I Don't Want to Write Recommendations

It Feels So Good Not to Chase Updates
Every novel here is complete, so there's no need to follow an ongoing series. The only catch is that some endings feel rather rushed 😑 P.S. I really feel like my own words have come back to smack me in the face. At first, I said I’d include one completed novel per author because I like to find books by author. When I discover a book I love, I want to read everything else that author has written too. But after finishing those books, I realized one thing: authors who write one great novel often wr

Keeping Track of Books I’ve Read
I've been reading for ten years. Here are the good books that stuck with me.
Novels You Can Keep Reading
I don't stick to any particular kind of book. These are books I'm interested in and can actually keep reading. Abandoned books will be removed, leaving room for classics and promising new works. Completed books will gradually be replaced with the author's newer works. Here are a few books I read when I was just getting into web novels. They may be a little dated, but I'm grateful for the wonderful memories they gave me: The 108 Star Maidens of Mount Niang, Spear King Zhang Xiu of the North, and

Personal Favorites
I'm pretty lazy, and my taste is all over the place, but I don't think there's a single brainless book here. At least the logic generally fits the worlds the authors have built. No mind-numbing plot twists... Yeah, that's about it.
12 Years of Reading: A Tribute to Every Day and Night Spent with Books
In 2005, my first year of high school, I discovered the world of long novels. Back then I was still reading Han Han and Guo Jingming, while someone in my class bought serialized wuxia novels and tore them into individual pages to pass around the classroom. The student who bought the books was furious. If the teacher caught you reading in class and confiscated the book, you were doomed →_→ In 2006, I learned about a website called Qidian and started borrowing a classmate's electronic dictionary t

Novels That Left a Lasting Impression on Me
After eight years, I've lost track of how many web novels I've read. I've forgotten many of them, but some have stayed with me all this time. I want to record them one by one and share my reading journey with everyone. One thing I should make clear: I've carefully read every novel I recommend from beginning to end. None of them are filler.

Is this a bad ending... So I didn't win in the end?
Really bad
Zhai Xing Tian Xia seems to be okay, but when I read this terrible book, I really felt that it was not written by the same person. The biggest difference between people and tools is that they have thoughts. The protagonist does not even have his own thoughts. He is still a human being. What is the use? Is he a human? It's just a tool. Since it's a tool, why write such detailed instructions? Just give instructions for use. It's a useless tool.
Highly recommended, this book is definitely a good book that has been buried. It is much better than some of the current mythical Three Kingdoms books. I've been a bookworm for 15 years, and I've been in a severe book shortage recently, so I accidentally discovered it while looking through some old books.
After reading the author's new book, there is a character named Chen Mo. His strong yet restrained, gentle and reserved attitude reminded me of this novel. How much does the author love the character Chen Su? I don't know, but at least I like this character very much. I like his stupidity, like him being led by a woman, and like his indecisiveness. As one of the many time-travelers from the starting point, he is undoubtedly unqualified and has no high IQ to crush him. Apart from being a reckless man, I basically don't see any political literacy, and he is also trapped in love. It is simply extremely poisonous. If I had only heard about such a novel, then I would definitely stay away from it. Fortunately, when I read this book, it was I followed the update, but by the time they complained about the poisonous points in this book, it was already too late. I could no longer see those poisonous points. I was blinded by this character. I only saw him regaining himself from confusion, and I only saw him in love. A man is struggling with his own ideals. He only saw the despair of him and his men destroyed by Yuan Jun. He only saw his murmuring "not her". Even at the end, he was like an immature child, insisting on a perfect ending. People who do not love the country but love the beauty are indeed not suitable for this kind of Three Kingdoms novel, but this novel is still worth remembering. When I was reading, I was thinking about what if I became that kind of person, perfect in every aspect, but now it is no longer the case. Chen Ran's imperfections and even flaws attract me more than any flawless person.
Favorite Three Kingdoms
This is my favorite Three Kingdoms. It feels very real. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly in the world, and there is no invincible world. If you know the history, you can do whatever you want, and you will be unfavorable. It is just a life of a little person looking for the meaning of life in a strange world.
This novel was trolled as a dog at the time. The book is a good book but was defeated by the trolls.
Left behind
After so many years, I thought about this book again. When I first read this book, I had a strong sense of resonance. Probably because the protagonist's personality is exactly the same as mine. It's not cowardice, but the confusion of walking alone. Longing for possessions, but not knowing what they want, habitual self-doubt and self-denial. I want to move forward, but I can't find the way. In the end, I can only go around in circles, falling into a quagmire of negativity and unable to extricate myself. But it is this kind of person who, once he finds his own meaning, finds that path. Then you will go on unswervingly, no matter right or wrong. Just because of the word "meaning" is enough! In this book, I saw the Langjian and the God of Death. It combines a variety of elements. Compared to farming, fighting, and scheming, I prefer this kind of personal heroic fighting. It is straightforward and unabashed. The brilliant sparks generated by the collision of different wills can make people's blood boil. This is probably the heroic dream that every man has in his heart? To be honest, this novel is more like a martial arts novel than an alternate history...
The whole book of life soul beasts and abilities
I was sorting it out while reading it during the second brush. I wonder what other ancient beasts and life soul abilities there are
This book is really the biggest regret. The author wanted to stick to his own path, but also wanted to accommodate the readers. In the end, he wrote a nondescript book. It's a pity. If it goes well, the achievements of this book should not be lower than Shensan III. In fact, many things in Shensan III can also be seen in this book (I have no intention of belittling Shensan III).
Chen Su turned out to be Chen Dao. This is something I didn't expect.
