A collection of books I’ve enjoyed, found worth reading, or wanted to gripe about.
The Best of Entertainment and Period Dramas (Updated July 14, 2026)
A list of entertainment novels I'm following. If you like this genre, give them a try. I often check the rankings. This genre is relatively easy for new authors to write, but competition is fierce too. I update regularly, so keep an eye on changes to the list's title.
Quality Reads of Every Kind, Old and New!
I’ve been reading for twenty years, and after so many books, very few have stayed with me. This list collects distinctive, representative works from different genres, along with promising new books. I don’t have time to write detailed reviews, but I’ll add them gradually. I only include ongoing serials and new releases, not completed works. These are purely my personal opinions. I hope they’re useful, and thanks for reading.
Curing a Reading Slump
0. Running out of books to read is really painful. I hope I can help fellow readers find some relief. 1. This list is updated from time to time. 2. Some books may become less engaging later on, but I added them because they made me fall in love at first sight, so I won't remove them. 3. My tastes are all over the place, so this list isn't limited to any particular genre or set of genres. 4. I hope there will always be novels I can enjoy wholeheartedly. 5. No female-oriented fiction or romance. 6

Several issues about entertainment novels
1⃣️, Imaginary or Different World Imaginary or different world entertainment novels are just a joke, entertainment, it is the culture, art and entertainment products of our real world. The reason why these movies, TV series and songs are popular is closely related to the current social background and the trend of the times. Even if the movies in our real world were released ten years in advance, they would definitely not be popular. For example, if "Wolf Warrior 2" was released in 2007, the box office would definitely not reach 30 million! Not to mention moving movies, TV shows and songs from our world to an alternate world or another world. It is absolutely impossible to be welcomed by people in another alternate world! 2⃣️, cheat or system plug-in issues Most entertainment novels have a very big loophole. It is written that the protagonist can remember all the scenes and lines of the movies he watched in his previous life, and can remember the scores and lyrics of all the songs he has listened to, and then the protagonist becomes an actor, singer or director. If the protagonist really has such a strong memory, the protagonist has copied dozens of books that are best-selling all over the world, and there are countless opportunities to make money such as futures and foreign exchange speculation at various points in time. People's time and energy are extremely limited, and they will definitely spend all their time and energy on these opportunities that can make them rich. Look at the rebirths of other urban life novels. They all spent a lot of time and energy running their businesses to become tens of billions or hundreds of billions. There is no way you would waste your time becoming an actor, singer or director in the first place! If the author writes that the protagonist becomes a billionaire or a billionaire, and then becomes an actor, singer or director, the novel will not be as exciting. It will be as ridiculous as if you were to farm with a golden hoe! So smart writers who write entertainment novels deliberately set the protagonist to be either a time traveler or a native, and then set the protagonist to have an entertainment system, so the protagonist enters the entertainment industry. Even if the protagonist is set to be reborn through time travel, the protagonist's memory will be deliberately set to be very average, and he will not remember the opportunities for making money in the future, nor the specific content of the novels and movies he read in his previous life. Then, it is set that the protagonist has an entertainment system, and he will naturally enter the entertainment industry to become an actor, singer or director. If the protagonist is reborn in time travel and has a good family condition, but does not have a memory golden finger and cannot remember the future fortune opportunities and the specific content of best-selling books and film and television dramas, then the protagonist can open an entertainment company and buy the copyrights of novels with film and game adaptation value in advance. Other film and television companies or game companies will naturally look to you to cooperate if they want to make movies, TV series or develop games. In this way, you can free ride and develop contacts and resources in the entertainment and game industries. It is simply impossible for the protagonist to become an actor, singer or director by himself. It is simply a waste of time. People's time and energy are very limited. If you spend time being an actor, singer or director, you will not have time to run your own company. The funniest thing is that many authors assume that the protagonist has a super memory golden finger or has a good family condition, and then actually writes the protagonist to be an actor, singer or director. As an actor or director, it takes several months to produce a movie or TV series. The scale of creating artistic value is far less than that of a film and television entertainment company tycoon. On the contrary, being an actor, singer or director is more tiring and hard than being an entertainment tycoon. An actor who is a little bit ambitious needs to fully mobilize his emotions when performing many scenes, which is very tiring! Some people need to lose weight crazily or gain weight crazily for a week for the plot, etc., Which is very harmful to the body. If you are filming a martial arts scene, you must first become familiar with it and practice the martial arts movements repeatedly. It is also more tiring to use wires. You may have to use wires for a day after shooting. I often shoot winter scenes in summer and summer scenes in winter, and have to soak in dirty water. Celebrities' usual words and deeds, walking postures, movements, etc., If you don't pay attention, you may be criticized by the public. Celebrities often have full announcement schedules and irregular life schedules. In addition, as an actor or singer, you have to accept the comments of all audiences, just like a monkey for people to watch. The protagonist obviously has such good conditions, but he still wants to be an actor, singer or director. This is just as funny as if you have the conditions to easily