Just now, October 2, 2017. On the second day of the National Day holiday, I upgraded the app and found my account had been banned. I couldn't cast monthly votes or grab red envelopes anymore. Customer service said they had no backend data, but their "specialists" had decided I'd violated the rules, and they absolutely refused to lift the ban... Three months later, I got a lifetime ban from book reviews and a six-month ban from monthly votes. Big platform, big ego!! (Without the fun of joining in
Scouring the Whole World
★Antique Appraisal and Stone Gambling★ This list focuses on books about appraising antiques and gambling on jade stones. If I’ve missed any, please let me know. Stories about antique appraisal tend to feel repetitive, which can lead to reading fatigue. I’m also pretty busy, so I can only do my best to keep this list updated. Thanks for understanding. Note: Unless a book is specifically marked as short or still ongoing, all the books listed are complete and over a million words long.

My Reading List
Good reads
Still Worth Reading
The books I have read or am currently reading include xuanhuan, cultivation, transmigrate, reborn, and speculative fantasy, so the genres are quite varied. However, all the authors portray their characters fairly convincingly, including their inner thoughts, logical reasoning, and interactions with others. The prose is fluent, the plots are quite compelling, and the books are worth reading.

Books I Read Back Then and Still Sort of Remember
Books I've read and still vaguely remember. I can't say whether they're good, since it's been so many years, and some no longer hold up today. Some are complete, some were abandoned, and some have been taken down. That's about it!
Web Novels I've Read Over the Past Decade
The first novel I read was Ghost Blows Out the Light, and I fell in love with this kind of reading. In cultivation novels, the protagonist keeps fighting monsters and leveling up, taking on opponents stronger than himself. In rebirth historical novels, the protagonist uses his knowledge of the future to seize power and rule. In urban political novels, there's wish fulfillment, power plays, and one tense twist after another. I've also read erotic works like Young Woman and Bai Jie. Becoming a gre

Ambiguity can be brilliant when written well, but it's a piece of trash when written poorly. Jia Sidao was the latter. Those ambiguous passages seemed to be written just for readers with wild imaginations to fantasize about. One would appear here, another would be missing there, the whole thing was abrupt and forced.
I don't know which year it was written, but now I see it was written in 2009. It's very good. The author himself has a very high vision.
The author has only reached level 1 after writing three books. I know without even reading them that there's no need to!
I clicked in because I saw this name, but it turns out it wasn't the Jia Sidao I imagined.
I never knew which year it was written.
This is a piece of filler, rambling and incomprehensible throughout. It uses one example followed by countless others, becoming increasingly verbose and vague with each explanation. It seriously deviates from the main theme. The author probably only realized halfway through that there was too much focus on jade, so they forced an explanation, comparing jade to antiques (since the protagonist's…
It was supposed to be a life of collecting antiques, with the expectation of making money through jadeite collecting, but it turned out to be mostly gambling on stones. There was also no female lead, so it was kind of a disappointing ending.
This novel is so long-winded and rambling; I've never seen such a poorly written novel with so many words. How can this kind of novel still be scamming money on Qidian?!
Those who enjoy antiques and jade gambling should check out "The Sword Breaks and Transforms into a Butterfly"; the author's writing and plot are both excellent.
[Comment] I'd like to ask if this is about antique collecting and life.
Let me preface this by saying I'm a complete novice. Is this book about the life of an antique collector? Out of over 400 chapters, 350 are about jade. Can jade even be considered an antique? And the stone-cutting section is endlessly verbose. What could have been a few pages long is instead filled with filler, making it so I don't even understand what kind of jade it is.
