These are the books I've been following lately. They're all different genres and picked entirely according to my own tastes. Most are new or early-stage books, so please don't be harsh if they're not for you. If you know any good ones, feel free to recommend them! I've recently started working, so I may have less time to read. Updates to the list may be sporadic.

Over two hundred chapters and the protagonist is still only eight years old? A small assassination every three days, a major one every five days—the capital city the author depicts is more chaotic than Syria! Over two hundred and forty chapters in, the emperor stays overnight at the Jia family's residence with his concubine, then kills over two hundred and forty assassins.
Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth; how could the Jia family dare to publicize that? If you dare to be born with jade in your mouth today, will you dare to accept a mandate from heaven tomorrow?
This is ridiculous! A cult could besiege nobles in the capital for four hours before reinforcements arrived, and Japanese pirates could disguise themselves as refugees, bring cannons, and besiege nobles in the capital, even killing thousands of elite imperial guards. Is your capital completely undefended? Or is your regime on the verge of collapse with no one in charge?
I just want to know how many readers believe that Jia She was granted the title of Marquis by the Emperor, and how many readers believe that Jia She was the Crown Prince's study companion. That's hilarious! Can't you even tell the difference between "Zi Enhou" and "Yu Ci Enhou"? Sorry, my poison resistance is low; I couldn't even finish the first chapter, page two. And Sanjiang truly lives up to its name. Awesome!
Everything else in this book is great, but the main character is always a child? I saw it was about to be put on the shelves, and it's for kids? This part is really toxic, especially in historical fiction where the main character is always a child—it's unbearable. That's a major flaw. Everything else is fine, though. If you can tolerate it, you can definitely check it out.
It's a pity that this cat is so mischievous, just lazing around all day and not updating much at all, which is really annoying.
I couldn't stand the scene where Jia Baoyu was beaten. It's fine to create fan fiction for some supporting characters in the original work, but can the protagonist, Jia Baoyu, be subject to fan fiction? He and Qi Guan even swapped the handkerchiefs at their waists—does that mean they didn't have a relationship? Does that mean he's not into homosexuality?
This book is written like a play on stage. In the process of expressing myself, I often get carried away with my emotions. It's similar to saying "You bad person." It has become "You disgusting, wrathful, wicked sinner, your sins are despised by heaven and earth."
Why acknowledge Jia He as the protagonist's father? His lust is undeniable, but his wickedness is appalling. When Jia He coveted Shi Daizi's fan, he had Jia Yucun frame him, resulting in his imprisonment. Furthermore, because he owed the Sun family 5000 taels of silver, he used Yingchun as collateral, leading to Yingchun's brutal torture to death!
The scene in Chapter 79 where the national anthem is sung is a complete failure. Even replacing it with "Imperial Jade Liquor" would have been a better design. The lyrics of the national anthem are dangerous. Does the author think that the characters in the novel and the readers outside the novel don't have any intelligence?
