Lighthearted Reads
I read novels to unwind, so here are a few great ones. They’re lighthearted and have good plots.
I Have a Dream of Immortality!
Who doesn't?
My Reading List
Recommending some works I like, along with a few promising new novels
A Record of the Time These Books Once Kept Me Company
Alone, sitting on an empty bed, eyes shining. A faint smile playing on my lips, oblivious to the world. Some novels keep you company through the lonely moments when you’re surrounded by crowds. After enough time has passed, you may not even remember what the book was about or what story it once told you. But you’ll remember what you were doing back then, and what was happening in your life. These are the books that kept me company and helped me pass the time.
Flowing Light Pavilion
Come have a look! I'm tossing out my book list and hoping for some follows!!!
Wonderful Rebirth
I just can't stop reading, thanks to the romantic entanglement between the male and female leads. The male lead fails his tribulation while forming his Golden Core on Earth, then arrives in what seems to be a parallel world. Familiar faces, different identities. He makes his way into the film and music industries, becomes a superstar, and gathers the power of the masses. The story is great, and the author's writing is excellent!
Finished Classics You Can't Miss
If you hate waiting for updates, come on in
Fan Fiction, System, Primordial Era, Urban Rebirth, Showbiz, Infinite Flow, Post-Apocalypse
I don't follow big-name authors; I read newcomers and new releases. Original ideas, currently popular themes, and hit books. Also, some lesser-known works with great prose and compelling stories. No formulaic stories. No baseless showing off and face-slapping. No books with anything I consider a dealbreaker.

This author's values remain as distorted as ever; he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, arrogant and overbearing once he gains power. Honestly, the novel's subject matter should theoretically be quite popular, but it's just not a hit, mainly due to the author's values.
To be honest, it's a bit too juvenile. The protagonist is a troublemaker who's always getting into fights and is good for nothing. The so-called novel is just a hodgepodge of plagiarism, and he's all talk and no action. He's the kind of guy I look down on the most. For the other author, whether it's novels or martial arts fiction, writing is only a small part of their effort. The key is to absorb knowledge from various books day after day.
The beginning was hilarious; it started as about becoming a writer, then turned into fantasy. They couldn't handle writing about the country anymore, so they just threw in all sorts of random elements—were they just feeding pigs? Author, were you bullied as a child? You're plagiarizing, yet you write about martial arts every day?
Why was Ni Liu put in the "little black room"? I'm here to ask!
This is rubbish. Why not just copy the book properly instead of spouting nonsense?
Why is the main character so arrogant? A newcomer asking for a million for just a few songs? It's a miracle anyone even bought them. Why be so demanding? Why not sell them at a lower price first? They'll be worth more once they become famous. He's just a poor kid with no connections and little fame. Will he still need that little bit of money once he's famous? Even if your songs are great, if the main character can't sing them well and doesn't sell them to others, they're worthless.
[Comment] The writing has finally gotten somewhat interesting.
Personally, I feel that this is still the Time Captain's final attempt to save his friend, just with a different approach.
The offspring of the Zhongshan wolf became arrogant and rampant after gaining power.
After reading the first few dozen chapters, the protagonist's pathetic state is enough to deter readers. A son who can act like a subservient grandson when his parents are being humiliated has lost all sense of basic human decency; what future can he possibly have?
I watched this many years ago, and I'm rewatching it again.
