My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
Qingdan: Reading Log
I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p

Red beans grow in the southern lands, a place now far away. What does longing matter? No one cares anymore. Drunk, I lie in the city that never sleeps, neon lights everywhere. In my wine glass, such an overflowing sea of passion. Most readily forgotten are the poems of old. What I look down on most is longing. I guard this love, afraid people will laugh, and afraid they’ll see through me. Spring comes again, and the red beans bloom, but no lover comes to pick them. Fireworks embrace the wind,

Strange dream
Chen Shi woke up again, but in front of him was a strange ancient city. The masonry beneath Chen Shi's feet was old, and the masonry was also covered with traces of natural wear and tear caused by the passage of horses and carriages. But the strange thing is that the surroundings are shrouded in thick white fog, and the rest of the buildings in the ancient city are shrouded in white fog. Only the eaves tiles sticking out of the white fog make people know that this is an ancient city shrouded in white fog. There seemed to be countless figures swaying in the white mist, and the only building not shrouded in the white mist was the restaurant in front of Chen Shi. He wrote several words with ancient meaning: "Wuwang Restaurant". Chen Shi felt as if he had been to this place, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no trace. He vaguely remembered that lying in this place would have bad consequences. The surrounding buildings in the white mist gave Chen Shi an unknown feeling, and he entered the restaurant in front of him heartily. What makes Chen Shi feel strange is that there are several people in his current restaurant. Among them are clothes that are currently popular, but there are also clothes made according to ancient styles, and there are also clothes of a shape that Chen Shi does not recognize. A few people looked at each other, and one of them, a young man wearing a robe currently popular in Xiniu Xinzhou, said in a panic: "Why do I appear in this strange place, it's all white mist and there are no people around, who are you?" "Why don't I remember what happened before?" One of the old men with different clothes asked strangely: "Why are you still speaking the ancient language? It is no longer popular now. I can't seem to remember what happened before coming here. It's really strange." Chen Shi also found that the pronunciation he spoke seemed to be the same as that of the young man, and also different from that of the old man. Before these people could continue the discussion, a ghost appeared. It was a ghost in the form of black mist. It had countless open mouths all over its body, but strangely, there were no tongues in some of the mouths. The mouth with the tongue opened and closed and began to speak, "I found you because I want you to tell me a ghost story. I also hope that you will not lie to me when you tell the story." Most of the people did not pay attention to the ghost's words, but they did not dare to stand up and fight against the ghost because the skills were also forgotten. Then they each sat down in their seats in the restaurant lobby and began to tell ghost stories at the request of the ghost. The old man who had lost his memory made it up casually: "That was a strange thing I encountered in the first half of my life. That night, just as I was getting ready to get up, I encountered a huge ghost..." At this point, the old man's tongue strangely fell off, and then under the influence of a strange force, it entered one of the free mouths of the ghost. Then he moved his tongue flexibly a few times, opened his mouth again, and began to let the remaining unlucky guy continue to tell him ghost stories. The ghost also seemed pleased with the new tongue. The old man's figure disappeared into the restaurant. The remaining people timidly began to tell him ghost stories under the ghost's command. But unfortunately, the young man after the old man also said: "I have also experienced such a strange thing, encountered a ghost..." And then his tongue fell to the ground. After that, it was Chen Shi's turn. He felt a little bad because of the miserable situation of the first two. After thinking for a moment, he spoke confidently: "I woke up again one day and found that I had come to a strange place, an ancient city shrouded in white mist. I also came to the only restaurant in front of me and met a strange ghost with mouths all over its body. It asked us to give him The ghost story started, but the first two storytellers strangely lost their tongues in the middle of the story. Now it is my turn to tell the ghost story, and I decided to tell it about this strange thing I encountered. " Chen Shi stopped speaking consciously when he said this. The ghost felt a little angry, but reluctantly let Chen Shi go. After Chen Shi left, it asked the remaining people: "The ghost story it told me cannot be repeated." The remaining people suddenly fell into despair. After Chen Shi woke up, he recovered all his memories. He was a little scared to find that he had come to the ghost city in his dream where his tongue would fall off when he told lies. But fortunately, Chen Shi had some impressions because he had been here before, and successfully saved his tongue from the ghosts. After that, Xiniu Xinzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou on the other side of the sea began to spread that there were ghosts who liked to pull people into dreams and tell ghost stories to them. People who fell into dreams would come to Wuwu Ghost City, and if they lied, they would lose their tongues. Everyone was shocked when they heard about it. Finally, a powerful man who was very good at dreaming took action and killed the ghost, which ended people's panic. #Ghost Story Summer Conference#
Teacher Zhaizhu, has your different world system expired?
