In Memory of All Those Years I Went Crazy Chasing New Chapters
Thinking back, it must have been about ten years ago. I used to be desperate to keep reading, and that urge still comes over me now and then, though it isn't the norm anymore. I suppose that's growing up, but whenever the feeling returns, it's still hard to resist. This list holds the books I've read over the years that left an impression on me. It may not be complete; it's just a way to remember.

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.

Some Great Books I Like
I've been browsing books for ages and reading all sorts of things. Most are feel-good novels, System stories, or invincible-protagonist stories. Reading is all about having fun. I mainly recommend ongoing novels. (Only fifty slots? That's not enough for me. I'll gradually remove the ones I've finished.)

Books that set fan value are all garbage; don't bother reading them. This is the golden rule.
It's just a light novel, what's so interesting about it? I just don't understand how it got promoted to this position.
Reading Chapter 78
The whole story is quite humorous and interesting, but it has a bit of a collecting habit. It's amazing that the protagonist keeps calling the police and hasn't been ganged up on yet. It's set in a Hong Kong comedy, mostly involving recruiting henchmen to do charity work, with almost no female characters, which is quite baffling. Furthermore, the paid chapters repeat the same things over and over.
Why is this book being promoted so highly? What's wrong with it? Is it just my taste that's off, or is this the kind of book that readers on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) really into these days?
Keep it up! This is a rare find among Hong Kong films featuring intellectually stimulating novels. It's not one of those stories that talks about intellectual stimulation but is just about fighting and killing all the time.
I'm only speaking for myself. There are too few women in the story. What's the point of listening to their rambling? I don't want to see women. They just don't have girlfriends. Fantasy and martial arts novels used to be amazing, but why are they getting worse? Because everyone is like that castrated man, without women.
So it's a single female lead?
Hong Kong variety shows with only one female lead are just too heartbreaking… (Retreat)
I've noticed that most writers of Hong Kong variety shows are stuck on Hong Kong Island. Can't they write about things from a wider perspective? It gets boring after seeing so many things from such a small place.
Having multiple female protagonists is a flaw in urban novels.
Let me offer some advice. Nowadays, unless it's a very basic, light novel, most novels, especially urban fiction, try to feature a single female lead. It's easy to get distracted from the story. Modern novels emphasize basic logical consistency, and readers' expectations are increasingly high. Avoid writing anything illogical. No woman can accept polygamy.
I've watched a lot of Hong Kong variety shows, and this book is definitely among the top three in quality.
The protagonist is intelligent and resourceful, adhering to a strong "red and expert" approach to popular sentiment, thus avoiding the pitfalls of many Hong Kong crosstalk novels that end up being censored (404). Another issue that many authors struggle with is the portrayal of women; the protagonist's attitude is very appealing.
