Shennong Tastes Every Herb: Book List No. 1
A list combining recommendations with warnings about books to avoid. Each list can hold 80 recommended books, and this one is full. Whenever I find a new book, I'll move one from List No. 1 to List No. 2 and add the latest details. I've personally tried every book here. I've also specifically marked books with highly divisive reputations, where the toxicity is strong but the praise is plentiful. There are books in every genre, mostly recommended according to my own tastes. I hope good books won'

Lighthearted, Offbeat Picks for Veteran Reader Black Cat Jue
These days, I prefer books that feel fresh. Something lighthearted is even better. Lately I've been into farming and development stories, fan fiction, historical tech, and the like. The ratings are for books I've read at least part of. If I kept reading, it means I could get through at least the beginning, so none are rated below 5. Books rated 5–6 usually fell apart later or became ridiculously padded, XXX, so I changed their ratings.

Shennong
To be honest, this book is very attractive to me, but first of all, it doesn't matter if you have a slow pace, or if you have an abusive master, but you have to make clear progress to become stronger. Let's not talk about the slow level up. For wizards, just slow down. When it is released, we will talk about planting trees. There is no significant progress in Chapter 30, and there is no hope of planting trees. Goldfinger is for killing monsters to gain points, and planting trees is written as the basis for becoming stronger. Every time I am still or moving, I can imagine that you will not be able to spread the trees even after planting trees, and all kinds of bad troubles will come to your door. Secondly, there are less than 300 maps that have been changed three times. You are a one-level wizard and a weak Kun who can't even make a splash in the big situation. You have to change the map three times? I would like to ask you to find another market. You were forced to leave again. No, did the protagonist kill God's father or what, so he brought trouble to others? Let's do it this way. I'm tired of looking at it. See you again if we are destined
Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs
It looked quite frustrating - every time I had the slightest sign of taking off, I was forcefully pushed back. The characters and supporting roles are emotionally full, layered, rational, and the emotional interactions are quite interesting and not popular. However, the main plot is about pulling my hips, which made me feel frustrated while reading it. (Food and grass before the fifth-level wind dragon battle in Soul of the Wilderness) The plot of the drug-testing apprenticeship stage is bland, with a little poison, but it is a common routine. When the academy won the first place, it was immediately overwhelmed, and even the teacher was shocked - a third-level rune constructor, really didn't have any connections? Okay, even if your plot has a specific arrangement, the transition of mentality in the middle is indeed smooth, and the characters can stand up. At best, it's still frustrating. Then we arrived in the North. The protagonist didn't even reach the second level, and he had fourth-level subordinates who obeyed his orders. Only a third of the known map of the North has been mapped out, and you say "it can't be developed anymore" - obviously the adaptive expertise still needs to be explored, but you haven't set foot in colder places, so you insist on going to other places to open the map alone. The protagonist's combat power is at the limit of the first level at best. The academy's combat power has suffered a loss and he has not yet long enough to remember it. The protagonist's character, which was foreshadowed by the change of mentality, should not be forgotten so easily. Opening a new picture is a set of fixed templates: first level versus second level, but also emphasize "the kind that is not very powerful in the second level" and "or barely a normal level". We must benchmark the protagonist's ultimate combat power, why bother? More nonsense later. A wilderness soul directly dragged the person into the fifth-level battlefield. The protagonist had just reached the second-level combat strength at that time. Relying on the golden finger to forcefully suppress the fifth-level recovery power, he also touched the energy core under the eyes of the opponent - the first reason was "the blind spot of vision when the high one beats the low one", and the second reason was "it is also the element of wind". It really makes people speechless. Then the first-level soul of the wilderness swallowed up the fifth-level core, and was stuck on the way from the first to the second level. It just felt like it was "full." The combat power is so stuck. When I was at level 0, I absorbed wind elements from other people's second and third levels, but I couldn't get up to the next level after absorbing them for a long time. When I went to the battlefield, I sucked in a bunch of ready-made second and third-level energy, and it took me a long time to get up to the first level. Every time I see it taking off, I will shoot you to death immediately. The slight hint of pleasure that first appeared was gone in the next second, which was really uncomfortable. Goldfinger also has no sense of existence. Every upgrade seems to be "just right", and the "just right" special effects can be used in the restraint relationship of the next level - this kind of "just right" is not as good as directly making the ability a stable enhancement. The whole thing is a repeated cycle of "take off--be pressed--change another place to continue---be pressed again". The emotions of the characters and the description of the supporting roles are clearly online, but the big frame cannot hold it. The more I read, the more I feel it is unbearable.
It's a big question that I have to mention and let the author take a look.
