Fans of Female Protagonists and Western Fantasy
A huge fan of ensemble casts. I love stories with strong female leads, lots of Western fantasy worldbuilding, and infinite-flow plots, as well as authors who can turn any trope into a story.
Novels That Impressed This Old Hand in 2025–2026
I don't usually recommend books unless they've made a strong impression on me. The Top rankings aren't in any particular order, and the other works each have their own strengths. How much I write about a book depends on inspiration and doesn't reflect its quality.
Favorites
I love how strong the female leads are on the inside
BG Cultivation or Xianxia
It should have at least two of these: a compelling story, good writing, and solid logic.
Big Ideas
A touch of mystery. One of these takes serious brainpower: I'm talking about Breaking the Precepts. No other novel has ever made me think so hard or left such a deep, unforgettable impression.
Handpicked

Books I Really Love, All Kinds of Genres
A record of the books I consider nine-out-of-ten reads. I'm an omnivore with few dealbreakers and no particular character preferences. My biggest dealbreakers are bad writing and illogical plots. Some books have common dealbreakers, so proceed with caution.

Breaking the Ring, my White Moonlight, my top 3 romance online articles, enlightenment of my romantic aesthetic preferences, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, every time I read an article I have to silently compare, only to find that breaking the ring is really a treasure, my favorite small building, my favorite night tour, my favorite Su He, and my Chaoge, Time, Fifth Qinghan... [Love Eyes] [Love Eyes] [Love Eyes]
In the evening, I came across Station B's commentary about the Flying Immortal from Heaven. Looking at this book again, I found that the core of my favorite thoughts is indeed the same. Emotions and humanity are always the most precious gifts a person can receive. People's experience of love is always so intense and unique. There is Qi Qi's silent letting go of Su He's back, falling in love to the point of not loving each other; there is also the brotherly love between Su He and Ye You who know each other best in this life, and are willing to go through fire and water to protect each other, life and death; The Fifth Qinghan practiced hard and practiced the Love Sword to end his love, but he was ultimately defeated by the love word for a romantic life; Fen Deng played with feelings and was arrogant, and in vain he was the true Buddha who looked down on all living beings, and was destroyed by the word of love; because Gu Jie and Ye Yin had experienced the light and heat of love, they were no longer willing to endure loneliness, and would rather give up their strong power and supreme status to walk in the miserable world of mortals and leave in pursuit of love... Born out of love and held by love, love is the spirituality endowed by the Creator on human beings, and it has already entered the souls of the protagonists in Breaking the Ring. In the past, I paid more attention to the wild plots and imagination in Breaking the Ring, but now I find that there are really many descriptions of love in Breaking the Ring, with different stages, different types, and different forms. The reincarnation of cause and effect is the bright line of breaking the precept, building the most vast and majestic world view and the most exciting and moving story rhythm since the romance web. The seven emotions and six desires in human nature are the hidden thread and core of breaking the precept, giving rise to the most evocative story and showing the bright glory of humanism.
Recently, Wenhuang has been revisiting Broken Ring again, and I have looked more carefully, and I feel more and more that Xiao Qiao is awesome, with exquisite conception, realistic character creation, complex multi-line narrative, rich foreshadowing and suspense, romantic love description, sophisticated emotional control, and dense information density. Almost every seemingly ordinary paragraph of text in the early stage is contrasted in the later text. There is no nonsense, and the characters' previous love and hatred are outlined in just a few strokes. It is true that every sentence has echoes and everyone has something to say. I have been reading literature for more than ten years, and among my more picky and unpopular aesthetic preferences, no literature can compare with it. Just like the foreshadowing of Xiaolou's Taoist heart, it has been exaggerated almost from the beginning. From every time she complained, every action, every time she was oppressed, every time she was infected by others, her Taoist heart became more and more solid, and her behavior became more and more determined. For example, did anyone understand Xiaolou's reckless action in the first chapter of the Four Su Demons and Nine Sons? I saw a lot of people scolding her in the comment section. But take a closer look at how many layers Xiao Qiao has laid. 1. Xiaolou herself is a person with a strong sense of justice. She was a doctor in her previous life, has a modern outlook on life, and has been practicing the precepts for many years in this life, which makes her attach great importance to life. Every time she faced Gao Zhan, Yue Ze and others' sharp complaints, it showed her nature of seeking truth and doing good. 2. As a bystander, she experienced the Guiyuan Army Discipline and the disciples of the First Sword Sect fighting against the enemy. She was inspired and shocked in her heart. She knew that she was not alone in her journey, and that her ancestors were already walking. This was a key link from recognition to action. 