didn-t-read-because-reasons
March 5, 2025This is a weird situation. The author and translator bona fides are all legit, but the book's description is straight-up ChatGPT in both structure and content. It's kind of hilarious how bad and transparent it is. I can't say anything about the book itself yet (it's up for GR Giveaway and also it's FREE as a Kindle e-book at the moment) but the U.S. publisher is sus.
You should entirely discount the "Winner the 2024 International Impact Book Award". This is not a real award, but one of countless "everyone who pays wins a prize" meaningless book awards, like Reader's Favorite, Titan Literary Awards, I can't even list them all. These things all have dozens of award categories, covering every possible genre and sub-genre and sub-sub-topic, and you can pay more to be entered in more categories, hooray! I have yet to see any evidence that anyone who enters doesn't win at minimum a "honorable mention" or similar award level. This "International Impact" award, for example, has 5 categories under just "Female Empowerment" and it gives out awards EVERY MONTH. Those "prize" stickers from these things that are plastered all over many self-published books are warnings that you should stay away; they mean nothing about the book's value and to me they indicate that the author has poor judgement. For this particular book though, I'll blame this one on the publisher, who is not really a book publisher as far as I can tell.

October 1, 2025dnf. loved the descriptions, really evocative of rural China, but the story itself just didn't hold my attention --it was all over the place and hard to follow.

I am very grateful to have won this giveaway! When I read the description of this book, I knew I had to enter! I had never stumbled upon a book like this one, I was immediately intrigued to understand more. I have started the book and I recommend it to anyone into history and a good mystery. I have found that in a busy schedule, letting kindle read aloud is a great hack. You’ll be left wondering until you can read your next page otherwise!
