The White-Clad Bookworm's Bookshelf, Currently Taking It Easy
♛ The first book I read was Zhu Xian, and I was hooked from then on. I read pretty much every genre. I generally avoid stories with cheating or where the heroine gets passed around. ♛ Completed works, ongoing stories, and promising new ones are all included. I’m very sensitive to flaws: if several things I can’t stand show up in a row, I’ll delete a book in frustration, no matter how long I’ve followed it or how much I’ve tipped the author. But if a book really suits my taste, I can put up with

Books That Are Pretty Good
A good novel isn't just about telling a good story; it should also provide spiritual enjoyment. Every novel should have at least one theme running through it that makes readers think, such as family, love, friendship, ambition, loyalty, dedication, protection, or responsibility. That's what gives a novel its soul. Distinctive, independent characters give it humanity and make it easy to connect with. A well-planned outline and a clear sense of the bigger picture provide its framework. Strong pros

The book is a good book. There are good and bad chapters in the first 500 chapters. It is not useless to spend a lot of words describing other people. You will find that some settings and character motivations are deeply implanted in your heart subconsciously, but there are still some indiscriminate priorities. It does not mean that you cannot describe others. It is still a bit tiring to describe too much. After five hundred chapters, this problem is basically solved, and the pen and ink are basically concentrated on the protagonist. The benefits of spending a lot of pen and ink in the early stage to describe the worldview begin to emerge. The author has built a rich and colorful world of cultivating immortals, and the protagonist's interpersonal network has been established. You can branch out at will, or you can slowly follow the main line. The detailed world view of this book is actually very different from the traditional mortal stream. There are very few books in the mortal stream that can build a wonderful world of immortality. Most of this kind of books are concentrated in novels about immortality that follow the Shushan Immortal Gourd style. I didn't expect that a novel written by a mortal style could also do this. As a low-level immortal cultivator, the protagonist does not have any golden fingers and is not invincible at the same level. Naturally, there will be no challenges beyond levels. You can clearly feel the hardship of his cultivation. Every level is a strenuous effort. What I appreciate very much is that there is no plot where he breaks through after being locked up in a cave for decades. The protagonist is practicing and wallowing in this immortal society. He needs to complete the sect's tasks every day, draw talismans and sell them to earn spiritual stones every day. Cultivation resources are always in short supply. We watched the protagonist make some small fortunes through some encounters, but he is still thrown into the endless practice, swallowed up easily like a black hole. The sect's help to him is real, and he regards the sect as his home. Here are his friends, disciples, teachers, people who admire him, and people he once admired. This traditional-oriented mortal novel brought me back to the days when I read novels more than ten years ago. It was really good. Except the author updates too slowly.
This book is well written in the early stages. It describes the atmosphere of an ordinary cultivator with poor spiritual roots struggling between heaven and earth in a very unique and innovative way. It makes people feel that it is another masterpiece of Mortal Style. But as time went on and updates became unstable, the quality of the story continued to decline, to the point where it became useless. The author has not dealt with several points well. The first is that the protagonist's talent is very poor, but normal novels with loser protagonists will use cheats or adventures to make the protagonist constantly surpass the NPCs around him; however, this book does the opposite. The protagonist's spiritual progress is slow, and the gap between him and the woman he loves is getting wider and wider. The protagonist encounters far more troubles than miracles, and the readers have been urging them to give the protagonist better treatment and opportunities. The second is that although the emotional plots arranged for NPCs are relatively rare, they do not create any excitement. For example, although the protagonist's junior sister may have had a romantic relationship with the protagonist, she was later deceived by the scumbag and attached to the protagonist