My Niche Reading List
History, wuxia, sci-fi, entertainment, reborn stories... A few books I like, though some may be a bit niche. As for reborn business novels, I'm a numbers person, so I mainly recommend books that I feel have few major flaws, detailed data, brisk pacing, a clear central plot and solid logic, without being melodramatic. They should also feel realistic and immersive.

Recommendations from a 20-Year Veteran Bookworm: Unique and Toxin-Free
Mainly historical, urban, xianxia, and sports fiction. Sensible plots, excellent writing, no characters losing their wits, and no pretentious literary posturing.

I'm having a reading slump, and this book isn't good. The root cause is that it deviates from the essence of Chinese entertainment fiction.
All Chinese entertainment novels share a common essence: the reader's memories of their younger self—a young, hopeful, and somewhat naive individual. The entertainment system is rotten, but attacking this rotten storyline cannot be done in a long or extensive way. Because, in reality, not that many people are interested in this kind of thing.
Humans are indeed creatures easily influenced by their environment. Before Lao A's story went viral, his words had already been recorded and circulated. However, most people did not believe that the so-called West was like that. Lao A's story was not widely circulated when the author wrote it, and at that time we thought the author's writing was too extreme.
I've noticed that many Chinese entertainment novels like to portray Chinese films as having high overseas box office returns, which is just too unrealistic. As of June 2026, there are only 5 films worldwide, excluding Hollywood films, that have grossed over $200 million overseas. The Intouchables (Box office outside France): $260 million Your Name (box office outside Japan): $240 million
It's utterly awful. The fact that a movie like "Mother in Prison" could be released is unheard of in both the East and the West. Now I know why dark, inquisitive novels are so popular.
The author got carried away.
The author has become arrogant and has learned to wallow in self-pity. The author was quite pleased with himself for setting the background of the drastically modified "Crazy Stone" in Northeast China. Don't you need to consider the on-screen personas of actors from Northeast China? Adding Northeast elements to this kind of dark comedy instantly pulls the audience out of the story.
Too impatient
This is not as good as the author's first two books. It's all output, no plot... There was no daily routine, company development, or business strategy described in detail; the whole process was rushed. The recent chapters give the impression that the author is rushing to finish the story, or that it's going to be abandoned altogether; it feels like the author is just looking at an outline. 🤔🤔🤔
The author's book is very clear in its analysis of the power struggles within the entertainment industry, and the portrayal of the characters is insightful. Add to that a flamboyant personality and occasional commentary on the industry's unhealthy practices, and wow, this is top-tier among Chinese entertainment novels! 👍
The strength of a country's film industry is related to its aircraft carriers and national power.
As an author myself, I never imagined that a Chinese entertainment novel could be written like this. Perhaps it's because Hong Kong entertainment has influenced me too deeply. Even though I've glossed over the Xiaobailong incident countless times, I've never spoken out for Xiaobailong.
This is not good; it's even a sign of blind faith. None of the Chinese entertainment novels I've written on other accounts have spoken out for Xiaobailong. I wish the author great success; we shouldn't be so subservient.
How dare you write that the cheongsam is the national dress? Criticizing it is one thing, but writing it as the national dress is going too far.
