Don't make the same mistake twice.
Book Haven: Great Reads Worth Checking Out
Recommendations from a longtime bookworm. There are both new and old books. I'll start with the recommendations, and get to the reviews later.
Slow-Burning Gems That Reward a Patient Read
A record of classics from years past: cool-headed, rational protagonists, intelligent supporting characters, exciting plots, and books that reward the reader.
Keeping a Record
Keeping track of books that seem pretty good.
Over the Past Thirty Years
I've read most genres over the past decade or so, and over time I've built up a collection of novels I personally enjoy. Let me think back and add to it bit by bit. I'll update it from time to time. For thirty years, I searched for a swordsman. Leaves fell and branches sprouted again, time after time. Since the day I first saw peach blossoms, I've never doubted it again.
No CP or One-on-One Romance (A Mixed Bag of Genres)
Books that moved me, books I loved.
Not for Beginners, Few Clichés
I'm not into formulaic stories, and official recommendations just don't do it for me, so I made this list. If you have recommendations, let me know. P.S. Most of what I read is dark and unconventional, so it might make you a little uncomfortable, but the characters are definitely smarter than average! I've become obsessed with Hearts of Iron IV, and it's made me interested in modern history.

What I Consider Classic Masterpieces
Collecting classic wuxia stories I've enjoyed, and sharing them with everyone. I only collect wuxia, though.
Classic Wuxia Masterpieces
This list is about quality, not popularity. Not beginner-friendly fiction: strong writing, a great sense of purpose, and a refreshing voice. Well worth reading. Please recommend similar gems so I can expand the list.

It's a very good work, but unfortunately, it's not very popular. It seems the martial arts genre has ultimately declined; it's so hard to find one with such charm, yet it's performing so poorly. Sigh, martial arts fight scenes, character essence, and momentum are clearly much more impressive than fantasy films, and the overall structure is also easier to grasp. The author put in a lot of effort, keep it up!
A masterpiece in the martial arts detective genre. It surpasses even my favorite works such as "The Auspicious Lotus Pavilion" and "The Deadly Incense". The numerous plot twists are very satisfying to watch. Some twists may seem a little far-fetched, but they are all logically resolved.
This is a good book, and the author's dedication is admirable. Writing is a tedious process, but you can derive pleasure from it. However, once your creative passion is worn down, all that's left is boredom, especially when you're playing alone. Wuxia (martial arts) fiction has declined, so I'm glad to see such a good book. Keep it up, author! (๑◝ᴗ◜๑)
Hey everyone who's been bombarded with this message, please add it to your favorites! The author's a nobody, so please add it to your favorites and let me say a little something during his live stream 😚.
Farewell to Mr. Jin Yong October 30, 2018
This is indeed a good book. Despite its poor sales, the author persevered and has kept writing it until now. Respect to you!
Perhaps it's because life moves too fast these days. Fast-paced, time-travel novels are all the rage. Authors, keep going! Don't give up on the era of martial arts fiction; it will return!
Why is nobody reading it? Because the plot design and arrangement are so novel and unique, this kind of POV-style novel lacks a sense of immersion and lacks a main emotional thread that keeps you following. The writing is certainly good, but it's a pity.
If you were blown away by Shirogane's cuteness, look here!
Reading Guide 1. This book consists of 10 volumes, with crime-solving as the main plot. It's told from the female protagonist Xie Yixiang's first-person perspective, though not in every case. The female protagonist is merely a connecting thread, not the true main character. The true protagonist is Xian Jingyue, my handsome senior brother, the martial arts expert.
I came from Jiang San Gongzi's blog; the author writes really well!
