I'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry

I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.

Looking for books like Traditional Martial Arts: Slacking Off Back in the Village? I’ll Train and Become a Martial Arts Saint. I want something written by an author who’s genuinely well-read in Daoist classics and knows their stuff. Don’t recommend anything written by someone who hasn’t done their homework. The protagonist shouldn’t be too young and should be mature-minded. If they’re too young and immature, I’m not interested...
