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:

1. I only include books with good writing and a compelling flow. It's an entirely subjective standard, so please don't flame me; 2. Most are books I'm currently following. I can't be bothered to organize really old ones; 3. I don't include mediocre comfort reads. If a book starts out well but turns mediocre later, I'll remove it too.

This book should be titled, "Finding Treasures for the Country with Your Own Money," based on what I've seen so far.
Isn't the male protagonist's starting point too high? He has no shortage of background, connections, and funds, and he was a successful person in his previous life, so what's the point of being reborn?
Compared to the archaeological aspects, the slice-of-life scenes are truly indescribable. Lin Siping is a complete idiot; for the sake of marriage and his beautiful wife, he can't even protect the male lead and best man, and is constantly harassed by the woman's relatives. The male lead manages to overcome all obstacles solely through his own abilities. Is this a plot twist or a slap in the face?
Here's a suggestion: don't use Mr. Ma as a comparison. His judgment isn't necessarily the best; he's just famous. He can't be considered a representative of public credibility.
Please donate more real stuff; the big shots are waiting for it to go up for auction. 🤭
Does the absence of women make it impossible to write a good novel of this genre? Not at all. Go read *Treasures of a Chaotic Era*; it doesn't have women, but it's still captivating by incorporating themes of family, country, and national sentiment. If you want to see women, why not read novels about wealthy tycoons or business stories?
The happiest moment while reading this book was when I first discovered it.
How much of the antiques donated by the protagonist ends up in the pocket of the big boss? 😁
Honestly, this book has its merits, but a few things are really annoying. 1: The descriptions are chaotic, often mixing inner monologues with spoken words. 2: The timeline is inconsistent; when describing time, it doesn't state how much time has passed initially, instead writing several paragraphs before finally telling you something like a week has passed.
Now that something's happened, looking at this is just like...🤡
