Random Recommendations 🌹 A Booklist Full of Great Reads! 🌹
In 2026, on an empty recommendation shelf, brand-new books were selected and reviewed by editors before being placed in specific spots. A few days ago, each had been nothing more than an outline of a thousand or so words. From submitting a proposal to editorial review to uploading a new book, it has now become a book with a mind of its own. For all this, we should thank the passage of time in 2026...

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty

It is said that the current comment section is really boring There used to be many Taoist friends who stayed up late talking about the Dao of Cultivation, the Dao of Cultivation, and the Covenant Alliance. The scope of discussion ranges from forms of human civilization to sci-fi settings of cultivating immortals But now in the book review area, a bunch of people who don't even know the characteristics of these three forms of civilization are discussing this book's problems. How can I put it, we old readers are really bored to death with these comments. You can't feel the excitement of the battle of wits in the chaos of the Immortal Cultivators in the Feixing Realm You can't feel the passion and helplessness of the resonance of fighting spirit on the Iron Plains You can't feel the suffering of the Blood Demon Realm to the ordinary demon people who are oppressed by the four-pillar system br>You cannot feel the people who are struggling in the feudal ignorance of the ancient holy world and even the monks who are also struggling You cannot feel the excitement of the Star Sea Starship War from the prelude to the end You cannot feel the birth of a new information civilization. The doubts and problems encountered during life You can't feel the collision of the three civilization systems You can't feel the cause, process and result of the fall of Pangu civilization Bai Xinghe, Jin Tuyi, Long Yangjun, Lu Qingchen, Bai Kaixin, Lu Zui, Zhou Hengdao... You can't feel the personal charm of these characters and you don't even know them To be honest, personally, I just think you are not qualified to talk, just like you can't calculate calculus if you can't add, subtract, multiply and divide. This is not a derogatory discrimination but a simple thought.
Some thoughts on whether you like to watch or not. I don't know who first said this. But after seeing it in countless book review sections, I feel I need to discuss it with everyone. Did you really use this sentence in the right place? This sentence frequently appears under various fault-finding posts, negative review posts, abandoned book posts, and even question posts. Most of the people who spoke considered themselves to be die-hard fans of this book. But I want to ask. Do you really think you are defending the author by saying this? I would like to share my experience. I once published a post in the book review area of a certain book. The content was that there were logical contradictions in the behavior of the characters in the author's latest chapter. Then the comment with the most likes was [wrong review, shame on me]. There were also some normal comments trying to explain to me and one that sounded irritable. "Do you write a book or does the author write a book and set it as you wish? Ridiculous." When I tried to convince him with specific words, he started to make fun of me out of context again. However, the dramatic thing is that after I posted the same post in the official book review area, I got a reply from the author - just three words, which have been corrected. (˘•ω•˘) And I can definitely say that the review section of this book is relatively civilized. At least no one was cussing. I once complained about the protagonist in a certain anti-routine system, shouting, "The life of the immortal cultivator is the life of the common people, isn't it the life of the people?" I am afraid that there is something wrong with his brain while destroying other people's sects, including disciples and servants. Then the one who was sprayed was called... Sigh. In short, regardless of deliberately looking for trouble, bullies and the like should be criticized. Some newbies feel that the books are not good to read, or they post to ask some questions, or point out some mistakes like in my case, and they will be criticized. As a result, the grumpy old friends will abandon the books. Do you really think this is for the author's benefit? Are you defending the author? Internet writers naturally want as many people to read their books as possible. To be realistic, a large number of people point to this as a business to support their families. Let's think about it in another scenario. Lao Niu opened a bookstore and started business. Someone comes in. "Hey dad, do you have any good novels?" Lao Niu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, Interstellar Skeleton Soldiers, Demon Arms Dealer, especially this book called Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation, is very interesting." Customer (flicked through it) "No, it's too cliche, the protagonist is silly, I want to see the protagonist who kills more decisively." Then before Lao Niu could speak, an old bookworm (self-proclaimed) came from the side. "If you want to buy it or not, go ahead and read your little white