The stories that kept me company through the long years

I started reading novels in 1996, so it's been over twenty years now. I think I have a decent eye for books, so I'll recommend anything that catches my fancy. Hope you enjoy them 😊 I generally don't recommend very old or famous books, since that doesn't help veteran readers find something new.

Is there really another world where one can cultivate immortality, or another dimension where one can live forever? With what I know so far, I can’t say. But that won’t stop us from letting our imaginations run wild in the world of online fiction. Follow one protagonist after another as they rise from humble beginnings, step by step, to become immortals, roam the martial world, retire to a carefree life in the countryside, find themselves surrounded by beautiful women, or end up alone.

I was persuaded to quit when I saw that the protagonist didn't want to become a disciple As I analyzed earlier, I had no backing and was beaten everywhere. I can only accept it as a coward when facing the disciples of the big sect. If you want to say that no one has ever liked you, forget it. Later, there is a plot about the opportunity to become a disciple of a big sect.
What would happen if an ordinary person without a sect or lineage tried to cultivate in the world of Shushan? Huanzhu Louzhu has already written about that: Two ordinary people aspired to cultivate immortality, but could not find a master or a senior expert willing to take them on as disciples.
The first thing Shushan did was to conceal the secrets of heaven. A bunch of people refused to ascend, and a bunch of Bodhisattvas and Arhats refused to leave. Moreover, everything that was there was said to have an owner.
Within the first ten chapters, the protagonist has already faced multiple life-or-death crises, surviving only thanks to his protagonist's plot armor. A protagonist who lacks any self-awareness is quite useless.
Seeing that everyone is criticizing the author makes me feel relieved.
Describing the "predestined fate" of Mount Shu is almost impossible. The reason is simple: Mount Shu has a celestial realm, and the two realms are interconnected. The Crimson-Armed Immortal frequently visits friends in the celestial realm, and the Giant Tree God Lord came from there. Long-Eyebrowed Master is also a celestial being descended to earth.
Why are there quarrels in the comments section? The author uses the world of Shushan Swordsman. But I definitely haven't read the original work, and I haven't understood its background and setting. Then the writing method of Xiaobai's time-traveling Long Aotian was still used, but the original work was a classical fairy tale. Many of the people who came to see it came because of the Shushan Swordsman reputation, but they ended up selling it as dog meat. Isn't this a scolding!
This is practically a classic "Dragon Overlord" trope... Becoming an apprentice? No need, I have the author; sect members supporting each other? No need, I have the author; need the texts and secret codes required to read Daoist arts? No need, the author says it's fine; protection from a powerful figure? Even less needed, the author is all I need.
The main storyline is poorly designed, falling into the original plot. They're obsessed with sword fighting, without even considering their own limitations!
This book is utterly toxic and utterly garbage! Work and life are already stressful enough! Reading it makes me feel even worse!!
