A Cup of Tea and the Fragrance of Books 一杯清茶，几缕书香

Sitting alone in a little pavilion, watching a stick of incense burn down. My heart is as calm as the breeze over streams and mountains. A cup of clear tea, a few wisps of bookish fragrance. I sit amid a sea of books, watching flowers bloom and fade, and clouds drift by. This list focuses on in-depth reviews. I read at least thirty or forty chapters of every book I recommend, then write a new introduction based on the story and my own impressions. I'll do my best to keep the list high-quality. I've been an avid reader for ten years and have sampled just about everything, so I think I'm pretty good at spotting deal-breakers. I hope to dig up some hidden gems and help anyone suffering from a reading drought. And while I'm here, I'd be grateful if you fellow experts would follow the list. - Ratings: Poison (a mythical rating that will never appear on this list), Filler, Fine Filler, Immortal Grass Special: Seedling (too few words to tell whether it has the potential to become a classic, or if it will start strong and fizzle out) - Erm... I've been busy with exams lately and haven't had much time to write in-depth reviews, so I've been quiet for quite a while... Sorry, everyone 🙇
