Lighthearted, Offbeat Picks for Veteran Reader Black Cat Jue
These days, I prefer books that feel fresh. Something lighthearted is even better. Lately I've been into farming and development stories, fan fiction, historical tech, and the like. The ratings are for books I've read at least part of. If I kept reading, it means I could get through at least the beginning, so none are rated below 5. Books rated 5–6 usually fell apart later or became ridiculously padded, XXX, so I changed their ratings.
Decisive and Ruthless, but Not Brain-Dead or Illogical
Sharing some books I have read and found worthwhile. Do not blindly hit the dislike button and make it look as though I recommend nonsense. The shortcomings of each book are clearly stated in its description, so do not mislead future readers, especially with The Mage of the Late Qing.
The Three-Flower Cat's Study
The comments on this list reflect only my personal impressions. If you disagree, I agree with you, because sometimes I look back and disagree with my own comments too. Some books start strong but fall apart later. I'm also pretty lazy, and editing the list means waiting for approval. Going back and forth is too much trouble, so I'll just leave it as is.

Some Pretty Good Science Fiction Novels
A blend of technology and fantasy, chosen from a wide range of reading and with care. Fellow readers, this is a science fiction list, so please don't recommend other genres. On the old version, saving a list meant following it. On the new Qidian version, tap the star below. If it turns red, you've saved the list.
Reading Until the Early Hours
These recommendations are based entirely on my personal taste! If you disagree, feel free not to read them. Just click the X and leave, thanks! O_o For ongoing and completed works, I only recommend books over 500,000 characters, unless a new book is especially good! I try to recommend books that have already gone paid. In the long run, I hope you'll recommend some cheerful books: absurd, imaginative comedies with quirky ideas! The writing should be decent and the logic should mostly hold togethe

A 20-Year Veteran Reader's Treasured List
When I was little, I'd flip through my grandpa's bookcase and read the Three Words and Two Slaps. A little older, I'd hang around Xinhua Bookstores reading all kinds of classics. Later, I saved up to buy Jin Yong and Gu Long's wuxia novels. You can never finish reading all the books in a lifetime ♥

I've decided to stop reading after chapter 180. From the moment the protagonist goes to Hong Kong, the entire text is in Cantonese. I came here to read a novel, not to guess riddles! Why wasn't the protagonist's previous trips to America and Japan written in English or Japanese? I think the author has gotten arrogant; is this written for people in Hong Kong and Macau?
You can't read this book like other late Qing dynasty novels. You have to read it like a GTA game. That'll give it its charm.
I met a 30-year-old woman on Bilibili. We chatted... We've been getting along very well for the past six months, and today she suggested we meet. Faced with that, I hesitated. I said you have a family, and it didn't feel right. Okay, but she said it was fine, we could just be friends, so I... I agreed and asked her for a photo; she looked quite pretty.
It was incredibly enjoyable to read. It's the only novel I've ever read from beginning to end without ever reading any pirated copies. Reading pirated versions would be an insult to this novel.
Judging from what the protagonist has done so far, it seems impressive, but in reality, it has no impact on the foundation of the great powers. While improving the protagonist's own strength, the author should not forget to develop the protagonist's power, because one person can hardly achieve great things in the end.
This book is very well written, but it's a pity it was published on Qidian. In the end, I guess it won't change any history. Thinking about that, I have no desire to continue reading.
Could you support that guy surnamed Du and kill that guy surnamed Zhang? Without him, the world would stop turning? Stop with the fatalism, okay? Maybe that Japanese officer you casually killed is someone who will become a general in the future. You've already changed a lot of history. Don't be like *A Step into the Past*. Even if you can't write it explicitly, you can at least use a few words to depict it indirectly. The guy surnamed Du killed the guy surnamed Zhang.
It's pretty good, but the plot after the town is established seems to lack an outline, which is a bit confusing. It's unclear what the protagonist wants to do, and it seems to be going about things in a haphazard way. Whether it's the world in the diary or the real world...
Having read over 400 chapters, I always feel like the protagonist is either showing off or on his way to show off, without any intention of improving his abilities. For example, his marksmanship—he relies entirely on his glasses for aiming, and once the glasses break, he's useless. After using the gun for so long, he should at least have a feel for it, if not perfect.
Every time I read books from the late Qing Dynasty, I don't dare to continue, no matter how good they seem. In that chaotic era, if you didn't become a king, a hegemon, and a powerful force, it was hard to survive and you felt stifled. But when we tried to expand and strengthen our business, they wouldn't let us write anything; eventually, all the books disappeared.