again, and the protagonist had to spend a lot of time to take care of her; for example, the protagonist's apprentice was unscrupulous and murdered his fellow disciples, but in the end, he successfully established his foundation safely. A female apprentice of the protagonist becomes a widow directly and has to live with her husband's murderer with her unborn child. These plots are really boring, and the depth is not well explored. It feels similar to the short and bitter love dramas on TV in the past. The third is the protracted, long and boring plot after arriving in the Northland. Although the plot is dense, there are very few climaxes and exciting moments. Even the plot in which the protagonist avenges his brother who was murdered by the casino was written in a sloppy way. The most speechless thing is that the protagonist finally created a wave of fun by trapping a villain NPC, and then came the endless long-term suspicion and persecution of the villain family. The protagonist has been hiding in the base camp like a mouse for many years. This villain family also believes that the protagonist is not the murderer, but just to vent their anger to others (the protagonist spent a while with the villain NPC before his death), they spent a lot of money on the protagonist for many years. There is even a confusing operation such as actively sending the protagonist to the secret realm for trial in the hope that someone can kill the protagonist in the secret realm. This plot is really illogical, but let alone this sick and twisted revenge mentality; the villain family can actually name important characters under their allies to participate in an extremely dangerous secret realm. The protagonist also knows that if he goes in, he will escape death and "for the sake of the clan" secondly, the people in this family have prepared props and bounties for tracking the protagonist, but in the end few people actually go to find the protagonist, only two or three people blindly kill the mouse; thirdly, whenever the protagonist is in danger, the monsters in the secret realm will always directly attack his enemies and leave him alone. These plot designs treat the protagonist as a fool, the NPCs as fools, and the readers as fools. What's even funnier is that after the protagonist comes out of the secret realm, the family still wants to continue to take revenge - making people wonder if the protagonist is some heinous devil who will drop genius treasures if he kills him. Guess what? In the end, I actually brought someone to curse the protagonist and almost succeeded. The protagonist faked his death and hid, then went to another place far away, continuing the routine of not returning to his hometown for many years, and his purpose was actually to make a family hundreds of thousands of miles away relax their vigilance? What's even funnier is that this sect doesn't protect the protagonist, doesn't help the protagonist deal with troubles, or communicate and mediate on his behalf. It just supports the protagonist in faking his death, and treats the protagonist's troubles as his personal grudge, completely ignoring the fact that the protagonist encountered such a tragic incident because he went to the north to work for the sect. I'm speechless. Looking at the intermittent updates, I guess the author himself is no longer passionate.
I have made a little fortune recently. In order to support the author, I will give you a reward on the fifth floor. Painting the building does not count! 🤓
The writing is so good. There is no bastard spirit or cheating. I practice diligently and sincerely. Principled, grateful, and upright, this is not only the world of immortality in the author's mind, but also the world of immortality that I yearn for. Not all subscriptions are enough to express my love for this book. Come on, author! I don't ask you to update quickly, I just hope that I can give everyone an ending and don't leave any regrets for myself! Come on Ichisuke! ! !
Just calm down and watch it slowly. The plainness is the real thing. If you speed up, you will fall into the cliche. There are so many adventures there. Just like the author writes, cultivation is a process of step by step. Sufficient spiritual energy is the foundation. If you practice too fast, you will become evil. The protagonist's physique is mediocre. What can you do without laying a good foundation? Personally, I prefer this kind of plain and fulfilling training. A little adventure, a step-by-step practice. To be honest, the protagonists in other immortality novels either have very good qualifications, or they have obtained artifacts, magic weapons, practice secrets and the like from the beginning to the end.
