Great Books to Thank Their Authors For
Good books I've read, just my personal opinion.
Mostly Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Gaming (I)
A selection of books I think are well written. They may be niche or mainstream, but they should all have a distinctive style or something that sets them apart.
Light Novels + Fantasy Worlds + Original Ideas
Books I'm following lately, mostly new releases. I hope they develop well. P.S. My tolerance for bad writing has been unusually high lately. I want to read some weirder books.
My Personal Reading List
What they mostly have in common is a harem of heroines
Amanen's Reading List
The works on this list share the following traits: Decent writing (reading a badly written book feels like being assaulted) One or multiple heroines (the male lead's lower house isn't just for show) A wide variety of styles (I'm an omnivorous reader) Hope you all enjoy them~ P.S.: The moderation is ridiculous. Content that used to pass review can no longer get through, and they won't tell you what rule you broke. They just make you guess. P.S. 2: Wow, who did I offend? Almost every book got down
A Taste for the Niche

Light novel
This article is indeed a light novel, and it is still filled with so many cute things in such a cruel world. We can see two major contradictions in the world view of this book, one is the survival contradiction between dragons and meta-humans, and the other is the class contradiction between mortals and witches. First of all, there is no doubt that the first major contradiction is the most important and fundamental contradiction, because the competition between dragons and metahumans is not a contradiction between different races in ordinary Western fantasy works. Generally, in Western fantasy works, there are only competitions for living space, civilizational conflicts, religious conflicts, etc. Between different races. The conflict between dragons and metahumans is a competition on the food chain, which is similar to the struggle between Homo sapiens and lions and tigers. This is a battle with no retreat. There is only room for one at the top of the food chain. There is no runner-up in this game. Therefore, mankind must win, no matter what the cost. The oppression or sacrifice of one or even several generations is not worth mentioning. Homo sapiens has made hundreds of thousands of sacrifices in achieving this goal. The losers do not have any bargaining chips, the lighter ones will be kept in captivity in the future, and the worse ones will be reduced to fossil remains. The second contradiction is the issue of equal rights that we are more familiar with on the surface, because the class contradictions in this world are under the first contradiction. If the second contradiction is about survival and distribution, then the first contradiction is about life and death. For the butcher, he doesn't care whether the blood on his hands belongs to the innocent exploited or the criminal slave owner, he just wants them to die together. However, those in power are also prone to falling into survival difficulties and ignoring internal problems. In the absence of hard power, we should actually pursue improving the efficiency of using power, that is, social efficacy, which is the key to victory. Homo sapiens did not evolve to be stronger than other animals when climbing up the food chain, but used tools and efficient social organizations to win. So for humans at this time, if the witch's power is enough to win, a caste-based society is inevitable; if the witch's power cannot win, then it must unite with other forces, at least not be their enemy. Otherwise... It is not uncommon for a ruling group to drag the entire society to death... Finally, I would like to say that this article is indeed a light novel, and it is still full of so many cute things in such a cruel world.
I saw that many people said that they couldn't remember the names of unfamiliar people, so I compiled a list (simplified version) that can be compared to deepen their impression. Due to time reasons, the compilation is too concise, there may be errors and omissions, and they need to be supplemented and corrected. Asjan The protagonist of this book, first appeared in a chapter, whose real name is temporarily unknown, is suspected of being a traveler from the Celestial Dynasty, and is currently exiled (eloping) with Faria as her slave (owner). Itinerary: Forced by Tiffany to leave the "Holy City" and go to the province of France, he first stayed in Graystone Castle, and then went to the capital of France to convey the news that the Young Dragon King had followed the witch Alisa to cooperate with the main battle elves. At present, in order to avoid losing his homeland, he will join the expedition team to hunt dragons at the cold spring base. Falia The heroine (one?) Of this book first appears in chapter one. Due to the psychological shadow of betrayal due to his childhood experience, he is extremely dependent on Asrang. He has an awkward personality and doesn't like to communicate with others, but he has a kind nature. She attaches great importance to the commandments, is extremely