Somewhere in the vast sea of books, you'll always find one that suits you. Maybe it once kept you up all night, or maybe... well, maybe that's all. Would you read it a second time? Could you keep going?
A List of Masterpieces: Only Classics I've Read or Promising Newcomers, Here to Cure Your Reading Slump

Sharing Some Books I Like, Mostly with Multiple Heroines
Books I've read
My Niche Reading List
History, wuxia, sci-fi, entertainment, reborn stories... A few books I like, though some may be a bit niche. As for reborn business novels, I'm a numbers person, so I mainly recommend books that I feel have few major flaws, detailed data, brisk pacing, a clear central plot and solid logic, without being melodramatic. They should also feel realistic and immersive.
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.
Chinese Entertainment Novels

New list, please save it! Most of my recommendations have lots of women in them, so don't come in if that's not your thing! If you share my taste, save the list for now. I'll gradually recommend good books I've read. I'm a longtime reader but still a beginner in some ways, and I'm picky. If a book isn't readable, I won't recommend it! I especially like satisfying urban fiction, with entertainment-industry stories at the top of my list, particularly Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment. But someti
A Personal Reading List
A personal reading list, keeping track of my web-novel journey.
Liu Yifei / Yang Mi / Zhao Liying / Liu Shishi / Tang Yan
Worth rereading: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pretty good: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good for getting out of a reading slump: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Other ratings: There may be some dealbreakers, but parts of the character writing are good! Recommended authors who write multiple heroines: Da Jinmao (He likes explaining things, but has written several novels featuring famous actresses born in the 1980s. The most reliable pick.) Pang Yidian (He's written three multiple-heroine novels, but only one features a famous actress born in the 1980s.

Chu Qiu's Reading List
Writing: Simply put, this refers to an author's basic command of language and ability to tell a story. Themes: This means the ideas and messages traditionally found in literary works. Web novels do have their own peculiarities, of course, but I venture to say that a web novel's themes can generally be judged from two angles. First, the issues the author seeks to examine, along with the ideas and emotions conveyed through the work. Second, the perspective from which the work approaches its subjec

The success of Nezha 2 greatly benefited this book.
The domestic box office of Ne Zha 2 reached 14.8 Billion yuan, demonstrating that China truly needs good films. The audience's attendance is substantial, and good works genuinely have organic support. However, many artists are self-absorbed. Of course, if you can sell nearly 10 million bananas by simply sticking them on a wall, you'll definitely be self-absorbed 😰.
Here's a long review and a brief introduction.
I've been following this book all along, so let me briefly talk about its current situation. First of all, this book has been reported repeatedly and has been renamed three times, each time due to being reported and requiring rectification. As for the reason, it's of course because of the personal touches that many people dislike in the novel.
I'm currently on volume 2, chapter 32, and I just have to get this off my chest.
I felt a bit uncomfortable being subjected to the author's personal opinions. The main problem is that the author, like the sixth-generation directors in the book who are despised and rejected by the protagonist, always likes to stand from his own perspective and preach what is right and wrong, what the rules of the world should be, and how things work.
Entertainment Chen Kaige
Well, the author definitely has the writing skills, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish reading it. However, there's just too much personal opinion. Normally, 70% plot and 30% personal opinion is already quite good, but this author's is 70% personal opinion (i. E., Personal views), 20% plot, and 10% harem.
After reading this book, I really can't read any other Chinese or Hong Kong entertainment books anymore. The structure of this book is too grand, the realism is too strong, and the logical chain is too perfect. Although I know that the author is mostly speculating, the conclusions drawn from the results are reasonable and well-founded.
The protagonist is just a sycophant. He makes hundreds of millions for China Film Group, and China Film Group invests hundreds of millions in Hong Kong and Taiwan directors. Is he any different from a sycophant in real life? And the patriotic plot in the movie, neither China Film Group nor Shanghai Film Group are in a hurry, only the protagonist is anxious. What do you call that? It's like the emperor isn't worried but the eunuch is.
I can't look at myself as a director, I'm not going to compete in being worse.
The author kept saying they wanted to construct rather than deconstruct, but ended up completely dissecting the entertainment industry, leaving me utterly disheartened. After reading this book, I can no longer look at other entertainment novels the same way, and many things that bothered me before have now found theoretical justification. I was really into a book called "I Am a Director" before.
This is a work that the author is forcibly feeding readers with his personal biases!
This author attributes everything to conspiracy and intrigue, adding their own biases to everything, portraying themselves as virtuous and righteous while everyone else is villainous. And then there are the super-anti-fans of Liu Yifei and her mother, who depict them as materialistic, selfish, and utterly useless. Seriously? It's ridiculous! I can't even finish reading it!
A list of beautiful and voluptuous female celebrities in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry! 1970~1979 Lin Chih-ling (1974), Li Xiaoran (1976), Zuo Xiaoqing (1977) [Dong Xuan, Qin Lan, Chen Qiaoen] 1979 1980~1984 [Ady An, Liu Yan, Huo Siyan] 1980 Yang Rong, Zhang Meng, and Li Xiaolu (born in 1981) [Wang Zhi, Zhou Weitong] 1982 [Jiang Xin, Li Yixiao] 1983 1985~1989 Li Yufen 1985
At first glance, the protagonist's character setting seems quite appealing, but as you read on, you realize he's another guy who can't keep a secret. Throughout history, countless heroes have fallen because of lust. You're digging up people's secrets everywhere, and many people wish you dead. In the end, you can't even keep your own secrets. You're only surviving because the author is giving you a cheat code. Later on, you realize that the author has also realized the problem.
