〖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
Web Novels and Memories
Recommending some good novels I've read. My tastes are rather unusual, and my personal dealbreakers may be pretty specific. Things I dislike might be exactly what someone else likes.
Red Chamber Novels I’ve Enjoyed
2026.6.1 1. Most Dream of the Red Chamber fan fiction falls under alternate history, but it's fundamentally different from conventional historical fiction. The unique charm of these stories lies in the lives of the women in the garden. If a book uses the title Dream of the Red Chamber but ignores the fates of the women throughout, then the words "Red Chamber" in the title are meaningless. If it's just a historical novel wearing a Red Chamber disguise, it would be better to write straight-up hist

Fanfiction Picks: No AI, Mainly The Mysterious, The Outcast, and Dream of the Red Chamber
I looked for recent fanfiction lists and found that most were from two or three years ago. Hardly any newer books had been added, so I made this list to recommend some. My ratings are entirely subjective, based mainly on the flow of the writing and the characterization. I score certain genres, such as Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction, more strictly, so a book can be clearly better than works in other fandoms yet still receive the same rating. That's just how it goes. Think of the ratings as c
The Wave Reading List: Come Trade Waves with Me!
**If you like this list, please tap the heart. It keeps me going!! 1. The most important thing is that I can keep reading these books! The day I can’t, they come off the list! 2. Unless stated otherwise, every story has one heroine and one hero. I’ll mention it if there’s more than one. 3. I have particular standards for writing, plot, and all sorts of other things. Taken together, they should be pretty good. 4. Slow updates are fine, but I won’t add a book if the author seems likely to abandon

Very well preserved the atmosphere of the original Red Mansion
The writing is really good, the writing style has a hint of Red Mansions, the protagonist's position in the story and the changes brought about are all natural, and the words and deeds of the characters are also in line with the impression given by the original work. In particular, there are no close-ups of Suo Yin, and the protagonist does not have a lusty harem at a young age. This is a plus point for me. Overall, the book so far focuses on not destroying the atmosphere of the original work of Red Mansions, but rather highlighting the cute side of the original characters. It cleverly inoculates against their shortcomings and mistakes in advance, and changes the direction of the story by using small points to change the direction of the story. It is really a breath of fresh air among modern Red Mansions fans, cheers for the author 👍
After reading it for a long time, I feel that such a low score is not enough for a book of high quality. Maybe people are now accustomed to reading faster and more intense plots. Reading slowly like this is not in line with today's reading habits. I hope the author can continue to write.
A bit interesting
This kind of perspective should be the first to write. I read a lot of Red Mansions and most of them ignore or even belittle Baoyu. Considering the family, Baoyu is actually quite good and has no harmful intentions. Now he can be regarded as a good person, but he has not taken up the family business.
The writing is so good, the story is well told, and it has the flavor of Red Mansion. . . The fly in the ointment is Mrs. Wang's son. I always felt that being Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law would be very hard for Sister Lin, and she might even lose her life.
Come on! Finally on the shelves!
If nothing else, except for the harem, I felt that the author had a lot of ideas, and I felt that he had indeed read the original work of Red Mansion. Many of the dialogues in it were very exquisite, and it was different from ordinary fan fiction. It was a puppet show in the skin of Red Mansion. Even the persona is broken, they just call each other by name, but inside they are soulless. Currently, I am following the latest chapter. It can be seen that the author focuses more on the emotional running-in between Lin Daiyu and Jia Yan in the early and middle chapters. It goes deeper step by step. The first part is a bit rushed, but the middle part has a very comfortable rhythm; it is just covered with a thin layer of paper, just waiting to be poked through with a finger. I don't know how the plot will be arranged in this aspect. I am looking forward to it. On the other hand, this fanfic is not like most fanfics where you fall in love with someone when you meet them, and you will fall in love with them if you show them a little favor, and you will not marry them unless they are him. This is really an insult to the ladies of the Red Mansion, let alone the ancients. In modern adult society, there is no principle of saying a few nice words and giving two gifts to commit yourself to each other, right? Since people naturally have their own pursuits and things to be proud of, it is impossible for all women to be wives, and everyone is equal. Living in ancient society, it is natural to value gifts and names. Big families regard this as Gao Neng. How can it be easily dismissed with some equality? Even the children of Ximen Qing, a fun-loving wealthy businessman like Jin Ping Mei, who can't read and read, know how to have multiple wives. , So it is impossible for all ladies to be equal in terms of status. So having said that, I personally think that a harem should not appear in Dream of Red Mansions. Of course, I won't say anything if your protagonist is the emperor. After all, you are under one person. You can do whatever you want. It's just that the queen is alone and the rest are concubines. There is no essential difference between having multiple wives and concubines. After so much rambling, of course I still hope that Shan Lin Daiyu will be the one. Of course, the author has the final say in the book and plot arrangement. I just hope that I will not be coerced. I am considered coerced. I apologize in advance, but I am a little angry when I see some people in the comment area saying that if you wear a red house, you will accept women 😄
There is no harem in The Red Mansion. I wonder if the author will pounce on you from behind.