become a real estate tycoon, and then you work as plasterer every day, but you feel that the value you create is greater than that of the real estate tycoon. I have no objection to the author writing that the protagonist becomes an actor, singer or director, but I object to the author writing that the protagonist has a super memory golden finger or has a good family condition and becomes an actor, singer or director. If the author wants to write about the protagonist to be an actor, singer or director, he must not set the protagonist to have a super memory golden finger or have a good family condition. You can set the protagonist to have an entertainment system. The system will provide the protagonist with scripts or songs, and also improve the protagonist's professional skills, such as improving the protagonist's director skills, actor acting skills, screenwriting skills, composition and arrangement skills, singing skills, etc. If the author doesn't like system writing, he can set up a player in the protagonist's mind that can play future songs and film and television works. The protagonist then goes to school to learn directing skills, screenwriting skills, composition and arrangement skills, singing skills, etc., And then copies the contents of the player. You can also set the protagonist to dream of the entire content of a certain movie, TV series or song in the future only when sleeping or occasionally dreaming, and after waking up, he can remember the entire content of just one movie or song. Wait until the next time you occasionally dream, then you can open up the next opportunity The following are some reasonable setting combinations If the protagonist is an actor, singer, director, etc., 1. Poor + time-travel rebirth (memory is average, cannot remember future opportunities to make a fortune, film and television scripts, etc.) + System (provides scripts, songs, improves professional skills) 2. Poor + time-travel rebirth (memory is average, cannot remember future opportunities to make a fortune, film and television scripts, etc.) 3 , Aboriginal poor + system (providing scripts, songs, improving professional skills) If you write the protagonist to be an entertainment tycoon 1. Poor + have a super memory golden finger 2. Superior family + time travel and rebirth (memory is average, cannot remember future opportunities to make a fortune, film and television scripts, etc., But remember which film and television dramas will be popular, mobilize your own resources, purchase novel copyrights in advance, invest in film and television dramas). 3⃣️, change the timeline or world background There are some entertainment novels that hard-write movies, TV shows, songs or variety shows that have been released before this point in time as not being released due to parallel time and space reasons, and then let the protagonist participate. For example, the protagonist travels back in time and is reborn in 2005, and then the protagonist goes to direct "Run Lola Run". For example, it would be extremely embarrassing to write that the protagonist traveled through time and was reborn in 2016, and then the protagonist participated in the variety show "Fengshen Training Camp". All the stars in the China Entertainment World written in some books are the same as those who exist in our reality, but making movies does not require permission and censorship, and the development of technology and the Internet is several years faster than our reality. Why write like this? The author is too lazy to look up the information, so he can just find some foreign movies and copy them. Anyway, it can be released in China without censorship and permission. , have been promoting movies on Weibo and short video platforms since 2005, because China Entertainment World is also several years ahead in the development of the Internet industry. There are also books about the China Entertainment World. Most of the stars that exist in our reality still exist, but some key people no longer exist. For example, write that Christopher Nolan does not exist, and then let the protagonist mainly copy Nolan's movies. Some books state that Jay Chou does not exist, and the protagonist mainly copies Jay Chou's songs. Some authors set up the system to provide film and television scripts to the protagonist, and actually provide movie scripts that have already been released. As long as the protagonist receives the script, the system can erase all traces of the movie in this world. It's so embarrassing that I just want to ask this author, can't you find a good movie after the protagonist is reborn through time travel? I despise all novels that change the timeline or world background! ! ! Is the author's ability to control and arrange the plot so poor? Can't the plot be reasonably arranged based on the real timeline and the backgrounds and characteristics of other stars? 4⃣️. The wrong way to play with female stars Many books write about the protagonist being in love with several female stars at the same time, and then these female stars know each other's situation and can tolerate each other, which is simply outrageous. Most of these authors treat their readers as mentally retarded, and they all write about female celebrities as tools, as if the female celebrities they write about do not have independent personalities. If this woman has no money or career, she may tolerate it for a while, but as long as she makes money, she will definitely not tolerate it anymore. If it is for the sake of resources, I will at most maintain a casual relationship with you and will not continue to fall in love with you! Of course these women also have many other friends at the same time! Look at the tycoon Howard Hughes. He had so many women at the same time, but most of them fell in love with him. In many books, it is written that the protagonist hangs out with different female celebrities every day, or even several a day. Who can stand it? In reality, those rich people who have dozens of lovers may only be able to sleep with one lover a day. If a person does it more than several times a day for a long time, his body will definitely become useless soon. Unless the protagonist is set to have a body-enhancing system plug-in. 5⃣️. Preaching Many authors write a novel about the entertainment industry and always preach at length in the book instead of mainly writing about the interaction between the protagonist and supporting characters. Readers pay money to read books, not for you to preach. Many authors think that they are not preaching, but writing narration. Haha, then you have to reflect on the problems in your writing.

