Must-Reads 2
Tail Fish classifies her own works as horror, but I'm not quite sure how to categorize them either. Let me think about it some more. I'll put them here for now and write more later.
Worlds of Their Own
Strong heroines, clever schemes, and plenty of thrills.
Modern Romance

Books That Match My Personal Taste
Dropped Reads
Everything I Fully Purchased
A Shot of Thrills to Break Up the Monotony
Whether it's demons and monsters, superpowers, urban legends, or survival games, the story should be internally consistent, not just hand out an overpowered golden finger. It should be able to move me.
Stories I've Bought
The ones I've bought all the chapters for should be pretty good.
Some Books I Like
No bad endings.

Horror and the Supernatural
A niche taste. Some entries are rather frightening, so mind when you read them.

On the road
Supernatural and Mythical
Recommendations for folklore and strange-tales stories
Romance With Horror, Western Fantasy, Mystery, Apocalypse, and Niche Kinks
They're all pretty niche. I wonder if anyone else shares my tastes.

Classics That Keep You Coming Back for More
Love These
I really love mystery novels.
Horror and Supernatural Fiction
Compelling worldbuilding and characters.
My Favorite BG Romance
Interesting Books Worth Checking Out
All kinds of genres. Four stars and up means good. My basic requirements are an interesting story, smooth writing, and no glaring plot holes. I don't like overly cloying romance.
[Strong Female Lead] Plot-Driven Stories
All are stories centered on powerful female protagonists and their careers, with various relationship setups including multiple male supporting characters, one-on-one romance, and no CP. This list is continuously updated, with new books joining all the time.

I've read several of Yu Zong's books over the years, but only this one left me feeling somewhat disappointed at the end. It might be related to a change in Yu Zong's state of mind; I feel he no longer wants to interact with many people in the world, only wanting to maintain connections with a select few friends and family.
I initially thought it wouldn't be good and didn't even bother reading it, but the extensive revisions after it was finished are truly touching. I'm subscribing to the entire series to show my support.
My personal feeling (this is really just my personal feeling, you can argue with me if you want): the old story fits the name "Flesh and Bone Cage" better, and is more closely related to the connection between people and stones; in the new story, the appearance of the ghost fetus seems to have no necessary connection with the stones.
Squat, kick me when you're done fixing this! 🤩
When will it be finished? I've been saving it up and I'm afraid to look at it.
I'm so looking forward to the new version after this major overhaul! Two chapters a day aren't enough! 🐶🌹
It's a bit of a (feeling of mixed emotions). Both characters are ruthless, but while the Yan Ruyu in the previous installment was pessimistic and world-weary, the Yan Ruyu in this one is genuinely just trying to survive.
Personally, I think this is a complete tragedy; it's only a matter of time before the Door Gods lose to the Ghosts. First, only two branches of the Nine Gates remain, and their populations are extremely dwindling. Early on, it was mentioned that the more dispersed the population, the fewer capable children they have. The only newborn mentioned at the end of the book is an ordinary person.
There must be plenty more!
