Personal Reading List
Books I'm currently reading or have finished. Qidian's recommendations have a hard time catering to different tastes, so I hope everyone will make more lists of their own. That way, we can share good books and stay out of reading slumps.
Since 2005
Please note: I almost never read books all the way to the end. I usually drop them at around one million words, depending on when I catch up with the updates and how quickly the author posts. So I only vouch for the first half of a book.
Books I'm Testing
These are based on my personal tastes. Most are books I dropped after reading the beginning, so don't click if that bothers you. Rated out of five: 1 means I dropped it right away; 2–3 means it has some bright spots or no major flaws, and made me want to see how the plot unfolds; 4 means it's good in every respect and has standout qualities.
Every Book Here Gets a Perfect 100% Recommendation Score!!!
I've excluded all abandoned books, except for one that ran over two million characters before being dropped, which was a real shame. Every book here is over 100,000 characters and one I've personally read.
A Picky Veteran Reader's List
I read a bit of everything. The list could include anything, and updates are irregular.

I love what I love, without complaint or regret!
Laughing at the Mortal World, Lost in a Reading Slump
I've been a bookworm for ten years. I won't claim to be an expert, but I've developed some taste. If you happen to find this personal reading list in the vast sea of books and enjoy it, that would make me happy. I hope it brings you happiness too!

Urban life: The warmth and coldness of human relationships, getting promoted and earning a raise, and underdogs making a comeback.
The Carp Book Pavilion
Books currently being followed by a veteran reader of more than ten years. All kinds of genres are included, so help yourself. Recommendations use a five-star scale. Four stars and above are highly recommended. I hope everyone will support the authors and give them the motivation to continue writing, so that more good books can appear. Note: This list only includes unfinished books.

Don't exaggerate like that. There have been fools who have done this in real life. Two people wanted to live in seclusion on a deserted island, so they went to an island they thought was uninhabited. In less than six months, they both went mad, and one of them killed the other. Less than a day after the killing, the police came ashore and arrested the remaining people.
Arguing with the comment section about the hand pump well resulted in a loss of over a hundred yuan.
To verify the information, I first went to Baidu, but Baidu doesn't have any cultural relics and just makes things up. Then I went to Zhihu and almost got fooled by a "folk historian". Then he specifically checked the archaeological reports on Langling Ancient City in Zhumadian, Henan, and found that even Director Zhou, who was in charge of the project, did not dare to say that the unearthed…
If you only wrote one Robinson Crusoe story, with a richer and more substantial plot, then this book could be considered a masterpiece. If you shortened each story and used a limited number of words to describe more tales, I think your success would be even greater. However, you've been immersed in Robinson Crusoe for so long that you've already filtered your readers time and time again. Now, you're venturing into another world. To be honest, I think that's going to be challenging.
I've read Robinson Crusoe many times before because I found its farming aspect very enjoyable, especially the part about building tree walls.
So, the protagonist survived a day and a night without food on a deserted island and was still full of energy—what kind of physical condition is that! A normal modern person would feel weak and unable to move even after half a day without food, let alone a whole day, right? And I'm not talking about a normal person lying still!
Could you give me more?
When you update once, minor flaws will be magnified, and your writing style will be criticized. When you're up two hours in a row, a little patience is born, and the plot's progress becomes more important. When you're up past midnight, small praises begin to emerge, and the number of dead harvests begins to decline.
Don't capture wild men.
Why not just write about wilderness survival and live a peaceful life? Why are you always thinking about catching cannibals? 😥 You can't see into someone's heart. Robinson Crusoe was able to tame them, so why do you think you can? They might appear compliant, but then they'll hit you when you're not looking and you'll be obedient.
Author, may I ask you a question?
Will the protagonist become the only extraordinary being in the main world later on?
The biggest difficulty is actually loneliness.
The author's version is ridiculous. It's completely like Robinson Crusoe, spending 23 years there and actually going insane. Robinson Crusoe survived for years thanks to religious solace and Fridays, and that's just fiction. Ed Stafford spent 60 days on the desert island, and later he was constantly homesick and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.
It was fine until now, but the author's constant interest in cannibals might make the story more substantial and easier to write about. However, the reality is chilling. Could you sleep soundly surrounded by cannibals?
