To My Former Chuunibyou Self
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?
Red Chamber Novels I’ve Enjoyed
2026.6.1 1. Most Dream of the Red Chamber fan fiction falls under alternate history, but it's fundamentally different from conventional historical fiction. The unique charm of these stories lies in the lives of the women in the garden. If a book uses the title Dream of the Red Chamber but ignores the fates of the women throughout, then the words "Red Chamber" in the title are meaningless. If it's just a historical novel wearing a Red Chamber disguise, it would be better to write straight-up hist

I've been reading for over ten years. I've been bored and in a reading slump lately, so I thought I'd put together a list of books I'm reading and give them a quick rating out of five.
Books I'm Interested In
Updating a book list is such a chore. Too lazy to write reviews.
A Dream of Red Mansions
It's tough, tough, tough. Hong Lou stories have their own tag now, but completed ones are rare, and truly excellent ones are rarer still. Here's a collection of the Hong Lou stories I've read and been able to get into.

The simplest elixir of longevity
The Red Mansion is great. Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu can be combined into a pot of great medicine. The fairy grass and the sky-repairing stone are the simplest way to live forever.
I have never watched Red Mansions, but after reading the novel, I went to Station B specifically to find the commentary on Red Mansions. After watching those videos, my filter on Xue Baochai was shattered. She is a complete bitch. The big-faced Baochai is also a vegetarian and a man of both genders. . . .
Is the single female protagonist in The Red Mansions okay?
The comment section is always about single female protagonists. Is The Red Mansions single female protagonist okay?
About age setting
Take the second year of Yongchang Protagonist 17, Lin Daiyu 10, Jia Baoyu 11, Xue Baochai 12, Jia Yingchun 13, Jia Tanchun 10, Jia Xichun 6, Shi Xiangyun 9.
Puyi commented on Dream of Red Mansions: The writing is too petty He is the last emperor. Jia Zhen has the highest official position in the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions. His official position is a hereditary third-grade majestic general. It is a false position, and he cannot even get close to the upper class. He is not even called in meetings.
Personal advice
I suggest that the core heroine should be Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu comes from a scholarly family, is very smart, and has political wisdom, which is enough. The so-called eccentric and jealous Lin Daiyu in Dream of Red Mansions can actually be thought of as an aristocratic lady whose parents suddenly died and her family fell into decline. She lost her parents' love and became dependent on others. She became sensitive, inferior and suspicious, and even deliberately used poisonous words to protect herself. This is not the real Lin Daiyu, nor is it the best Lin Daiyu, this is the sick and oppressed Lin Daiyu! Now that the protagonist is reborn, we should restore the best Lin Daiyu to everyone, instead of letting her engage in house fights and intrigues with a bunch of women all day long. In addition, Xue Baochai does not recommend accepting her. Regardless of her status as a businessman, the main reason is that it is difficult to coexist with Lin Daiyu. Neither of them is willing to be a lowly woman, and there will be trouble in the future. Also, Xue Pan is a time bomb and will implicate the protagonist sooner or later. Finally, there is the political stance. The Xue family are supporters of Wang Ziteng and have a hostile relationship with the protagonist. This does not mean that there should be only one female protagonist. Individual golden hairpins that everyone loves can be taken as concubines. From the original work, Lin Daiyu is not jealous of Xiren. It can be seen that Lin Daiyu has no objection to the protagonist taking concubines.
I have a question, is there a single female protagonist? The single heroine of Red Mansion is like wearing a clear but not rebellious, love brain. As long as the emotional line is in place, it is normal to have multiple female protagonists. It is mainly a matter of priority. Just don't be like a brainless stallion.
I can't figure it out. Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are obviously two people with opposite personalities. One is sincere and the other loves power. Why do almost all the protagonists of fan fiction accept them both? I personally feel that what Xue Baochai does in this book is... It's for myself and the Xue family. In fact, I don't have any feelings for the protagonist. It's my good wind that will send me to Qingyun by force. It's not an exaggeration to say that I have scheming. I really hope that Sister Lin is alone in the back house of the Li family. Xue Baochai really feels aggrieved.
I really don't like Xue Baochai
It seems that she is smart and can grasp everything, but she is so arrogant. I suggest the author give her a lot of blows. Anyone in the caravan can do it, not least her family. If you want to take her in, it will be easier to take her in when she is down.
Please write, the writing is too slow, I can't read enough. Is there anything similar to this author? Daiyu is the first heroine. She is not against the harem, but the protagonist's surname is Jia. Don't mess with the lun, and don't challenge secular ethics. It's so dirty and smelly. Several books by this author are very good. If you like this author, you just like this kind of book. Is there any similar one? Recommend it. I have ordered three books by this author, but it is more slow.
