I Only Recommend Books I’ve Read
As the title says, I only recommend novels I've read. Some are recent reads, while others are old books I read a long time ago, perhaps years back. I thought those older books were pretty good at the time, though I might not feel the same now. Still, I hope they give you a useful reference.

Books I Love and Some Seriously Imaginative Reads!
I originally wanted to make several separate lists to recommend different books, but it turns out you can only create one list per account. So I had to change the title and description instead! This list has all the books I've loved over the years. My tastes have changed at different stages of life, and I'm sharing them with you so we can enjoy them together. Some of these books go beyond what our ordinary minds can imagine!

Watching the World with a Cool Eye
See all kinds of people and things in the world, along with all sorts of imaginative ideas. My standards for choosing novels are simple: first, the writing has to be decent; second, the story has to be good, not too far-fetched or illogical. I collect lots of spatial and rebirth stories, which are rare in print books. Some are still unread, but they’ll come in handy when I run out of things to read. I drop any book as soon as I find a trashy protagonist. People should have principles, self-respe

May the author who ordered these books without permission go bankrupt soon; how could they order all the books they've never even read? 😡
I don't remember ever reading this book. I even subscribed to the whole thing?
[Comment] This chapter ended so abruptly, either Nie Zuo is exercising in bed or he's in big trouble.
This chapter ended so abruptly, either Nie Zuo is exercising in bed or he's in big trouble. I think it's probably big trouble.
I saw on Bilibili that it's being adapted into a TV series!!! I came here specifically to leave a comment!!! I hope they can portray the character of Mai Yan well.
One of Xia's classic mind-bending works, this is a rare and unconventional business war novel, taking a unique approach by writing from the perspective of corporate espionage. The writing style is concise and light, making it impossible to put down once you get into it.
All those gunfight scenes were cut. That's insane. The films that are publicly shown have much more intense and realistic scenes. Why aren't they banned then?
Was this novel written when Xia Zong was in a relationship?
[Comment] Eve's line, "Dai Jian, you're mine," was so powerful!
Eve's line, "Dai Jian, you're mine," was so powerful! 😎😎😎😎😎😎 The words "dance partner" have been automatically hidden. 😃
The business battles involved in this novel are almost entirely a prelude to the spy thriller. The author focuses the writing and the protagonist's intelligence on the spy thriller, with the business battles merely serving as a background element.
Actually, Shrimp has unique insights into many social issues, kudos!