Personally, I think this book is currently divided into three stages. Chapter 1-100: It's very long-winded. In my opinion, the long-winded plot is a small problem. The big problem is that the writing is very long-winded. The plot is originally very flat, and the protagonist has an ordinary experience and an ordinary personality. Coupled with the long-windedness, it is estimated that most people will give up at this stage. I also gave up once at this stage. It can be seen that the poster is not a literary genius, and he is not very good at mathematics. Chapter 200-400: The writing is still quite long-winded, but after the previous foreshadowing, the plot begins to get better, and the protagonist's ordinary character begins to be fleshed out bit by bit. Personally, I feel that he is the most lovable male protagonist of a fairy tale I have ever seen. He is righteous, responsible, and neither self-righteous nor womanly. I picked it up and read it again. Although the author is also absorbing and borrowing some plots, for example, the heroine and the hero obviously imitate ordinary people when they first meet, the author unexpectedly keeps the rhythm steady and always controls his own rhythm while writing. I feel like a stable author. (By stable, I mean the plot, the author's updates are very unstable) Chapter 400-679: The writing is much better, but this is really not the author's strong point. There are also a few bad points, such as the heroine's engagement and so on. But the shortcomings do not hide the good points. I personally think that the three elements of the novel, characters, plot, and environment, are all very good. The male protagonist has a normal personality, supporting characters with various experiences, a stable and reasonable plot that is not overly exaggerated and cheating, and a world of cultivation where the road is ruthless and people are affectionate. But the author may not have much talent in writing, but he is very talented in writing novels. For me, this book is quite magical. I got into it somehow. When I came out, I found that I had reached the latest chapter. After thinking about the reason, I think it may be that the cultivators in this book are more flesh-and-blood than other cultivators. They are not "immortals" who do not eat the fireworks of the world, but are just "people" who hope for immortality. They eat and drink the same, and they do not annihilate family ties. There are no mysterious and mysterious insights, only bits and pieces of practice. These points may be in line with the preferences of a 36-year-old person. 😁😁 I have never written so many words to other authors to express my opinions. I sincerely hope that the author can persevere and not give up. As a reader who likes this book, I will do my best to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Come on
Qualification settings for this book
Qualification system of this book: Taoist talents with special qualities (such as wind spirit roots, thunder spirit roots and other special physiques, which will be introduced in detail later.); Single spirit roots are excellent; Double spirit roots are good; Three spiritual roots are average; Four spiritual roots are poor; Five spiritual roots are extremely poor Due to the limitations of heaven, it is difficult to break through the spiritual infant stage in this realm. In the setting of this book, advanced cultivation is extremely difficult. There are also not many cultivators in the golden elixir stage. They are all people with deep blessings. Therefore, Huang Shengzong is not a small sect. Thank you for your support! If you have any questions about the qualification system and sect system, please read the first thirty chapters. If you still have questions, please reply below. I will reply.
Famous scenes on Xuanchen Road
1. It is difficult to cultivate Taoism, but it is difficult to cultivate Taoism slowly Liu Yu will never forget the scene under the sunset. Ai Yuanmu moved down the mountain step by step with tears in his eyes. The walking was extremely difficult, and he fell down from time to time, feeling helpless and helpless. Supplement: Grandpa Liu Yu killed his best friend and his whole family for his grandson Liu Li told Liu Yu personally that he finally made a sneak attack on Xuan Jian in the mountains. After killing Xuan Jian, he was afraid that someone would pursue the matter and implicate Liu Yu, so he went deep into the house, not even sparing the children, and set fire to Xuan's mansion. 2. Harvest the Little Yellow Book and draw the talisman for the first time Liu Yu took out a green bamboo pen, blank talisman paper, and fine cinnabar and placed it on the table. He picked up the Little Yellow Book and after studying it carefully, he began to practice drawing talismans according to the patterns on it. 3. The sect mission was hacked Liu Yu hurriedly came to the resting area in Yijiao and found an empty table to sit down. His face was uneasy and he had an extremely bad premonition. After rolling out the task scroll, Liu Yu's brows slowly furrowed and his mouth went dry. Finally, he covered his face with his hands and rubbed them. His mind went blank. 