A Reading Diet for an Endangered Veteran Reader
My personal favorites: historical fiction, science fiction, urban rebirth, unconventional themes, and fan fiction.
A 20-Year Veteran Reader's Bookshelf: Picks as the Mood Strikes
(Ugh, the System is acting up and messing with my reviews. Just bear with me. If a review doesn't match the book, the System mixed it up with another one.) I read all kinds of books, and I've read so many that my standards keep rising. So this list won't rely only on traditional ratings. I'll take a different approach and assess each book's readability from several angles. 1. Premise: A clever, original premise can make up for plenty of flaws. You can put up with them and keep reading. 2. Logic:

Books I've read. I like the genre, but this one isn't very good.
I'm Just a Hero for Fun
I only keep track of books I’ve paid to read, enjoyed, and wanted to keep following. The scores don’t really mean anything. I just have a habit of putting a number to things. Whether a book is great or terrible, I give it a 5. Every book I share is one I once thought worth paying to read. Whether it suits your taste is up to you, not me.

Imagination limits the author
Those who write about American entertainment now are truly brave; even with your wildest imaginations, you can't match the bizarre nature of real events. Not just in the American entertainment industry, to be honest, I often find those who write about demonic cultivators in the Lighthouse to be too normal. 😎
It feels like even if the protagonist lived his whole life, he might not have played as much as this bragging old man with his powerful and outrageous father.
Can the United States really call 10 years a golden age?
Am I getting old? Or is it already 2075? Are we already nostalgic for the golden age of America after just 10 years? In my memory, America's golden age only included the westward expansion and the Cold War. After the millennium, America was on a downward spiral. The synopsis describes it as a story of scumbags.
After the Puff Daddy scandal broke, a bunch of content creators on Bilibili and Zhihu implied that Taylor Swift's support for Haha stemmed from the fact that the video had been leaked to the Trump supporters. If the main character attended more similar parties, she might even run into her.
I'm sorry, the protagonist's character in this book is making me physically uncomfortable and a bit nauseous. I'm not just using the wrong words, I genuinely have an upset stomach. I guess I'm falling behind society. I hope those readers who can adapt to this protagonist can afford to support this author.
The author not only wrote the transmigrator as a native, but he also kept getting humiliated. Is this supposed to be a satisfying read? The protagonist's cheat ability is also garbage. After being framed, the protagonist has to wait a week to retaliate, during which time he's constantly brooding. He's also angry after being tricked by a black person. There's absolutely no satisfying part.
Do you have any other recommendations in this genre? I don't want to read the Chicago one; I'm a bit prejudiced against Black people, so I can't get into it.
I know the author intended to suppress the protagonist in the Apocalypse series, but that doesn't mean he should be reduced to an idiot. He's always on the defensive, waiting for others to make the first move and suffering losses before retaliating. Why couldn't he have planned ahead when someone warned him?
About Beyoncé
To be honest, the author portrayed Beyoncé as too perfect in the novel, both in terms of character and professional ethics. However, after the Puff Daddy scandal, seeing how the author depicted Beyoncé felt really disjointed.
Why isn't it popular?
It's well-written, more insightful than *Chicago 1990*, and reveals the true face of America. Why isn't it popular? Has the golden age of entertainment-themed articles passed?
