A Sort of Reading Guide? I'll Review All Kinds of Texts, Good and Bad
I add strange and unusual books I come across here. (I can only make one list, so my personal recommendations are here too.) P.S. If I sound harsh, it’s because something about the book genuinely disgusted me. P.P.S. One extremely harmful book was taken down the other day, after being on this list for a while. No idea if someone reported it or the author ran off, but either way, good riddance.

"The Flock of Pigeons" is a hard science fiction novel that revolves around scientific facts.
Recommended Copy If you usually enjoy nitpicking or critically analyzing science fiction, and like to critique the author's scientific literacy. So, this science fiction work, which retains the scientific facts cited in the main text, delves into the depths of complex systems, quantum field theory, and the philosophy of science—
If you're looking for something high-quality and are reading this book for hard science fiction, then congratulations, you've found the perfect answer on Qidian.
After reading a few chapters, I feel that the author's writing style is so good that it should be published immediately. Most readers on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) prefer mindless, enjoyable stories, and there probably aren't many who can stomach this style.
Friends, thank you all for your support! This book has received its second round of recommendations. The crucial moment that will determine its fate has arrived! If you'd like to show your support, I'm not asking for money or votes, I'm just asking that you read the latest chapter (whatever it is) completely. This data is extremely important! Thank you! If you keep reading, you'll become my older brother 🙏 Of course, it would be even better if I could vote, and it was my older brother who voted.
It's such a pity. It's a good book, but I couldn't continue reading after one of the female characters showed no remorse for the disaster she caused and was more curious about the creations of the alien allies who came to her aid. The more beautiful and lovely she was described at the beginning, the more terrified I became by her lack of morality.
The truly hard science fiction works are probably the hardest science fiction works ever created on Qidian. As the author himself states, this book is indeed a "collection of wild ideas," but these ideas are seamlessly integrated into the writing, with many even serving as plot threads. If science and technology are the skeleton, then the content is the flesh and blood.
Almost all the characters' names in this book have meanings; you can try to guess them. Also, the "Really a Milk Fish" in the article is me; I don't know why the two accounts have different names.
As a hard science fiction writer with formal training, the author's detailed professional knowledge makes this popular science article rigorous and informative, as can be seen from the references that are as substantial as a short paper. The rigor of the setting is very reliable, especially in the field of physics. The flaws I can find are mainly in biology and philosophy.
Only the first volume is written in the first person!! This is something I've seriously considered. If you feel the first-person perspective is inappropriate, I suggest reading the first volume first to see how it goes.
This book is indeed science fiction, with a classic science fiction feel. Additionally, I suggest the author write a chapter explaining scientific terminology, since some readers are too lazy to look it up on Baidu.