4. Lao Bai enlightens and strengthens Taoism "Everything in the world will not be smooth sailing, and the same is true for the journey of cultivating Taoism. The road to immortality is rugged and bumpy. Don't worry about temporary gains and losses. Only by sticking to your heart and moving forward bravely can you expect the great road." Bai Yucheng saw Liu Yu showing a hint of anger. He thought he understood what he was going through, so he enlightened Tao. "Beiluan City is indeed a dangerous place, but danger is often accompanied by opportunities. The more dangerous it is, the greater the opportunity. Danger and opportunity are just a thought. During the journey of cultivating Taoism, one is most afraid of losing courage. Only those who have no hesitation can stand out." 5. Almost ended by Long Aotian "Yes, you eliminate harm for the people, you punish evil and promote good, but he is my eldest brother. If you kill him, you must pay with your life. You must pay with your life!" Li Chen walked back and forth as if trapped in a demonic barrier. He suddenly pulled out the "Golden Chi Armor-piercing Sword" from Liu Yu's body, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Liu Yu's heart and stabbed him angrily. Liu Yu was stepped on by Li Chenqi. The huge pain made him unable to move at all. He could only watch the golden sword stabbing him little by little, thinking in his heart: "Is it over?" 5. The first intimate contact As soon as Liu Yu came back to her senses, she immediately used her body skills to step forward and hug the falling Changsun Rong. Changsun Rong's silver gauze had already been blown away, revealing her world-famous face. When she saw Changsun Rong's slightly pale, slightly furrowed, and tragically beautiful face, Liu Yu was dumbfounded. 6. The master let Old Man Liu take the blame "Then, master, if I betroth Zhi'er to you, Yu'er, are you willing?" Tang Hao said directly with a straight face. 7. Xuanchen's first picnic She opened her eyes with a blushing face and glanced at Liu Yu who was sitting with her back. She tiptoed and picked up the bowl and chopsticks beside her. She saw huge red dates and snow-white lotus seeds floating on the porridge surface. She couldn't help but move her fingers. Then she blew the hot air and took a big sip. It was sweet and moist, sweet and delicious. She secretly praised the craftsmanship! "Thank you!" Changsun Rong slowly came to Liu Yu, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a shy face. "Senior, please eat some more!" Liu Yu said quickly as he watched Sun Rong turn to leave. Changsun Rong did not refuse this time, but turned around and sat down, taking the "Red Dates and Lotus Seed Porridge" handed over by Liu Yu. Looking at each other in silence, Changsun Rong drank it in small sips with an elegant manner. The two were very close to each other. The body fragrance wafting from Changsun Rong made Liu Yu's heart beat like numbness. She lowered her head and gulped down the porridge to hide her inner throbbing. "Your name is Liu Yu? Which Taoist disciple of Huang Shengzong are you?" Chang Sunrong ate some "venison", finished the second bowl of "red dates and lotus seed porridge", put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked. 8. Old Man Liu's admiration Liu Yu has been suppressing the love in her heart, because Liu Yu is very aware of the gap between them, as different as clouds and mud. She is already a great cultivator of the Nine Palaces of Foundation Establishment, and is about to break into the Golden Core Realm. However, she is only a disciple in the Qi Training Period, and it is still unknown whether she can establish the Foundation. As soon as I leave Beiluan City, late at night when no one is around, that beautiful shadow will appear from time to time. At this time, Liu Yu will warn herself not to have any wrong thoughts and not to want to eat the swan meat. This admiration was hidden deep in Liu Yu's heart, hoping that it would slowly dissipate from the bottom of her heart. But when Changsun Rong appeared in front of her again, Liu Yu knew that he could not do it at all. He could not forget her face under the silver gauze, and even her angry questions were like sounds of nature in Liu Yu's ears. 9. Liu Yu successfully built the foundation Liu Yu fell back to the ground from mid-air, his eyes suddenly opened, and two points of light suddenly appeared. Although the blood stains at the corners of his eyes and nostrils were still wet, Liu Yu could not hide his excitement at this time. He succeeded, successfully opened up the "Purple Mansion", the foundation of the avenue, and passed the first test of heaven. 