[Man Ci Pavilion] The Spirit of Books, Words That Fill the World
I've browsed a little of all kinds of books. I like books with interesting values, original plots, and sensible characters. The way things play out should make sense. Some may not quite fit that description, but I have to read them first to know. So feel free to have a look. Wuxia, fantasy, historical fiction, xianxia, urban stories about business and politics, classical romance, game fanfiction, and more. (Sometimes I suddenly get into a certain genre for one reason or another.) (You can tell
A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

Female lead issue
I don't understand the author's purpose in writing about this girl in red. If the author wanted to advance her career, there are plenty of suitable girls in the Ministry of Railways. If she's not going to be the female lead, then reduce her screen time; she doesn't offer any assistance. Too much character development will make the ending difficult.
The more I watch, the more confused I get. How did they suddenly start helping the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai later on? They're reminding the Jia family to get their household registration sorted out, and reminding Yi Zhonghai to improve his skills—but these two families have always been at odds with the protagonist's family!
I've read many novels about courtyard houses, and although the courtyard house is just a backdrop in this one, it's still the most realistic and best-read. It depicts many of the social realities of that era. Now, thinking about those characters who immediately start arguing and being defiant after being transported to a courtyard house is quite laughable.
The second-generation employee who joined the company at the same time as the protagonist became a level nine engineer in just a few days. It's quite ironic that the protagonist, after making so many contributions, only managed to reach level nine through such hardship.
In short, yes, you can read it; I've already caught up to the latest chapter. Secondly, let's talk about the shortcomings. There's a lot of technical content, which feels a bit like filler, but it's still barely acceptable. What I find most unbearable is that every problem or difficulty that arises is something the protagonist has already solved or is about to solve, not just once, twice, or…
Could the author please write less technical popular science? Long chapters of it are not appealing to many readers. Couldn't you just gloss over it briefly?
There's always this person who thinks they can surpass the protagonist, and that person who thinks they can surpass the protagonist, even though they're all people who are far inferior to the protagonist. This kind of writing is very annoying. After achieving results, forget about the organization's reward; just consider it a contribution to the organization.
Please, please don't let this girl in red be the female lead! We wouldn't have much in common, and it would hinder her future career advancement and offer her no support at work.
I just got to chapter 150, and after reading the same template for so long, I couldn't resist searching it out. Chapter 821 is still about online dating, sending letters and calling someone "Mr."? They haven't even gotten married yet, not even in the latest chapter! I instantly lost all motivation to continue reading. What were they thinking?
Many technical articles these days are filled with long discussions of technical issues! Is it because AI can easily look up information, making it convenient to pad out the word count?
