A Ten-Year Veteran Reader's Just-for-Fun Book List
No illogical protagonists with an innate aura of stupidity. I've personally tried every book here, and they're all great.
My Personal Picks: The Best of the Best, Half of Them Obscure and Niche
A little of everything, from niche and obscure to classics. I started reading Water Margin: The Sequel in third grade, and now I've been reading for a full 33 years. I've read countless novels. There are plenty of good books I can't think of right now, as well as books I remember being decent but have forgotten, so I'll add them as they come back to me. Basically, three stars means they're worth a read; don't expect any five-star ratings. Here are some I'm following lately.

Here's a suggestion for the author: the main character has a full name. Don't introduce yourself as Ah Hao to everyone. It looks awkward, especially when meeting someone for the first time without mentioning your full name. This isn't normal interpersonal communication.
Alchemy has always been a niche but incredibly promising subject, demanding a high level of creativity and knowledge from the author. I've read quite a few, but only Li Ang's book left a lasting impression. Li Ang's alchemy is limited by the principle of equivalent exchange, but this book doesn't adhere to that limitation as strictly.
Have you read the latest chapter? The world-building has unfolded, and the transmutation array has made its appearance! I'm so excited, everyone! Just a little more reading and it'll take off! 🛫
I don't understand. On one hand, they say they want to hide their sage identity, but on the other hand, they move into the house meant for sages, hire a family butler and maid, and throw parties. They also flaunt their elder status in public. It's really all for nothing!
Having read up to chapter seventeen, all I can say is that if the author wants to give the protagonist this clichéd, all-powerful, and unpredictable setup, then please create a correspondingly harsh environment where everyone is evil and no one can help them. Instead, create a law-abiding and friendly environment for the protagonist. Someone selflessly opens the door for you twice, and you're then suspected of having ulterior motives? If it were me, I'd kick you out and never speak to you again.
I've added it to my favorites, invested in it, voted, followed it, commented on it, and even subscribed. I've done almost everything I could. Now it's your turn, author! The donkeys in the production team have basically been used to make donkey meat sandwiches, and you've only updated this little bit?! But looking back, I'd rather it be more exciting than too bland! The angle and concept are unique; don't let it fall behind!
The protagonist, according to the established setting, should be a learned and talented individual who opens the door to truth. Even if he comes from a poor background, he should still be a seeker of knowledge, so why does he seem so comical? His advancement in the door also seems rather haphazard. It just feels quite incongruous.
In a world dominated by mindless novels like system novels, simulator novels, and rehashed fanfiction, the emergence of an original, novel, interesting, and well-written novel like this is as rare as finding gold in a latrine!
Why, why do these hidden gems with reasonable, niche worldviews always end up like this after you've read them all?! Why?! 😱😱😱
The more I read, the stranger it seemed; various minor flaws accumulated, and now, looking back, it all seems increasingly off. First of all, the native protagonist is a really bad concept. The author is good at using references, but the native protagonist cuts off any possibility of responding to them. You can't express your opinions, which is the first thing that makes it hard to watch.
