Tongtong’s Book Nook
No genre restrictions. I've personally read all of these, and they're classics worth keeping! (I have a few requirements for books: the author should be between 30 and 50, otherwise they may lack life experience and their writing might not have much depth or substance. A book should teach you something, at least. The story should be compelling, with no major plot or logic holes. The writing should be good, not overly simplistic. Some books are so forgettable that you can't even remember the prot

Of course, there aren’t many truly bizarre picks. (There used to be quite a few books on the list! Maybe my tastes are too unusual. I ended up watching more than a dozen novels get abandoned, one after another. That was awkward!)

I didn't dare finish the first chapter! The protagonist, at seven years old, ended up scavenging for scraps near Cangzhou Railway Station with his three-year-old sister. He received his education at home until he was seven, and then spent the next three or four years studying on his own while scavenging. By the age of eleven, he had already thoroughly mastered the junior high school textbooks!
The more I look at Qin Feng, the more fake he seems. He and Meng Yao have barely spent more than 240 hours together, and yet they're supposedly in love to the death? Are you trying to morally blackmail him? There wasn't any significant physical contact, and their feelings didn't escalate much. At first, you said Qin Feng was a psychologist and knew Meng Yao's feelings for him all along.
I gave up after reading over 400 chapters. The first 100+ chapters were decent, but the quality dropped drastically after that. The protagonist's actions contradicted his own preconceived notions, that's one point. Secondly, when the protagonist grows up and meets his childhood friend, who's in the Hongmen (Triads), the friend actually asks him to spare his mortal enemy, saying he wants a fair…
Golden Eyes is the pinnacle, right? This book is garbage.
Because "Golden Eyes" elevated "Eye-Striking" to a divine status, I excitedly read this treasure book... Ugh, so many parts felt so drawn out! The second meeting with Meng Yao in the hospital room, even the simple question of how much her living expenses cost, dragged on for hundreds of words! Listening to the audiobook was incredibly frustrating. Some plot points were completely nonsensical.
This is too toxic! Later on, things like superpowered beings and immortal cultivation appeared; this author just won't change his ways.
This is the first book I ever finished reading, and probably the one that got me hooked. I read it in middle school, and now I'm a sophomore in college. I saw it again in the bookstore, so I thought I'd leave a comment.
The plot was okay at the beginning, but the dogfighting part was just ridiculous and made me cringe. They kept emphasizing being low-key and that Big Yellow was family, yet they were showing off by having Big Yellow fight with other dogs. What were they thinking? The plot was toxic; I couldn't watch it anymore.
I'm speechless at the choice of female lead! For the first few hundred chapters, it was all about preventing the protagonist from ending up with her, to the point where I started to dislike her. Then suddenly, she shields the protagonist from a bullet, and he's so moved he falls in love with her. Is this just a way to pad the word count? Terrible romance plot.
Honestly, the character development in this show is terrible. The protagonist is sometimes very clever and meticulous, and sometimes deliberately exposes flaws to trigger plot developments? Is this plot structured so rigidly? For example, in the incident where Meng Yao took the bullet, the protagonist could have used his supposedly clever but foolish brain to think things through and then…
