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!!!

Worth Rereading: Fresh Plots, Original Settings, and No Cliches
Any genre is fine. I've read Tomato novels for so long that I'm in a reading slump. I can guess the plot of so many books just from their descriptions, so I'm looking for something with a fresh premise.
In a Reading Slump...
No cookie-cutter plots, no overdone quick transmigration stories, and no quick transmigration in general. I want something good, fresh, and not angsty.
A Card-Based World and Card Fusion
Looking for books like Cards: My Extraordinary Business Empire. Please recommend some good card-themed novels~

This new cover is powerful, with traditional gold on the left and Western silver on the right. I wonder how much Xuan Chen spent on it 😏, or maybe it's the most AI-generated? Keep it up, big brother who writes Tianyi!
Keep it up, Sister Xuan! Looking forward to the new book, and remember to add the extra chapters, and the bonus chapters from the last book—have you finished it yet? (Note: Why am I called Sister Xuan? Because Xuan Chen once swore to his little brothers in the group chat that he wouldn't break his promise...)
The writing style is more mature than the previous one, but the beginning was a bit slow. Those who have read the first book might find it good, while those who haven't might feel it's too slow. Hopefully, you can speed things up a bit, otherwise, it'll be difficult to gain new fans. 🍉
The grand world-building, diverse narrative techniques, and the author's composed and unhurried approach to writing all showcase the author's personal skill and the book's exceptional readability. Claiming to build upon the past and usher in the future, this book, following the completion of "The Chess Game," is a masterpiece that blends history and traditional culture.
Wuhu~ Sister Xuanchen has started a new book! It's the same game of chess, but a different story. I look forward to playing a new chapter together!
Welcome to the Tianyi system! You'll see a whole new world.
I don't know yet how it will be, but since I've read the previous book, I didn't feel much for it (if only my brain could adjust to remember things from before). Maybe it's because of the different genre. The beginning didn't attract me as much as the previous book. I'll wait and see how the protagonist develops and how it goes (the second son's character wasn't as compelling as the eldest son's at the beginning).
I came from the author's previous book. "Chess" is a combination of auto-chess and sandbox management, with gameplay elements like historical event synergies and bonuses. So far, it's been quite good. Given the author's personality, I think this one will also be without a female lead.
I hope the game will be as interesting and exciting as "Tianyi". @Xuanchen's ensemble cast isn't as strong as the previous book; I hope there are chess players comparable to Li Wuwei, Yun Haokong, Ying Zuyu, and Ge Jun.
I've been following Xuan Chen's previous book, Tian Yi, for several years, changing accounts several times. I've witnessed Zhuge Yi's growth from a rising star in Yu City to a sage. I hope Xuan Chen's new book can achieve even greater success!