Let's talk about the advantages first: The author's setting and the protagonist's development route are very innovative, which is very different from most Huayu novels Disadvantages: The protagonist seems to have not changed much. According to the development in the book, he has become the president of the association. When encountering trouble, he is still the same as at the beginning. The first thought is violent means. The ability to overturn the table is good, but it is really inappropriate for you to use such methods at this point. The protagonist has completely formed path dependence, and is a bit underestimating the power of the state machine. It feels like the protagonist has a mental problem and is completely unlike a normal person.
My thoughts on reading this book: I was shocked by the first dozen chapters. I didn't expect this kind of plot, and the protagonist is a bad guy! This is a gangster story, but the environment is not Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s! Protagonist characters: gangster, pimp, "illiterate", reckless husband, adulterer, gangster. Unexpectedly, when reading this, the story is quite interesting and I can keep reading. What puzzles me is that this actually passed the review! It's so dark! This novel is such an intuitive reflection of "reality is cannibalistic". "A mafia organization disguised as a movie studio." This novel is so evil! I can't stop watching it. There are more and more private goods being brought in, and some chapters are almost close to the main text. The theme is becoming more and more biased, and filming dramas and movies only accounts for a small amount of it, as if it were brushed off in one stroke. The "Wolves of the Northwest" part is okay, the part of "The Siberian Tigers" shows the author's intention to extend the front line, but brother, I think it's good because your story is unconventional. Now that it's so tiring, how can I spend money to subscribe with peace of mind. There is a plug-in "film and television library" that you can't use, and it will cause some kind of homogeneous aesthetic fatigue. Is this a big tiger that moves quickly at the beginning and attracts people and makes money? The author's thoughts were all devoted to Yin people and Yin Biao, and he kept talking about things here and there, and he never forgot the crooked ways. "New World" brings the main line back again. The nature of urine does not change. This is the first time I saw this hydrological skill at the starting point. There are too many irrelevant contents!
The settings are too vague….
It looks like time travel at one time and like a plug-in at another. I don't understand the kind of twists and turns that separate the protagonists. You say it's time travel, you say it's Arhat and you know BYD's business stuff, it's not time travel and you don't understand the film and television industry. This kind of jumping over and over again... I'm speechless
I came across this book inadvertently in Shu Huang Boring. To be honest, I was really surprised that the quality of this book is so high, but the promotion is not enough, haha! Otherwise, it might have been removed from the shelves by some elite readers. I personally think that if this book could be updated to 3 million words with the current quality, it would be enough to be recognized as a god in the Huayu category. The author has a strong writing style, and the novel has a very strong visual sense. The character of the novel's protagonist is decisive and decisive, and it has a sense of déjà vu in a Korean gangster movie. The setting of the protagonist's black society and the director's career in Huayu is very interesting! Of course, novels are entertainment, and some things cannot be taken seriously, such as exchanging the protagonist's connections and time-travel memories for a career, and the excessive and unreasonable treatment of employees. These are all trivial matters!
The front is good, but the Siberian tiger is very bad at first. This is an entertainment article. You go to engage in poverty alleviation and you still have dozens of chapters?
I don't understand how the content of this book passed the review😥

This is the real China Entertainment boss, not the China Entertainment bosses written about in other novels, who are actually just dead lickers of female celebrities.
