Sci-Fi and Gaming: Smart Protagonists, No Romance or One Love Interest, A Best-of List

Books: 22
Follows: 530
Updated: 3y ago

🌸 I mainly recommend engaging reads with fresh premises, distinctive writing styles, and well-thought-out plots. No illogical double-standard stories that make no sense! 1. Most of these stories have sci-fi or game elements, but what matters more to me is the story and its originality. A wish-fulfillment story that relies on tired tropes has no soul, but sci-fi without any thrills is just a textbook. Naturally, we want both! 2. Three stars means a solid read worth recommending, though opinions may vary depending on your tastes. Four stars means a personal favorite, a true gem with both quality and a great reputation! There are new and old books, popular and obscure ones, though I have a soft spot for long, satisfying completed stories. 🌸 Feel free to discuss recommendations in the comments. When updating the list, I’ll prioritize books of the same type that get more likes. Thanks for following and saving the list!

What is Wu? Martial arts has nothing to do with chess, calligraphy and painting, it has nothing to do with treasures and secrets, and there are not so many world-leading ones. Martial arts is a technique, a technique that gives the weak an opportunity to wield a sword against the strong. What is a hero? Chivalry is not romantic, it is not traditional culture, and there is nothing gentle, courteous, and frugal about it. Chivalry is violence, a bayonet made for a tyrant by those who are forced into danger. Cao Mo allied with Ke and returned to Lu to invade the land. Zhuan Zhu advanced to Zhi, and Ding Wu usurped the throne. Brother Zhang cried in the market and reported to the owner that he had to paint the toilet. Cut off one's neck to redress grievances, act with one's sleeves. Violent Qin takes away souls, and cowards gain morale. This is a martial arts story. In the 1930s, several like-minded young people came together and worked hard to change the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a certain landfill, Xiangshan, the founder of cyber martial arts who had reopened the world and formed its own system, lost all his memory and woke up while chanting the name of his enemy. "Maybe it's because I lost back then that the world became like this..." "Then this time, I will never lose!" This is the story of one person changing the world again!
