A little list of novels I’m following. I’ll try to recommend books that are still updating. Main picks: Sci-fi, anime and manga, and young adult romance I like novels with expansive worlds and a comedic tone. The protagonist doesn’t have to be smart, but they can’t be an idiot. I hope everyone can build up their tolerance for bad books. There aren’t many authors who can write a great opening and blurb, but plenty can write a good story. Don’t leave just because I update the list slowlyヽ(≧Д≦)ノ D

Sunny and Rainy Book List
Um, I guess I'm a longtime reader by now. Here's a list of some books I've read that I thought were pretty good, along with a few I'd warn people away from. Some books have great stats, but didn't suit my taste. I also have a few I'd like to call out for not living up to their reputations, so I'll give them their own section here instead of saying so in the authors' comment sections. I'm not too picky about what I read. What I care about most is whether the prose flows smoothly, so there's a bit

Multiple heroines. They may not all be masterpieces, but at least they have something going for them. The ones rated seven stars are generally worth recommending.

Subtle, Tender Romance #Multiple Heroines
Multiple female leads, nuanced romance, and well-rounded characters. Not dumbed-down fiction. I recommend only one or two books per author. Characterization, plot design, and atmosphere are all above average. (Also, every author pads their work to some degree. It comes down to how much.) • Solid read: No glaring flaws in any of the three areas, but nothing especially remarkable either. Too few distinctive features or fresh ideas. A stopgap for when you're in a reading slump. • Solid read+: Two

