there was thunder in the desert north. The soldiers approached the city and refused to retreat. Three thousand remnants of robes lived and died together, and the setting sun reflected the lonely red. The enemy captives' swords are stained with blood, and they are all alone in white clothes in the border town. I slaughtered ninety million thieves and bandits, and I won't be able to live up to this life unless I teach the world to forget Beiting. Huayong book friend "Master Yuankong"'s poem "If you don't teach the world to forget Beiting"
When I first read it, I thought some places were unreasonable. For example, when defending a city, you only have experience in killing enemies inside the city, but not outside the city... Generally, defending a city is fought outside the city, and street fighting is usually guerrilla warfare fought only when the defense cannot be defended...
I couldn't describe the feeling of thousands of troops avoiding the white robes. It's a cool novel about upgrading the variant.
Scenery The princes are competing for the deer and the heroes are rising, and the people in the scenery are united in their hearts and Mount Tai is moving. Two armies marched to attack Liang and Tang Dynasties, and Anxi was defeated with fireworks. A sharp soldier loses only one battle in a hundred battles, and the sea of sand is like a flat road for thousands of miles. At dusk, the wild wilderness is treated lightly by you, and aspiration to conquer the Central Plains is like a king's arrival!
Wind·Guoyang·Looking to the Tang Dynasty The beacon smoke rises and the soldiers are fighting, heartbroken, and the iron armor is flying; The lonely city is quiet, the guns and spears are bright, and the Qin opera is heard, the Tang flag is still mad despite the old heart; The sound of the golden drums ripples, and the strong men swear to guard in their old age Frontier; The bright swords are clanging, and the loyal and brave three thousand are bleeding; Qilu·North Court is mighty Breaking the city is also a common thing for soldiers, so why do you think of pain and injury when killing the enemy; Since ancient times, generals died on the battlefield, how could they die in bed? White clothes alone hold the empty city compartment, breaking the army and the sky fire becomes yang at night; Beiting's trumpet spreads across the desert, and the thieves are famous and frightened.
If the title of the book does not have the word "I", the artistic conception will be much higher. If the word "I" is added, the author thinks it is very powerful. Is it strong to defend the city alone? It will only show that the male protagonist is unpopular and cannot be recognized by others to help him.
When the author first chose the route of empress, I felt that the author chose a difficult path for himself. It is rare for male channel authors to be able to write female characters well, not to mention the empress type. Most of the empresses written by male channels are the type of mindless flower vase harem. One word is, poison! (It's not that I don't look down on you, the author, it's just that it's really difficult to write.) The setting of this book is to develop a female empress-like, which is even more difficult. If you don't arrange an emotional scene with the protagonist when you write about this empress, then the readers will definitely get into trouble. If someone who was raised by one hand follows someone else, it will be very poisonous to the readers of male videos. But the protagonist is not allowed to leave the lonely city, so does the empress have to stay with the protagonist in the lonely city forever? Then the lonely city is no longer a lonely city, but a kingdom. If the empress doesn't stay here, then the protagonist and the empress are always separated, so why are they together? If it is arranged to give birth to a son to inherit the throne, and the empress abdicates to accompany the protagonist, then the empress will be useless. What is the difference between a pendant for the protagonist? The author probably also felt that the emotional drama of the empress was too difficult to arrange, so he changed it to the emperor, and then it became a simple and direct profit cooperation. After that, the protagonist can do whatever he wants without any emotional burden, and the plot can be arranged as he wants. Later, I want to arrange for the female protagonist to have much more freedom. She can set up an orphan status and follow the male protagonist without any worries, and guard the isolated city together. The difficulty of character development is much smaller.
White clothes and bronze swords guard Anxi, and the rain is shrill and overgrown with vegetation. In the future, Jingjun will slaughter Beiting. How dare he march with thousands of troops?