talented as a witch, and worships the witch Elsa, the founder of the "Holy City" who had a similar fate to herself. She is currently staying at the Cold Spring Stronghold with Asgen. Avna Farya's fellow senior sister, first appeared in Chapter 1, seems to have been friends with Faria since she was a child, and has secretly protected Faria many times. Woodlow As Asgen's mentor in the gladiatorial arena, he was highly skilled and took great care of others, and was respected as a master. He let go of water during a fight with Asgen and was "executed" by the witch to death. Stacey Falia's teacher, the elder of the Witch Academy, first appeared in Chapter 4. He abides by the commandments and once saved Asgen. Tiffany The veteran of the Witch's Monastery, he first served as the governor of France. First appearing in Chapter 5, he formed a secret society called the "Homeless Society" in order to maintain his rule, instigating the hatred of witches who had been persecuted, and once induced Faria to "parricide" and spread the word. Forcing Faria and Asjan to leave the "Holy City". Eric A dwarf with a simple and straightforward personality, he first appeared in Chapter 8 and witnessed Asgen defeat the Broken-Winged Sand Dragon in the arena. Currently in the Dragon Hunting Group at Cold Spring Stronghold. Elenia The tribune of Greystone Castle, first appeared in Chapter 15, a half-elf whose expression changes slightly due to her elven blood, and whose heart is gentle. Alissa The witch of Greystone Castle was once ostracized for becoming a witch, and also went to extremes due to the influence of the Homeless Society. After discovering the larvae of the Green Dragon King, she led it to the elven territory. Now she has reached cooperation with the main war elves based on the hatred in the larvae of the Dragon King and some elves. Fiona The witch working in the Governor's Palace of France first appeared in Chapter 35. The village where she lived was burned down by the Homeless Society. She survived as a witch after awakening, but left burn scars, so she was called "the ashes" by some witches. Caroline Governor Frank, is suspected to be related to the loss of his hometown. First appeared in Chapter 34. Vanessa The Witch of the Homeless Society first appeared in Chapter 39. When Asgen and his party went to the cold spring, they attacked the villagers who blocked the road and were killed by Asgen. Mei The Homeless Witch who regards Vanessa as a friend first appeared in Chapter 40. When getting along with Vanessa, he prevented her from killing her indiscriminately. After Vanessa died, she failed to seek death and is currently being escorted to Stacey in the "Holy City" by Elenia. Joanna The person in charge of Cold Spring Stronghold, a golden robe witch on the same level as Faria. First appeared in Chapter 52. Related to the Cold Spring Dragon Hunting Group Leilu The witch behind the Silver Lion Hunting Group and the veteran of the Witch Academy seems to be old. First appeared in Chapter 65. Polka The leader of the Silver Lion Hunting Group, he seems to only serve as a mascot, and he admires Mu Lelu very much. Puchman, Moulton, Foster, Dude The backbone of the Silver Lion Hunting Group, who tried to spread gossip and was punished, first appeared in Chapter 63. Puchaman is currently being hunted by Blackmarsh Dragon. Alcain The most outstanding crossbowman of the Silver Lion Hunting Group, first appeared in Chapter 67. Astrid One of the elves who was exiled for advocating not to start a war went to the cold spring to look for Asgen. It seems that he was sent to the cold spring by a witch and his life is in danger.
Faria is a tragic dove whose gender has changed
I saw a comment a few days ago, and I felt that when Ge Ge wrote about Faria, Faria always avoided the topic of love. I think 🕊️may also be avoiding love. He has not yet been able to sort out the ambiguous and painful love around him, so how can he help Faria overcome the difficulties. Faria's sensitivity and suspicion stem from the distortion of her native family. Unfortunately, the same is true 🕊️. Although Tiffany and Stacey played the role of Faria's parents to a certain extent, they were not. As for the humorous Beifu, if he eats the old and eats the young, he has lived to a high level. The Desolate Dove projects his heart to Faria, but he does not have an ASR. If someone thinks that the gods in the group are his ASR, I have nothing to say. Faria is an excellent tsundere, and I'm afraid 🕊️ is also a tsundere. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, 🕊️What kind of reaction do you actually hope to get when you make various comments? The character Mei is aloof, sometimes sharply pointing out some problems, but she also has a split personality. She is probably 🕊️ rational. She can recognize problems, but she keeps avoiding them, and her different viewpoints often tear her apart. 🕊️Often accuses pre-modernity, but he himself is not a stubborn product of pre-modernity, living in a pre-modern environment. So asr🌿fly and Mei =🌿Sad Dove, can Dole Dove let us🌿? It can't be that the harmful young lady falls in love with the down-and-out Dove Dove.

