New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)
As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

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.
Books I Find Interesting
Mostly historical and farming stories, with other genres mixed in now and then.
A Novel Just Needs to Be Fun!
A record of novels I've finished, am currently reading, or have read before. I'll add my thoughts after finishing a book. For books I'm still reading, I'll briefly describe my impressions so far. If I don't finish one, I'll explain why. I don't have many hard no's when it comes to genre, and my tastes are broad. You can understand my rating system from the list's title. I like fun, original premises, but have no interest in brainless power fantasies. Plot matters more than prose, which matters m

Only books that are exciting and have great-looking characters make it onto this list. Otherwise, how could it be a list of heartthrob-worthy reads? I’m leaving out the already famous books, since everyone knows them by now.

Keeping Track of Reading Lists
Pure Thrills
When I first started reading, I loved fantasy and epic worlds. Later I got into urban stories and wild, imaginative plots, then historical fiction. Now I'm back to fast-paced wish-fulfillment stories. I've been reading for ten years: if the pacing is slow, I won't read it; if it's too short, I won't read it either.

What's so outrageous about a Chinese person becoming a literary giant in Europe? I've read novels far more outrageous than that. In one book, the protagonist transmigrated into a blond, blue-eyed Frenchman, and then declared he was going to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming! And then I saw the comments section filled with people relentlessly criticizing him…🙂
I stopped reading after seeing two professors; one updated slowly, and the other didn't offer the kind of content I wanted to see. I found it absurd. Judging from the content, the author is capable of writing literary masterpieces, and what readers want to see is obvious: how to plagiarize and show off, how to establish a school of thought in that era, how to achieve a level of intellectual…
There used to be a book called "Reborn as a Master in Europe and America," but it was unfortunately taken down. That was real class. This book was readable at the beginning, but the later parts were just forced pretentiousness. It's like having some African guy in Beijing who beats up Tsinghua and Peking University students, while a group of elites shout "Daddy, I love you!" Isn't that ridiculous?
Writing about a Qing Dynasty person becoming a literary giant in Europe is ridiculous. First, the cultures are different and incompatible. Second, no matter how brilliant your writing is, it won't make you stand out. Even Americans had a hard time entering Europe back then, let alone a person of Asian descent.
I initially felt a connection to reading about literary giants from the Republican era, but starting from chapter 70-something, the part where the two universities came to deliver invitations became so awkward I couldn't continue reading; I completely lost my grip. It gave the impression of a dramatic drop in sophistication.
The characterization of the girls in the story is too awkward. They seem to have low intelligence, and they're always making faces, sticking out their tongues, or getting shy and excited for no reason. They are very typical of what men consider "lively and cute."
In the Qing Dynasty, in that era, could someone be respected simply for writing a book?
Literary giants must copy: guns, cannons, great powers, history. I can already sense a familiar feeling, 😍, the author must be someone I know.
If you find it incongruous that a Chinese person became a literary giant in Europe, I suggest you look up Gu Hongming; he's a perfect example.
Who even reads this book? How did it become so popular? The protagonist's identity is utterly ridiculous, and they even set up a romantic relationship just to advance the plot. The school speech is even more laughable. The rest is all just cliché.