Who would write "no harem" in the introduction of Red Mansions?
After reading the introduction, I was put off. Even if you write "single heroine" it's better than "no harem". So does this book have a female protagonist, or does the male protagonist die alone?
The protagonist is a good holy father. He still protects Aunt Zhao even after she does bad things. I can't stand it anymore. If you don't deal with the insects in your house, what's the use of just reading. The heroine Lin Daiyu is so poorly portrayed, she loses her temper, cries, and has a bad temper at every turn. Come on, the protagonist is your cousin. Do you have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? How can you be jealous and act out every day? The author is Dai Yuhei, right? A trivial matter is embarrassing. The protagonist saved her father and is four or five years older than her. With her upbringing, she will definitely respect the protagonist as a father and brother. Maybe the author will not write about Lin Daiyu's attitude when meeting a gentleman, and directly apply her attitude towards Baoyu to the protagonist. A rotten batch. The only saving grace is that the relationship between Baoyu and the protagonist is well written. It is impossible for siblings of the same mother to pull each other down without competing for survival resources.
The Red Mansion is well written, but it has two flaws.
1. Did the feudal dynasty write "Eternal Heaven and Slay the Dragon" to slay the dragon? Afraid of seeking death 2. What is the protagonist's name, Jia Yan? Jia Yan? The pronunciation is the same as that of the first Ning Guogong. This is not allowed, right?
Thanks to the parrot for letting me understand Red Mansions again
The first time I read The Red Mansion was the eldest son of a concubine in The Red Mansion. It was several years ago. I always felt that subsequent books could not escape this framework, so there was no need to read them. To be honest, I have never been a big fan of Red Mansions. Whether it is novels or old and new TV series, a group of crazy men and women are making fun of each other at home, and their unworthy descendants ruin the family business. Watching the fandom is also a counterattack and cool novel. The characters are also relatively unfavorable. Jia Baoyu was cowardly and sentimental, and Lin Daiyu died in tears. , The scheming Xue Baochai... Now that I am a little older, I am very lucky to have read the book Parrot. In addition to adapting it, he tried his best to fit the original work. It gave me a new view of the characters in the original work, and I wanted to understand the original work again, why he wrote it this way, and what the original work was like. This is the first time in my life that I have watched the TV series Red Mansions. I could not watch it before. I think this is the meaning of fan fiction, so that more readers can understand the original work and understand the story from the beginning, rather than relying on the original work to gain traffic. I feel that the parrot seems to have kept the protagonist away from some plots, Qin Keqing's funeral, and now Jia Jing's funeral, which makes me curious, because these plots may be quite important, which makes me want to dig deeper. Finally, from a realistic point of view, the Jia family's defeat is certain. It is a common problem among large families. It is the same for everyone. Unless you become the emperor, your character has already been placed on it, and you can't lead your teammates. But after all, it is a fanfic. It just needs to be interesting for everyone, and there is no need to be too rigorous. Thanks to Parrot for writing my own Red Mansion, which also made me feel a different Red Mansion. I hope it will be updated every day from beginning to end. Book friend Xunmu would like to pay my respects
When writing ancient prose, you must respect ancient feudal culture. Are you feeling dizzy if you are a wealthy businessman?
A masterpiece, not yet a stud, the plot and writing are very good
Many noobs don't understand
This does not mean that the eldest maid must become your woman. The real confidant is to marry the housekeeper as the wife and continue to be your right-hand man. Otherwise, how would the family have children? 😥 On the contrary, only playthings who treat others with sex will be accepted as concubines.
