Personal Recommendations
Here are some books I've read that left a strong impression. The genres are all over the place, but most have great plots and well-developed characters. I've tried to include no more than one book by each author.
Holding the Last Line for Male-Protagonist Stories
I come to Pineapple Bun for only one kind of story: male-protagonist novels! Male-protagonist novels! And more damn male-protagonist novels!
Finding the Great Books Pineapple Bun Used to Have
It's hard to describe the writing style of Pinecone these days, but quite a few good books have stood the test of time. Here are some I've read and want to share.
Gender-Bender, Yuri, and Solo Romance
Guaranteed by the experience of a longtime bookworm: this list will cure your reading slump.
Non-Yuri Novels
Although gender-swap stories, yuri, girls getting close, and books about a reborn villainess conquering the original protagonist's harem are popular these days, I really can't get into yuri. It's just a matter of personal taste. For other types, like pure romance and harem stories, I've found a few that are pretty good, so here they are for reference. Give them a try if you're interested.
No Dumbing Down or Putting on an Act, Just Smart, Emotionally Savvy Leads
The writing is good, the plot isn't brainless, and neither the protagonist nor the villains act stupid. I couldn't find a list like this, so I had to make one myself. Unless otherwise specified, these are (pseudo-)harem stories.
Books I've Read on Bilibili Comics Over the Years
This list is here to commemorate my years of reading on Bilibili Comics. Its sentimental value is greater than its practical value, though it can still be useful. If you're out of things to read and can't find anything good, feel free to use it for reference. At least, I think the books here are all pretty good. (I can only add 30 books, so please understand that I couldn't fit in the rest.) There are quite a lot of healing stories here (maybe that's just me). If one of these books heals you, pl
My Recommendations: High-Quality Reads
I've been reading on Baozi for a few years and consider myself a longtime reader. I'd like to recommend a few good works, in no particular order.
For My Own Use: A Few Gold Nuggets Amid the Waves
Stories I've actually finished, enjoyed, and would recommend.
Personal Reading List
Most of these are completed, and some will break your heart. This is less a list of novels than a recommendation of their authors.
Where Have All the Bright Eyes and Pearly Teeth Gone?
At least, even if everyone in the world forgets, I saw it. And I engraved it in my memory. So, even if you shout that it means nothing, at least to me, I believe it means something!
SF Light Novels
These are novels I really enjoy. The overall worldbuilding is clear, and the stories are great too.

A must-see masterpiece, highly recommended!!!
Mist Blood is definitely one of the top books I've read in SF so far! The writing is excellent, the overall quality is high, and the reading experience is superb—definitely worth reading! However, I still want to mention some complaints about the latest installment. First of all, it really shouldn't be set up so that it's a life-or-death struggle with the Mist King (or maybe I'm not paying attention; even if you fight the boss, you can escape). Writing it this way, every time I encounter a boss, I subconsciously think that the boss is about to be defeated. Anyway, in the end, no matter how powerful you make the boss, Hong Ge still wins. (So far, my favorite is Clint.) It feels like many bosses could still...
My fourth novel, "Come Back to Work Overtime, My Apostle," has been released. Please like, favorite, and vote with your monthly tickets!
I hope the author knows that there is a reader who likes his work.
Personally, I generally categorize my favorite works into three types: 1. Works where the author possesses a boundless imagination, making you feel like you're back in your childhood reading fairy tales while reading. These works are usually captivating because of their premise; they aren't particularly profound stories, but as the plot unfolds, you'll be constantly amazed by the author's novel ideas and increasingly drawn to the world they've created. For me, a standout in this category is *Head Blooming* by an author named Yueya (but due to its somewhat absurd title and its early development as a formulaic, low-budget novel, it didn't gain much popularity). 2...
Speculative ideas about Phyllis's identity
According to xk, the novel *Mist Blood* has entered its middle stage after the Royal Capital arc, and the plot is getting better and better. The scenes where the seemingly insignificant heroine, Phyllis, repeatedly misses her ultimate attack and then angrily tries to seduce Hiro, always make me smile. However, I wonder if other readers have noticed that Phyllis, as the earliest female protagonist to appear, is also the most mysterious. Is there some secret hidden behind this? Here are some of my speculations, for reference only. First, the mystery surrounding Phyllis. 1. Changing her name. Interlude 6 clearly states that Phyllis's real name is Carol Kidman (Caroa...
As long as it looks good, that's all that matters.
*This is my first time writing a book review, so the organization might be a bit unclear. Last year, I noticed *Mist Blood*. Initially, I wanted to see if this book, with its rather unusual title, could give me the feeling I was looking for. As it turned out, I hit the jackpot. After reading all the chapters at the time, I started checking the website at least five times a day just to see if *Mist Blood* had updated. Then, in my spare time, I also read *Blood Transformation and Insect Intercourse* by XK, and afterwards, I became a complete XK fan. Enough with the introduction, so let me now give my evaluation of *Mist Blood*. Simply put: the protagonist, Hong Ge, has consistently...
The writing is excellent; it's a very good novel.
Mistblood is refreshing and immersive, a feeling I also experienced with the author's previous work, Insect Intercourse. In this trend of mindless harem battles, Mistblood's realistic combat style is a niche genre, but it gave me exactly what I wanted. Is Mistblood more lighthearted than Insect Intercourse? Like its predecessor, it boasts rich character development, each with complex inner thoughts and their own side stories (I'm sure of it). Finally, Hiro is undeniably handsome!!!
The defeats and growth of an undefeated champion
I've always tended to view things from a God-like perspective, whether it's reading novels or simply my own behavior. But with this novel, I have to admit I couldn't help but project myself into the characters. It's a feeling I've had since *Insect Princess*; I saw a bit of myself in it. My self-analysis reveals a similar arrogance to Hong Ge's. I can proudly say that I haven't experienced failure yet. But there's a significant difference. I'm not a strong person. My success is simply due to a few factors: I have a good family background...
It's so beautiful!!!
As a reader of *Blood Transformation* (the author's first book), I could clearly see that XK's writing style had matured considerably (although I haven't read *Insect Princess*). Among the books I've read, I personally feel that XK is already one of the best. Regarding *Mist Blood*, I don't know about others, but I really enjoyed this book. The low-level martial arts setting made the depiction of battle scenes more possible, and XK didn't disappoint. Every battle is described in great detail and is incredibly exciting. The plot is also excellent, with a clear main storyline, and the main characters...
Since "Mushihime" is already finished, I'll just post my review here.
Firstly, regarding the book: It's fantastic, unexpectedly fantastic, explosively fantastic! Secondly, I've seen many book reviews that not only discuss the book itself but also the characters, so I'd like to say a few words about the character 'Aishia Curtis'. The reason I'm talking about this character is because I'm similar to 'Aishia Curtis' in many ways, like a shadow. Thirdly, 'Aishia Curtis', a girl who seems to have stepped out of a painting, considerate of others, but this very girl is an imposter, a doll, a fake, an artificial life, a fleeting whim...
I've almost finished reading it. How should I put it? The way Pineapple Bun writes tragedies like comedies is probably due to his talent for writing them.