I have been a fan for almost 10 years. It has become an important habit in my life to follow Mr. Zhaizhu's works every day. I would like to thank Mr. Zhaizhu for his hard writing over the years. The past few books are like real-life stories of the author going to a different world. The plots are fascinating and the characters can be vividly portrayed. Even the "villains" can't help but be praised as heroes. Now it is just talk on paper, lacking the rapid changes and undercurrents of the real situation. So far, we have only talked about the layout and methods of Chen Shi's side, but what about the Twelve Aristocratic Family and Despair Slope? Is there only a joint counterattack on the day of registration? Is there only one heavenly weapon from Despair Slope? It may seem like the strongest method, but this is also a clear sign... Of course, this is also my perspective as a god, and like online writing, being able to maintain the overall rhythm and story direction is actually very rare and cannot be forced. It may also be that the author has not changed and I am more mature. Author, where is your different world system? You can't carry a camera and go to another world to take real photos. I hope Teacher Zhaizhu can polish the storyline a little more. Or I hope that one day, after Teacher Zhaizhu gives up writing new stories, he can reconstruct these stories and they will surely be passed down to future generations.
Brother, don't write it like a cool article. There are either good guys or pure bad guys like Kukusha. There are so many bad guys. Please design the plot.
Analysis from the latest chapter 374
Known: (1) There is a gap between the sky and the earth where Xinzhou is located, the "true god" blocks the real starry sky, and there is still endless evil energy between the sky and the earth. (2) Anyone who practices according to the old system to the state of "integration" will be invaded by evil spirits and affect their thinking. And the higher the level of cultivation thereafter, the more evil energy invades, and the easier it is to be affected, until the Hedao is completely out of control when it ascends, and disaster-level evil changes break out. (3) The True King returned from Despair Slope and quickly abolished the old cultivation system and spread the new system. People who practice the new system will not be affected by evil spirits when they enter the "Fusion" realm, and they will not become evil even if they practice to the "Mahayana" realm. The only drawback is the shortened lifespan. (4)) People who step into the realm of "divine descent" for the first time will briefly regard the true god as the soul. When the protagonist descends, he reveals two pieces of news: ① The true god has no physical body. ②The true God is not a living creature, but seems to be dead. (5) When the ancestor of the Thirteenth Family appeared in the void, he had the same flesh and blood tentacles connecting heaven and earth as Jinghong. (6) There is more than one person practicing the shelling technique in the Taoist sect, and there are also several previous ancestors. Speculation: (1) Although practicing the new system can solve the problem of evil, it seems that no one can anymore practice to the state of "hedao ascension". The highest realm that can be reached on the Xinzhou Continent seems to be the only "Mahayana" at present. (2) "Evil energy" has a certain degree of life, and its goal seems to be to infect, devour and destroy all non-evil life. When the protagonist found out the evil spirit infected on his body, the evil bugs were burned and screamed. (3) The biggest difference between the old and new systems is that those who practice the new system have a divine fetus given by the "true god". Therefore, the divine fetus is what determines whether a person becomes evil or not. (4) But just like energy will not disappear out of thin air, evil spirits will not disappear out of thin air either. Therefore, for those who practice the new system, it is not that they will not be invaded by evil spirits, but that the divine fetuses given by the "true God" bear the evil transformation for them. (5) People with a divine fetus will not turn evil, but after all, the divine fetus comes from the true god, and these transferred evil spirits will still affect it to a greater or lesser extent. This is also the reason why the "true god" raises its eyes at night to turn dead objects evil, and it is also the reason why it gets dark earlier and earlier. Because "True God" can't hold on any longer. This also rectifies the name of the "True God". The True God is temporarily placed in the "decent" camp. In the past, it was speculated that the True God was grazing, but now it seems that he has misunderstood it. (6) Not being a living creature also means that the "true god" may be the product of mass production of artifacts of creation, and there may be more than one. The big eyeball that sprays mist every other month in the underworld can be used as a testimony. (7) Among the people who have practiced the shelling technique before the Taoist sect, some people have successfully "integrated" with this evil world. Although they are not seriously ascending, they can be regarded as evil immortals to a certain extent, and their life spans have been extended. (8) The technique created by Shaohuo Taoist and Tianzhen Taoist can prevent himself from evil transformation. When he was about to join the Tao, he was attacked by someone. There is a high probability that an evil immortal was controlled by the "evil will" and came to do it. Because the "evil will" does not allow those who agree with it to have free will. The innocent Taoist must die. (9) If the ancestors of the 13 aristocratic families had not practiced the new system, they would have been 13 calamity-level evil spirits. It was just that the power of sacrifices and incense from the 13th family for so many years temporarily suppressed their evil thoughts. Later, when the protagonist comes to reckon with the situation, if the sacrificer dies to a certain extent, the incense will no longer be suppressed and will inevitably explode. (10) The innocent Taoist technique is not complete enough, and the protagonist will inevitably continue to upgrade this technique in the later stage. This is just my personal understanding. If you don't like it, please don't criticize it. All book friends are welcome to discuss it. The following are realm maps made by other book friends

Compared to the early stage, it is in the sky and under the ground. It even collapsed when I got to the Great Heavenly Lord. In order to see what kind of plot the grandpa who was well portrayed in the early stage would have in the fairy world, the more I followed it, the more disgusting it became. I will not follow it again in the future.
