I do think it's actually quite hard to beat the Brighter lamp on all of: Lumens, $, QoL (ie: Google Home integration + temp control), Form Factor (ie: not looking ugly), CRI.
I personally noticed issues w/ CRI & Form Factor quite a lot with my previous options.

OP here. I read a lot of Wuxia novels, some of them are well translated, and I usually end up giving up on the poorly translated ones.
I tried a few models (Gemini-2.5, Gemini-3.0-pro, Claude Opus 4.5), and found that they all improved the quality quite noticeably, even without being provided the source. The trick was mostly asking them to be super conservative in the changes they made.

You might enjoy Asara's Personality Basins, it's on a similar vibe: https://near.blog/personality-basins/

One of my all-time favorite essays, pairs very well with pg's Cities And Ambition (https://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html), as I wonder about what forms of transcendence various cities encourage you to aim towards.
