- A Cure for Reading Slumps, From a Picky Old Bookworm 口味奇叼的老书虫，拯救书荒系列 I've been reading for ten years, and I'm extremely picky. Don't bother recommending mindless wish-fulfillment where the protagonist just levels up and moves to a new map. Don't recommend books where everyone's intelligence disappears, the protagonist swears nonstop, or the protagonist fawns over a beautiful stranger after knowing her for less than three chapters. And definitely don't recommend books with writing on an elementary school level. Honestly, some books have genuinely great ideas, but 42Books2.3kFollows10moUpdated

- For Readers Out of Books to Read 书荒的进 I’ve been reading novels for over ten years, and there are fewer and fewer books that really grab me and keep me reading. Some great books are easy to find, while others get overlooked because they don’t perform well. In my spare time, I search the endless sea of stories for hidden gems. Sometimes I stumble across books so bad they’re downright painful to read, but I still enjoy the hunt. The reason is simple: as a longtime bookworm, having nothing to read in my free time is even worse than gett 58Books89.5kFollows10moUpdated
