    I highly recommend the first book; it's a rare work that blends the Tang Dynasty with Cthulhu mythos, and it's very interesting.

38. 38 旧 Ashes of the Old World 旧日余烬 Ninety Autumns in January一月九十秋Urban400k WordsOngoing "Some say the world is one enormous nightmare, and everyone lives in it with painstaking care. What do you think, sir?" "Me? I don't have time to watch. Because for me, there's more than one nightmare like this..." At first, no one cared whether they'd had a nightmare the night before, until one day people woke up to find traces of their dreams still lingering before their eyes. And so the world changed. Disaster swept across the land, fear followed like a shadow, and reality crumbled away. 101.8kReads9.3Score16.2kShelves

    Currently at over 600,000 words, it's a Western fantasy, Cthulhu, and potion-themed work with a focus on ensemble casts. The plot is definitely not bad, although the beginning might be off-putting if you don't understand it. However, it's a masterpiece that starts slow but grows on you. It's just a pity that it doesn't have much popularity and not many people are reading it.
