Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.

The Abandoned and Unfinished Novel Log
I can't find The Tycoon of Hong Kong. Is it on my list? Can anyone recommend online games set during the Three Kingdoms period, or stories about transmigration or rebirth? I'm looking for stories without cheat abilities. I've noticed that unless a book is complete, there's a one-in-four chance it gets abandoned after I add it to this list. Seriously, several promising new novels have already been dropped. Collecting excellent works and novels with disappointing endings, while recommending the on

A Niche-Book-List Survival Guide (with Reviews ❁´Ω`❁)
No brainless, childish stories! Mainly recommending novels I have read myself. They will definitely involve imagination, humor, or a dark and realistic tone. There generally will not be multiple female leads. A lost masterpiece: from the start, I wanted to leave the jianghu.

Having read up to chapter 134, the more I read, the more I felt it was poisonous. Why did you have to use Chow Yun-fat for "A Better Tomorrow"? And you contacted other people three times in a row? They just hung up on you. Did you have to disgust the readers with this kind of scum? So what if you hijacked the other film's sequel?
He has no power, no social status, no background, yet he acts all high and mighty like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Can you please be a little more realistic?
The author has made assumptions about Hong Kong tycoons and entertainment industry moguls, and has underestimated the Taiwanese market! If you played like that in 1982, you wouldn't even know how you died! Can't you be a little more reasonable? There's no point in just having fun for the sake of having fun!
I've subscribed to the whole thing, and now I really have to back out. The early part of the book, up until Brother Da Rong was sent to jail, was quite enjoyable, and the later career storyline was decent. But the romance and women's relationships were a complete mess, and they kept focusing on that aspect; I couldn't bear to read any more. See you again in the martial world! 🙏
Seeing that the story about Yammie Lam was abandoned, I really don't understand where the author gets such malice towards someone who has already passed away. Although I don't know what she was really like, judging from various reports, she didn't seem like a bad person. If you don't like her, you can simply not write about her. 😐 I'm truly disgusted.
Why are there always these mindless posts? They have family, a sister, no connections, no ability, yet they still mindlessly offend the underworld. Are they afraid their family won't die fast enough, or do they think they're stupid enough?
Is the female lead a puppet of Manchukuo?
Kathy Chow is a descendant of the puppet Manchukuo regime. They're like Judas, controlling public opinion and propaganda! Huayi Brothers and Bona Film Group belong to them! Are you sure you're not a lackey?
Author, do you even need to look at what you've written since Yammie Lam's appearance? Meaningless expansion of the plot. The main storyline is scattered, unfocused, and disjointed.
Take
There's not much of a story; it's full of clichéd plot devices like showing off and getting humiliated. The protagonist, a lowly individual, does all sorts of self-important things, and the logic is weak and unconvincing. It's far inferior to the early story of Hehe Canghai's "Return to 1978"—just another typical, mindless, wish-fulfillment Hong Kong novel. Novels on Qidian are too expensive now, so I don't read them anymore.
