1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards.

A Little of Everything
A personal, retrospective list. My tastes change over time. I like light novels, fan fiction, sports stories, historical fiction about contending for supremacy, multiverse stories, invincible protagonists, behind-the-scenes masterminds, family sagas, and showbiz fiction. I care a lot about writing quality and personal taste. I'm not into mindless wish-fulfillment novels. My tastes are varied, though I lean toward niche books.
Books I’ve Enjoyed Recently
Mostly books I've enjoyed recently. Every now and then, I might recommend a classic completed masterpiece. Maybe. Probably. I'm lazy, so I'll write reviews later. That's all. (I might not forget.) I just fixed this up, so don't gossip about me behind my back.

Sunny and Rainy Book List
Um, I guess I'm a longtime reader by now. Here's a list of some books I've read that I thought were pretty good, along with a few I'd warn people away from. Some books have great stats, but didn't suit my taste. I also have a few I'd like to call out for not living up to their reputations, so I'll give them their own section here instead of saying so in the authors' comment sections. I'm not too picky about what I read. What I care about most is whether the prose flows smoothly, so there's a bit

Let's take stock of the current settings that are so contradictory that they give people a sense of fragmentation.
The first and most serious thing is the collapse of the strength setting. According to the background setting and the plot of the book, we can know the following information: The royal family suppressed the inheritance of heavenly beings for more than a hundred years, which cut off the inheritance of heavenly beings in the rivers and lakes. Once heavenly beings appeared in the rivers and lakes, they would either serve as offerings to the royal family or their sects would be wiped out by the royal family. Some of them would be fed to Emperor Jianwen and the heavenly beings who guarded Jianwen. Thirty years ago, the current emperor also began to eat heavenly beings. There were very few in the rivers and lakes, and there were about a dozen on the surface. (Relevant plots and supporting evidence: The words of the Shaolin Celestial beings; not counting the three strongest Shaolin and Wudang figures in the Ming sect, Wudang No. 2 Is seventy years old and has no idea about the Celestial beings; the words of the Yang family; relevant chapters of Emperor Jianwen and his fight against the emperor). But on the other hand, according to the plot in the book, we can also know that even in the past thirty years, at least about thirty heavenly beings of various sects have emerged in the world, and at least the beggar gang had the inheritance of heavenly beings thirty years ago (related plots and supporting evidence: when beating the emperor, the protagonist saw at least ten corpses of heavenly beings that had been eaten by the emperor in recent years, and the emperor had been eating heavenly beings for thirty years, and he was not the only one to eat them; for In Fengli, at least the leaders of the Qi family and Caobangwu became heavenly beings within thirty years, because they both mentioned that one of their grandsons is almost an adult and the other is more than ten years old; nearly fifty or more have appeared before and after the royal family; the last leader of the Beggar Clan became a heavenly being twenty-five years ago, and because his friend disappeared and realized that something was wrong, he hid with the Beggar Clan's Celestial Being inheritance, and the Beggar Clan did not have the Celestial Being inheritance after that). I don't need to elaborate on how contradictory these two plots are. It can be said that the former plot, which is almost a basic setting, has completely destroyed the strength of the entire world in front of the endless celestial beings that followed. The second is the issue of the emperor. According to a series of descriptions when the emperor appeared and the royal family's suppression of news about heavenly beings in the rivers and lakes and the speed of hunting down them, we can know that the emperor has extremely strong control over the court and the rivers and lakes (the heavenly beings who have made breakthroughs in the past thirty years are all over the world. At the same time, it is impossible for heavenly beings to go around shouting that they are going to break through before they break through. As a result, all of them were found and arrested by the court not long after the breakthrough before others knew about it. This kind of intelligence acquisition ability and control can be called abnormal), but on the other hand, the protagonist controls the emperor. What we see from the Empress is that the emperor has no suppression or control over the court and the world. The whole process relies on the protagonist to put out fires everywhere. The protagonist, who even mastered the emperor and the royal guards, was hammered by the villain in terms of intelligence. He relied entirely on Ji Tianrui's repeated jumps and his own strength to reduce the recklessness. In the past (officials dared to force the palace, dared to bring private soldiers to gather people to fight against the Jinyiwei, a Dongchang who had not officially come to power could cause trouble everywhere), I can understand the author's last resort to create difficulty for the protagonist without difficulty, but making it so rigid and fragmented really affects the reading experience. Then there is the problem of Yingzhou. According to the plot in the book, we can know clearly: 1. The number of heavenly beings in Yingzhou is extremely large, not much less than that of the royal family. At the same time, the second path of heavenly beings in Yingzhou all have dual cultivation of life and life, and there is no five decline of heavenly beings. 