Alas, I’ve Finally Succumbed to the Drought of Good Reads. I Leave My Legacy to the Worthy
I devoted my whole life to fighting the great calamity of having nothing to read. My cultivation reached the late stage of the Sudden Death Realm, but in the end, I was no match for the calamity. I leave behind my legacy and await a worthy successor. If you can bring me back to life, I will give you my all and help you break through the Sudden Death Realm in an instant, taking you straight to the Ascension Realm. 😶
Looking for Western Fantasy Novels
I’ve been into Western fantasy lately: elves, beast girls, gods, magic, and an interesting fantasy world. Does anyone have any good Western fantasy novels to share?
Magic, Academy, Western Style, Preferably a Minor Noble, Harem or No Harem Is Fine
Authentic Primordial Era Fiction: No Dumbed-Down Characters or Broken Power Systems
Looking for books similar to "Pangu: Systems, I'm Back for Revenge!" I'm really tired of those stories that break the whole cultivation system, as well as the prehistoric-world novels that water things down. They're all so mindless. I want a proper prehistoric-world story, like one about a human sage and so on.
Please Recommend Novels Featuring Western Magic
Magic, battle aura, knights, mercenaries, beastmen, elves, mages, undead, dragons
Magic, Other Worlds, and a Touch of Western Fantasy
I’ve run out of things to read. Please recommend something, veterans!
Looking for Pure Invincibility Power Fantasies, Not Ones Where the Protagonist Is Only Invincible for a While
I'm looking for a completely invincible power fantasy. No temporary invincibility, and no stories where the author misunderstands what “invincible” means, like the invincibility domain suddenly failing or becoming much weaker. Just let it be satisfying.
Western Fantasy, Otherworlds, Swords and Sorcery
Something more conventional, with a grander worldbuilding. That’s about it.
Western Fantasy With Noble Lords, Dragons, Magical Beasts, Beast Tamers, and Racial Wars
Looking for books like "The Fairy Bugs and Gem Dragons of the Merlin Family".
Good Reads About Quietly Building a Private Power Base or Becoming a Fiefdom Lord

I’m Out of Top-Tier Lord Novels to Read (Beginners, Stay Away)
Tired of Weak-to-Strong Stories. Recommend a Genius Lead Who Is Brilliant from the Start
I'm looking for books like "Cultivation: My Fortuitous Encounters Can Level Up". The protagonist should be a genius from the start, not become one later.
Western Nobility, Magic, and Swordsmanship, Like Blasphemy. Recommendations, Please!
Revolutionary Novels
Looking for books similar to Transmigrating to Start a Rebellion, and I Mean Business.
A Big Collection of Novels About Building, Survival, and Management
Any genre is fine. I’m okay with protagonists who are birds, beasts, demons, monsters, or anything else.

Having read 16 chapters, I noticed the most criticized parts in the book review section are all in Chapter 9. In Chapter 9, the insubordination of Merri is orchestrated by the protagonist (which is part of the protagonist's plan). The protagonist doesn't kill him because he has a larger scheme, and he doesn't say he won't deal with the father and son (the book mentions that if the original…
Update ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ When you update once, minor flaws will be magnified, and the immaturity of your writing will be criticized. When you update twice, a little patience will be born, and the progress of the plot will be more emphasized. When you update three times, small praises will begin to emerge, and the number of dead followers will start to decrease.
First, the world-building is vast; second, the talents within it feel quite novel; and third, the "All-Seeing Eye" talent seems a bit exaggerated in name, but it's understandable. However, one chapter a day is far too little; I hope the author will update more frequently.
It's enjoyable and unconventional, with a good plot. It avoids the typical Gryffindor-only narrative, allowing players to choose Slytherin based on their own interests. The power system is well-developed, divided into Knights, Mages, and Soul Masters, with further subcategories and unique ability concepts.
This is a pretty good Western fantasy novel. The protagonist's initial power-up is huge and satisfying, and the explanations and development are clear so it doesn't feel jarring, without being overwhelmingly invincible. The writing is logical and well-written. The world-building incorporates elements of traditional Western fantasy and Goblin Slayer, making it quite interesting.
This is great! I wish the author good health, a happy and smooth life, and that they can update 100,000 words a day.
The early chapters were mostly fine, but after taking on apprentices, the writing became somewhat disjointed, causing issues with the established character's personality. It started to change around chapter 80, though there were some problems around chapters 78, but the revisions were quick enough. Four stars, depending on how it develops.
It's so beautiful! It perfectly matches my ideal Western fantasy character stats, and the talent system is amazing. What I'd love even better is that the talents can evolve! Finally, I hope the clones can stack and possess other characters. There's a bit too little detail in the fight scenes though.
It's good, but updating only one chapter a day is a bit too little. It would be great if you could update more often.
There are no mindless plots, the rhythm is good and there are exciting moments. The protagonist has some cheat codes but uses them reasonably. The level of strength is not ridiculously high. There are no characters who can't resist beautiful women. All the characters and families that appear are intelligent and have their own style. It is very much to my liking.
