   Reader note

   Is science fiction too niche? Earth faces crisis, survival in space, and interstellar civilizations vying for existence. It draws inspiration from *The Three-Body Problem* and *Stellaris*, but forges its own path. It's unsystematic, unconventional, profound, and worth reading. I welcome feedback, positive reviews, and encouragement.

7. 1357 修 A Guide to Cultivation Civilization 修真文明指南 Crispy Pork Belly香脆五花肉Eastern Fantasy1.5M WordsOngoing The laws of physics in the world of cultivation, the periodic table of chemical elements along the path of cultivation, the theory of biological evolution among fantasy races...

   Reader note

   This novel is probably the slowest-burning novel I've ever read. It covers 870,000 words from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, and these aren't filler words; the details are described in meticulous detail. The characters are also very vividly portrayed.