The introduction missed a sentence: In the twelfth year, she was pregnant with Liujia, and the baby kicked her very hard. She gnashed her teeth in her stomach and complained: "I am not a son of a human being!"
In the distance, the petite maid with silver hair and blue eyes stood silently behind the curtain, looking at the confident, handsome Madam Lang in the study, and the noble girl with black hair and dark eyes, talking eloquently.
It's that garden with flying plum petals again, in an elegant and quiet waterside pavilion, a beauty wearing a crown and sword arrives
Su Guo'er, with wet red plum blossom makeup on her eyebrows, was sitting on the porch, enjoying the gentle evening breeze, reading a book. The maid with a steamy face next to her held a lantern to give her light.
Thoughts after viewing.
First of all, I am not a follower. I am not an old reader of Xiao Rong. This is the first time I read Xiao Rong's books. My personal taste is quite mixed and I can read anything. As long as it is a good book, I can read it regardless of the subject matter. This book was read from the first chapter to the present (it took about ten days, and I basically stayed up late every day to read it). Although there were some parts in the middle that I felt were poorly written (especially the part when I first arrived in Xunyang City and established a relationship with my junior sister), the overall impression was quite good. Although some parts are not very logical and some are not explained logically, I think the author's writing style still supports part of the story's conception and gives the book some flesh and blood. Since this is a harem article, I have to mention the girls. My personal ranking is basically: Rong Zhen ≈ Xiu Niang > Junior Sister = Miao Si (although this should not be a character in the harem, but the character is quite good, so I ranked it here.) > Li Guo'er > Ye Weila = other female supporting characters. Rong Zhen's History of Women There's not much to say. It's a very lovable character. It would be better to have more words to foreshadow that her natural stance is the same as that of the protagonist. Maybe the author is better at writing tsundere? Anyway, what I'm most looking forward to right now is the plot with Rong Zhenji after the protagonist's waistcoat is stripped off. Xiu Niang initially ranked even after Li Guo'er in my mind, because I always felt that a girl who had been practicing swordsmanship in the mountains for more than ten years, and even became a virgin, had a low self-esteem like a white-haired slave girl, which was quite disconnected. She had a weak and kind temperament, was nostalgic for the protagonist, and even felt guilty in her heart. There is no problem with these characters. But when you introduce yourself to your sweetheart's personal maid for the first time, you should not use the word "slave". This is an excessive inferiority complex, especially for a top swordsman, which is a bit unpleasant. But I couldn't stand the plot of Xunyangcheng's reunion with the protagonist, which brought back Xiu Niang's sincere, hot and lovable character. I can only say that the author still knows how to write, so now Xiu Niang's ranking here is almost the same as Rong Zhen's. Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister. Miao Si (Mo Jing), I personally like the happy enemy character, although here I am more of a tool person who promotes the plot. Li Guoer, there are only four words to evaluate her, and she has a promising future. Ye Weila, feels more like a hobby of the author? Or a sudden whim? However, as a reader, I still understand the birth of this character very well. After all, after arriving in Xunyang City, I did not force unnecessary descriptions on this character. After talking about the female characters, let's talk about the protagonist of this book, Ouyang Rong. Having read books for so many years, I personally think that as the protagonist of a harem novel, the thicker and fuller the protagonist's character, the easier it is for the girl to act like a tool (my junior sister once made me feel this way). This balance is difficult to control. The protagonist needs to be outstanding, but the girls around the protagonist cannot all look like accessories. This may be the most difficult thing to control in harem novels. But for Ouyang Rong, my personal pain point is not here. In my opinion, Ouyang Rong from Longcheng County is more like a gentleman. On the other hand, I feel like Ouyang Rong from Xunyang City is a bit like a hypocrite. It's not that Ouyang Rong from Xunyang City did something bad, but Ouyang Rong from Longcheng County makes me feel more sincere. Talking about the plot, my overall feeling is that some small fragments are very well written, even accurate to a certain sentence or a certain paragraph, which gives people a particularly wonderful feeling. But the overall emotion was too fragmented and too fragmented. What was supposed to be an explosive plot had a lengthy foreshadowing, but it was not strong enough at the moment it broke out, and then the emotion broke off. The above only represent my personal views. I think the author's writing is quite good, and the girl is also very unique. Rong Zhen is the most lovable tsundere character in the harem novels I have read in the past few years. I wish the author will get better and better grades and write better and better books.
Evaluate it
How can I put it this way? It's a common problem among Qidian authors. The logic is clear. However, the climax plot is not handled well. It is even said that the author does not handle it as well as the author of Tomato. When it reaches the explosive point, it will be revealed to you smoothly. It will not procrastinate and will not hold you back for a long time. It can obviously arouse the reader's emotions. The peak, but I always like to have diarrhea when writing the plot's breaking point. It doesn't matter if the pace is slow. The key is that you have to handle this well. Also, you can be sentimental in harem novels, but you must be responsible. This is what many people like to read. This is also where many harem novels are poorly written and criticized. Just remember You must be responsible, and there is a first-come, first-served principle. Basically, readers will not say anything, especially if the previous section is not handled well, most people will run away due to these two reasons. I can only say that come on, the previous episode of diarrhea is like a threshold and many people are stuck there. Don't let others regret ordering the whole book. Ben, speed up the pace appropriately and don't use so many rhetoric. Internet articles are not afraid of being uneducated, but afraid of being unhappy. You know, the core is a refreshing point. No matter how fluent your logic is, as long as it is not trivial, there will always be readers who will pay for it. You must expose the tipping points of your plot to make it interesting. Really, come on.
Why are you 4?
There are many eunuchs with bad grades, some with good grades and four-star honors, and half a book of books to be awarded the title of Twelve Heavenly Kings, but they committed suicide. You are the first one. The wealth from the sky is given to you if you don't want it. I won't talk about platinum gold after writing it. It is absolutely stable if you settle it down. I can only say that you don't have this destiny.
This book is food and fodder, but it can only be considered food and fodder.
The author's writing is good, the descriptions are great, and the characters are fleshed out But I don't understand why the protagonist is so twisted? Looking at the introduction, I thought it was a fun article. As a result, the more I watched it, the more I realized that the male protagonist is a true virgin and selfless. Our Lady said, put the people first in everything, and put everything about yourself and your own people aside. In addition, after the male protagonist traveled to this world, he had a little junior sister whom he secretly loved, and a white-haired lolita who slept with him every night. She also always thinks about leaving them behind and going back to her previous life, saying that she is homesick without even writing down the reasons. Or maybe the male protagonist feels that his bond in this world and the female protagonist he knows are not as important as going back to take the postgraduate entrance examination?
My thoughts on this book as of September 30, 2024
Overall, the plot of this book is pretty good, the writing is excellent, and the foreshadowing and background are intriguing enough. But so far it's about 40% plot + 30% daily life + 30% pure word count. And it's the kind of word count that's perfectly fine for one glance and ten lines. For example: Suppose you want to write that the protagonist went to a teahouse and drank a cup of tea. Most people will write: the protagonist walked into the tea house, went up to the second floor, ordered a cup of tea and finished it The author might write: the protagonist walked into the tea house wearing a green suit, walked slowly through the noisy lobby, walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor, and the old stairs creaked under his feet, but the protagonist did not pay attention. After going upstairs, he slowly sat down on the familiar seat by the window. The protagonist raised his hand to ask the waiter to order a pot of tea. The tea was poured into the celadon tea cup, and white smoke came out. The protagonist was silent for a long time. A green willow tree outside the window grew toward the sun. The sunlight passed through the willow tree and the window and sprinkled on the table. The protagonist held up the celadon tea cup with his left hand and took a sip of tea. After a while, the lobby downstairs was still noisy, and the scholar in Tsing Yi was no longer in front of the table. Orz In short, this book has a feeling of being tasteless and a pity to abandon. I read the first stop at the Buddha in one sitting, then kept it for a few months, and then read it in one sitting. The plot basically didn't change much. After reading two chapters, I just want to pay for one chapter. You are a royal thief. Putting aside these complaints, the book is still okay, but it is a torture to follow more chapters, and the experience may be better after reading the whole book.
Becoming a Shennong for the first time: It's a good book, but I don't recommend you to read it, or I don't recommend you to read it now. After reading Chapter 83, I found the plot and characterization of this book very interesting. However, the shortcomings are very serious, the plot is extremely slow, and the important characters have too few scenes. This extremely slow advancement reminds me of Banana's son-in-law. Even a little slower and more spread out. Before writing this paragraph, I skipped 150 chapters and read the latest 20 chapters. The main plot can be said that except for repairing the broken wings, other major conflict points were rarely promoted, and even the interaction between the male and female protagonists was basically unchanged. ps: If you are a very patient reader (more than 90% of bookworms), this book is a fairy tale. It's hard to imagine that it's still a novice village now. In my opinion, if the book is not finished in a hurry, it should be completed in 700-800,000 words. With such a long length and such a scattered plot arrangement, it is not difficult to imagine that the author forgets the previous part of the writing and slowly wears away his enthusiasm), just like the son-in-law. Updates are getting shorter and harder. The final result is probably a bit more pessimistic about The Eunuch and a bit more optimistic about the ending, which will take more than ten years. Given that the author has a complete work of one million words, I will probably be slapped in the face, and I sincerely hope that I will be slapped in the face, because this is indeed an interesting book. Hope he has an end. See you in one year
