I'm in a reading slump and don't know what to read. I can't get into so many books. Recommend something worth reading, not mindless, and with an original angle. History, fantasy, cultivation, Primordial Chaos, founding a nation overseas, showbiz, urban stories, anything goes. Good writing is all that matters, as long as it draws me in.

This is fantastic! It's been a long time since I've read a Xianxia novel that I truly enjoyed. It avoids the usual nested structures and unnecessary complex realms, and the character development is excellent. It turns out that not all Xianxia protagonists are subjected to the inexplicable cycle of being hunted down and then achieving a comeback.
I was initially drawn in by the title and clicked on it casually, expecting another typical wish-fulfillment novel. However, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a gem! The protagonist is a truly venerable immortal with Taoist integrity, who doesn't indiscriminately kill the innocent, isn't obsessed with treasure hunting or power struggles, and is solely focused on cultivating his Tao with a tranquil and…
Unlike the prevailing notions of online trends, this work breaks free from the monotony of daily life. Many of its concepts and ideas are derived from the traditional Journey to the West, which is refreshing. It doesn't replace anyone or act as a substitute for anyone else; it lives authentically and is quite remarkable.
A good book, with a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy martial arts) feel. As long as the character development doesn't rely on AI, the quality is already top-notch.
This novel isn't immediately striking, but it gets better and better as you read on. The protagonist fakes his death to escape, using peach wood to trick the underworld officials into summoning his soul, thus achieving ghost immortality through his faked death.
A traditional, down-to-earth fantasy story. The protagonist doesn't refrain from helping the common people because of their ignorance; the people don't understand, so there's no hidden meaning. Even after helping the Monkey King, the protagonist doesn't force a grandiose image, but rather portrays the Monkey King as endearing, especially like the Monkey King in the old Journey to the West, cute…
A classic poem by an old Taoist cultivator! This single poem encapsulates the essence of Journey to the West. Neither gold nor wood nor bronze, it once dwelled in the netherworld. It needed no alchemical furnace for refinement, relying solely on the power of birth, old age, sickness, and death.
This old-school fantasy novel is so full of ethereal beauty! It's only been forty-odd chapters and I can already smell the aroma of a top-tier immortal herb! Hurry up and update! [Attention][Attention][Attention]
Good book. It's not about gangsters cultivating immortality, nor is it about chaotic battles in prehistoric times; it's very interesting.
It's great! Although it's based on Journey to the West, it doesn't completely rely on the original story. The initial descriptions are a bit carefree, but later on, it increasingly has the feel of a classic fantasy novel. However, the way the little monkey is often described as "crisp" before speaking is a bit distracting after a while. But it doesn't affect the overall plot.
