Zangzang Mao's Book Reviews
This list features works of many kinds. A book needs to be at least worth reading to make the cut. Poor writing is an automatic rejection, but I'll make exceptions for originality, creativity, and wild ideas. I'm a picky list curator, and I regularly cull abandoned novels! Abandoned books must go!!

Let’s Give These Books a Brutally Honest Review
“Great”: An absolute blast. No need to say more. At the very least, it's good enough to keep reading well into the later chapters. “Decent”: Average, with flaws big or small, but readable for a while. I usually drop it around the halfway point. “Special”: So unbearable I have to vent about it. I'm a fan of romance and everyday-life stories, sci-fi apocalypse stories, and Western fantasy. I like reading finished books because they're more satisfying to binge, so this list mostly collects good bo

Specifically looking for great new books to recommend
Pokemon Fanfiction, Beast Taming, and Pet Companions
Pokemon fan fiction, mostly journey-focused, with relatively few battle-focused works. My tastes in beast-taming and pet stories are very broad. I read anything well written or built around a good idea. I also read card-based and summoning stories, though not many. For ratings, the maximum is ten points. Anything scoring eight or above is highly recommended, while anything above six has its highlights but also some shortcomings.

100 Coins per floor, try and bankrupt me if you dare.
At your speed I'll start with Silver. Take your time to catch up.
The description claimed top-tier culinary talent, so I expected a lot of detailed descriptions of cooking methods, techniques, and flavors. However, it was all glossed over... It feels a bit like a bait-and-switch tactic.
In case anyone doesn't know the book's title, I've specially added the pinyin: (Shi Xiang Zhi Shi). You're welcome; my name is Lei Feng. 🤓
Please, write about Pokémon! I can't stand reading any of Lu Laoshi's other Pokémon posts anymore. 😭😭
Tasting and Evaluation
Simple evaluation As a book that blends Western fantasy, territory development, a D&D-like system, and Dungeon Meal, it doesn't really stand out in any aspect. In particular, the main focus is on monster cuisine. The preparation process isn't particularly ingenious, and the ingredients aren't especially exotic. The praise after eating the food is also lacking in impact.
I'm dying of laughter! I read the first chapter. It's set in a fantasy world with witches, monsters, and nobles, and then a village chief asks a baron who hasn't even taken office yet for an explanation?
I honestly think that explaining this as a game right after the protagonist's transmigration was a huge mistake. The protagonist's cheat ability is just a hidden skill from a crafting profession in the game, which feels incredibly awkward. It makes the plot feel predictable and like everything that happens next is already set in stone. It would have been much more engaging and kept the reader hooked up to watch.
After reading about twenty chapters, the biggest problem with this book is the incoherent dialogue. Often, the two characters are talking at once, with huge jumps in the narrative, as if the author had already mentally rehearsed the whole thing but didn't write it down completely.
I'm having a Pokémon reading slump, Chuanbao, could you go back and write something?
Although it might be a blow to Kitagawa's confidence, it's better to go back to Pokémon.
I didn't follow the "Card Master's Guide," but I read the two cooking books that followed. It feels like Kitagawa is too obsessed with the chef and food theme now. I wonder if it's because Chef Lu's cooking has suffocated the author. 😅
