Some Completed Books I've Read and Want to Recommend!
I have been reading for many years. Many books have left a deep impression on me, while even more have quietly faded from memory. I suddenly felt like making a list to recommend the books I have read in recent years, while also leaving myself a memento. I do not like shallow wish-fulfillment novels. I will not read clichéd plots, messy writing, or padded content!
A Little Bit of Everything: Let's Enjoy These Together
Some classics I’ve read or am currently following, all interesting books. I wouldn’t call every single one a hidden gem, but each has something special. I’ll keep exploring the sea of books and updating this list for everyone. If you find something you like, tap the heart ❤. If these books suit your taste, please follow the list 😘
Books to Cure a Reading Slump
These are books I think are pretty good. Some are ones I read a while ago but don't think much of now. I'm curious what everyone else thinks. I've read every one of them, and only added the promising ones once they had enough chapters. There are classics here, so you're guaranteed a good read. Just have to vent: so many books by big-name authors these days are unreliable. There are barely any I can stick with, which is frustrating.

A Refreshing Breeze from a Thousand Miles Away
There’s no ranking to my reading list. I’ve read every book here carefully. Some have wonderfully wild ideas, some have fresh plot setups, some are deeply moving, and others are simply a pleasure to read. I mainly recommend promising new books: potential can take you a long way, and good books catch the wind and soar. Everyone’s welcome to take a look.

Now, a report from our studio: Do you want your literary skills to rival Zhu Youxiao's, and your martial arts to rival Wu Dalang's...? Do you want to wander through a hundred fragrant flowers...?

My reading journey has kept pace with online fiction, from beginner to veteran-reader tastes. No heart-wrenching angst is important, a believable plot is essential, and an enjoyable reading experience is a must. I've sampled the books below and am following their updates.

At seven, you started elementary school. On your first day, you were bullied by a fifth-grader. You couldn't beat him, and you bitterly vowed in your heart, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river." At thirteen, you're at the peak of your sixth-grade years. Years of martial arts training have given you the air of a mischievous kid.

The main character's master was alright before his death, but his intelligence dropped drastically later on.
The plot is too contrived, and the main and supporting characters all have bizarre thought processes. It's clearly fabricated to create conflict and drive the plot forward.
The story was going so well, but those Yun sisters in over a hundred chapters really gave me the creeps.
A brainless villain, dies from poisoning, extremely poisonous in the middle stage!
What's wrong with the protagonist? He hasn't even cultivated immortality, yet he's already engaging in scheming and backstabbing. Does he even have the ability to do that? He's two-faced, constantly plotting and scheming against each other. It's annoying.
Previously, a damaged magic weapon sold for about 200,000 spirit stones, and later a mutated pig at the Qi Refining level sold for around 180,000. Then, it's constantly being used to acquire Qi Refining level items for tens of thousands of spirit stones. The plot after the protagonist's master's accident feels like it was written by a different author. 😰
Nothing particularly bad, nothing particularly exciting either, just a bit bland.
The writing is alright. Of the massive resources the protagonist plunders, a third is wasted by sect underlings because of his boasting, a third is used to woo women—female immortals, ghosts, and demons—and a third is used for cultivation. The small world part is just about a lazy bachelor who's too lazy to watch. None of the female leads are serious.
