Synopsis

On Shen Rong's first day volunteering with the beach rescue team, a family of four nearly drowns. He jumps into the water to save them. When he opens his eyes again, he's standing at a ritual site where people are performing a spirit-medium ceremony. His hands are stained with blood, and there's a corpse at his feet!

How can he suddenly be a murderer? Damn, how can the corpse come back to life? And what is he supposed to do when all the people performing the ritual turn into monsters? He's asking online, and it's urgent!

Of course, no internet strangers offer a solution. Shen Rong is saved by a Jinyiwei guard who drops from the sky. Wait, a Jinyiwei guard? Doesn't that mean he's ended up in the Ming dynasty?

It is the Ming dynasty, all right, just not the one Shen Rong read about in history books. This Ming dynasty is overrun with monsters. Is it... Lovecraftian?

Theme: Overcome the cowardice in your heart and become a better version of yourself. Humanity can overcome fate; I am the god.

I Don't Know, But I Think It's Good

Mostly BL, with a few no-couple stories, a bit of everything. I add whatever I get really into, with some commentary along the way. May all the couples here stay together forever!

Some Are Paywalled

I like reading ongoing stories, but hate following them as they update. A contradiction that has led me to abandon a lot of books. I deleted the ones I'd read before, so I'm keeping track here now

For Personal Use: My Years of Finding Land Mines on Xiao Lv

Lately I've been reading more fanfiction than original fiction. I tend to prefer feel-good stories and fluffy, brain-off reads, or stories focused on close platonic relationships. My preferences: platonic relationships > no romance > danmei = straight romance > yuri.

Stories I Can Finish and Remember

It's already impressive if a novel can keep readers hooked from the first word to the last. If they still remember it afterward, it's a masterpiece. Changing a reader means changing a small part of the world.

A Bit of Everything, Though I'm Picky: B/G and BL I Like

Books I love enough to reread. I'm baffled that some of these authors aren't more popular. They don't even have ratings or rankings, so I can only say I like them.
