Sharing: Intriguing Premises and Stories I Love
These are novels I picked out from my bookshelf that I think are good and might reread someday. (Though I always think I will, I’ve never actually finished a second read.) P.S. Work and school are completely different. I don’t seem to be able to reread books anymore. I’m always looking for something fresh to take my mind off the endless exams at work. Such a shame. As for why I made this list, I just thought of it in the middle of the night. (To clarify, that was a middle-of-the-night thought

Underrated Gems for a Reading Slump (For Kindred Spirits, Only the Best)
I recommend every book on this list only after subscribing to it myself. I've left out some books with overly plain writing and titles that everyone already knows.
A Casual Reading List: Either the Blurb or the Story Is Unbeatable
2024.11.5: I noticed something interesting. The review sections often have comments asking for a “shennong,” a reader who can test whether a book is worth reading, but comments like that can make authors defensive. Recently I saw someone write, “This book is pretty good. Why are so few people reading it?” That way, the author doesn't feel awkward responding, and it can bring out some genuine opinions. Pretty interesting. 2024.9.8: I just remembered I had a book list. Time to resurrect it. 2023.5
Ten-Year Bookworm Guarantee: New and Old Books in Every Genre, Worth a Look
A record of some great books I’ve read. A book’s quality isn’t measured by how many words it has. I’ll update this whenever I can, and I won’t let you down. Fantasy, xianxia, sci-fi, online games, urban fiction, fanfiction (The authors’ other books are good too.) The older books are mostly the best of the best. Some of the newer additions may not be as good, but they’re still worth a look if you’re out of reading material. Also, you definitely have to turn your brain off for power fantasies. Fi

Having been holed up in Mofan Town for days, the protagonist hadn't gathered any information, only knowing that someone was sacrificing young girls. All this effort had yielded less information than a few direct questions. Frankly, aside from eavesdropping a few times on the first night, the protagonist had spent the rest of his time eating, sleeping, and watching—well, watching.
To be honest, I regret subscribing so much. I won't be able to watch it in the middle and later stages.
It was so weird in the early days and the death rate was so high. I really don't know how wizards without Goldfinger could develop. It's illogical for this civilization to develop to such a high level! The stage when the wizard tower collapsed was too random to advance to a level, and the mentor's intelligence was too powerful.
The writing is actually not bad, but this kind of story always focuses on death for the sake of death! Unless it's on a battlefield, there shouldn't be such a high mortality rate for the protagonist in chaotic times. Otherwise, if the mortality rate were higher than the birth rate, the population would have been wiped out long ago!
The author wrote very well during the early period of the wizard's apprenticeship. Weird and terrifying scenes + depressing and tense atmosphere + suspenseful exploration jointly create a very attractive wizarding world. However, after the protagonist became an official wizard, the author seemed to have difficulty controlling this book.
The palace intrigue at the Mage Tower involved replacing a group of women with so-called mages.
I feel like the part about sleeping with the wind demon is really...? I believe most people who can see this part are fans of no female lead or single female lead stories. Those who like harem stories probably ran away early on. So who is this story written for?
From chapter 113 until now, the protagonist has not grown at all. The plot suddenly slowed down, became rambling and full of tender descriptions of the senior, instantly losing the cold tone of the wizarding world. The boss evil spirit was completely fooled and didn't feel any sense of sophistication. I think the author wants to drop the subscription, so I'm leaving now.
Why does it feel like the author is being sabotaged? How can someone call this such authentic wizarding fiction padded and boring? The imagination, writing style, and logic are clearly on a completely different level from mass-produced works from studios. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it; the rankings seem so fake.
The book is quite engaging so far, but too much attention has been spent on the wizard apprentices... The author has repeatedly emphasized that there's essentially no difference between wizard apprentices, but focusing so much on supernatural elements and abilities during the apprenticeship phase makes it difficult to write compelling stories about skill advancement later on. It's highly likely the later chapters will become repetitive, casting doubt on the book's future.
Given the high mortality rate in the wizarding world, how does it maintain its current social structure? It feels like wizards of any level die very easily.
