Unearthed Treasures from the Sea of Books: Underrated Novels, Part 1
I've been reading since 2004, and years of experience have shaped my tastes. I lean toward science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. In general, I look for books that are interesting, well-written, or just plain fun. These recommendations are for when you're out of things to read. They're enjoyable, but not flawless. Sometimes I forget to keep following a book, but you don't have to read every story to the end. Besides, even good books often go downhill at the finish. Lately, digging for

Green-Haired Rabbit
Be a laid-back reader: savor good books, quietly show my support for authors I like, and drop the ones I don't. Under the sunshine, raindrops patter, the wind howls, and snow piles up layer by layer. Leaning by the windowsill with a cup of tea, coffee, or juice, I've had the habit of reading after lunch for a long time now. I've dropped countless books, but some I've read again and again, and they taste different each time. I read quietly and tip quietly, supporting the authors I like with my ac
What My Heart Loves
First, a note: this list isn't limited to novels from the main site. It also includes female-oriented novels. I'm a woman, so please don't be surprised to see those here. These are novels I personally enjoy, with engaging plots and good writing. To me, whether they're from the main site or the female-oriented section, they're all worth reading. I especially like historical fiction, mysteries, crime investigation, historical romance, and xianxia, so most books on my list fall into those categori
Highly Recommended by a Ten-Year Veteran Reader
Some interesting books.
Bestseller Author PTSD Survivor
I sample books every day, but I don't recommend ones that are too new. I try to make sure the storytelling and writing are above average. I especially enjoy fantasy, otherworldly game settings, historical fiction, and territory-building stories. I'm fed up with the trend of building entire novels around a golden finger. Serious writers should create a world with solid foundations, then let well-rounded characters drive the story forward. Of course, most people don't have the ability or time for
My Reading List
Slowly remembering the books I finished in the past. Anything I managed to finish is a gem. I can only list 50 books, so for now, I'll put the ones I've read on my bookshelf. Still not enough room. The older books may not be as good as today's, but they're classics all the same, so I've kept them.
Great Stories I've Read Over the Years
I've been reading novels for years and have tried all kinds. Truly good books are rare, and those worth reading again and again are rarer still. I thought I'd put together some novels that left a lasting impression as a personal collection.

A Little Bit of Everything, Full of Flavor!!
Books are like food: it's all about whether you like them. There's no distinction between expensive and cheap, highbrow and lowbrow, famous authors and newcomers. I love a big mixed pot!!!
Plot-Driven (Not Dumbed Down) – ⑤ Historical
The male and female leads shouldn't be too clueless, and the characters should be smart. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the beginning, and the occasional surprise is welcome. The writing shouldn't feel like a string of exam-essay parallelisms or just be about reckless power-ups. It should have some substance. There are both old and new books. The older ones are books I've read at least twice myself. New ones are generally at least 400,000 words long. This list
After More Than Ten Years of Reading, Here Are My Recommendations for Truly Great, Overlooked Books
I've been reading for over ten years and have carefully read thousands of novels. I only recommend high-quality books that have been overlooked. I've read every book I recommend carefully and genuinely think it's good. I can't stand formulaic, amateurish writing, clumsy prose, pretentious literary styles, or stories that torture the protagonist. None of that for me. Every book on this list is a clean read that suits my taste. Hope you enjoy them~ Maybe you'll find like-minded readers too~ Haha.

Books That Once Brought Me Joy

Formulaic and brainless novels just don't cut it anymore. You have to take your time picking out the good ones. I named this list after seeing something called the Shiqu Pavilion 😳

