Premium Picks: No Mediocre Reads
A stubborn stone may nod, but it will never be fine jade; a withered tree may bloom again, but it will never become a pillar. To speak of ice to summer insects is to waste your breath; to play a lute to a cow is to waste your effort.
No Female Lead, No Romance, and a Sound Worldview
I've collected some novels with no romance. Of course, I haven't read every book on the list, or necessarily finished them all. Some stop working for me as I go along. But I guarantee there won't be any romance, a heroine, or a hero. If a romance plot shows up later in a book I dropped before getting that far, please let me know so I can remove it. I won't include books tagged "no female lead" or especially famous titles, since everyone can find those easily. The list is full, so to make room fo

★ Active Circuit Examples
Reaching the goal should take multiple steps, and the protagonist should actively do something at each step (remember, actually do something, not like Water Monkey 1483, which had a whole chapter of thoughts), while remaining cool and composed, with a strong sense of control and confidence that everything is going according to plan.

Is it really possible for someone's brain to become "starved" if they don't study? I know there are geniuses, but this is an exaggeration, isn't it?
🙄As the title suggests, I've heard that a top student from Tsinghua University won an e-sports championship while simultaneously preparing for graduate and doctoral entrance exams, eventually becoming a science professor at a prestigious American university. I think it's more common for geniuses to enjoy themselves without neglecting their studies.
It's not really an ensemble piece, and the male lead is ridiculous—he doesn't need glasses but wears them anyway, constantly adjusting them, purely to pad the word count. Elementary school level writing, lots of meaningless descriptions, like: Getting on the bus, the vehicle starting, the door opening, so-and-so walks in, looks up, adjusts their glasses, what they're wearing, their hair… Just write like that, keep it up, great, I love reading it.
This book is very well-written and enjoyable. However, please don't introduce any other geniuses of the same age besides the protagonist. I don't want to see any peers with geniuses walking alongside the protagonist; in the future, the only people the protagonist will have academic exchanges with will be older professors.
I'll just post this, I won't say anything else.
AI King
I feel like Lin Yi could be the protagonist. She has her own personal style; there are too many novels featuring male academic geniuses, a female academic genius would be refreshing.
The male lead's personality is too boring. It's not that it's bad, but male leads in novels should have a unique personality and style to keep readers interested in learning more. The male lead is reborn, but he's already a teenager, and it feels like there's no difference between him and when he wasn't reborn. He just got a cheat code that made his brain evolve.
It's amazing, but there are a few minor issues.
This is the best book I've read in the past three to six months. However, there are some minor issues. The plot after chapter 19 is clichéd and filler, and the characters of Lao Zhou and No. 1 Middle School are too unrealistic. In reality, such educational resources are generally available only to key high schools in provincial capitals, not to junior high schools in non-prefecture-level cities.
What kind of incredible plot twist is the one about going to Iraq for aid in the recent chapters?
Many people in the comments section are talking about character development. I can only say they lack logic, yet they're still arguing about character development? Iraq was under sanctions until May 2003. What right did foreign citizens have to legally enter? Furthermore, the war was ongoing at the time; Iraq went to war in March 2003. The timing doesn't match up at all.
I was reading it perfectly fine until the paid chapters, and then it dawned on me that this was just plain annoying. Before, it was written from the protagonist's first-person perspective, but suddenly it switched to a third-person perspective, showing the protagonist from the perspective of those around him (the protagonist only appears once per chapter). What's going on?
The beginning was quite impressive, but it became rather bland after the gifted youth program started. The story just dried up, feeling like a jumble of data. I suggest avoiding excessive elaboration on the NPCs. The essence of a "genius" story lies in subtle self-aggrandizement; a purely first-person narrative would have been better.
A story about academic geniuses featuring an ensemble cast? It's a guaranteed failure! The appeal of stories about academic geniuses is just the protagonist showing off. Who would read the rest of the trash?
