Masterpieces Worth Staying Up All Night to Read
Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
Let Me Witness a Glorious Golden Age (Looking for Good Books, I'm Desperate)
Please recommend good books, please! I am truly out of things to read.
Any Books with Ideas Bigger Than the Solar System?
I'm looking for books like "The Keyboard Warrior Born from a Hailstorm". I'd love a story that keeps switching between urban settings and wild imaginative scenarios, with ideas so huge they can contain countless planets. Does anything like that exist? Actually, I do have a simple little novel here. Anyone else have one?
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.

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.
Another Potential Masterpiece Is Emerging, and It's Only for Readers with Refined Taste
Looking for something like "Illusion Realm Patch". No templates or predictable formulas. You have no idea where the next chapter is going until you finish it. It has an original premise, isn't mindless, and has depth...
Looking for Traditional Cultivation Novels Where the Protagonist Joins a Sect Normally: No Transmigration, No Rebirth
I’m out of books to read and want a proper, traditional cultivation novel. No transmigration or rebirth, just the usual apprenticeship and joining a sect. I don’t mind whether there’s a couple. I especially want a long, detailed story. Thanks!

Authentic Taoist Novels About Orthodox Taoist Heirs
I'm looking for books like "The Daoist's Exorcism". No Five Deficiencies and Three Lacks, and don't kill off the protagonist's grandpa or grandma from the start. I want him to find a demon or monster for a wife. Something like "The Daoist's Exorcism".

The immortals of the Jie Sect are flesh and blood; they know they will be listed on the list, but they only seek to have a clear conscience. The author writes very well; it doesn't pander to the "feel-good" genre. It's clear the author has depth and original thought. Keep up the good work!
This prehistoric world novel is really well written. There are no so-called good guys or bad guys, only doctrines and interests above all else. There are also no particularly superficial conspiracy theories in other prehistoric world novels, such as Yuanshi looking down on the scaled armor, or Hongjun plotting to devour Pangu's Dao Fruit. All the great beings are plotting for the sake of proving the Dao!
The author offers a completely new perspective, creating a novel unlike any other in the prehistoric fantasy genre. It boasts strong logic and is quite interesting. The character portrayals are excellent, with the members of the Jie Sect displaying great loyalty and righteousness. It seamlessly blends mythological elements of the Great Luo Immortal realm with the prehistoric world. Keep up the good work, author! 🥰🥰🥰
I've only read four chapters and I already think it's well-written. If the author can maintain this level, it's bound to be a hit. What I appreciate most is that the characters' personalities are befitting of cultivators, unlike Yang Shizi's other fantasy novels where characters cultivate for millions of years but still act like immature children (for example, in one novel, a Heavenly Venerable…
It's well-written. It's definitely in the "primordial era" genre, but not the traditional one. Those looking for harem or similar elements might want to skip this. Also, my understanding might be slightly different. (Cultivation level and attainment level are two different things; they shouldn't be confused. Cultivation level refers to one's stage of cultivation, such as the Great Luo realm.
It's been a long time since I've reviewed a book, and the depth and precision of this one are truly admirable. It's clear the author put their heart into it. It's a fantastical book that blends multiple classic works from a fresh perspective, creating a work with both fantasy and mythological elements.
I'll support it first. This book mainly uses relatively old settings, plus a few new ones created by the author. Some people who have only read "Buddha is the Way" and its derivative "Primordial Era" genre, or even those who haven't read "Buddha is the Way" at all, insist on saying this is wrong and that is wrong. Please, "Buddha is the Way" isn't orthodox either.
This book is a must-read. If you're tired of the same old "primordial fantasy" novels, it will make you fall in love with this imaginative world again. It's not just a deconstruction of mythology, but also a profound exploration of "rules," "fate," and "human nature"—the sparks that fly when ancient myths meet a young perspective are far more dazzling than you can imagine.
Alas, I stumbled upon a novel by chance, initially thinking it would be just another lighthearted Journey to the West or Investiture of the Gods. But as I read through the final chapters on the Hundred Schools of Thought and the ancient gods, it felt increasingly familiar. Today, while urging for updates, I discovered the author's work and realized it was my previous favorite, *Qingxuan*.
It's not a generic, formulaic piece; it has its own unique perspective and skillfully integrates the Taoist mythology system. The author possesses a vast amount of knowledge, so much so that it can be somewhat disorganized, and those without a certain foundation in the subject might find it difficult to read. However, there's no need to pander to the masses; just write what you want to say.
