Looking for Mystery, Supernatural, and Horror Stories! The Creepier, the Better!
Mystery, supernatural, and horror novels, for any audience. They can be as scary as you like, but the plot, logic, and writing all have to be good. No amateurish writing!!!
Fanfiction Based on Classic TV Dramas
Something like "Nirvana in Fire" and the like.
Any Hong Kong Ghost Stories Set in the 1970s or 1980s?
Any Modern Stories with Supernatural Feng Shui, Fantasy, Mystery, or Creative Premises?
I'd like to read something similar to "Secret Records from Between the Walls": a romance between a human and a ghost, reading feng shui in the mortal world, and battling vengeful spirits in hell.

Lacking any initial abilities, yet daring to meddle in other people's business, and rescuing a stranger and a scammer at that—666!
It's clear that Ah Xiu is the female lead. I hope there won't be any angst later on. Also, the main character is being suppressed too much. She almost died while drawing a talisman. She's too weak. Even if she's refined essence and transformed qi, she shouldn't be this weak.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred have made me ugly. Although these great writers all write the same old stories, they are really well written and there are no particularly toxic points. "Food Produce" is a very good read and listen to.
Before you start, make sure you have your own talismans on you and focus on driving a taxi.
This is the author's alternate account [Note] Let me, the author, sincerely say that this book is a slow-paced blend of Hong Kong comedy, Hong Kong horror, and horror fiction. All handsome men and beautiful women who enjoy this type of story are welcome to read it. If you have any opinions, please let me know and I will make changes.
The main character is suppressed extremely, and there are many other parts I don't want to talk about. Welcome all Shennong to taste!
It's well-written, the plot progresses steadily, and it's not an invincible story. Overall, the author's writing style is quite good, and their knowledge is comprehensive; it's clear they did a lot of research. If they maintain this level of quality, this novel can be considered a rare gem and well worth reading.
The writing is alright, not too bad, and it's not a typical harem novel. Occasionally, it reminds me of scenes from movies or TV shows I've seen, but I can't quite place the faces. It would be great if there were photos after each character introduction or at the end of each chapter (mainly because I'm afraid to go back and search for them, worried about finding close-up photos and revealing their faces 🤦).
It's really good! I've read so many supernatural novels, but this one is truly amazing. I've read it twice already. The author could update a bit more frequently, and a simpler system would be even better, haha. The character relationships are handled well, and the protagonist isn't a saint, but he is a good person. I'd give it an 8.8 Or higher on Tomato Book.
This book is actually quite good. The taxi mileage only serves to limit the protagonist's cheat ability. The protagonist's growth pace is not unbalanced. It's a supernatural story, but not purely horror-oriented. The content is relatively light-hearted, and I would be willing to continue following it.
