A Quiet Harbor in This Restless World
🦝 Recommending novels I enjoy and am currently following. 🦊 These are the genres I mainly enjoy: fan fiction, cultivation, historical fiction, light novels, showbiz, and mystery-solving. 🐰 I tend to favor fresh, relaxing, easygoing stories with sound values and a touch of absurd humor, as well as other kinds of traditional feel-good fiction, rather than toxic feel-good drivel. 🦭 When I have time, I'll write more detailed recommendations. When I don't, I'll just add a quick recommendation. I'l

Currently Following (An Emergency Kit for Reading Slumps)
These are the novels I've been following lately. Everything on this list suits my taste, has something distinctive about it, and is worth recommending in my opinion. They're only books that fit my personal preferences. If you like them too, I'll be delighted, but everyone has different tastes, so it's perfectly normal if you don't. I've been reading for ten years, and as a veteran bookworm, I'm always running out of things to read. Finding a good novel that suits my taste is no easy feat. Ratin

The author should not pay attention to some people, and his background is not in the country. It's in Japan. It's a family-run temple, so why can't there be women? Moreover, it has been inherited by Kukai for more than 1,200 years, so why should it change because of them?

Survivorship bias
I heard a story about a restaurant that, in order to improve the taste of its dishes, hopes that every diner who has eaten there can leave comments and suggestions. The restaurant owner listened carefully to every suggestion and made improvements, but as a result, business got worse and worse. Why? Because the diners who did not leave any suggestions are actually satisfied with the dishes, or in other words, most people don't know what taste they really like. On the contrary, the people who put forward opinions are a minority, and the improvements made by the restaurant owner based on the suggestions are not to the taste of other diners. As a result, frequent diners stopped coming. I mean, if people stay and watch silently because of your initial rhythm and style, then that's actually to everyone's taste. Keep the original idea, and the first person who reads it will not suddenly become frustrated. For readers who are dissatisfied with the first article, even if it is improved later, it does not mean that the reader will see the changes. Don't judge all situations based on the [clear] situation. What [the survivor] experienced does not mean that the [dead] also experienced it. The [message] obtained through screening means [limitation]. I was still looking for books to read, and found that the author pays close attention to the comment area, and even replies to everyone. 1. As I said above, the people who [speak] do not represent the majority. Listening to all and watching all will only affect your own rhythm. The person [Chef] should communicate with should also be a [Chef] or a [Gourmet], not an ordinary [diner]. 2. [Creator] has a natural information gap with [Reader]. The information learned by [Reader] is always missing, so the conclusion proposed by [Reader] must also be missing. 3. The outline is like a medicine chest. Although it is often a decoration, it cannot be left without it. Likewise, you also need to update your medicine cabinet frequently.
I can't stand it lately. Let me tell you what makes me uncomfortable.
I jumped on the last few chapters to express my feelings and mention a few confusing points. First of all, since we are cultivating Buddhism, why does Buddhist practice have little to do with Tao, morality, and spirit? From the beginning of the Vajra Body to the recent Five Powerful Bodhisattvas and the inheritance of destiny, they are all the cultivation of "fate", not the cultivation of "nature". According to common sense, the spiritual realm of Buddhist cultivation should exceed the level of physical strength, probably. But there was no performance at all. Well, it is true that the angry eyes of the Vajra are needed to slay demons and monsters, but who can help me with the smile of holding flowers to save the world and save people? This is almost the direct result of turning force into all problems. It's not that I can't accept it, it just feels wrong. It doesn't look like a practicing Buddha, but more like a practicing monk who protects temples. A virtuous and eminent monk, a big fist means a virtuous person, and a high cultivation level means an eminent monk. Actually, some of them are not easy to evaluate. There is a mismatch between spirit and strength, and I always feel like a demon is emerging every minute. And that bride, why not kill her? The previous monsters didn't see any blood, and they didn't care whether they were released or taken away. It's really hard to accept that they don't treat people as human beings and have heavy blood debts. And if you really want to cross, just wait and see for a change of heart? I haven't seen the protagonist chant sutras for education? If you lose your strength, you will be thrown into the temple and become a maid? Master Haifang still chants the sutra as he wishes. The one written by Qing Xing Deng is so... Girly. Every time I see her, I feel disconnected from the environment. Maybe you want to write about a happy enemy, but I just think she is noisy. After I finish complaining, I will wait and see the situation. I can't close my eyes and book everything.
Don't have a female protagonist, it'll be a bit of a drama
Japan, Monk, Tokyo can't be hot if it's not hot
The hanging heart finally died
The previous article is quite good. I also said that when you encounter a demon that harms others, you must get rid of it. When I was describing the beautiful young woman Luo Xinfu, I was very worried about whether my three senses would follow my five senses. The protagonist killed a dozen people when he saw it. Even though Luo Xinhu was trying to slander him and wanted to kill the tool, the protagonist still decided to forgive her and give her a home. When I saw the title of the chapter, Luo Xinhu, the female servant, I really couldn't hold back. What a holy monk with a high understanding. He plays a double standard.
It's very similar to the book next door, Tokyo Fox Pays a Favor. In the last few dozen chapters, the protagonist Chun Chun is just a tool to advance the plot. I want to write a group portrait but don't have the writing power. I added a bunch of monsters and other monks whose names I don't even remember. The Qing Deng Xing, which focuses on writing, is not likable at all 😒
That girl's hair is blooming, and there's no end to it. If the protagonist is moved, stop practicing Buddhism, and don't be disgusting.
Regarding the stereotype that "Japanese monks can get married", this is because most monks in Japan today belong to the non-mainstream Ichijo sect (a branch of the Pure Land sect, the official name is the Pure Land Shinshu). They did not observe the precepts from the beginning, while other sects were required to observe the 5 precepts of Buddhism before the Meiji period. After the Meiji period, in order to divide religious forces, the government used inheritance laws to induce monks not to observe the precepts. However, most mainstream sects still "self-discipline" in observing the precepts. For example, Master Kukai's Shingon sect "advocates" observing the precepts. As the nominal owner of the temple, the boss can marry a wife and have children, but he can only be a lay Buddhist and cannot promote Dharma and accept disciples. And all legal sects still strictly observe the five precepts. So, not all Japanese monks can marry and have children. In our country, the law does not prohibit monks from marrying and having children, and because the law is higher than the precepts, temples cannot prohibit monks from marrying and having children. At worst, they can just leave the temple after marrying their wives. The ordination of monks in our country is issued by the government, and the temple has no right to pursue it.