Thanks for reading, meow😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My feelings after watching it
It's good-looking, but not good enough Let's talk about the advantages first. The heroine's character is really amazing, the tsundere never goes out of style 😌, and the inner monologue is the best I've seen in the past few years. Okay, there are no advantages anymore, the rest are all shortcomings 😒 (Personal opinion, does not represent the taste of all readers) 1. The male protagonist's combat power. Although this book is mainly about witches, the male protagonist cannot really be a tool. The author took inspiration from Zero: The Familiar at first glance. But in the magical world, this talented dog has strong fighting power even with his swordsmanship 😎. 1 Vs. An army of 100,000 is a real man. In this book, it seems that the male protagonist is playing a trick, but it is basically the same as nothing. At least it does not reflect the personality charm (combat level) that the male protagonist should have. He looks like a tool. I believe that a few witches can defeat him without the female protagonist (it seems that the male protagonist cannot be killed, but this trick is very confusing, so it is better to use the expression of a talented dog). The final impression is slightly frustrating 2. The rhythm is discontinuous. The rhythm of a good novel must be one after another. At least the fun moments should be continuous. Even in daily life, there can be some fun moments (for example, the daily dialogue with the heroine in this book makes everyone clap their hands), but the author has to intersperse a bunch of irrelevant characters. Either you write the main story line and resist the witch, or write more about the heroine in the daily line. I like to read, but the other characters are not very outstanding. I can't wait to fast forward to the next appearance of the heroine in ten lines. It's okay if you want to have a harem, but your other female characters are not impressive at all. I think Ji❌'s books will have at least three or four favorite female characters, so I support the creation of a harem. The author's female characters are all average except for the heroine. It's really better to write more about the heroine making love. What is the meaning of the harem 3. World view. It blends well, but don't melt it next time. I've watched Western Fantasy a lot, and I've played Monster Hunter a lot, but the world view it created is really weird. Either use swords and magic to resist tyranny, or you can fight monsters and become a legendary adventurer. When the two of them come together, the writing is really confusing. They want and want at the same time. In addition, the protagonist's attack has no offensive power, which made me even more frustrated. Only the interaction between the heroine can alleviate it 4. The main line conflict. Like Zero's Familiar, Saigo has a clear goal of returning to Japan. Like the article on cultivating immortals, the goal is to become an immortal. The main line of this article feels the same. There are so many swordfighters written about how miserable the common people are. Then you resist the witch, no, you don't have the ability, you know, it's too easy to worry about. The peaceful transformation of witches is not possible either. Your male protagonist is not charismatic enough. It is difficult to imagine changing evil witches with words. That would have to be something like a date, a gift from the sky, something that a male protagonist can do. Then live a happy daily life with the little witch. Not yet. The author insists on a bunch of empires collapsing and the world changing drastically. If you can write it, just force it in. The result is that the male protagonist seems to be incompetent and even feels a bit depressed and useless. Either you kill more decisively, or you completely write a super good guy like a brave man. Now he is an indecisive person who is a little sinister but always wants to save people. In general, there are four main poisonous points above. This article is about the size of a high-quality article. You can read it if you don't have a book to read, but it's not the kind of thing you can stay up late to catch up on. The author's writing style and characters are still good, but the refreshing pace and main plot are too poor. I came in and read the beginning and was immediately fascinated by the heroine. I thought this was not even on the monthly ticket list. After reading more than 70 chapters, I felt that it made sense that this would not be enough. Vote three votes and I will keep this book for now. For the next book, I suggest that the author simply change the peaceful world view of Wolf and Spice to write about daily life, or keep this world view of bitterness and hatred, but with the male protagonist being more open-minded, fighting injustice and resisting tyranny. Now In this book, apart from the heroine, I really can't think of anything else to look forward to in terms of plot (similar to The Fader, where you want to see the doctor Ruby get to know each other at the beginning. This kind of plot hook can ensure that readers will not quit before seeing the point they want to read). I really don't have any expectations for this book except to see the male and female protagonists getting married, so I kept it. (If you have different opinions, you are welcome to communicate, discuss peacefully, and lightly criticize. I typed about 1,500 words and I definitely hope to give the author some readers' perspective. The more I write the book, the better. After all, the heroine is so cute☺)
Support the author, well done to the clear harem. All the bullshit about high-end sex, I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, I am a woman, I am a cp, etc. Are all used on men's videos. Don't surrender to those cmg Jimei who are addicted to guidance all day long.

