Good Taoist Novels, No Systems. I Really Can't Stand System Stories
Looking for Taoist priest novels. The important thing is that they don’t have a System. I want one without a System. Whenever I see a System novel, I feel like every kind of story becomes boring. Any experts have good supernatural novels to recommend? Remember, no System, no System.

The content is so wonderful it's beyond words, a direct five-star review. I hope the author continues to improve and the character portrayals become more in-depth. My eyes are getting tired after two hours of watching, but I can't stop. Keep going! 💪💪💪💪💪💪 The characters are vividly portrayed, with meticulous attention to detail. Not only the main characters but also the minor ones are well-written. There's no exaggeration or empty rhetoric; the plot is rich and engaging. 👍👍👍👍👍
He Guancheng is not a flawless hero in the traditional sense. When he first appears, he is just an ordinary young man in the vast sea of people, harboring dreams, naive and ignorant, yet possessing an indomitable stubbornness. This humble background brings him closer to the readers, allowing us to see the shadow of our own youthful dreams.
I'd definitely give this a five-star review, but to be honest, there are bound to be some areas where the language isn't quite right or the plot isn't smooth. I hope you readers will offer your feedback, and I'll definitely revise it little by little in my spare time. If you think it's passable, please leave a positive review; the platform's recommendation traffic is truly appalling.
The book vividly depicts the cultural atmosphere of Sichuan, showcasing the author's profound writing skills and the considerable effort put into its creation. The Sichuan proverbs, in particular, are incredibly vivid and engaging. The stories are original and logically structured, with some exaggerations that are not excessive. Many parts of the text echo each other throughout.
A folk-themed suspenseful supernatural story set in a local dialect! It's very engaging and original! The author's descriptions are very detailed, drawing me into those supernatural scenes, and sometimes even making me feel a little scared! The process of solving the mystery alongside the protagonist is excellent!
The writing is truly excellent, how could it not even have a rating? I read it from beginning to end, and the story's brilliance and use of Sichuan proverbs far surpass those of most of Tomato's authors; they're on a completely different level. The descriptions of the book's cultural and geographical background are genuinely good, and the inclusion of local delicacies makes it incredibly engaging. It's rare to see such a perfect work these days. Amazing!
Writing supernatural stories requires a strong imagination, and one must admit that the author has a very vivid imagination, yet the story remains logical. The setting of the Yangtze River Delta region further enhances the sense of mystery, making for a very engaging story.
In my opinion, the combination of supernatural suspense and food descriptions is a novel writing style. The overall feel is that of a folk novel, with foreshadowing in the beginning and end. The use of proverbs is indeed very distinctive, making it a fine work. Unfortunately, the author doesn't understand how to generate buzz and attract attention.
This is a very novel work on the theme of ghost stories. The author creates a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere, telling the story from the perspectives of different characters. Through delicate imagery, it gives the reader a sense of immersion, making it a boon for horror and suspense lovers.
The content is so wonderful it's beyond words, a direct five-star review. I hope the author continues to improve and the character portrayals become more in-depth. My eyes are getting tired from reading for so long, I just can't stop! Keep up the good work, author! The author's character portrayal and attention to detail are exquisite; not only the main characters but also the minor ones are well-written. There's no excessive exaggeration or empty rhetoric; the plot is rich and engaging.