2. Yingzhou had been worried about the royal family for a long time and did not come to cause trouble. He came because he felt that the imperial court was weak. 3. The heavenly beings who have cultivated both life and life are the hammer to the second-level heavenly beings who have not cultivated sex skills, let alone the second-level heavenly beings who have no sex skills because the heavenly beings are five weak and cannot use their full strength for a long time. 4. An Qisheng really needs to come to the mainland to cause trouble so that he can force his teacher to show up. So the question is, what does Yingzhou care about the imperial court, as it is a threat to the imperial court in terms of both its highest combat power and its overall combat power? According to the current plot, even if there is no protagonist, even if there is no loss of the imperial enshrinement, the emperor will still be pushed down by Yingzhou. Does co-writing really mean opening new dungeons as the protagonist's strength increases?
Why does it have a Hong Kong flavor? The writing is indeed good, but it should not be the martial arts masters that my friends are familiar with. The writing is not yet mature. It should be a talented novice. You can follow it with confidence, because the newcomers have the mentality of being diligent and diligent, while the veterans are arrogant and always want to return to the throne.
There are a lot of comments that say it's poisonous, but I've been reading novels since I was in elementary school. Now that I am over thirty, I can be considered an old bookworm. I read this book in one go and read it now. I have to go to work tomorrow. Take a good look at yourself. I just want to say, author, come on💪
It's a bit of a problem for me.
The protagonist feels a little conflicted with my three views. He admires a person and directly catches his enemy without asking any questions. Although there is some foreshadowing in the front, it feels a bit awkward.
Invincible flow 4 taboos
What are you writing about? What about the invincible flow that you promised? Taboo 1: The protagonist always arrives at the last moment, just once or twice. It hurts to see this time and time again. What Invincible Flow wants is a little extra time. Taboo 2: The protagonist Shenyin goes offline, and then sees the supporting characters embracing each other. Taboo 3: Over-emphasis on supporting roles, such as this Liu Jin. Taboo 4: Mathematics is broken. We still don't understand how many heavenly beings there are in the world. To be honest, it's hard to come back to my senses after writing this.
Alas, the fighting power has expanded
Jueding is even rarer than heavenly beings. It reminds me that there are always more gold-quality characters in mobile games than purple horns. Jueding has not left the world yet, and heavenly beings are inferior to dogs. A Xiaoling Guard who has died after his father and his son has multiple heavenly beings. If his feelings rise to the point where heavenly beings only eat them Without resources and talent, fifty or sixty celestial beings can emerge in just thirty to forty years. On average, the so-called top-notch ones only appear one every few months. They can't even do it once a year. Alas, their combat power has expanded.
I thought I had found another novel that I could follow, but when I saw the girl from the Huashan sect, the sadistic bodyguard was poisoned to death 🥵, she definitely ranks among my top five poisonous points since reading novels 😐
Okay, let's just say that the semi-invincible protagonist Torii is a fun person. The result is that he likes to stand on the moral high ground. He takes on a female subordinate halfway through, and the character is set up to avenge his mother, and she has a good character. The result is a persona that is both relevant and established. You can write this plot, after all, there are many stupid things in Jianghu, but what you wrote before, the protagonist's character is not established. The woman's revenge is not paved smoothly. It is recommended that the previous plot be deleted. It's hard to see up and down.
The protagonist accepted a woman as his subordinate, and her reasons for revenge disgusted me. The protagonist also recognized her and called her a chivalrous woman, so I spent a hundred points to comment on it. To put it simply, many years ago a man tortured and killed a mother and daughter under the coercion of a highly skilled villain. The daughter who grew up came to kill the man to take revenge, but her reason was not that the man tortured and killed her mother, but that the man was neither a good person (meaning that he did not choose to commit suicide but chose to abuse the mother and daughter in the face of the evil person's coercion).
