Keep Your Chin Up, or You'll Lose Your Crown: A Cure for Reading Slumps
I'll protect the gems in the urban fiction category! Don't hang your head, or your crown will fall. Don't cry, or your enemies will laugh. Only hardship gives you the strength to bounce back from rock bottom and the right to soar through the heavens. I love all kinds of urban fiction, from calm, laid-back stories to dramatic, life-and-death adventures. P.S. The genres mentioned above are just my personal tastes. Accepting ads and books to test-read.

Grateful for Life's Hardships
The lotus blossoms have fallen, and the sky merges with the water; at dusk, dark waves rise. A pair of swallows fly away, their wings brushing the cold clouds; alone, I lean on the railing at the east side of my little tower. In this fleeting life, I should simply grow old over wine, while snow blankets the roads of Chang'an. Old friend, when will you climb the high terrace and send me a plum blossom, a branch of spring from south of the Yangtze?
Books I've Read
Books that make you forget time is passing
Gems, Rebirth, Xianxia, Industry, Showbiz, and the Internet
Great ideas, excellent writing, and consistent updates. (The list only has room for 50 books, so I'm trying to choose ones that update regularly. The platform limits the list's visibility, so it doesn't show up in searches. When no one can find it, there's little motivation to keep updating.)
Rare Finds
No restrictions on genre. These are novels I’ve read and think are worth checking out. No promising new stories here: I’m still raising those myself, and whether they’re any good is another matter. I don’t update often, and only add books that really suit my taste. Hope you enjoy them.

When I saw the female lead was Yammie Lam, I gave up immediately. It was pointless. I couldn't understand the author's thinking. She's the child of a high-ranking Beijing official, works so hard, and has a cheat-like advantage, but ends up marrying a minor Hong Kong actress. And this isn't even an entertainment novel. Sigh.
I think it's very well written. Don't listen to what others say about going back to find girls as soon as you get back. When you're back to those passionate days, you should do things you won't regret. Dating should be a natural progression, but thinking about finding girls all the time is a bit odd. Everyone has big ambitions, right? Keep it up! Update more often!
I'm just wondering, given the protagonist's family background and abilities, why did he abandon politics for business? Why not take the golden road instead of the crooked path?
What's wrong with authors writing fanfiction these days? They can't write without copying the plot. Wherever Zhong Yuemin goes, you go too. Why give up a good military job to go to the countryside? Is he your father? The reason fanfiction attracts readers is that they hope the author can add their own elements to the original work.
How did you suddenly veer into Hong Kong entertainment news? And you even married an actress (don't tell me she wasn't when we met, who knows if she'll be the lead in the future?). Who the hell do you think you are? Marrying a Hong Kong woman because your father's political career is too long? Or do you think you're so powerful that it doesn't matter?
The protagonist the author wrote is utterly useless; it feels like he'd be better off without him. It's too toxic to bear.
This book is a pity. The subject matter is good, but the problems are too fatal. Let me just mention two points. First and foremost is the crucial cheat code: from early-game queue jumping to later diplomatic pursuits, this portable space served absolutely no purpose. The only thing it acquired—a few antiques—had absolutely no connection to the main plot.
The protagonist's life was so humble.
Is it due to the author's influence that the protagonist is always so humble? Whenever the protagonist encounters someone, whether they have achieved something or not, and are older than him, he addresses them with the utmost respect, bows deeply, and greets them with a smile. Even if someone speaks rudely to him, he simply ignores it! And this is true at any stage of life.
Seeing the protagonist collecting antiques made me think it was sometime in the 80s or 90s, but it turns out it's only the 60s. What's the point of watching it later? And is the protagonist collecting antiques to use for retirement?
Looking at the comments section, it's clear that there aren't many authors like the one who are constantly criticized, whose writing style remains unchanged, and who don't raise the bar for comments. It feels like it was written purely for my own amusement.
