Let's Bring Martial Arts Novels Back to the Jianghu, Guys!
Xuanhuan with a Twist: Even After Achieving Immortality, He Still Keeps a Low Profile, Li Changshou Says He Is Not Alone on This Path
Looking for books like The Undying Mentor. A fantasy novel with a creative premise: after being reborn, the protagonist gains a System and becomes immortal. That doesn’t mean he can let his guard down like Tang Sanzang; he still has to keep a low profile. Let the world change over countless ages: when I return, I’ll still be me. Li Changshou says the way of keeping a low profile will live on!
I'm Out of Things to Read. Please Recommend Something I Can Get Lost In
Looking for books similar to Buddhist Mercy, Damn, Why Is the Little Junior Sister Wielding a Knife? (The Buddha Is Merciful). No period dramas, I've read too many and know all the tropes by heart. Recommend something you can actually finish, and don't suggest anything that's still ongoing!!!
Pure Historical Romance! Ensemble Cast!
Any pure historical political intrigue novels with no transmigration or rebirth!!! Ideally with a bit of an ensemble cast!

The writing is really good, but the protagonist's internet connection is terrible; he keeps getting disconnected after a short time online, and then there's a long wait before you finally see him appear. 🤦
Well, how should I put it? Even if you told me at the end that the Evil Swordsman wasn't the main character, I wouldn't be surprised.
—I've always loved carrying a sword, and I kill without hesitation when I draw it! Hahaha, I'm contradicting myself. I'm leaving now. 😂😂😂
It's impressive, but the main character has a bit too little screen time.
Well written! Let's eat together. Double standards, simp, men with one sword, women extensively introduced, protagonist just background—does this guy have some kind of cheat ability to make the protagonist just lurking around?
It's incredibly good. If it weren't for the synopsis, I wouldn't even know the main character's name. It's amazing! I've never seen this kind of writing before.
I almost never give a book five stars, especially not a book like Tomato! Ninety-nine percent of the time I wouldn't even give it one star! This book is generally okay, you can read it with confidence! I suggest selective reading! The writing style is similar to a TV drama script!
The Mountain God Temple is a famous scene in martial arts novels. A dilapidated temple stands amidst a somber sky, a gentle evening breeze, and the flickering orange firelight. On the walls, shadowy figures, seemingly both human and demonic, appear. A simple yet intelligent girl and a hungry, cunning hyena will engage in a battle here.
This is so well-written! I initially thought a new author couldn't capture the spirit of chivalry in a martial arts novel, but I was completely wrong—it's surprisingly good. Although there was a lot of buildup, the ending was really satisfying! 😆
Actually, this book is quite good. If it were a few years ago, in an era of abundant printed books, it would be a good book. But nowadays, with novels readily available, it's unnecessary to have dozens or even a dozen pages of exposition like those older printed novels. However, to be fair, if you treat it as a classic martial arts novel, it's quite enjoyable. In short, this book feels more like a martial arts novel from a few years ago than a modern one.
