× Yes, I do go to library very frequently because I am obsessed and passionate about books and I feel like library is a very quiet and complex for me to concentrate.
✓ Yes, I do go to the library very frequently because I am obsessed and passionate about books and I feel like the library is a very quiet and comfortable place for me to concentrate.
The sentence misses the definite article 'the' before 'library' which is necessary when referring to a specific place. Also, 'complex' is incorrect here; 'comfortable' fits the context better. In English, we use 'the' before singular countable nouns when the listener knows which one we mean.
× I love different types of book like novels and biography of any authors.
✓ I love different types of books like novels and biographies of various authors.
The word 'book' should be plural 'books' because 'types of' implies multiple items. Also, 'biography' should be plural 'biographies' to match 'novels' and 'authors' should be plural as well. This is a common pluralization rule in English.
× Well I usually go to library for reading different genre of books because I'm quite a good reader so I love to read different types of story books like thriller then fiction type of books.
✓ Well, I usually go to the library to read different genres of books because I'm quite a good reader, so I love to read different types of story books like thrillers and fiction.
Again, 'the' is needed before 'library'. 'Genre' should be plural 'genres' because it refers to multiple categories. 'For reading' is better expressed as 'to read' to indicate purpose. 'Thriller' should be plural 'thrillers' to match 'books'. 'Fiction type of books' is better as 'fiction' as a genre.
× These are the books that keeps me happy and sometimes I feel furious.
✓ These are the books that keep me happy and sometimes I feel furious.
The verb 'keeps' should be 'keep' to agree with the plural subject 'books'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue.
× When I was a kid, I went to library because from my very childhood I used to love books.
✓ When I was a kid, I went to the library because from my very childhood I used to love books.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' when referring to a specific place.
× I was super passionate about books and in my even in my spare time I read books that makes me feel happy.
✓ I was super passionate about books and even in my spare time I read books that make me feel happy.
The phrase 'in my even in my spare time' is awkward; 'even in my spare time' is correct. Also, 'makes' should be 'make' to agree with the plural subject 'books'.
× So whenever I was young, I used to go to library.
✓ So whenever I was young, I used to go to the library.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' when referring to a specific place.
× Well, I really don't know about this because I'm not a Chinese citizen or a Chinese person to be very honest, and my nationality is totally different, so I am not quite sure about that.
✓ Well, I really don't know about this because I'm not a Chinese citizen or a Chinese person, to be very honest, and my nationality is totally different, so I am not quite sure about that.
A comma is needed before 'to be very honest' as it is an inserted phrase. This is a minor punctuation issue related to sentence structure.
× But maybe they go to library very often.
✓ But maybe they go to the library very often.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' when referring to a specific place.
