Books Worth Reading 📖
Here are some novels I've been reading lately. New books especially welcome. Rating system: ★★★ (decent read, few annoying elements and plenty of satisfying moments) ★★★★ (excellent, with a better plot and writing than the previous tier) ★★★★★ (an absolute masterpiece) These are the only three ratings. Books rated lower won't stay on the list, but ratings are subjective. If someone thinks a book is bad, then that's on you.

I'm back from the other side. Feels like the whole ecosystem is about to collapse! Anyway, time to read.
For When You’re in a Reading Slump: Updated Whenever I Find a Gem
I favor urban, historical, slice-of-life, and fantasy novels. 👉 Classics, completed gems, and great web novels are shared in the comments. 👉 I don't update the list often. It can only hold 50 books from this site, so when I add new ones, completed gems may be moved to the comments. 👉 I like sharing works with sound values and solid logic. I hope someone can recommend some older books. The new releases are hard to stomach.
Niche Novels That Broke Into the Mainstream
Niche novels that are already excellent, or have the potential to be, are welcome too. Readers, feel free to recommend good books.

Now that you've started a new book, focus on writing well and avoid crossovers. Absolutely no crossovers... Your previous mercenary novel by Mountain Eagle was ruined by a crossover with Jackal, making the plot illogical. A new book should be a completely new story. No matter how much passion an author has, they shouldn't prioritize passion over success.
Regarding the supplies, firstly, according to the plot, a defense company deeply cooperating with the US Department of Defense wouldn't be subservient to ISA. Otherwise, why would they be paying so much money to the Department of Defense every year to support Dior? If you're saying it's a very serious project, forced upon you, why would a security guard be chosen?
By chapter eight, I still didn't understand the main plot. There was too much unnecessary dialogue and auxiliary sentences; there was no conflict, no real story, no main plot—it just provided some background information, leaving me completely confused.
The salary is too low. Forget America, even working on a farm in South Korea or Japan would cost over 10,000 RMB. And you're carrying a gun for just that…
Mouse, you need to calm down and focus on writing this time. Even if you take a break, at least let me know where you are and what your thoughts are. I was starting to think something had happened to you! I don't mind if your updates are slow, as long as it's not like the previous two books, I can accept it.
Why can't I find any books specifically about PMC on Qidian?
There are quite a few stories about mercenaries on Qidian, but it seems like there aren't any that actually focus on PMC (Production Management Corporation). Some authors use the PMC label to write mercenary stories, with the company bosses actually on the front lines. I have no idea what these authors are thinking.
Personally, I feel it's not as good as Shuiyi's writing.
Why is there such a big difference in monthly votes?
In modern warfare, streamers might consider using a high-level cheat code for danger perception; even Trump has it, so we can't be left behind, right?
Holy crap, this book is really good! Why isn't it on Sanjiang? These days, none of the books on Sanjiang are any good.
I watched it too early, finishing it in one go, and now I'm really itching to watch it again.
Monthly pass offered, more updates please.
