#Best of the Week# Come Sit a While If You're Tired
There are always books that are hard to forget, and books that hold you back from moving forward. When you're tired, take a break with a cup of tea and a book, and lose yourself in a sea of stories.

Xianxia Diary
The world of cultivation awaits you. I first encountered novels when I was in middle school, and the first one I read was Zhu Xian. In high school, I read Piaomiao Zhi Lu and A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. That's when I fell deeply in love with novels. I've been especially interested in cultivation and immortal-hero novels ever since. Reading them lets me imagine that I'm the protagonist, adventuring in a vast world of cultivation. I'm recommending excellent cultivation novels

Another book by the monk has flopped.
I've been a long-time fan of Monk (the author) for many years. His early work, *Official Rank One*, was absolutely amazing. He stopped writing for many years, and I was greatly disappointed when he suddenly switched to writing wish-fulfillment novels. His later works have been progressively worse.
😁The main character is dead, this book is finished, the next one will return to history.
The combat power is somewhat humorous.
Every time a so-called "external alchemy-forced" character appears, it's strange. Didn't the protagonist also break through using elixirs? It's as if he's different, like he uses internal alchemy. Isn't internal alchemy what Chen Baxian did? And his cultivation level increases too quickly. He's only been in the capital for a short time and already has seven apertures.
The book is good, but it feels like a cup of coffee mixed with orange juice. Why? If you call it history, it lacks gravitas, especially the ancient characters who speak in modern terms. If you call it fantasy, it lacks the youthful, "I'll conquer all with my sword" spirit of the genre. In short, it's a bit of a hodgepodge. It might have tried to be comprehensive, but ultimately became a bland, unappealing read.
There aren't many good books on Qidian these days.
It won't be like "The Legend of Chulong," which has the skin of a fantasy novel but the bones of history.
A single township could easily require 40,000 shi of grain, amounting to over a million guan (a unit of currency). Did the author have no concept of such numbers? Even a single county couldn't produce that much.
Killing a locust and getting a copper coin? That's outrageous!
The preciousness of being born equal
It sent chills down my spine. I don't understand why there are still people who praise the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and why there are still people who are willing to be slaves to the country.
I'm having a reading slump! Anyone want to swap bookshelves?
