Books I've read, clearing out my bookshelf
A Feast Worth Savoring
A collection of great books full of personal favorites. Since there aren't ten yet, I may pad it out a bit. I've noticed that the very best books often have terrible openings (annoyed).

Books that are easy and enjoyable to read, or feel fresh and original. These are mainly ones I'm reading lately. I'll add some great books I've been saving up once I've caught up with their updates.
How Is the Game World So Beautiful? Isn't This the Protagonist's Role? Maybe We Should Check on the Players in the Distance
Game-world fantasy: the protagonist transmigrates into a game, then either quietly builds up their strength or makes waves, interferes with the original story, and changes the tragedies to come... They may also have to outwit players who don't play by the rules.
Power Fantasies You Can Read with Your Brain Turned On (Mostly Fantasy and Historical)
Wish-fulfillment novels you can enjoy without having to view web fiction through rose-colored glasses. After making this list, I ended up following every one of these books myself.

I think the first to the fifty-eighth chapter is just the right amount of material to make a season of an American TV series. The fifty-eighth chapter is like the season finale. The pacing is fantastic, and it really gives you the feeling of watching an American TV series. Moreover, the author's writing is very vivid.
Good writing. This writer must be quite skilled. Keep it up!
I've read over 180 pages. The beginning had some mystery, but the later parts became rather dull. They should have just chosen one between Cthulhu stories and games; the author also had to include his views on history and politics in the book. As a result, it feels more like a fantasy story with a perpetually elderly grandfather figure...
Speculation about the identity of "Theseus" Theseus, messenger of the ancient land, unseen god of fate, weaver of farcical dramas, singer of the lost gods, father of the forgotten tribe, master of a thousand faces and a thousand transformations. Currently, Theseus's obedience corresponds to the protagonist's two identities.
Having read up to chapter 280, I feel the plot is overly verbose. The descriptions of unimportant supporting characters, settings, and inner thoughts are excessively detailed, causing the main storyline to progress very slowly. The entire work lacks a clear or easily understood climax, feeling quite bland. The protagonist has no memorable moments, and the character interactions lack any truly impactful scenes; it's genuinely very uneventful.
The first 100+ chapters were really good; the world-building unfolded gradually, and the power system was quite interesting and innovative. However, the quality noticeably declined after the "Rats in the Wall" arc, and the pacing between the war and the rescue of Seren became problematic.
Ugh, how did it turn into a military story later on? Unbelievable.
While listening, I vaguely had a dream. I originally wanted to write it down, but the more I thought about it, the more blurred the details became, so all that's left is this draft...
The beginning was quite good, but the latter part was incredibly long and tedious. The minor events dragged on for far too long—longer than the documents I was reviewing. It was utterly unpleasant and more boring than reading documents at work.
Honestly, given the current state of Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), it's rare to find books with such a strong Western fantasy flavor.