Are all the items sold in this book sold at a 50% discount? Highly liquid products should be sold at a 55% discount? Outrageous and over the top. To put it bluntly, if you can receive the materials at half price. A large number of people in this world are working as intermediaries. If the products purchased within a year are sold, the annual profit will be 100%. Able to sell within 1 month with a profit of 1200% last year (*12). The author also has a background in finance and markets. Any industry with huge profits will definitely have a large number of arbitrageurs engaged in this industry. In the end, the profits of this industry will be compressed to a reasonable range (one price fixed by the market) If the acquisition of materials industry can achieve such high profits, those who work hard to defeat monsters to obtain materials will not earn as much as those who acquire materials. Who will fight monsters? (The protagonist group hunted level 3 monsters at sea worth 2500 gold coins, and the purchase price was 1250 gold coins. As a result, the auction of a level 3 monster at the turn-around auction exceeded 2500 gold coins. Is this reasonable? If I do this, I will put it on the auction house myself and turn around and earn more. More than 1,000 gold coins? How many companies don't make 1,000 gold coins in a year? The reasonable logic should be that the purchase price of goods is around 20% off the market price, and even 10% off for high-circulation products. As an acquirer, the profit comes from the "turnover rate". It is a single high profit. Such a market is unhealthy and will be educated by the market. Explain from the perspective of the product itself. Even if the material is not a high-frequency demand type, the more so, the price of the product may not be lower than the market price. It is also difficult for the demand side to purchase. This is a "long-tail market". Although the market circulation is not high, the pricing fluctuates greatly, and may even be several times or even ten times higher than the actual value. A 50% discount is also an extreme situation. Explain from the perspective of store management, general stores want to open well, especially materials buying and selling stores. Many store managers know the needs of customers. When passers-by come to sell materials, the store managers often know who has the demand, and the turnover cycle is actually very fast. The inventory is very small, and even if it is really overstocked, it can be sold at a 40% discount, because a large number of people who don't need the materials can still stock up and look for opportunities to resell at the original price, which is also a huge profit. Finally, let's talk about the industry, procurement cost and market price. The difference is relatively large. For example, for bulk commodities with a shelf life, fruit farmers sell them at very low prices, but the market price is very high. However, the price difference is due to "channels", "logistics", "goods damage", etc. So it is not that the purchase price is cheap. , But other costs in the product sales process are very high. If the 50% off "on-site" purchase is really justified, it must be 1) "The shelf life of the material is short" 2) The inventory is occupied for a long time (difficult to sell), and there are substitutes. (Non-substitute products belong to the long-tail market and can even be sold at a markup) 3) If transportation is involved, there is also a shipping price and delivery price. Besides this, all other products should not be purchased at a 50% discount. The market purchase price of a level 3 material is 50% off, which is incomprehensible. To put it bluntly, the market has not spontaneously formed several private trading gathering platforms for magicians? One transaction is equivalent to earning more money for one piece of material. There must be too many such organizations. This book is good everywhere, but the consumer market is too outrageous. The author is a science and engineering major, and I like his style very much. I am also a graduate student in science and engineering, and I also work in finance. I am quite sensitive to this. I hope the author can plan the rationality of market prices.
This book is useless
It's pretty good at the beginning, but it gets more and more uncomfortable as I write it later. It originally revolved around Wind Spirit Moon Shadow and gradually escalated, and the rhythm was very good. But since I left the academy and came to the Northland, the writing has become more and more ugly, and the strength level has collapsed. It is still level one now. I no longer write runes, and there is no practice. I only do agriculture every day, and I wonder if you have lost your mind if you engage in agriculture in the wizarding world. First-level mage, if you don't practice, don't add points around the golden finger, you start by relying on mathematics, and now you are developing agriculture, your book will be ruined.
Don't be fooled by the title, this book is purely about tormenting the protagonist, not about being a cool novel, because he has been suppressed. The plot is very weak, skipping more than ten chapters does not affect the plot.
I was hooked after reading the first chapter.
One sentence from the article can reveal that the author does not have basic entry-level scientific literacy: The magic in this world is by no means the superstitious means such as drawing talismans and chanting incantations used by alchemists, but the real art of magical change, a kind of power that can change things and reality through unscientific methods. Let me tell the author about the two errors in this sentence: 1. In real life, magic is considered unscientific because it cannot be proven that it is real and effective. Once magic can be realized in reality, then someone will definitely study the principles of magic realization and summarize the rules, and it may become a school curriculum. Therefore, the method in the novel that can repeatedly achieve magic cannot be described as an unscientific method. 2. Classify drawing talismans and reciting incantations as superstitious means, advocating that spells are the power of heaven. They are not only effective in pulling off obstacles, but also reflect the stupid nature of the protagonist. Suppose you suddenly travel to a world with spells, and the spells are all real. Do you dare to conclude that you did not draw talisman and recite incantations? Immediately classify this as superstition? From these two points, it can be inferred that the author's scientific literacy is not high, his logical ability is not good, and there is a high probability that he is poor in science in reality.
This book is a mixed bag
The author writes whatever he wants, which makes me confused. I thought the power was attributed to myself, but then I turn around and start farming. I keep farming and I am the king of the first tribe in the north. The next second, I go to serve as the leader of another dynasty.
What is the cool thing about wizard novels?
I read several wizarding novels one after another, and either I disliked the protagonist or abused the protagonist. The previous wizard novels had robotic protagonists with no human touch at all.
Was it really you who wrote the previous book "Kenshu"? This book is completely useless. The protagonist is not even half as good as the sword master. The protagonist is a masochist. The main plot has no sense of satisfaction at all. In other words, every time he is halfway through the enjoyment, something unexpected happens and interrupts the original sense of enjoyment. As a result, the protagonist keeps getting frustrated, running away, getting frustrated, and running away.
Half chapter died from poison
The author's scientific literacy is basically zero. It doesn't matter in itself, but you chose to set the protagonist as a math major at a top university... Poison, okay? I won't talk about scientific metaphysics anymore, but any college student who doesn't even know the definition of science will be ridiculed in the dormitory. The taste of civil science is too strong. I didn't go to college or herd sheep in college, and then I read some messy civil science books. This is the way I talk. Typical ones include: The end of science is theology; (there is a soul/travelling/superpowers, etc.) This is not scientific; science has failed, etc. First of all, please clearly distinguish between "science" and "technology", okay?
