The World I Never Forgot
I’ve been reading for nearly ten years, and I’ve finally earned the right to make my own book list. These are all books I’ve enjoyed, and I hope they’ll help anyone suffering from a reading slump. Every pick reflects my personal tastes to some extent, so it’s perfectly normal to have a different opinion. I’ll update the list regularly. How quickly depends on how fast I read and how good my memory is.

Keeping a record
Heartbreaking, Funny, or Just Lighthearted?
As long as it's fun, who cares if it's realistic? 🎃 The stories have a coherent worldview, even if it doesn't match yours. There are uplifting stories too. Whatever the tone, these are good stories that can touch your heart. (Ahem, there are lighthearted and silly ones too~) 1. I only list one book per author. If an author has a new work worth reading, I'll bump it up here (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ 2. To see some of the removed books, tap “List owner only” in the upper-right corner of the comments (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

I came from the reviews of other books and read the latest chapter in just one day. It's very good, a breath of fresh air in this genre; there aren't many books like this that are so refreshing. The bond between the male and female leads is written very naturally, and the male lead's psychological transformation is also very subtle.
It's good, worth watching (above average).
I previously posted that the author's beginning was poorly written, extremely discouraging, and a bit dry. But after I mentioned it, I reread it today and it seems to have been revised; it's much better now. The author's skill has improved, and they're willing to correct and revise, which I think is great.
A brief review
The writing is above average, but the plot is described in excessive detail. In terms of plot arrangement, the author wanted to write some subtle foreshadowing, but fearing that readers wouldn't guess it, he could only reveal the answer directly.
Not bad, not bad
What should be done with that female puppeteer? If the main character hadn't died, he would have been dead long ago.
Excellent work
However, Zhao's storyline is clearly shaped in the direction of the female lead. I can't understand why the author said she is not the female lead. Does that mean she is considered a supporting female character?
The food supplies are close to being divine but haven't arrived yet. Aside from the female lead's character, which might upset some people with PTSD, there aren't any major flaws. Personally, as long as it's reasonable, I don't find it hard to accept.
The book's quality and performance are far from commensurate.
As a bookworm for over a decade, I find this book's quality and level of writing absolutely disproportionate. Especially after reading so many novels that are initially amazing but fade into obscurity as the map and world-building unfold, this book, even at over a million words, maintains a high standard in terms of plot, pacing, and ensemble cast. The author is indeed talented; I personally believe they have the potential to be a top-tier author.

The book is great, but there are too many female characters, and very few are truly outstanding. The content gets a 9 out of 10, and the characters a 7, both quite high, but there's a sense of unevenness.
It's well written, but how long will it take for the Liang-Zhu story to end? I've read dozens of chapters already, are you going to continue?
