Memories of Those Years
I've forgotten many books I've read, or remember only fragments, and quite a few can't be found on Qidian. This list is just to commemorate the days when I used to read novels. They may not be masterpieces, but at least they suited my tastes at the time.

Completed Classics and Great New Reads in Mythical Cultivation, Primordial Chaos, and Investiture of the Gods
This list is devoted to Primordial World stories and similar novels, with the Primordial World as their main setting. It's meant to offer fellow readers a feast of primordial-themed fiction, with something for every taste. These are books I've read and enjoyed. The list includes classics that are complete as well as newer books that are still worth reading. I won't cover books that have been removed, abandoned, or censored. There are also many stories based on Journey to the West, so they aren'

Judging from the synopsis, the protagonist is a traitor who betrays his master and ancestors. If you want to fight against Yuanshi, why don't you just become a disciple of the Jie Sect? Why bother with the Chan Sect?!
Guang Chengzi was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. The protagonist becomes Guang Chengzi's disciple and then joins forces with Nuwa and Tongtian to fight against Yuanshi Tianzun? Yuanshi Tianzun would say, "How the hell could I have a disciple like you?"
What the hell! How dare this treacherous and disloyal person utter such shameless words?
Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, Teacher! These three brothers are just fighting amongst themselves, nothing to you. You dare to get involved? The Supreme Lord will kill you first. Would anyone even read this book? The synopsis alone is enough to deter anyone. And you even stole several spiritual treasures, claiming to be able to unite with Nuwa and the Heavenly Emperor? Who do you think you are? Can an ant really ally with a sage?
Everyone says it's wrong for the protagonist to help Tongtian fight Yuanshi, but according to the social custom of the time, elders were valued more than teachers, so it makes sense logically. I think most netizens, having been exposed to so many versions of Investiture of the Gods, would generally prefer Tongtian > Taishang > Zhunti > Yuanshi. After all, the author wasn't the real protagonist, so it's natural to follow his preferences, which I think is perfectly reasonable.
Is it really okay to betray your master and ancestors? Forget about the Primordial One, even the Heavenly One would kill you with a single sword strike!
If the protagonist's Creation Cauldron is targeted by Ran Deng, he must die, even if protected by a supreme innate treasure. In the Investiture of the Gods, who survived being targeted by Ran Deng? Even Zhao Gongming, so powerful, was schemed against and killed by Ran Deng. How confident is the protagonist? So many people want to harm him, yet none of them died.
Red flowers, white leaves, green lotus roots—all Taoist sects under heaven are one family. Even if the Primordial One doesn't cleave you, the Heavenly One will.
Many of the settings are invalid. Buzhou Mountain is Buzhou Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain is Kunlun Mountain. How come the lower half of Buzhou Mountain becomes Kunlun Mountain after it breaks? Read more prehistoric fantasy novels.
I can't stand it anymore. There are too many typos, the article has no paragraphs, it feels like an essay written by a primary school student.