Thoughts after watching it (before reading the Dragon Hunter volume)
I didn't fall in love during the limited-time period, but I read this novel about a week ago and have been reading it continuously to this day. There have been almost no unsubscriptions during this period, so I feel like I can express some opinions. First of all, let me talk about the advantages of this book: The writing is delicate and the portrayal of several heroines is relatively three-dimensional, especially the portrayal of the first heroine Faria is quite good. I personally think that the psychological description of the character who is arrogant, lacks love, arrogant and has low self-esteem is very appropriate and can make people shine. The novel world view creates a chaotic world at the end of the witch's reign, when natural disasters (dragons) and man-made disasters (Celestial Cult) occur simultaneously. Then there are the shortcomings of this book that I feel after reading it so far: First of all, the pace is extremely slow and a bit confusing. Most chapters focus on the dialogue and psychology of the characters, with almost zero advancement of the main line of the world, especially in the middle of the story, which is basically dominated by the plot of several heroines competing for jealousy. As a harem light novel, this is naturally not a big flaw, but the author particularly likes to intersperse some of the misery of other people in his spare time, which leads to an extremely fragmented viewing experience: in the first chapter, everyone is having a party and playing around, in the next chapter, a small character who has appeared for a few chapters begins to talk about his miserable life experience that his father does not care for his mother, and after a few chapters they start to play and fight again. What's more important is that after describing how miserable ordinary people are and how bad witches are, I then tell you that the protagonist can't do anything now, and even the protagonist himself is looked down upon. It's very real (if you're looking for a sense of reality in a virtual web article, that's right). Then there are several battles with the male protagonist. The Green Dragon King is okay, with a small climax. The Celestial Cult boss battle is full of various psychological descriptions and memories, and he is instantly killed at the beginning and hangs up. After returning, there is no way to save the madness. Lan felt that the boss battle with the Lord of the Mountains was extremely perfunctory. The one-eyed blue dragon's huge formation was instantly cut off with a single blow. The blue dragon king also made loud thunder but little rain. In addition, Aisha kept complaining beside him, and there was no atmosphere of a big battle at all. (The author said that this is because he is not good at writing about battles, and everyone said that the writing was not good enough and he stopped writing. Then everyone said that he should not write so many stories about passers-by, but the author still wrote it anyway.) Finally, the portrayal of the male protagonist Asgen was poor in appearance, ambitious, but slow in action. Tears filled his eyes every time he encountered trouble, and he did nothing afterwards. Five hundred chapters have passed, and apart from conquering a few female characters and defeating a few early mini-bosses, there has been almost no change to the world. It seems that he is compassionate, but in fact he has tied himself to Faria.
Let's promote more emotional dramas and less suffering for ordinary people.
It's a really good book that gets weirder as it goes on. The pace was pretty good at the beginning, Faria's character correction was also carefree, and the male and female protagonists had many emotional scenes. The further I went on, the more I witnessed, and I wrote about the sufferings of the common people every day, suffering and suffering and suffering. The emotional line is not advanced, and the main line is also pushed slowly. We can't just rely on ASR every time Faria changes in the future. Let's communicate emotionally. Hey, I'll leave it at that. I hope the author won't suffer.
This is the best book about a tsundere heroine that I have read on Qidian.
To be honest, the best thing about this book is the creation of Faria as the heroine. It shows the charm of the tsundere heroine very well. Some authors only highlight the arrogant side of the tsundere, which makes them naive and not cute at all. Others only highlight the coquettish side. Although soft and soft, they are cute but not really tsundere. Moreover, a tsundere is different from a yandere. A yandere is not only delicate but also "sick". The result of this "sickness" is often harm to the protagonist. But Faria is different. Faria truly cares about and likes Asgen. This kind of care and love is not just about possessing him physically or mentally, but also about gaining Asgen's approval. Although she always talks hard, Faria actually cares about Asgen's reaction. In sociology, people are nothing more than a collection of social relationships, and social relationships are often based on interests. However, this does not mean that interactions between people only involve interests. Pure friendship, family affection and love are all beautiful and innocent emotions that we praise. Faria is a poor, emotionally deprived girl. She has been deprived of her family ties since she was a child, and her friendship is in jeopardy due to the friction with Avna. Her innocent character was actually on shaky ground at the beginning of the chapter. It was Asrang who gave her new hope, ignited the fire in her heart, and dispelled the uneasiness and coldness in her heart. The love between Faria and Asjean is mutual. This love not only warms Faria, but also changes her attitude towards getting along with people and Asjean's view of the world. The two achieve and shape each other, just like the lotus in the water and the winged bird in the sky. The fate of the two is closely connected and inseparable from the moment they intertwine. All in all, I really like the story between Faria and Asjan, praising the great love, kindness and justice between them. The background world of the book is a very cruel world. The threat of the dragon clan is like a dark cloud weighing on everyone's heads, and