Mystery and Detective Fiction
I'm out of books to read. Looking for mystery and detective stories, with a short story every few chapters. Recommend ones you genuinely think are good!
New Writers and New Books: Share Them Here
Looking for books like Sealing Demons and Eradicating Evil.
Supernatural Horror Means Supernatural Horror. Don't Drag in Rule-Based Horror or the Dreadful World
Everyone, Please Recommend Some Horror, Suspense, and Supernatural Novels!
Ideally, something about the protagonist's growth and cultivating the Dao. Please, please!
Do People Really Read New Books?
I always feel that newcomers and new books are all on stand-alone. Please let me take a look at some successful cases.
Metaphysics, Ghost Hunting, and Suspense Novels
Preferably completed, so I can really binge it. Ongoing ones are fine too. Ideally, the heroine should be very capable.
Looking for Traditional, Straightforward Fortune-Telling Stories
The fortune-telling novels I've read lately have been frustrating. They call it divination, but it's basically like narrating a VR movie. So awkward. Are there any with a more aloof protagonist, ideally featuring divination verses and the I Ching?
Ghost Hunting with a System: Human or Ghost Protagonists Are Both Fine, but No Horror-World Settings
Ghost Hunting with a System, Invincible from the Start
Supernatural novels
Mystery, Ghost Hunting, and the Supernatural
Looking for books like Back in the Capital, the Divine Fortune-Telling Young Lady Is Famous Across the Land. This is my first time reading this kind of story. It was great, so please recommend more.

After following it for a while, the suspense of this book was very natural. In the part where the protagonist Lin Zhiyu picks up a book, he feels the strange texture of ancient books from the inexplicable pull at the alley. The detailed description is particularly immersive. The overall reading is not procrastinating. It does not forcefully pile on horror elements, but relies on the plot and details to slowly attract people to read. It is very qualified as a suspense novel.
The protagonist Lin Zhiyu's mentality changes very naturally. From being panicked at the beginning to forcing himself to calm down later, especially when he heard the monster approaching in the tree hole and firmly remembered the rule of "don't look up", the feeling of fear and restraint was very real. In the funeral parlor dungeon, the conflict of rules between different professions is very interesting. For example, the "Requiem" taboo of the undertaker and the night watch requirement of the night watchman make survival difficult. The only drawback I feel is that some of the rules are explained a little late. You might be a little confused at first, but you will find it very interesting after you slowly understand it. Overall, it is a very solid suspense book.
The setting of this book is quite poignant. An ordinary student will be involved in danger by picking up an ancient book. This kind of ordinary to bizarre twist is very attractive. The faceless monsters in the ender forest are very graphically described. Their faces without features and dripping mucus, coupled with the putrid air and twisted trees, you can imagine the depressing environment just by reading the text.
Amazing imagination, very brilliant. It's so addictive to read, it's so beautiful
The language organization ability is very strong, the plot is compact and novel, and there is nothing wrong with it except that the update is slow.
The story is super interesting. Starting from picking up an ancient book, a series of incredible stories happened. The suspenseful ancient events are well described. I like it. Super beautiful, worth recommending
After reading the title, I was very curious and clicked on the first chapter. When I read that the male protagonist discovered a book with an ancient and almost weird style, my curiosity was aroused.
The beginning is well written, rich in imagination and full of suspense.
The male protagonist Lin Zhiyu picked up an ancient book and started a big adventure. I didn't expect the author to have such a rich imagination!
The male protagonist was dragged into a different world by an evil book and almost died. The author is very good at arousing readers' emotions.
