The World of Immortals
Rise to the azure heights, cut down demons below. Roam the world, free and at ease.
Great Historical Fiction (Since There Are Few Historical Novels, There Are Even Fewer Good Ones, So This List Includes Some Abandoned Books)
Quality historical novels involving transmigration. Since many of you tend to enjoy fantasy, I will also include some novels combining fantasy and history here. History remains the main focus.
I Like All Kinds of Transmigration Stories, but Not Fantasy or Alternate History. I Especially Love Historical and Anime Stories
Mostly transmigration stories. I've read every book here from start to finish before recommending it, so updates will be slow

I lurk in Qidian's official and premium groups, digging up the stories behind books and keeping an eye on what the big-name authors are up to. I'm always ready to break some news! I'm Yu Zecheng, and I'm here to feed you some salt!
Recommended by Your Friend, Shuxian
All the books here are ones I think are pretty good. Note: 1. Overall, I prefer lighthearted stories, though that doesn't mean I dislike other kinds. 2. Aside from absolute classics, I'll keep books by authors who have disappeared or abandoned their stories on the list for a while, then remove them. P.S. Lately, I've found several authors who've dropped their stories are thinking of picking them back up. Some have already started working on them. Of course, just because I like a book doesn't me
My Reading List
I've been reading for over a decade, and my Qidian bookshelf has 2,000 novels. Here are some to share! I check out every recommendation. If a book is good but still too short, I'll add it to my bookshelf for now, but not to this list. I'll remove abandoned books. There's no point getting invested in something the author has dropped. Don't lead readers on. I'll add some recommended books too, but if they're too short, there's barely enough to read twice. Please recommend any good books you kn

Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f

No Feel-Good Power Trips, Just Fun and Thought-Provoking Stories
Added a new option: “If I could recommend only five books” The five books that have stuck with me most are Super-Dimensional Wizard, Throne of Magical Arcana, The Primitive Wars, The Azeroth Adventure Guide, and Journey to Klimasha. Of course, Cultivation Chat Group and Lord of the Mysteries are classics too, but those two know far too much, so I won't recommend them. There's also A Scholarly Gathering with My Lich Colleagues, which I've been reading lately. The author hasn't written enough yet
♡A Mixed Bag of Books♥
Most of these are books I've read myself and enjoyed ^ω^, the ones I like. There's a pretty wide mix, mostly xianxia and fantasy, with a few other genres thrown in. ~_~ I tend to get interested in different topics at different times, and sometimes I remember a book I read ages ago and add it here, so the list is a bit eclectic. =^_^= But hunting for books in a mixed collection is fun too! ❀ My favorite thing is searching for books everywhere and adding them to my bookshelf, even if I might never

Saving These for Later
Notes
A Relaxed and Carefree Journey
A house among the trees by the hills and water, peaceful whether walking or staying. After the rain, the sky clears, and I sail a little boat, with fish on one side and wine on the other. At night, my wife and I talk by the lamp, discussing the present and the past. Even when the sun is high, I am still asleep. I am not an immortal, but I am better than one.
A Day in the Pot, a Carefree Immortal in the City
An immortal comes, treading starlight, known as a seeker of the Way and the immortals. I am no weary traveler of the mortal world, with nowhere to call home. I eat wild fruit, swallow clouds and mist, and in my spare time, roam the skies with cranes. For hundreds of years, I’ve kept far from the mortal world, its smoke and bustle. An immortal comes, moon in hand, known as one who loses the way and never returns. A great dream of forty years in the mortal world, all lived to the fullest. All thin

[Comment] If you're not interested in the Zhang sisters, why bother getting involved with them?
Why didn't you just watch quietly? You had to show off. Now that the third sister is dead, she pats her butt and says that the other woman was stupid for insisting on hanging herself on a penniless, incompetent, and unknown person. Then she takes the second sister, who is already married, and leaves her husband's house. If you don't like it but don't hate it either, why not try to get to know it?
I almost died laughing when I read the author's complaints about other cultivation novels. He said that other people's cultivation novels were written like urban martial arts novels, but his own were written like palace intrigue novels.
[Comment] The Ming Dynasty faced problems such as the growing power of civil officials, the emergence of capitalism, and land annexation.
The Tumu Crisis was a boon for civil officials. The power and status of nobles and military officials rapidly declined, and their actual voice and political status decreased further and further. As civil officials grew in power, the imperial power had to rely on eunuchs to confront them and maintain political balance.
He's called an immortal, but he's really just a mortal, burdened by a bunch of worldly ugliness, completely devoid of any immortal aura.
I wholeheartedly agree with the author's critique of current cultivation novels.
The rants are so funny, I almost never watch these cultivation novels anymore. Cultivation is about achieving immortality, having a pure and indifferent heart, and pursuing a carefree path. It's about taking a detached view of worldly affairs. If you're like those novels, with your heart full of schemes and defenses, what's the difference between you and an ordinary person?
[Review] A rare gem of a book.
There aren't many good cultivation novels; most focus on cultivating power and authority. This book, however, has a distinctly ethereal quality. I'll keep reading! I'm a seasoned bookworm, and the best cultivation novels I've read are none other than Xu Gongzi's "Shenyou" and "Lingshan," and another book by another author whose name I've forgotten—anyway, it was quite rare. Keep up the good work, author!
The overall quality is a bit low. The protagonist is at the Golden Core stage and possesses considerable magical power, yet everyone—from high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens—can scheme against him and his disciples… In other cultivation novels, mortals are always portrayed as insignificant ants.
I suggest the author correct his meddlesome habit. Also, you can't just take on any disciple. If you accept a girl just because she cried, what kind of cultivation is that? Cultivation requires a pure heart and few desires, severing ties with mortal life.
The author previously shared his insights on cultivating immortality and the Tao, which I thought would be very engaging. However, upon reading this, I realized I was wrong. Why is saving people considered meritorious? What is merit? If there is a Heavenly Dao, unless it possesses wisdom, I cannot fathom what merit is. Why must cultivating immortality be tied to merit?
This book is garbage, absolutely toxic.
The protagonist is a celestial being in the mortal realm, yet even a mortal can scheme against him. What's the point of his fears and worries? All his disciples are killed.
