What Makes a Satisfying Power Fantasy? This Is It. Disagree? Come Argue!
I want to read something similar to The Rise of Tianyuan: As Long as You Live, You Have to Cause Trouble. [Fantasy, transmigrate, genius, passionate, wild imagination, decisive killing, power fantasy, alternate world] On the Tianyuan Continent, Ye Feng is a good-for-nothing. After his soul merges, he worships a sect on the two-hundred-and-seventeenth attempt, then waves his sleeve and overturns the clouds.

Books That Seem Ordinary but Turn Out to Be Masterpieces
Some books get hyped into popularity, while some masterpieces are overlooked or buried. But everyone has different tastes, shaped by age, environment, and personality. Everyone has their own personal 9.9-rated masterpiece.

↑ The title and author are recommending their own work ↑ Traditional cultivation is on the decline, while System stories with wild ideas are all the rage. I made this post specifically to ask people to recommend traditional xianxia and fantasy novels.

Looking for something similar to Heroes Contest for Supremacy in Troubled Times: Summoning Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, from the start. Historical, alternate-history, wuxia, or alternate-history wuxia. It must be a new book released in 2026. Nothing that has made the rankings, and it must be updating in real time.

Has My Fantasy Genre Really Fallen Off?
Please recommend some high-quality fantasy novels. It's been ages since I've seen a great traditional Eastern fantasy novel. Save me from having nothing to read!
With the Mask On, I’m a God. Take It Off, and I’m a Demon!
Has Traditional Fantasy Really Fallen Off? I Still Haven’t Found a Good One.
I'm tired of the new-style fantasy novels. I miss the old-fashioned, traditional kind. A golden finger is fine, but no System. Rebirth is fine, but no transmigration. Preferably no female lead or just one, and the protagonist should work hard on his own and ultimately succeed.
In a Reading Slump? Time to Bring Out the Crown Jewel on My Shelf!
A Protagonist Even More Villainous Than the Villain: Cold-Blooded, Ruthless, No Female Lead

If the brother doesn't want to update, just say so. Why bother to deal with the sister so casually? It seems that the sister is being sentimental. That's right. The brother is weak and needs more rest. The sister is urging the brother so much. It is the sister's fault. It hurts the brother's body, which also makes the sister feel distressed. Unfortunately, whether the brother is hurt or not, what does it have to do with the sister? Hurry up and add more updates, brother
It's really, really beautiful. It has the flavor of a fantasy written by a great author, but the system's sense of presence is a bit low. I don't know what the future direction of the system will be. Anyway, I hope it can be improved and updated. The plot is quite enjoyable. Come on, author.
Let me tell you, you still have problems in many aspects, such as plot, character setting, realm division, etc. First, send me your saved manuscript and let me know what Kangkang needs to change, and we can discuss it [laughing]
This book is really good to read, but the rating is a little low, maybe because of personal preference, but the quality of this book is really good. Come on, the author, ensure the quality, and type quickly, it's not enough!
There are still flaws, for example, when the Breakthrough Saint is dueling with the Two Saints, he can transform into a youthful appearance, which can reveal that he has truly healed the damaged Taoist heart, and is more imposing,,,, but has not been shown, and is a bit speechless.
Come on, come on, there are too few old men like this whose male protagonists are immortals. Most of them are young and handsome, and there are so many girls who like them. I have always wanted to see this kind of character, who is powerful but respects the years. He has become an elder. How can he be young? Of course, he can use magic to make himself younger, but he deserves five stars if he doesn't do this. There are still relatively few updates at the moment, and I don't know how it will develop in the future. In fact, I think it is a little faster, and the promotion becomes stronger. If this thing develops too fast, the pattern will often be too big later, and it is easy to be unable to hold on, but it is actually good at the moment (´-ω-`), come on!
The protagonist's strength is not improving very quickly, and he is relatively brainless, but Donglin Holy Land is really weak. I like all the little apprentices so much. There are currently three of them. Each one is different, but they are all lovable. The protagonist has a good personality, he is peaceful and gentle, and he usually spends time reading scriptures in the library.
It's so beautiful, why is it so rated?
Update soon! ! I like this book. The protagonist fits my fantasy of a master in fantasy literature, and there is no master-student relationship. Many of the Masters I have watched over the years appear to be in their twenties but have a very young mentality. Even the female disciples actually have inappropriate thoughts about the Master (I don't like it personally). Awesome, I like it so far, hope it will continue.
It can be read as a fun novel. I can't say much about the writing style, since I'm not good at writing and I'm not qualified, but some parts are quite bad, and I have to mention all the important supporting characters who are watching. I stayed up all night and read Chapter 107, which is already the ceiling of combat power in the current world (it's hard to say whether it will go to other worlds in the future). Overall, it's actually quite easy to sort out the context. Why is it said to be a refreshing novel? Because the protagonist really didn't encounter any setbacks and was quite smooth sailing. That's it for now. The rest of it hasn't been updated yet. I'll leave a review after I finish reading it.
