Recommendations from a 20-Year Veteran Bookworm: Unique and Toxin-Free
Mainly historical, urban, xianxia, and sports fiction. Sensible plots, excellent writing, no characters losing their wits, and no pretentious literary posturing.
Congrats, Brother Zhou! The Final Showdown Is Over, and Great Soccer Stories Are on Fire!
How could the coronation moment be complete without some passionate football fiction? Here are high-octane football novels featuring comebacks on the pitch, match-winning goals, and coaching battles. Beyond real-world matches, experience another adrenaline rush with these fantasies of the green pitch!
No-CP Reading List,
I originally made this list hoping people would recommend books to me too, but after all this time, only a few have been recommended. A lot of my other lists have been abandoned, and I don’t feel like keeping this one up anymore either... From now on, I’ll just update it whenever I feel like it.
My Personal Picks: Lighthearted, Plot-Driven, No Harem
A personal reading list. As the saying goes, one person's honey is another person's poison. Everyone has different tastes and different deal-breakers, so finding books to recommend and read is all about fate~ I like books with engaging plots, a brisk pace, a lighthearted atmosphere, well-rounded characters, and supporting characters who get their own moments to shine. When it comes to romance, I don't like books with lots of flirting and ambiguity. I can only accept no romance or a single heroin
Yhhhgg's New Recommendations
I only recommend books I've read, mostly new and currently serialized novels.

Everyone says Cristiano Ronaldo is the king of adversity, and now I believe it.
Unexpectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to get Yoshi to personally handle his public relations efforts. It turns out that Ronaldo's apology and refund were already the best possible outcome. Well done.
I have no objection.

Regarding the notion that a player's status as a star is meaningless without scandals and models, let's focus on whether a player is willing to receive interviews and exposure. Unless a player demonstrates talent and ability surpassing Messi's, they will never win the Ballon d'Or! Even if you show Ronaldo's talent, you still won't win.
I can't believe I've managed to defeat a seedling in Chapter 18. It's insane, isn't it? It would be even better if it were a Chinese player. A player of Chinese descent would be like Linsanity – I'd be excited, but I wouldn't lose my temper, because only a Chinese player achieving that level of success would be considered a miracle.
Don't give Yoshi any screen time; support Hong Kong.
If Maradona were still here, Messi wouldn't dare to say "yes," a sigh escapes.
It's not that Messi can't be criticized, but the process was written in a very uninteresting way. Before the Hong Kong incident, Barcelona and Messi were often portrayed as villains in many football novels. Especially Barcelona, but those novels didn't portray it so exaggeratedly, giving a strong sense of immersion in fighting the villain.
Some people may appear arrogant, but deep down they are humble and polite. Some people appear humble on the surface, but are actually arrogant and conceited at heart.

A very promising new book! Having read quite a few football novels, this one is quite unconventional. The protagonist's father fully supports him, creating a deep father-son bond. He achieves great success late in life at 30, the pacing and exciting moments are well-balanced, and most importantly, the details and emotions are very realistic, making it very immersive. Highly recommended! I hope the author releases it soon and updates frequently!
