   It's incredibly well-written (single female lead, traditional fantasy, the protagonist is very devoted, the supporting characters aren't brain-dead or womanizing, there are no disgusting plots, and the killings are decisive). As a bookworm with 1000 hours of reading time, I highly recommend it. I don't know why such a good book isn't getting many readers.

    Reader note

    The novel *The Vast and Misty Sky* is conceptually built upon the Buddha's description of the Four Elements in the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra*. The Four Elements are earth, water, fire, and wind—the four energies. These are also the main energies discussed in *Tibetan Life and Death*, and are primarily mentioned in the so-called *Phowa* practice and Padmasambhava's *Bardo* (the intermediate state between death and rebirth). In Buddhism, they are infinitely large and infinitely small. These Four Elements also possess this characteristic. If the Earth is constructed from earth, water, fire, and wind, as quoted in the opening of *The Vast and Misty Sky*, then each of our physical bodies is also formed from these Four Elements. Earth—is our bones; water—is our blood; fire—is our heat energy; and wind—is the qi circulating within our bodies. If the Earth is a living entity, then each of our bodies is also a living entity—a sentient being. Countless sentient beings reside within us, coexisting and resonating with us in this cycle of life. The novel is structured upon this conceptual foundation. This vast backdrop represents a demonic heart seeking to enter the mortal realm and redeem it. It is enveloped by the four energies of earth, water, fire, and wind. After countless eons, the demonic heart gradually sheds its demonic elements through the interplay of these four energies. To allow these energies to better control the demon's power, the gods who control these four energies also descend upon this vast expanse. Reflecting on our physical bodies, aren't our desire-filled hearts also enveloped by earth, water, fire, and wind, coming to this Saha world for redemption? That ethereal mist is the boundary between the demonic heart itself and desire. When desire triumphs over reason, the ghostly mist spawns a destructive creature and begins to proliferate. It foreshadows that excessive indulgence in desires will bring viruses, cancer, and death closer to our bodies. Rather than calling this a novel, I want to use it to tell a story of peaceful coexistence between the beings within our own bodies and ourselves. The crimson lotus represents our heart, hence its fiery red and intense nature, yet it cannot bear excessive desires. The green, red, and white lotuses are analogous to our kidneys. They belong to the water element, providing us with the life-giving energy, but they are also the main organs for detoxification, and the place where toxins are secreted in this vast expanse. The Kunling Kingdom is like our stomach; it must gather all energy to continuously nourish the energy we receive from the outside world… These words carry life and power; I hope you enjoy them.

    202603, 3008🔥🔥🔥 I'm recommending the traditional fantasy novel *Ling Tu* for three reasons! First, this is my own fantasy world as a veteran fantasy reader, and what I've written might be exactly what you're looking for. Second, it features a completely new advancement system, spanning from Earth to Mars and then to endlessly distant cultivation worlds. The protagonist, like myself, drifts through life, and eight or nine out of ten things don't go as planned. While frustrating, this is a true reflection of most people's lives, and I hope everyone doesn't live in a mindless, self-indulgent fantasy. Third, I've been writing this book for three years, currently at 2.87 million words. Although there haven't been any recommendations, I want to truly finish this story without regrets; it's a deep-seated conviction. The rallying cry has sounded; we're just waiting for you!

All that remained was his passion for the world and his desire to protect it. “I’m going to change all of this...” “I’m going to forge a new path...” These were his honest thoughts now, and the thing he wanted most to do. Even if it meant being torn to pieces, he would fight, compete, and seize what he wanted! At the thought, his eyes trembled, revealing a hint of excitement and a touch of madness.

    This book truly embodies the atmosphere of Chinese horror. The protagonist uses folk secrets to outwit ghosts and monsters. The plot has many twists and turns, the logic is rigorous and doesn't make the story seem unintelligent, and the writing is solid in its details.

    Reader note

    The world-building follows the style of early-stage *Battle Through the Heavens* and *Douluo Continent*, then transitions to *Perfect World* and *Covering the Sky*, and finally delves into a self-created universe of physics and metaphysics. The plot may seem somewhat clichéd and boring on the surface, but it requires careful viewing. It aims to use realistic scenes to explore the mysteries of life and death, and the eruption of emotions. It uses a fantasy framework to recreate a spiritual duel reminiscent of *Xia Lan*, not for sensationalism, but to reveal the true nature of light and darkness, right and wrong—qualities that reside within our own hearts.

39. 39 白 Journey to the West in Plain Language 白话文西游记 Yu Jiacheng余家诚Eastern Fantasy205k WordsOngoing Compared with other translations of Journey to the West, mine has a few distinctive features: First, I have broken down every chapter.

Second, I have split up long paragraphs into the shorter paragraphs popular in novels today, making the book more enjoyable to read. Third, I have added notes in [...] and comments in ^...^.

    Reader note

    This vernacular translation of the complete *Journey to the West* is not a literal translation. Instead, it interprets and cleverly integrates explanations of parts of the original text and the 1986 TV series that left readers confused. Structurally, because each chapter of the original is quite long, the first and second chapters are each divided into six smaller chapters, and the third chapter into four, each with a new title. From the fourth chapter onwards, each chapter is divided into three parts (upper, middle, and lower) and given a new title. If this is your first time reading *Journey to the West*, this vernacular translation will be easier to understand than the original text; if you have read *Journey to the West* before, this translation will clarify many previously confusing points, leading you to exclaim, "So that's how it is!" Happy reading!