Have fairy novels turned into magical novels? Some advice from old fans
Writing a book is not easy, so for many years, I started to pursue it, and I also supported it with physical books. It's just that what the plot is like now, whether it's fairy tale or fantasy, the writing is magical enough. If you have made enough money, then close the book early. The royalties from the past few books should be enough to leave some dignity for yourself; if you have not made enough yet, then sort out the plot logic and details. It is like playing house. Another suggestion is that in the current situation, I feel that the author's efforts and energy are not enough. If you want to continue writing books in the future, it is better to try to finish the book first, which is equivalent to completing the first draft, and then slowly refine it. When you are satisfied, release it for serialization bit by bit. The previous series was suitable for those who had to support their families when they were young, and were looking forward to writing more and earning more every day. There is no shortage of money now, so we should pursue excellence. Be responsible for your own reputation and your readers. Now it's like chasing a duck to get it on the shelves, isn't there any pressure on the author?
Pig, keep up the good work!
Starting from The Legend of the Shepherd, Chasing Home Pigs, the writing has really gotten better and better, the writing style has become more and more streamlined, and the imagination is still very big. Although there are similar plots, the performances are all very good. A few days ago, I heard a kid in the second grade of junior high school talking about the three elixirs of Ba Ti, which shows its influence. I have also recommended Zhaizhu to foreigners. If the story of the pig can be translated and spread overseas, it will be a great cultural export!
[The funniest scene] Commentary on the Analects of Confucius
My name is Chen Shi. Because I am very honest, people in the village call me "Little Honesty". My husband was a scholar who was hanged. He read a lot of poems and books during his lifetime, so I often asked him about the meaning of "Wanyu". My little notebook is filled with my husband's annotations on Confucius's "The Whispering Words": Confucius said: When a person is about to die, his words are also good. Comment: No matter how vicious a person is, he can still speak well after being beaten until he is almost dead. Teacher's teaching: So if you meet someone who doesn't speak well, just beat him to death. Confucius said: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Comment: Master will not leave things to others if he does not want them. Teacher's teaching: This tells us to be like the Master and put an end to inexplicable kindness. Others' inexplicable kindness must have other intentions for you! Confucius said: If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful. Comment: A gentleman must act harshly when encountering problems, otherwise he will not be able to establish prestige. Mr. Teach: Only by being ruthless and having a black heart can you establish your authority! Confucius said: The one who first made the figurines has no descendants. Comment: When dealing with the chief culprit, we must eradicate it without leaving any descendants! Teacher's teaching: If you let your descendants run away, they will come to you for revenge when they grow up, or say something strange like thirty years to Hexi. Confucius said: Once it comes, let it be at peace. Comment: Now that I'm here, let's bury him here. Teacher's teaching: Friends who often kill people know that it is easy to kill people and it is difficult to throw away the body, so you must do a good job in the follow-up work of the murder, and pay attention to "burying him in peace". When he is buried, you will feel at ease! I finally finished memorizing what I learned today, but my husband also said that we need to unite knowledge and action... I understand, I'm going to practice it now! #Amway Famous Scene##On the Avenue#
It's a pity that Tianzun's completion level is too low.
If you are not in a hurry to go to the fairyland, it would be much better to portray Tianzun in a more plump form. Starting from the journey of treasure hunting on the willow leaves, it is simply a vast ocean, and the preparation is not done well. It would be ugly to rush to open a new map and forcefully continue the mink tail eating scene...
The latest information revealed in Chapter 377
Known (1) Despair Po takes action. The man who transplanted the protagonist's divine fetus has reached the Mahayana realm and killed Jinghong with one move. A total of 6 Mahayana in the previous sect have not defeated Jinghong and were infected... (2) The disaster level in Chen Shi regards Xiao Shi as the leader and recognizes Qingyang's parents. (3) The portal of Hongshan Hall does not take effect for some reason. (Too far away? Or is it isolated by the realm of demonic transformations?) Speculations: (1) Despair Slope belongs to the decent forces. At least the original intention of creating this organization is not bad, which can be seen from solving the disaster-level demonic transformations. At least for now, they are not in the same group as the "evil". The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Some people say that being decent still steals the divine fetus? They must want to play the big game just like the 13th family. The crime of possessing a treasure in online articles has become commonplace. Of course, they have to find a way to get such a powerful plug-in into their hands. However, this approach can also prove that Despair Slope has actually slightly deviated from its original intention and begun to decay. (2) The protagonist recognizes the demon in the sea and has a great background. He recognizes Qingyang's parents and is suspected to be from the ancestral land of China. (3) The person who transplanted the divine fetus is so powerful that he can be said to be the undisputed number one among the characters who have appeared so far among the true gods outside the world. This person may not necessarily die in the later stage, because he is not a small role in the early stage. If it is more dramatic, he will definitely not have the decision-making power on the transplantation of the divine fetus, so in order to eliminate his guilt for the child's champion, he will probably do a lot of good things to make up for it. He may even be arranged to die in order to save or protect the protagonist. I have to say that Zhu Tianzun's fragmentary skills have become even more profound!
