Peak Player 巅峰玩家
A proper novel about playing an online game, with almost no real-world content. There are no hidden classes exclusive to the protagonist and no one-of-a-kind skills. The game is set in 2040. Players start with virtual-reality helmets, keyboards, and mice, then switch to game pods. The pods do not appear until after chapter 1,300. The novel leans toward realism. The game is not made to favor the protagonist, and the company is in it to make money, so it will actively intervene in the game. Howeve

A Vast Library Through the Ages: Great Reads of Every Kind, Plus Self-Recommendations and Promising Newcomers
Some books are wonderfully written but hardly known, buried in the endless sea of novels. It's a real shame. This list is dedicated to finding excellent stories across all kinds of genres. I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves. Once the list is full, I'll remove books previously added from reader comments and make room for new self-recommendations. Us
Quality Reads of Every Kind, Old and New!
I’ve been reading for twenty years, and after so many books, very few have stayed with me. This list collects distinctive, representative works from different genres, along with promising new books. I don’t have time to write detailed reviews, but I’ll add them gradually. I only include ongoing serials and new releases, not completed works. These are purely my personal opinions. I hope they’re useful, and thanks for reading.
Historical Fiction
I'm a hardcore shut-in from the Paradox community, especially fond of CK2 and EU4. I lack the skill to write myself, so I can only search for the good works by those talented authors.
