In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

Heartfelt Recommendations from a Veteran Reader
Books I think are basically good. Feel free to take a look. I especially recommend Interface Card (Ruo Shu). The style is rugged, the imagery realistic, and the writing is still quite nuanced.

Great Books Approved by a Ten-Year Veteran Reader
I tend to prefer lighter reads and don't really enjoy stories full of bitterness and angst. I've been reading for over ten years and have come across all kinds of works, so I wanted to keep a record here. As for ratings, I'll use a five-star scale. They're entirely subjective: if I'm willing to include a book here, I already think it's very good.

I've been raising it for nine years, and I don't know when it will be finished. Forget it, I'm not waiting anymore.
When I was a student, I used to read pirated books on all sorts of strange online bookstores. And I did it without a second thought. After so many years of starting and failing, and then starting over again, I've experienced a long period of hardship. But no matter what, I don't want to rely on freebies anymore.
In the summary of Chapter Seven, which is the summary after the regicide, Banana mentioned that he set three goals for himself when he first started writing the book. 1. He wanted to write about an invincible big boss, unlike the invincible martial arts of the Hidden Assassin and the Alien, he wanted to write about a protagonist with wisdom and strategy.
My first impression of this book was in 2014. My father had cancer, and my grandfather had just passed away. I spent the Lunar New Year in the hospital ward, feeling incredibly sad as a single person. I stumbled upon this book, and the title resonated with me, so I clicked to read it.
My opinion on single chapters The so-called May 31st chapter started as a half-joking thing, but I didn't expect the banana to be a promise and that I'm going to fulfill it. I didn't intend to say too much, after all, I'm just one of many readers and can't represent anyone. It's just that there are always some people who hold up various flags, which is indeed a bit... Unfathomable.
In his previous life, Ning Yi was a successful, even highly successful, middle-aged man who transmigrated into the body of a son-in-law in ancient times. As a successful person who was killed by his brother, he was indifferent, or rather, disheartened. Therefore, he preferred to be a lazy bum, living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
Horror stories! Sister Banana updates for three days in a row!
Clarification regarding a certain fabricated image and the banana.
Having read novels for so many years, I feel some authors update way too fast, sometimes even a chapter a day! Every time I read a novel, I have to keep a dictionary next to me because there are so many characters I don't recognize. I have to look up their pronunciation and meaning, and it takes me over an hour to find each character.
I'm not a fan of this book, and I haven't read it, but after thinking about it, I still came here specifically to search for it and donated 15 yuan. I'm just a working-class person with limited resources, and I feel very sorry. One reason is that I think: a person who insists on doing the right thing shouldn't be ridiculed; a person who insists on reasoning from beginning to end without resorting…