article. This book is not suitable for you. Go away." After driving the person away, he said to Lao Niu, "Hey boss, look, I drove away that ignorant little white guy." Hey, you still want the author to thank you. Niu Bao's milk powder money was driven away by you tonight. Even if someone wants to be kicked out, it will be the author who expresses his opinion first. "I don't want to do this person's business." That's okay. Any loss of readers is your own business, and you must bear the loss yourself. What's the point of evicting the boss first as a customer? When word gets out, it will also affect the author's reputation. At least, I have always believed that if you politely point out some of your different opinions on the book in the book review section, the result will be that [old readers] will criticize the book and it will not be much better. Because the reader of a good book is confident, he can refute the critics of the book by citing the points of the book that impressed him, instead of using bad words. Besides, even if he is a bad guest, you must go up and have a quarrel with him and make everyone unhappy? Is the reporting option for viewing? As far as I'm concerned, most of the people who complain when they come up are adolescent readers - not in terms of age, but in terms of behavior. I just couldn't stand Xiao Bai Wen anymore, and I was eager to draw a clear line with Xiao Bai Wen. I started to call myself a bookworm, but I still had Xiao Bai Wen's [killing decisively] violent spirit, acting hastily without considering the consequences. The most direct expression is to troll people. When you see someone who disagrees with your own point of view, you just troll, without considering whether to try to communicate calmly first. The above is my humble opinion. The reason why I post it here is because the book friends here are relatively sensible and positive. Maybe someone will agree with me. At least they won't criticize me before I even read it.
I finished reading the original novel yesterday, so I'll just read the extras. Thank you to Mr. Niu for writing such a novel. Maybe there are still many imperfections, but it is really interesting. Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, no matter what, 100 dimensions, live seriously and move forward. I wish Mr. Niu's new book will become popular again and he will become a god from the starting point
I was originally a prostitute for free, and I have been doing it for three years in high school. Later, Lao Niu came out and had a strong spirit. I went to college and started reading the original version. But now I saw Shusi's Gaiden, and I felt that it was so well written that I couldn't justify it without spending money, so I also read the official version of Shusi's Gaiden.
"Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation" is a milestone in the novel world. A novel can really affect you in real life. No one likes dark and moist people, and no one likes themselves to be dark and damp. Just a few years ago, there was a "handsome" and voluptuous man with long purple hair who liked to kill people for the pastime because he was too rich, too powerful, too boring to be empty, and surrounded by beautiful women. There were too many protagonists like this. A protagonist like Li Yao in "Cultivation 4" is truly out of the blue. The first volume of the novel seemed to be a scam, but when I saw that the last volume turned out to be foreshadowing that had already been there, it was reasonable. The foreshadowing was disguised as poisonous points as a satire on all previous similar novels, which was shocking. The first volume is an important foundation for the inner growth of the protagonist and a huge foreshadowing. Once you are used to brainless yy novels, you will take these foreshadowings for granted or ridicule the author. But if you think rationally, you will find the irrationality of these yyy novels and discover the foreshadowing. This is where the author is smart. After reading the last volume, I really found out that the author is awesome! Astonishing! The transition of the second volume is perfect without any breakpoints, but it seems to have begun to make a qualitative leap. It does not collapse until the ending and becomes more and more exciting. You must know that this is a novel with 3270 chapters! And each chapter is not just a few pages, but more than ten pages of real fun! After reading it, I was still not satisfied, and I was astonished. The plot to persuade people to quit in the first volume is even more slapped in the face in the last volume. Without spoiling anything, I can only tell you that the pitfalls in the first volume are the ultimate foreshadowing! This book is a super anti-routine of satirical spoof routines. It is touching and makes you cry, makes you convulse with laughter, is so deep that you can stop thinking, and is exciting and exciting. I am astounded beyond words, this book is so great! ! !
Hey, I just finished reading the second one. To be honest, if the power system wasn't so bad, I would doubt it was written by one person. Many works are very narrow about good and bad, but in the second chapter, both Mr. Yan and Mr. Xiao have broken away from simple good and bad. Even Mr. Bai, the king of star thieves, also has a good side of human nature!