I gave up after reading around chapter 500. The plot is extremely protracted, with house fighting accounting for 99.99% Of the time. A group of big men are scheming all day long to fight for three melons and two dates. The content of the imperial examination only accounts for about 0.01%. It is said to be a single male protagonist, but it is also like a group portrait novel. There are many people who are more capable than the male coach. He is either overwhelmed by one beauty or another. The protagonist is still a scholar after more than 500 chapters. The next 200 chapters are probably the progress bar is jumping desperately. I went to the pirated article to read the last chapter. The protagonist has become a third-rank official of the Emperor's closest ministers. Do you think this layout is reasonable? Are you distracted? Isn't this a waste of time? The second thing is the ubiquitous typos, paragraphs with missing arms and legs, and arrogant titles. Did you upload it directly after you finished writing? Never checked? I was so careless that I even wanted to recite the classic saying of Brother Qianqian. Then there is the protagonist. In a book with millions of words, the protagonist has no personality charm at all. When Brother Jue died, readers were asking why it wasn't pig's feet that died. Really hurt. My advice is don't watch it, it will make your mouth twitch. The protagonist is not outstanding in it. What is much better than him is his brother, the eldest son of a concubine, who grew up with all the stars in his eyes, is more handsome than him, inherited half of the dowry from his dead ghost mother, and won the first prize. The original father pampered his wife and killed his concubines, the original original mother and the original mother were tortured to death by a bad mother-in-law and a bad husband, the concubine and the concubine watched indifferently and fanned the flames and drank human blood. Then the pig's feet came, tolerant and magnanimous, and drank and talked with the concubine brother until the last episode. Two lives lost! He had taken possession of the original body and the original mother's wealth for two generations. Until he rose to prominence, he never considered revenge. Others praised him for being "tolerant and generous". In normal novels, isn't it the right thing to take possession of someone else's body and avenge someone else's body? Moreover, the success of pig's feet is largely due to the blessings left by the dead mother and the dead grandpa! He doesn't, the dead ghost mother's lineage is cut off, and the mother and son meet each other. He happily uses other people's shells and resources. When he needs it, it is my mother. When he doesn't, my relatives are only those from the previous life. I chased him to chapter 500 just to see him take revenge, but I ended up feeling aggrieved for chapter 500! There is another very poisonous point. The people here are all weak and sick, and a character you like will randomly die of illness. And it has no role in promoting the plot, it is just torture for the sake of torture.
The writing is top-notch, but the format is too small.
The writing style is amazing, the starting point is rare and delicate, and it is very suitable for physical books. But as a time-traveling web novel, the format is too small. Most of the content is about a family's family fight over tens of thousands of dollars in property. It's good to be delicate and detailed, but it's too bland. The biggest flaw is the time-travel background. To be honest, it doesn't feel like the protagonist has traveled to the past in modern times. The protagonist lived in vain for more than twenty years in his previous life. Is modern education such a failure? He blended in too quickly. When he passed by, he really felt like a ten-year-old child, and he didn't have the slightest sense of crisis. He lived leisurely and contentedly, following the growth path of a ten-year-old child in the Ming Dynasty step by step. As a modern soul, it is impossible not to know the outcome of the Ming Dynasty, and the outcome of the Chinese nation. Europe has already experienced a Renaissance, and Europe has begun to conquer the earth. People will always want to do something to save themselves, and it would be meaningless to live as if they were just a nobody in the Ming Dynasty. Some people say that one person can't change anything. Bah, nothing can change your passing through a ball. The reason why the book is not popular is because of this kind of thinking, indulging in house fighting and fighting for small interests. However, the writing style is really good, and it is suitable for a female channel Qing Gong Du to make a TV series. But it's really not suitable for a Ming Dynasty time travel story.
Yanjiu's book is indeed good. Let me share with you some of my feelings.
Compared with the many impetuous works produced to cater to readers on the Internet today, I would like to say that Yan Jiu's book is a rare and excellent work that can be read calmly. Let's talk about some of my feelings. 1. The huge network of character relationships in Yanjiu's book is clearly managed without any confusion. This is not something ordinary authors can do. Often, many authors either have insufficient skills and lack monotonous characters, or they create so many characters that they end up forgetting them in the end. Therefore, Yan Jiu's delicate thoughts are very rare. 2. Although the plot is a little slow, it can be seen that it revolves around a certain overall layout. The biggest shortcoming of many online writers is that they conceive in a hurry and cannot develop the plot reasonably and freely. When they can't continue writing, they start to make up the word count, resulting in an abrupt plot that cannot be justified. 3. The details of the characters are well handled. What a person of any status should say and do under any circumstances is more reasonable. The details of the plot are also handled well, and the explanations are basically given. There are very few big loopholes or obvious unreasonable places. 4. The research and description of the historical background shown in the book are quite good, and there are some unique visuals that give people a sense of historical immersion. Let me talk about the shortcomings of his article. 1. The protagonist has a monotonous personality. From "Rebirth in the Late Years of Kangxi" and a book about a young monk and eunuch to the current "Famous Families of the Ming Dynasty", the characters of the protagonists are almost the same. They are all mature, steady, reserved and restrained. They treat people and things in the same way. In the words of the author, they are extremely stable. 2. There are too many irrelevant characters, which makes the whole book seem long-winded and slow-paced. It is estimated that few readers under the age of 30 will have the patience to read it. Finally, I feel that Yan Jiu's challenge to create a style like "Dream of Red Mansions" requires sacrifice and courage, and it is easy for the film to be well-received but not well-received. No matter what, I hope Yan Jiu can stick to his own style. After all, the book should not only cater to readers, but also be loyal to the author's own inner pursuit.
After watching 50% of it, I really can't stand it anymore. It's a lot of ramblings, there are so many typos, people's names are always mixed up, and they dare to charge for this... Goodbye! If you don't like it, don't enter!
I'm really convinced, I've almost finished the book, and the male protagonist is still a scholar! The family is short-lived and there are all kinds of family fights. The female author is really dark, unpredictable and narrow-minded in her heart! Of course, it is good that the author uses detailed writing, delicate descriptions, and the twists and turns of the plot are coherent, but there are problems with the overall direction and development. If there is a problem with the strategy, no matter how good the tactics are, they will be in vain!
The author has a mental problem and has a serious tendency to abuse his master. All the good guys are dead, but the bad guys are still alive and well. . The psychological description is delicate, but it is not good if it is repeated too many times. The most annoying thing is that the title of each chapter is exactly the same. When I see a certain point, I want to go back and read the reason. It has to be read many times. It is not suitable for reading. Bad review
First, there are many typos, which affects the perception Second, there are too many disgusting plots. Shen Yu's death can be said to be ridiculous, and it is a complete plot killer. I don't see how his death can promote the plot. It is very abrupt and unreasonable. I can only say that female authors may not be suitable for male videos, so Futian is okay.
After looking at it, my only thought is to thank New China for wiping out these scumbag families. Unfortunately, they were not wiped out completely.
The writing is very good and the characters are very vivid. It's just that the plot unfolds too slowly. One chapter can be written while having a drink, and one chapter can be written while having a quarrel. It's really too ink-filled. During the Hongzhi period, Wang Yangming was able to achieve countless great things, but he always stayed in the family clan. The structure was really too small, and it was only suitable for making a TV series for women.
This book is: Good people are not rewarded, and evil people are the easiest.