10. Yue Yue Tian Yi "Uncle Master, take Master and leave quickly!" Seeing the thunder beads flying, Yue'er closed her eyes unconsciously. At this time, a figure crossed from behind and greeted him. It was Tian Yi. While gathering all the mana in front of him to form a "Lingyuan Shield", he asked Xuan Yue to take Liu Yu away first. "Tianyi, don't do it!" Seeing this, Xuan Yue's eyes filled with tears and she shouted loudly. "Ah! Ah!" The lightning flashed, and the thunder net that exploded instantly entangled Tianyi. The "Lingyuan Shield" died like a firefly under the violent thunder. Accompanied by a burst of painful screams, Tianyi turned into a ball of fire and fell downwards. This aura of annihilation and death indicates that the other party wants to self-explode the elixir and exchange life for life. This is a forbidden suicide technique "Elixir Burial" that only some practitioners will expend their energy to practice. "Yue'er!" Liu Yu looked at Xuan Yue's back with bleeding eyes, as if he had gone back to the scene when he took the little girl to Huangsheng Mountain for the first time. The little girl asked with twinkling eyes: "Master Liu, can Yue'er be named Liu?" "Hey!" Liu Yu sat at the stone table in the front hall of the cave, frowning, sighing deeply, and put down the tea cup in his hand. Although this "Tianshi Mantra·Tao Soul Heart Sutra" is ingenious and extremely mysterious, and can be practiced in the foundation stage, it still requires a lot of Taoist talent on the part of the cultivator. And Liu Yu is obviously not a person with outstanding Tianzi. He has been practicing this technique for nearly three years and has never been able to get started. 12. Bai Yucheng once again guided Liu Yu to stick to his true heart and move forward bravely "My nephew still remembers what Pindao said back then, the road to immortality is rugged, but if you stick to your true heart and move forward bravely, you can expect a great road. What is courage? What is your true heart? Do you know my nephew?" Seeing Liu Yu's expression on his face, he lowered his head and avoided his gaze, Bai Yucheng said. "Courage means courage. Not being afraid of hardships and working hard is called Xiaoyong. Not being afraid of life and death and moving forward indomitably is great courage." Liu Yu raised his head and replied instinctively. "That's right! Being unyielding to the hardships ahead and fearless of life and death can be called courage. However, this is the courage in the eyes of the world. They are all small courage. The courage of the great road lies in the heart. We stand on the heaven and the earth. We should act with no regrets, no regrets and no regrets. We come with magnanimity and leave with magnanimity." Bai Yucheng looked directly into Liu Yu's eyes and said. 13. Old man Liu felt inferior when he saw Luo Chen forming pills Liu Yu raised his glass and stood up. The "Fairy of Luohe" had arrived at their table. Her already pretty face, under the influence of fine wine, became even more impressive. But Liu Yu only glanced at it and quickly lowered his head. "Thank you fellow Taoists for coming to congratulate me!" Changsun Rong raised her glass and looked around. When she suddenly saw Liu Yu's figure, her eyes couldn't help but paused, but she moved away in a breath and greeted with a smile. "I wish the fairy good luck and prosperity!" Everyone at the table raised their glasses and said. Liu Yu drank it all in one gulp. The five-grade spiritual wine "Xue Yujing", which was originally fragrant and intoxicating and famous in Yunzhou, only left a bitter taste in his mouth. When the cup fell, the beauty had turned around. Fourteen. The junior sister was reborn At this moment, she was like a fish in water, free and unrestrained. Even the biting cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain was like a summer spring breeze, making her feel more comfortable. She couldn't help but open her hands and face the wind.
Celebrating the second update, I have been reading this book for almost 3 years.
I think the best thing about this novel is that it describes some trivial matters about cultivating immortality and the daily life of the protagonist. In today's fairy tales, what the protagonist does every day is to upgrade. It seems that the protagonist is like a robot who enjoys cultivation all day long. He has no life and emotions of his own, and he still calls it a firm heart. The protagonist's cultivation in this book was not always smooth sailing. He was robbed of treasures, beaten and fled, and also had sexual desires. I felt it was quite real. I often see people in the book review section saying why there are so many descriptions of which supporting character? The people you meet in life will definitely have meaning and follow-up? Although I also think this book is too slow and difficult to finish, it is still a breath of fresh air.
