Chronicles of a World in Chaos 乱世书
Sword at my side, wine in hand, I roam the rivers and lakes; her slender waist, so light in my grasp. A young man strides forward, a long saber over his shoulder and wine at his waist, yet the rivers and lakes in his heart remain a distant blur. Turn a page in the chronicles of a troubled age, and decades pass in the night rain of the martial world. When I suddenly look back, I have already cleaved the world of men apart.

And a world on the verge of the end of an era.

"Treasure Trove Bookshop": Anime and Light Novels, No AI-Generated Stories
Mostly anime and historical fiction. I write reviews but don't give ratings. Most of these books are complete. Some explore extremely niche topics, while others are famous blockbusters. Whether it's a morning glory tucked away in a corner where nobody sees it or a rose beloved by everyone, each has its own brilliance. These books all have some degree of originality. I won't use AI to bring in older books, and I've also filtered out some ongoing works, so I rarely use AI or quote it at all. Parti
