Books I've Read: History, Nation-Building, Western Fantasy, Fourth Calamity, and More
Latest update: Too lazy to write recommendations. Leaving this here for 2025. A record of books I've read 🚩 (More for tracking than recommending) 🌀 I like infrastructure-building, business management, farming, Fourth-Dimensional Disasters, history, and behind-the-scenes stories. But I'm open to other genres when I'm out of things to read, so my tastes are pretty broad. 🌀 Reviews cover only the parts I've read and are updated as I go. The fan-value indicators generally reflect my actual reading
Great Books I've Read in the Past Two Years
There are stories set in both ancient and modern times, some about the powerful elite and others about ordinary people. Most seem to have a couple. Life is hard, so let's have something sweet, hehe.

A few thoughts on plot layout, and a lot of very subjective preferences
I think words have emotions and power. Whether the author writes seriously, whether he is emotionally invested, and whether his attitude towards writing is simply to make a living or to create out of love, all these can make readers feel sincere or not through the words he writes. Nowadays, in order to pursue the excitement, a villain is solved within two or three chapters; in order to pursue the so-called sweetness, the rivalry scenes that the male and female protagonists obviously cannot perform are forced to add scenes to create industrial saccharine. Those with enough writing power can still control it and can explain themselves so as not to make readers feel too abrupt. Those with insufficient writing power are really unsightly, and the logical loopholes and frivolity are obvious at a glance. The evaluation of an article should be based on the author's positioning of the article. The author's positioning label is "Shuangwen", so the number of villain appearances and the length of the article naturally become the readers' assessment criteria. The author positions the novel as a romantic and sweet novel, and the main assessment criteria are whether the male and female protagonists play opposite each other, and even whether the plot serves the purpose of falling in love. The author positioned it as a serious drama, and the plot and character conflicts have become the assessment criteria. What's more, romance does not mean that it only talks about "love". It is ridiculous to forcefully write romance and use a "love brain" that is independent of the main story line and separated from the character's logic. In a good article, the character given by the author is the soul and drive, the plot is the skeleton, and love is the blood. The character's personality determines the behavioral logic and emotional direction of the plot that unfolds later. The protagonist's way of dealing with things, his rivalry with supporting characters, etc. Are all important means to rationalize the plot. At the same time, the plot also provides a stage for displaying the character's personality. In addition, just like in real life, the basis for the protagonist's love should be values, experiences and emotional resonance, and it is precisely through the plot that love can feel natural, rather than good feelings arising out of thin air. I always believe that emotional drama should serve the growth of the character. Because the protagonist is not romantic in some chapters, I think the article is narrating irrelevant plots. In some chapters, the villain is not offline, so I think the protagonist is not smart and decisive in handling things. I even think it is superficial. Has the author really thought about the purpose of laying out these plots? Hydrology should refer to mechanical repetitions such as the plot not affecting the character's growth trajectory, and the character returning to the starting point after the conflict is resolved without being affected. And if the plot reflects the character's growth at this stage and provides a bridge for subsequent changes or even transformation, it is not hydrology. And it is precisely because if these effective plots are deleted that the subsequent plots and the fate of the characters will be separated from the behavioral logic. Back to Miaomiao, every plot of Miaomiao promotes the main story line - Miaomiao's growth as a cook. From the very beginning, in order to survive and pay off debts, he showed off his extraordinary cooking skills; to later, he went to Huazhou to practice his overall management ability in large-scale operations; to opening a "company" after returning to Beijing, production, operations, finance, production, etc. Were all online, and gradually evolved from a grassroots team to a regular army. There will definitely be various obstacles during this period. The layout of the plot is to show Miaomiao's ability to lead subordinates, deal with suppliers, maintain customers and other people's abilities and the further growth of the characters. I like Pu Pu's writing because it is both ideal and real. The ideal point is that the male and female protagonists are always extremely intelligent, brilliant, truly virtuous and helpful to the world, and do not use the guise of caring about the world to express the essence of personal struggle for power and profit. The real point is that the protagonist's extraordinary intelligence is not revealed verbally by various people, but through the arrangement of various plots, and is displayed in front of the readers bit by bit. It is well-founded and convincing. The second is that the supporting characters and events that appear one after another in the plot seem to be the people, things, things and dilemmas that we can encounter in real work. They always make me feel the same way. Meeting good people and good things makes me smile, and meeting bad people and bad things makes me angry and frightened. When things are resolved, I can breathe a sigh of relief. The third is that even if the protagonist is smart, there will still be various villains who will cause obstacles, and the protagonist's intelligence allows the two to predict and solve the problem in advance, which further deepens the three-dimensionality of the character and makes the character's intelligence tenable. (This is also what distinguishes it from simple cool writing). Every time I read Pu Pu's articles, I can feel the beauty and healing. It turns out that there are still many people in this world who yearn for a sunny life and strive seriously. I have been reading articles for many years, and there are not many authors I like. Every time I write an article, I like Fei Pu Pu very much. I sincerely hope that Pu Pu will be in good health, have financial freedom, be creative and creative, and keep writing.
Let me tell you my personal thoughts on reading the article, just my humble opinion.
