O Kun_Kun O's Old Book List
A reading list for personal use I have zero tolerance for gambling and drugs. What I look for: Fluid writing ✓ Awkward prose × Sound logic ✓ Confusing logic × A healthy worldview ✓ Bloodthirsty cruelty × I prefer straightforward stories where the protagonist doesn’t suffer. The more fun and imaginative, the better. Lots of fan fiction. I’ll add some recent releases and let them build up a backlog.

These are all novels I think are pretty good: new releases, ongoing stories, and completed books.
Some Pretty Good Books! (P.S. These Are All Books I've Read and Enjoyed.)
Books I personally think are pretty good. I skipped ahead in some of them at the time and read pirated copies, so I'll gradually buy the complete editions. (P.S. Ratings are out of 10 and reflect my personal impressions!)
Books I've Read Over the Years [Yuan Yuan's Recommendations]
The sea of books is vast, and their quality is all over the place. How do you sift through the mass to find the gems without getting poisoned by a bad read? Follow me, and let's revisit the books we followed over the years. Personally recommended by Yuanyuan. My fan level will show you which books are the best and most worth reading. The books on this list have all earned at least the Apprentice fan rank from me [500 or more fan points]. I give my time and support in exchange for bookmarks and
Little by Little, Getting Better
More of a reading log than a recommendation list. I like books that feel real and interesting. Straightforward books are easy to put down, even when they're good; unconventional books get under your skin and are hard to quit. It's a little like PUA, so readers should be careful and know what they're getting into.
First-Order Post Office: Ongoing Recommendations for Excellent Immortal Grass with Strong First-Order Sales!!!
A book's first-day subscription count marks the moment it finally goes on sale. That number directly reflects how well the work is doing and how much support it has from readers. The higher the first-day subscriptions, the more readers are following it and the more popular it is. The subscription-to-collection ratio compares subscriptions with bookmarks. Generally, a lower ratio means readers are more loyal, and the book has a better chance of continuing to grow in popularity. This list recomm

A book is like wine: fragrant, strong, or rich, it grows mellow with its contents. A book is like a song: soaring, subdued, or sorrowful, it becomes music to the ears through its contents. A book is like a painting: bright, dim, or understated, it becomes beautiful through its contents.

ㅤㅤI've been reading web novels for twelve years and can't get enough of them. After all these years, I know how painful a reading slump can be. I've tried all kinds of male- and female-oriented fiction, and both have their strengths. I've finally realized the truth: genre doesn't matter. If you can keep reading and connect with it emotionally, it's a good book. By chance, I found a way to help others get through their reading slumps: recommending books. I hope my recommendations can help you, an
Books I'm Reading, Interested In, or Have Followed
I've been reading novels for years, and these days I often find myself in a reading slump. Lately, I prefer stories that focus on plot and go easy on the clichés. The writing and logic shouldn't have any major problems, and please, no awkward romance. A comfortable read is always welcome. Above all, I want something original.

The plot was incredibly awkward. The first game was completely nonsensical. Aside from the detailed and realistic background, it had absolutely no gameplay. It was just about turning into trees, rocks, and bridges, and then looking at the background images. The people in the game insisted that the game was fun and had some deeper meaning.
So... Did President Pei fail? That's what created "reverse logistics"—simply so that delivery drivers no longer have to risk running red lights. That company that created countless gaming legends, drove out inferior games with superior ones, and paved countless paths for the history of gaming worldwide.
The movie "The Richest Man" is good not because Tenda's games are fun.
I don't need to elaborate on why "The Richest Man" is so good. In fact, the author's original games are too fixated on the plot and demand profound themes, but the gameplay is questionable. If the plot is driven by such games, and the author keeps showing how highly praised the games are, it becomes very awkward for readers.
Sometimes you really have to accept that a certain stage in your life is the highest peak you'll never reach again.
The richest man was too successful; he's the best I've ever read about someone who lost money to become the richest man. Then, taking that as my goal, Qingshan set his standards too high, and he's never satisfied with his writing.
The Tengda Universe has yet to show any trace of Tengda, which feels like an overly deliberate avoidance of describing Tengda. I really don't believe that Tengda, after decades of development, has left no trace in first-tier cities. Even if Tengda were incorporated into a state-owned enterprise, it would be impossible for the protagonist to have transmigrated for almost half a year and written hundreds of thousands of words without ever encountering any Tengda industries.
I didn't want to watch it after the beginning; it's the same old formula. The first half of "The Richest Man in China" was truly masterful; without any deliberate didacticism, it evoked much reflection and emotion. However, in the latter half, the author subconsciously tried to elevate the story, but ended up sabotaging it by completely solidifying his own writing style. I never expected it to still be in use today; it reminds me of the Spring Festival Gala.
The biggest problem with the background of this book is that it is in the same universe as Tengda, but the descriptions in the book are as if Tengda never existed. In particular, there is no connection between Nifeng Logistics and the first chapter's working simulator. To be honest, it feels like the things about Tengda are not handled well in this book. It was like this before Tengda came and it is like this after Tengda came. Then Tengda came for nothing.
The richest man's success was also his downfall. Trying to replicate his success is futile; even the best imitation of the same formula will fall short. In this light, the story's abandonment isn't surprising. Perhaps it would have been better to rekindle the passion used to create the richest man and rewrite the story. When the acting was forced to reach a point of artificial elevation, it felt like the richest man had completely trapped the author.
Sister Qing, don't run away! This book is really enjoyable to read, I love it. Even if it's just for one reader, I have to keep writing, okay? I feel this book will definitely become as popular as "The Richest Man in China." Don't look at the poor initial reviews and results; it will definitely become successful. Believe in your readers, believe in your own abilities.
My youth!!! Sister Qing, I love you sob sob sob... For the past few years, I've been wanting to read stories about game designers, but other people's stories just don't feel right.
