I’m sharing some of the books I’ve read, and I’d also love to hear your recommendations so we can discuss them together! (I’ve been reading web novels for six years. I’ve seen some tropes so many times that I can barely get into certain books anymore. With some novels, the blurb tells you how it starts, and the opening chapters reveal the whole plot, so I lose interest!) Hmm, I read all kinds of things, both male- and female-oriented novels. I probably read entertainment stories, System novels, and quick transmigration stories the most! I’ll add books recommended in the comments to my list first, then read them! And thanks to all the readers who sent me flowers! I used to be the one leaving flowers on other people’s lists, so I never thought I’d receive any myself. I’m so touched! 🙏🙏🙏(｡▰‿‿▰｡)❤ I want to apologize to the readers who followed me and sent flowers before. I was busy with school and barely read anything, so I hadn’t updated the list in ages! It’s vacation now, and I spend half an hour reading every day, so I won’t be adding recommendations very often. But if I like a book suggested in the comments, I’ll add it to the list! I won’t delete any comments (because I’m lazy…)

"If I could live my life again, there would be no one else in this world." Although Lin Zhen was a Star Realm martial artist, he lived a life of frustration and resentment. From the Earth era to the great human migration out of the solar system, he never made a name for himself. He had countless grudges left unavenged and countless wishes left unfulfilled. As he lay dying, he reflected on his life's experiences, wondering how he could use his precognitive abilities to reach the pinnacle of life if he could do it all over again. With this thought in mind, he closed his eyes. Then, a black hole appeared, spacetime collapsed, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to Earth during the Great Cataclysm... P.