I have been reading online articles for many years. From the reading experience, I feel that there are fewer and fewer good books in recent years. The fundamental reason is that the article routines are just the same. As a reader, it is difficult to see new ideas after reading too much. As an author, it is difficult to write new ideas when writing too much. It is also possible that the fast-paced life and the realization of traffic make it easy for people to choose shortcuts in order to obtain more profits, so there are always so-called which themes are popular and which characters are more eye-catching. Even in order to create explosive points, it is easier to complete a big plot and punish a big villain in every chapter or two or three chapters. Will the characters in this cool novel created at such a rocket-speed stand up? Are the plots logical? I think that for a good article, if the characters are to be three-dimensional and not paper figures, not only the behavior of the protagonist in the plot must conform to the character and background setting given by the author, but also the character creation created by the author for the protagonist must be confirmed through the rivalry between the supporting characters and the protagonist. At the same time, it is more convincing to prove the protagonist's ability if the supporting characters do not become the background board, rather than a certain kind of author writing a powerful and capable protagonist, but there are often no examples and only the verbal talk of various people is superficial, as if the appearance of each character has become an NPC. I think that in a good romance novel, the relationship between the male and female protagonists should gradually progress through the promotion of the plot, rather than some authors deliberately creating plots for emotional drama. Blindly pursuing emotional drama while ignoring the logical character setting of the plot will lead to unreal, greasy, and false feelings in the romance. I think that in romance novels, the plot is the skeleton, the emotional drama is the blood, the plot is used to promote the development of the character relationship, and the emotional description runs through the plot, and ultimately everything can fit the soul goal of the character. A romance novel that truly makes people smile should have emotional scenes that come naturally and naturally. It's a bit putting the cart before the horse by forcibly deleting supporting roles or adding romance without substantial plot. I have read almost all of Pu Pu's articles. I personally feel that each article is better than the previous one in terms of plot control and character setting. I think as a reader, you actually know whether the author has thought deeply, whether there is any hydrology, and whether he has put his heart into it. Of course, as an online serial, due to the nature of serialization, one chapter per day can be read in a short time. It is true that the plot may occasionally feel like it has stagnated. However, I personally feel that if there are saved articles or follow-up readings, you can actually feel that there is no water, no top-heavy, or meaningless plot.
It's so annoying to wait for updates😫
Why are all the readers hanging here? ? ? Why can't you explain something? It's more annoying to wait around without knowing anything. Why can't you come out and explain the situation! ! I've almost finished listening to the audiobook. It's been more than a month and it hasn't been updated yet. Why? Can't you explain the reason for not updating?
Readers commented that the author's writing style is like that of Wang Zengqi, and I strongly agree. There are many great writers in the literary world who want to write about food, and the real troika of food writing is none other than Tang Lusun, Liang Shiqiu and Wang Zengqi. The reason why their articles are memorable is that they do not talk about food just for the sake of food to satisfy the mentality of "chewing through the slaughterhouse", but use food as the key link to express different feelings. This is why there are many people writing about food today, but it is difficult to find anyone who can surpass them. The reason is not because the writing styles of the three are excellent, but because their experience and perception of life are limited, and it is difficult to escape the shackles of food itself. Why do you agree that the author's article has Wang Zengqi's style? If you read the articles of the three gentlemen carefully, you will find the difference. Tang's writing focused on writing about people, and writing about food often served as an introduction, and food triggered old allusions. Compared with Tang Dynasty writings, Liang's writings not only write about people, but also trigger a little thinking about food, so as to arouse the joy of discovering philosophy and the later depression. Wang's writing is different from that of Tang and Liang Dynasties. Although Mr. Wang also writes about food, he observes it more from the perspective and mentality of ordinary people. Although the article also uses food as an introduction, it often elicits nostalgia for old friends and teachers, or humanistic anecdotes from the place. What makes people feel is the tranquility and ethereal state of mind. It reflects the exploration of the beauty in ordinary life and shows the love for life. This is the same style as his novels, with a "community atmosphere" that makes people approachable. The author seems to be writing about food, but he does not have that noble and unattainable air. He seems to be writing about the form of food, but it is actually a reflection of his love for ordinary life. Isn't it the mixed flavors that readers expect to experience in ordinary life? Moreover, when reading Wang Zengqi, you will have the idea of shutting yourself in the kitchen and cooking something. When reading the author's article, do you also have the idea of having itchy hands and wanting to cook?
Abandoned the article?
If you abandon the article, go online to solve v and pay me back the money, okay?
Please update
Wuwuwuwu, when can we see the finale 😭
This book friend said it very well
There may be some book friends who feel that there are too many descriptions of food and the plot is not advanced fast enough. Today I saw this book friend's comment in this chapter and thought it was very good, so I specially cut it out for everyone to discuss. In addition, I have also screenshotted the description of the window that this book friend specifically mentioned for everyone I have always particularly liked Pu Pu's writings, because apart from the busy work and busy life, reading Pu Pu's writings is relaxing for me and a way to gain nutrients. In fact, I am reading articles by many authors, but ever since I read Pu Pu, in the past few years, Pu Pu has always been my favorite author. Because Pu Pu's words are full of power, just like the protagonists in Pu Pu's novels, whether they are male or female, that power is not superficial, but comes from the heart. It's not about how powerful and domineering it is, but about the firmness of your heart. Pupu's writing is always warm and good at describing details. Pu Pu's novels are not the kind of single progression that only describes from the perspective of the protagonist. There are often many descriptions of passers-by. This is also the case in previous articles. When describing the perspective of passers-by, some friends may feel that it is out of the main line, but in fact this is one of the joys of reading the article. Just like this food article now, some friends don't read it word by word. When they see the description of the food, they just take a quick look at it. They only pay more attention when the plot advances, so it feels like they read it very quickly and the progress is very slow. But Pupu's descriptions of delicious food and the food that diners eat are actually full of whimsical ideas. The viewers often make viewers slap their thighs and exclaim "wonderful".