Give the author some advice
In the comment section of Qidian, people are always happy to watch without saying a word, but they like to make critical remarks. Especially the Red Mansions, it will attract all kinds of gods who like to "correct" the author, euphemistically calling it "giving advice". My point of view is that the writing skills of this book are perfect, so you should first write the book carefully according to your own ideas. After all, it will be changed again and again. It will be this group of people who will "suggest" it, and it will still be this group of people who will scold you. That's it, here comes the two million words.
Grass jelly
This writing style is really like the original work, and the writing style is top-notch. Including the self-written poems and the large number of metaphors and metaphors that appear in the dialogues between the characters, there is no sense of violation and they are well integrated into the unique writing style of Red Mansions. The characterization also feels very natural, and there is no obvious OOC. One of the things that surprises me is the portrayal of Baoyu. There are many descriptions of the shortcomings of Baoyu, but it is relatively rare to portray the advantages of Baoyu well. He is not a pillar, but he has a pure heart. The character in this book can be called a round figure. In addition, the emotional line with Daiyu is also described very delicately. The only thing that made me feel a little awkward was that when Aunt Xue used Baoqin to test Jia Mu, Daiyu seemed to be overreacting. Other than that, I felt that the writing was very good, and a lot of interactive plots were used to enrich the whole process of the relationship between the two. The relationship between the protagonist and Daiyu is a bit like soul mates. Every time the protagonist speaks something, Daiyu can always empathize with her; if one party gives a hint, the other party will understand the meaning. It can really be called a tacit understanding. In terms of plot, I don't think it's very innovative at the moment, but the various little ingenious ideas based on the original work are quite interesting. For example, the famous scene "I'm here by accident" is reproduced, but the roles are reversed. Who can stand it after watching Red Mansions 🤭 In short, the writing is excellent, the characters are vivid, the emotions are delicate, the plot is not outstanding, but it is smooth, natural and rich in details. As far as the current one hundred chapters are concerned, I think it can be called fairy grass.
Look at Red Mansions fandom from a different perspective
Compared with most concubines, he naturally stood on the opposite side of Jia Mu, the wife of King Jia Baoyu, causing unrest in the Jia family. This book starts with the identity of the original legitimate son, which can be said to be unique. In this book, Mother Jia will not be angry with the protagonist all day long, which makes people wonder why she is not angry to death. Jia Zheng now has a smile on his face, instead of getting angry and beating Jia Baoyu all day long, and then repeating this operation after a period of time. Mrs. Wang has the support of her legitimate son, and there are fewer bullshit family fights. Jia Baoyu will not cause trouble at every turn, and then make everyone in the Jia family look coldly on the protagonist. Wang Xifeng will not target the protagonist, and Jia Lian only follows the protagonist's lead. He is not with Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, and Jia Rong, Jia Lian and other men show no signs of dying suddenly. There are not many words of desire in the whole article. It can be said that it is a refreshing work that brings peace to the whole family. PS: The author is familiar with the original work, but Xue Baochai's portrayal is more biased toward the central version of Red Mansions.
If we respect the original work, Daiyu is the most unsuitable heroine. The purpose of the Scarlet Pearl Immortal Grass coming to earth is to repay the favor, and the object of repayment is Baoyu, the incarnation of the waiter of Shen Ying. Therefore, the purpose of the Scarlet Pearl Immortal Grass coming to earth is very clear. Unlike other golden hairpins, she has the KPI indicator of tears. So the normal thing is for Daiyu to shed tears and repay her kindness before dying. No matter whether she and Baoyu can succeed in the end, there will be emotional entanglements. The author writes this, when Daiyu finishes her journey on earth and returns to heaven, she will see that this world has been in vain and her kindness has not been repaid, which is a waste of time. The price of repaying kindness in the mortal world is different from that in heaven. Is it possible to repay the kindness in heaven just by crying a few times? In the original work, Jiangzhu could only be transformed into shape by being watered by the nectar of the Ling River by Shenying, so the kindness was very great. From the perspective of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, I hate the protagonist to death.
Duan commented that Baochai was a merchant girl. Didn't he even read the original text of Dream of Red Mansions?
First, Xue Baochai can participate in the draft, not as a concubine, but as a princess and the princess's companion. And what are the requirements for this draft: All the daughters of famous officials are named Tatsube. Other narrations by Cao Xueqin about the Xue family in the book This is a scholarly family I really don't understand these people who talk about merchant women. The ninth son of Kangxi was also an imperial merchant, so when you call him, should you call him Jiu Ye or merchant man? What is malicious disparagement? This is called malicious disparagement. Secondly, is Huangshang rubbish? Cao Xueqin's family is Huangshang, and the daughter she married is the principal wife of the county prince. Co-author: Will the prince marry a merchant girl?