the twisted social system is alienating everyone. Perhaps Aisha's original intention was good, but it was impossible for a system to operate without problems for a thousand years, not to mention that due to its historical limitations, it was impossible and incapable for her to seek a millennium plan for long-term peace and stability. Under this system of witch rule, witches are both rulers and victims of oppression by the system. They enjoy privileges and become cruel and debauched because of this, but they are also deprived of basic human rights such as open free love and reproductive rights. Because witches are not a group that relies on blood inheritance, and their generation is random, any hereditary feudal rule is impossible to exist among witches. So they are essentially a group of poor people who have been cut off from family ties, have no past, and have no future because they cannot give birth to children. They all lack the most basic family education and humanistic care. The average moral level of witches who grow up in this environment can be imagined. On the one hand, they are unfortunate and suffer the torture and oppression of the previous generation. On the other hand, they try their best to play the role of the oppressors of the next generation and continue to frantically carry forward the "fine traditions" of the older generation. I think the typical representative here is Tiffany. She does have a pitiful and tragic past, but it is also she who forced Faria to become "Parricide Faria". Therefore, such a society is actually a big prison for everyone and an object that needs to be broken. In order to avoid the recurrence of tragedy, what Asgen actually needs to do is to eliminate the source of the tragedy and build a better new society on top of this miserable old society. Here I have to mention another resistance force, the Celestial Sect. I believe readers with historical knowledge can see what the Celestial Sect cosplay is. The spread of the Celestial Religion under the rule of the witch largely relied on the resistance of the people. However, people's resistance without advanced experience and leadership is often passive and blind. But can we blame the people for this? Who forced the people to be like this? Who caused the people to become numb, passive and ignorant? Isn't she a witch who rules? So many people can accuse this generation of witches of not being good, but only the witches who rule are not good. The evil consequences were sowed by themselves, but the whole society suffered. The reason for the Celestial Religion's resistance is just, but the result of the resistance must be unjust. This is why Asgen will not collude with the Celestial Religion. The fatal problem of the Celestial Sect lies in two points - first, they actually have no way to solve the dragon problem without the witch. Second, they did not really achieve social justice. They just replaced one group of people who were not good people and expelled another group of people. Isn't it pitiful for the witch to be treated as a blood bag? Aren't the people who are fooled by religion pitiful? Their methods of controlling the people are neither noble nor any better than the previous witches. The entire organization is in a state of reverse elimination - the heroes who are the most ideal, the most daring to be the first, and the people who never forget their original aspirations are all dead, while the surviving upper-level ones are all scum. Society should not become oppressed by witches and continue to be oppressed with a halo of sanctity. In the current situation where Western fantasy is difficult to write, I actually really hope that the author can write a result that satisfies me. Of course, this does not mean that we have to cut corners and find a sword, and reach any capital or society in one step. In the final analysis, this is not a three-dimensional world. This is a real fantasy world with magic. But I also hope that justice, kindness and courage can permeate this land. Back to Faria, Faria is undoubtedly proud. She also has proud capital and proud achievements. Her magical attainments are undoubtedly genius, and her soul shines like a gem after suffering so much. Faria's initial behavior and thoughts were undoubtedly unpleasant. She despised "difficult people" and had wild imaginations. Her motivation for buying Asgen was not so pure. But after all, she is only a 17-year-old girl, shrouded in huge mental trauma from the past. Even with Stacey's guidance, she has never actually come out of the shadow of the past. She has been deceiving herself, thinking that she has no choice in everything. But when he met Asgen, who was in a similar situation, he used his actual actions to tell her that people have choices. There are many kinds of tragedies, some are caused by force majeure, and some are self-inflicted. But even if it is a tragedy caused by force majeure, you have to ask yourself when you take action, is there really no choice? Why does it have to be me who does it? No matter how powerful the external forces are, the human heart is always free. The most powerful tyrant cannot subjugate a free mind. But under the coercion of external forces, is it really destined to succumb to tragedy? Asjan stood up and showed Falia a huge "no". People can resist fate and resist this injustice. Even at the cost of life, the brilliance of human nature is enough to dispel the darkness in the heart. So, the light illuminated Faria's originally dark heart and led her into the sunshine. She found the sustenance of her life in Asgen, and also recovered the emotions that a human being should have. Under Asrang's care, she tried to be a human being again, and the bright seeds that were supposed to sprout sprouted. She deserved to be a better girl, didn't she? Asjan's contribution to Faria is not one-sided and unrequited. Faria is also giving back to Asgen and working hard to prove her changes. Therefore, they are truly equal, and they are a perfect match who respect each other as if they were guests. I sincerely pray for these two protagonists here, and hope that the author can give a happy ending. Finally, I would like to send my best wishes and hope that this book can continue to be written well. If it can be written well, it will definitely become a classic in Qidian.
