Looking for Realistic Folk Supernatural Stories
It’s less a novel than an autobiography.
Feng Shui and Physiognomy with Theoretical Foundations, No Womanizing, and Supernatural Elements
Please recommend stories about feng shui, face reading, the supernatural, and ghost hunting, with a solid theoretical basis and no messy romances. I want a protagonist who can show off, paranormal mysteries, a fixed team, an overarching plot, and standalone cases. Add some humor, too, and touching cases that’ll make you laugh and cry. Something like "Chief Medical Officer".
Any Decent Folk Horror Stories?
Ghost stories used to be genuinely terrifying. You wouldn't dare go out at night. These days, horror novels are so lame I can't stand listening to them. They aren't even as scary as the ghost stories I rented from the bookstore for 30 cents a day as a kid.
Supernatural Horror Novels That Are So Spooky You Can Feel It Yourself
Looking for Adventure Mysteries Featuring Famous Destinations Around the World, Like the Bermuda Triangle
Novels adapted from real locations like Lop Nur, Zhangjiajie, and the Bermuda Triangle, where mysterious events keep happening.
Any Supernatural Incident Novels? The Kind with Fox Immortals, Snake Immortals, Underworld Kings, and So On
Republican-Era Stories Involving the Mystical Arts
Something like "Twelve Ponds" or "Rattan".
Urban Stories About Jiangshi, Maoshan Taoism, and the Like
I remember reading a novel called The Strongest Zombie King of Mount Mao. It was pretty good, but I cannot find it anymore.
Looking for Supernatural Stories About Exorcising Demons, with an Overpowered Protagonist and No Female Lead
The protagonist shouldn't be a sanctimonious doormat or a dithering pushover.
Any Great Books Like Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, Descendants of Maoshan, or Miaojiang Gu Affairs?
I'm looking for books similar to The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends. Please recommend books as good as The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, Descendants of Maoshan, The Ninth Special Zone, and The Yellow Springs General Store.
If You’re in a Reading Slump, Check Out These Top-Rated Tomato Novels. You’re Welcome
Looking for books like "The Gods' Foolish Game".
In a Reading Slump, Looking for Recommendations
Looking for books similar to "Oops! The Little Zombie Accidentally Became a Big Shot". Any stories like this one, with a spatial dimension and a really powerful protagonist?

People from Tianjin write about things in Tianjin; money isn't an issue, it's just for fun.
It has the feel of an old story, and the writing is excellent; it's much better than those run-of-the-mill tomb raiding novels.
We have two requests for the author. First, while the story of Master Ma and his disciples is a side plot, Master Ma, a hero throughout his life, deserves a chapter where he can enjoy his later years peacefully and his disciples truly achieve success. Second, the ending of the previous book was less than satisfactory, but this book will definitely continue steadily and slowly.
This is really well-written, a hundred times better than those current "Yan" or "Zhan Shen" books! I've already read over 500 chapters and am almost done, but I'm a little reluctant to finish it. I thought Master Ma Jiu's demon-catching skills were already amazing, but this book is even more impressive.
I can't get enough! It's so amazing, I always want to wait for it to grow to the next episode but I can't resist. Da Shi's writing is always so good, I never get tired of it 💕
The best novel, bar none. If you had explained everything clearly in the ending, filling in all the plot holes, it would have been comparable to *Ghost Blows Out the Light*. So many characters were left unresolved. For example, how did Yuan San become so wealthy and powerful, and how did he meet such a tragic end? Gui Gui Zi was still possessed by a ghost in the end—such great gimmicks!
The writing flows freely, the conception is ingenious, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it truly captivating. What's most remarkable is that this epic work is set against the backdrop of a real and unique era, region, and numerous characters. I am truly fortunate to have read it!
This is a wonderful read. The writing is solid and insightful, with a humorous and witty style reminiscent of 1990s novels. The author must be a native of Tianjin, possessing a deep understanding of local culture and customs to create such a masterpiece.
It's great! 👍 It shares the same style as other novels by Tianxia Bachang. The plot is full of twists and turns, leaving the reader with much to ponder; all the events are interconnected, making it quite interesting.
The book is great, why is the rating a bit low? This rating is unfair. Is the title blocking out a lot of newbies?
