I know your trash English teacher gave you a bunch of boring books as a kid and made you hate reading

and listen I won't even argue that books are more interesting than television or other forms of entertainment

A picture or video will always win over words on a page

However there is one area that novels clearly beat every other form of entertainment

there's nothing else like going on a 1500+ chapter adventure that puts one piece to shame

The immersion becomes so deep after a while

Most stories you see will only have 1-3 major events but novels can easily have 10-20

Its a journey and it's definitely not one that everyone can walk

But if you can then there's nothing else like it

Recommendations


*Disclaimer*

All of the recommendations I will give is stuff I have personally read before
(Also I'm biased so none of these will have even an ounce of romance)
there is also no rape so don't worry



Lets start with something short

(https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning)

This is about a character named Zorian who is stuck in a time loop. At the end of every month time resets. But this time loops wasn't made for his sake and he has to dig deep to find out the orgins of it.



This one is much longer

(https://boxnovel.com/novel/lord-of-the-mysteries-boxnovel/)

This is about Klien who is transported into a steampunk world. Klien is a massive scammer so quite of bit of this novel is about him swindling people to climb up the ranks.



This one is very evil

(https://boxnovel.com/novel/reverend-insanity/)

The main character believes that everyone who isn't immortal is dogshit and he dedicates literally everything to his goal(which is immortality). Early on he even throws these 2 children into this fire pit. Anyway he used to be one of the strongest members of the demon pathway but was gang up on killed and forced to restart his life.



This one is the longest (and my particular favorite)


(https://boxnovel.com/novel/reincarnation-of-the-strongest-sword-god-boxnovel/)

It's about Shi Feng who plays this virtual reality game. He is a former captain of this guild called shadow and he dedicates everything to it for years but is eventually kicked out. For some reason he wakes up in the past when he just started playing this virtual reality game and decides to do things very differently this time around. I don't want to spoil too much but it is definitely worth a read.









If any of that sounded interesting to you I would HIGHLY suggest giving it a read.
Each one of these recommendations is a giant world on its own
(besides the first one its only a few hundred chapters)
that completely dwarfs any other series you have seen before

Sounds like somebody just discovered he can pee standing up. Of course books are about a thousand times better.

The worst thing about being over in China is I can't really get my hands on a good variety of books like I used be able to in the States. The good thing about it though is I'm now pretty well versed in all the old classics (Dickens, D.H. Lawrence, Gone With the Wind, etc), since that's about the only thing you can get over here in English. I prefer non-fiction.

First stop when I get back to the U.S. will be a book store. I like the smell/atmosphere of those places. Then I'm gonna go order about $500 worth of books on Amazon. Got about 10 years worth of catching up to do.

Actually, man, I want to go back and actually read a lot of the "boring" titles I slept through in high school.

After gaining some life experience those books take on a whole new life.

Unironically dnr
 
I read, but it's mostly informative material. Some of it's philosophical, but don't get the impression I'm some 15 year old who read 1 Nietzsche book and thinks he has the world figured out now. Most philosophy is garbage tbh

Not much into novels.... or shows... or most anime.... or movies... or- you get the picture

There's also the mindset I have, which is just finishing whatever book (or show) I start, and if it gets really long, I start losing interest, even if it's otherwise entertaining.
 
Length is a definite plus but in some ways its a negative. Just like any media, 99.9% of books are garbage, trash written for money or just because someone thought they had a great idea for a book. If I watch a movie, I can tell in the first 15 minutes whether or not it sucks and I should turn it off, but with a book that can have a reading time span of like 8 hours, its so much investment to read enough to see if it sucks or not, because even just an eigth of the book takes an hour to go through. And the availability is not so good. Practically any movie, english, chinese, german, whatever, I can get for free in HD with 3 or 4 minutes of google searching. But for any book that isnt a big classic, if it isn't at the library then you have to buy it and its unfortunately not cheap. There are lots of books I like but I think for purely entertainment purposes they are very limited

if you want to read crazy shit
read Clark Ashton Smith
lovecraft is also good
edgar allan poe aswell

Yeah why you would you read fantasy books when you could play video games ?

If you want to read, read something like Gulag Archipelago because thats something you will never get a movie or video game based off of

Also Mein Kampf ( Adolf Hitler ), or The International Jew ( Henry Ford )

Ugh. Books will always rule over moving pictures.
 
My problem with books is that my visualization is absolute 0
So even though I can read things thoroughly I just won't be able to imagine it
I know about your visualization guide btw and am trying

The Stranger by Albert Camus.

Good read for people on this forum IMO. Stoic, classic, short, anti-hero main character.
 
Reading has a proven benefit for mental capabilites. It increases verbal IQ, basically makes you a better speaker and communicator and strengthens synaptic connections in the brain.
 
Have u tried malazon book of the fallen
 
Thanks for the reminder. Reading is great, will definitely start to read some books again, this year.

I’m gonna start reading the Witcher series soon
 
reading fiction is useless unless you want to become a writer/researcher/ critic. your only entertainment should be slaying or growing your business.
