Good books I've read
🖌️ Around 8–9 Out of 10, Interesting Reads I’ve Recently Picked Out
📚 I've reread my old favorites over and over. Lately, I've been looking for new books and have read well over a hundred. Some were pretty good, around 80 to 90 points. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to about four stars, based on the chapters I've read so far. What happens after that is up to the author. 🔥 Books I feel could stay popular for a while. Yeah, the ones with really high scores: entertaining stories that seem likely to keep going strong. There are all kinds of genres here, so I'm sharing them with everyone.

My Reading List
Books I like
The Bookish Manor
This list has room for only fifty books, so every new addition means another has to go. Abandoned or censored books get removed first. Feel free to recommend a book you think is great, though I may not add it. Most of the books here are ones I've read myself. After all, you can't speak about a book you haven't read. The overall quality is pretty good, selected with eight years of experience. Follow the list if you enjoy it.
For Seasoned Readers With Nothing to Read
I've had a lot less time to read lately, and there are fewer books worth reading. Here are the ongoing novels I still follow after the authors' daily updates, along with completed novels I could happily reread. Hope this helps if you're looking for something to read.
Yang's Tales of Revenge and Retribution
I’m obsessed with invincible protagonists and power fantasies. Qidian has become just another roadside stall.

Forage.
The writing style is skillful, the characters, both good and bad, are vividly portrayed, and the author captures the helplessness of that era. While there are some flaws in the plot, overall it's very well-written and engaging. Recommended! Keep it up! Is this an experienced author? Have you written any other novels? 🤓
Tell a joke
The leader of the Crippled Gang pointed a gun at the second-in-command of the FBI in Los Angeles, making him tremble with fear and unable to speak. He even planned to kill the FBI's top leader and replace him, to let the FBI know who was in charge here 😄. You might ask what kind of big shots the Crippled Gang is? In fact, it's just one of the major gangs in Los Angeles.
The author went too far in trying to make the protagonist feel intimidated. As a secretary to a leader, he's constantly bullied by the leader's subordinates—this never happens in any system. It's like the leader is being slapped in the face every day.
Update quickly, even the donkeys in the production team don't rest like that.
…Making money and running away is the only way to go. First, you can't escape the power struggles between the various factions' spy organizations in the Republic of China. Second, after repeated purges, spies who act as double agents never have a good ending. Whether you're clean or not, if others suspect you're not clean, it's only a matter of time. Death is certain.
The infiltration section was well-written, but the cliff was just a mess; it would have been better to only write about infiltration.
Aside from his somewhat disgusting attitude towards women, everything else was alright. The part where Aunt Kang called to order imported liquor... I didn't expect her to be with a bunch of people! Are you really going to keep playing this public bus game? Are you really that hungry? And Captain Ma's wife, you not only want to play with her, you want her to be a socialite? Have some humanity!
A gangster dared to casually pull a gun and point it at Lu Qiaoshan's head, showing no respect for Station Chief Wu and acting as if he could kill him at any moment. Is the Military Intelligence Bureau really that lacking in prestige? A lieutenant colonel and a major general station chief were killed; could the Military Intelligence Bureau really remain indifferent? Is this really reasonable? In the drama, Long Er was just a front man for Yu Zecheng. 💀
The beginning was alright, but it got a bit funny when it mentioned that the American troops stationed there could be disarmed by the Kuomintang army.
He keeps adding drama and belittling his opponent, yet he just won't die; it's a never-ending cycle.
