Through Wind and Rain, I Walk

Looking for Great Novels Similar to Misty Rain Tower

Something fun and cheeky.

Couldn't Get Into Dali, and Zhan Shen Was Too Short. What Else Is Worth Reading?

No System, No Saintly Protagonist, No Female Lead, No Dumbed-Down Characters, No Filler

Looking for books similar to Evil and Menacing. For readers who've exhausted the usual recommendations. Something like The Seeker of the Dao, Immortal Edict, Vermilion Blood, or A Certain Daoist. No smooth-sailing plots or wish-fulfillment stories, please. The author needs to have some real skill. No elementary-school essays with no outline.