Dream of Red Mansions, as long as you like to write about gods and ghosts
BiPu Street Everyone knows that Dream of Red Mansions has a background of ghosts and ghosts. But everyone only reads Dream of Red Mansions as a daily historical text. Who wants to read your nonsense? Your writing skills are not bad, but the direction is half wrong. BiPu Street
This is the most surprising book in recent times. My only worry is that it won't be long.
How to understand if there is no harem?
Except for the maid, are all the other ladies going to be betrothed? Like the original Jia Baoyu, I hope not to get married.
Everyone says this book is good. After looking at the situation, it should be considered the best new book on Red Mansion recently.
Then I'll take a look and make a review tomorrow. I have been a fan of Red Mansions for more than 20 years. I have read many works of Red Mansions, ranging from academic books to secondary creations by fans. The Red Mansions at the starting point are not particularly eye-catching. There are many books ordered by tens of thousands. From the perspective of Red Mansions, it is not necessarily hundreds of books, but dozens of books. Let me take a look. If it is well written, I can help you promote it.
Not bad
With this writing style, the devil outside the territory is still a literature student
If I want to see the harem in Red Mansion, I can go see the cool breeze outside. The author is also good at writing, and he is the first author to start writing about Red Mansion fan fiction. The author of this book has said that he won't have a harem and yet he forced someone to write it? It's crazy. Is it important to have a harem or not? What's important is that when writing fan fiction, you have to have the accent of a garden opera, okay?
A superior work by Red Mansion fans. Compared with the character relationships created by mainstream fans in order to create conflicts, the character creation in this book is not based on indexes and conspiracy theories. It is really more in line with the original characters 🤭. In addition, I support fan fiction that does not have a harem and opens a harem when the heroine is Lin Daiyu. I always feel that the characters are OOC.
Well written, but unfortunately not my cup of tea.
This book can be said to be a true Red Mansion fanfic, with a slightly pretentious and literary flavor. If you are a fan of Red Mansions, you will find it right after reading this book. I personally think the Red Mansion without harem route is very good. A Red Mansion with a harem, is it still a Dream of Red Mansions? Just like Jia Baoyu, if he puts all the maids to sleep, shouting that everyone is my wings...(*¯ㅿ¯*;) The Dream of Red Mansions, just change its name to Jin Ping Mei Er. The writing is indeed good, and the author's writing style is also up to par. Unfortunately... I am a fun person, and I can't stand fusion fan fiction. My personal favorite is the fourth natural disaster that comes. For example, the protagonist is a literate modern person who has traveled back to ancient times for so many years and has never thought about transforming ancient society 😥 You know, the protagonist is not without motivation. The Jia family's economy has always been a difficult problem. When the Grand View Garden was built, the Jia family's finances were already running a huge deficit. The author may have deliberately avoided this point in order to maintain the flavor of the Red Mansion, as if as long as the protagonist succeeds in the imperial examination, the Jia family will not be short of money. How should I put it, it looks a little awkward. Just like seeing the protagonist clearly and not rebelling, if a cultured time traveler travels to ancient times and does not start a technological revolution, I always feel that there is something shortcomings.
Some book friends say that the author is illiterate and the characters are shallow. After all, this is the foundation of a novel. As a result, everyone wanted to see this or that, and those who didn't know thought the emperor was coming. Excuse me, everyone, what do you want to see? Wouldn't it be better to write it yourself. After eating, I started to scold the cook 눈_눈 눈_눈 눈_눈
It would be great not to have a harem
The protagonist of the Red Mansion fanfic is no different from the one who was born in heat. He is still raised by mechanization and born in the same way.
I'm so confused about the heroine. It's so enjoyable to watch. It's so flavorful. These two chapters of poetry and lyrics really show the author's ancient literary skills. I really understand the Dream of Red Mansions. I really feel like watching the interpretation of the words of Dream of Red Mansions and understanding the character and destiny of the host.
Jia YanJia Huaiyu in Jinling
I made a picture of the protagonist, which corresponds to the picture of Daiyu, and this is a couple photo