The brilliance of this book is the world it constructs and the philosophical speculations within it. However, Li Yao's thoughts are the expression of the author's vision, and the villain's theory is the author's use of various humanistic, social, and philosophical ideological discussions that exist in real society. That is, the author uses one person to compete with many ideas and tries to build a self-consistent system. This leads to the feeling that the protagonist is sometimes too naive and hypocritical when debating with his opponents.
I came to review the audiobook of Himalayas after listening to it. Normally I am simply too lazy to review. But this book is so well written! Coupled with Bei Ming Audio's dubbing, the passionate plot and passionate BGM are simply amazing! !
It is an absolute masterpiece. Except for mortals, I think there is no comparable book in the field of immortality cultivation. Moreover, it would never have been written like this without the author's painstaking efforts, repeated deliberation, and being at the peak of his powers. There are many places in this book that can be said to be a brand new system, and there is a complete annotation on various aspects such as level, power, mythology, etc. What's even more amazing is that with so many words in one book, the structure is still complete, the initial foreshadowing still exists and is logical. The strength of the protagonist and the control of the top powerhouse can be said to be perfect. You must know that even a book as rigorous as a mortal will be all over the place in the later stages. The division of strength in the same realm is also very reasonable. As the protagonist of Model Li, with such an awesome giant god soldier, he can only fight 3.5 Transformation gods of similar level. If it were in other books, I estimate it would be at least 30.50. The style and writing style of this book are also amazing. It is very graphic and detailed. Whether it is the storyline, the bloody battlefield or the sensational scenes, it is all very well written. The most classic thing about this book is the characterization of the major villains. They are all flesh-and-blood, sinister and cunning, with explosive IQs, superior strength (relatively) and a strong heart. This is far unmatched by other novels. It is no exaggeration to say that you can kill 90% of the protagonists in other immortal novels by just picking up a boss in four chapters. Finally, there is Lao Mo's style, humorous and shameless, but with an absolute bottom line and his own persistence. You can choose to compromise when faced with difficulties that you cannot overcome, but when faced with principles, you can throw away everything you have worked hard on without hesitation. It's very real and very touching. If this book can continue to be written like this, the end will be the day when Lao Niu becomes a god.
When I first watched Xiu Si 7 years ago, I was absolutely amazed. It took almost two weeks to finish reading it without sleep, and I wrote half a notebook just with my thoughts on reading. At that time, the Three-Body Problem was in full swing, and this book was even evaluated as a cultivation version of The Three-Body Problem. Now I have read it over again for a week, and it is completely different. Let me briefly talk about my current feelings. Let's talk about the structure. Xiu 4 is purely a blunt upgrade to change maps and text. It does not reduce points and definitely does not add points. Let's talk about writing skills. I think the writing requirements for writing online articles only need to be fluent. Looking at it now, this book is still qualified, but it has nothing to do with excellence. Let's talk about the author's attitude. 80% Of it is just a poor word count, not to mention the issue of timing. As a writer, I can't even stand it. It's too unfair. Let's talk about creativity. In fact, most of the innovations are copied from the Three-Body Problem. First, they are not deep enough, and second, they are not transformed into their own internal strength. In the past, this book could be refreshing and even inspiring, but by today's standards, it is nothing new. This is also the fate that most old masterpieces cannot escape. Let's talk about values. When I was still studying 7 years ago, it was quite rewarding. At least it can be regarded as a bonus. Now it seems speechless and funny, like a college student criticizing a primary school student for wrong questions. It has no other effect except to improve the word count and discourage readers. I read it hard and was very disappointed. It was very suitable for young people who were ignorant 7 years ago, but it is not suitable for readers who are generally mature in thinking today. As a print media editor, now that I am in my thirties, when I read another online article, I realize that there are very few worth reading. To put it bluntly, in fact, any editor of any media can be regarded as a master in today's Internet literary world for his writing skills. The only difference is imagination and experience. This shows that the brain drain of Internet article authors is serious and there is a lack of excellent Internet articles.
