The Naming of the Night 夜的命名术
Amid neon lights of blue and purple, beneath a dense canopy of steel, lies the frontier of a flood of data: a world transformed by the technological revolution, and the boundary between reality and illusion.

But you have to understand, my friend: we cannot face the darkness with gentleness. We must use fi

For When You’re in a Reading Slump: Updated Whenever I Find a Gem
I favor urban, historical, slice-of-life, and fantasy novels. 👉 Classics, completed gems, and great web novels are shared in the comments. 👉 I don't update the list often.