3. She has the Red Lotus trump card and the invisibility skill. She once used this to severely damage the 20th level Great Phoenix Golden Feather. In terms of self-awareness, she has abilities that can be tried. 4. Subconscious sense of security when staying by Night Tour's side 5. Mo Jiuzi has gone too far and has started killing without distinction (release monsters → besiege the city, the author really depicts it in a very vivid way). Xiaolou has experienced a great inner struggle. I didn't start out as a leader, only to find that the big shots didn't care about me, and the Buddhist phoenix didn't care about me. I thought about Honglian's mission and my own future mission, and then I really made up my mind to do it. This is a very unpleasant character logic that does not conform to the psychology of readers of Shuangwen. Let an ant shake a big tree. If you can't solve it yourself, you will let others in the same industry wipe your butt. But Xiao Qiao has really carefully perfected the logic of the characters, so readers who read it carefully will never feel that it is outrageous. Therefore, readers who understand this characterization and are aware of the author's layers of narrative will be particularly able to sympathize with her and understand her. Of course, those who don't understand will just scold him for being stupid and acting impulsively. The love in it is also very touching. It is not only a grand love epic, but also a lot of tenderness hidden in the subtleties, engraved in every word, every move. Xiao Qiao's writing is too descriptive. The first few times I read it, I was happy with the grand narratives. Now that I read it, I realized that the good details are really more meaningful as they get better. The supporting characters in it, the advancement of Xiaolou's Taoist heart, the linkage between Sisu and Chixiao, the emotional entanglements of the characters (Xiaolou and Yeyou, Xiaolou and Suhe, Yeyou and Suhe, Chaoge and Time, Qijue and Bailixi, the past and present lives of Zen Lingzi) , Li Jianzhao's character lines, Ye Chuxin and Qinglang, Yin Hongqing, Hua Lerong...) Almost every pair of characters has its own complete growth line and emotional line. Really, everyone can write a long review of thousands of words to describe and analyze it in detail. (Unfortunately, I am really short of time and energy now, otherwise I would really like to expand my writing) Now I am correcting my previous statement, this is my top 1 romance novel, absolutely top 1, and my aesthetic benchmark. In so many years, I have only seen this romance novel that amazed me in all aspects. But such a good article needs to be read patiently and carefully with realistic and human logic. Therefore, those who like it will like it very much, and those who don't like it will think what is written? The wording is vulgar, which makes me feel uncomfortable and frustrated. It's also true that different texts have different audiences.
I love to break the rules so much. It is my favorite online romance and has established my romance aesthetic. In my mind, it is Xiao Qiao's pinnacle work (it is also the only work that Xiao Qiao has finished reading, having read it several times).
It's a routine, a super-good-looking break-up, the most soul-stirring love story, strong humanity and obsession, ingenious karma and fate, and the cutest night out hahahahaha [dog head] [eating melon]
The seventh time I wrote the article, it was different from the other times. Before, I was more immersed in the mystery and shock of the plot, and was moved by the touching stories of the three protagonists. But this time I read it almost word for word, as if I were studying it. It took me a full month, and I didn't miss a single detail, or any of the subtle expressions of the characters. Every time I read a place of interest, I had to stop and reflect carefully. With my shallow experience, I couldn't understand it instantly, so I had to think deeply. Only in this way can we truly experience the joys, sorrows, and joys of the characters, become more and more empathic with the characters, and be more amazed by the author's philosophy of life expressed through the mouths of the characters. The more I read, the more I understand the hard work that the author put into breaking the precept. Not to mention the most exquisite setting of causal reincarnation in this article, every move and smile of this character is quite natural. It is not like reading a novel with a lot of white space, but watching a full-length TV series full of details and vivid images. Well, this is the intense feeling that breaking the precept brings to me.
I saw on Weibo that it was definitely going to be turned into a film and TV show, and I was heartbroken [ bursting into tears ]. The most charming little building, the cutest night outing, the best Su He, the wise and affectionate father Chao Ge, the innocent and romantic mother Time, the impulsive and old-fashioned father Jin Yu, the extremely intelligent baby, Fifth Qinghan, Qijue, Bailixi, Yunzhuzi... Ahhhhh, don't ruin my precept!
One piece a day, my dear broken precepts, cute night outings, and the tenacious and honest little house (oh, and Su He [kiss]) have shaped my aesthetics of romance online writing. It has been eight years since I have seen such a heart-warming yet pure love story [shy]
This is the seventh time I have broken the vows. This time I read it for a very long time. I just felt that after reading such a majestic article, a fiery and dedicated love, and a flesh-and-blood article, many other articles were incomprehensible.
After Li Jianzhao experienced two lives, he finally got a good result and his mind became more open.
