Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.
Recommended by a Veteran Reader, Not for Beginners!
Recommended classics. I started reading novels at fifteen, and I'm forty-two this year, so that's nearly twenty-four years! From the Four Great Classical Novels to Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an, from bookstores to web fiction... Reading is not just a pleasure; it also takes thought. Online novels are becoming increasingly childish and vulgar, and there are fewer and fewer classics... There are more and more garbage System stories!

These are books I've enjoyed myself or that other people have recommended. I'll give extra credit to classics like Douluo Dalu and Battle Through the Heavens. Gold: legendary gems, the best of the best Purple: rare finds, excellent reads Blue: quality books, worth reading when you're out of options Green I'm pretty lazy, so lots of books don't have short reviews. For some, I'll pick out a great review written by an experienced reader. Everyone has their own favorite books. I like novels with str

A brief reflection on the completion of The Great Way
Looking back on this story I've followed for almost three years, I still love it so much. The Great Dao Ascends to Heaven is actually a very romantic story. Immortality, gods, an inverted ocean, arrayed spaceships, a blazing star, a shattered moon, the fall of civilization… these are all grand, poetic imaginings.
The Great Way Towards Heaven Thoughts on reading Chapter 4 of Volume 7 Respectfully bidding farewell to Jianlu.
A young man emerged from Lelang County. He was led by his master's hand. He was innocent yet uneasy. He dared not look at the scenery between the peaks. Thus, he became the senior disciple. He loved playing mahjong with his master, uncles, and fellow disciples. But he was the worst player at the table.
The author is too narcissistic, constantly revealing his sense of superiority as a thinker, and the traces of his attempt to indoctrinate are too obvious. As a fantasy novel, it's unsuitable for too much pretentious reasoning, and it completely lacks and cannot possibly have any necessary logic. In the end, the entire novel becomes a self-talking rambling dream... I skipped through it all, and now I feel like... Vomiting.
From "The Vanished One," I'd like to share some of my thoughts and speculations.
The Book of Changes states, "The Great Way is fifty, Heaven extends to forty-nine, and man hides one." This means that there are fifty laws governing the operation and development of things in the universe, but only forty-nine can be derived, and the one that is hidden is the secret of Heaven.
A Brief Discussion of the "Neurotic Trilogy"—Inheritance and Reflection
When writing *The Interloper*, Lao Mao (Old Cat) already stated that he wanted to write a series, a "Neurotic Trilogy," encompassing immersion, detachment, and absentmindedness. From *Joy of Life*, a political intrigue disguised as time travel, to *The Interloper*, a martial arts story cloaked in mecha science fiction, and now to *The Great Dao*, a science fiction philosophical work cloaked in…
I thought a book by such a renowned author must be a masterpiece, and it certainly is. I don't know why, but the writing felt so affected, reminding me of some ancient-style female-oriented novels I read more than ten years ago—deliberate, pretentious, and indulging in a strange kind of self-indulgence… It's not that this book is bad; it's quite good. After all, the author is a master.
Clouds gather and disperse, mistakes and missed opportunities, I would sit in solitude for ten thousand years under the starlight.
I thought you had abandoned me. I responded to the world with stubborn indifference. When I realized that I was the one being protected... The ebb and flow of life in the mundane world, with its red oil and white soup. The devastation of blizzards in the polar ice seas, These are all part of my desolate heart. Willing to endure the hottest and most scorching torment.
Beyond the mountains and the sea, there lives an old cat! His updates depend on his mood, his ability to cut chapters short is his skill. Through constant effort and clever thinking, he's dug a whole bunch of plot holes! Attracting countless fans, yet he never fills them in! Oh! Lovely old cat~ cat~ cat~~ (echo) Oh! Hateful old cat~ cat~ cat~~
An Investigation into the Reasons for Jing Jiu's Weariness
In Volume 5, Chapter 66, after the battle in the Western Sea, Jing Jiu did not feel disheartened and had the idea of leaving Qingshan. In the new chapter, however, Jing Jiu feels weary and decides that he might as well leave Qingshan. The key to Jing Jiu's transformation lay in his conversation with Liu Ci.
Taiping did much for the Chaotian Continent; he was once a saint, but later his "ideology upgraded," transforming him into an extremely terrifying being. He remains the same, but his role in the human world has been overturned. In fact, madness has always been one of Taiping's key attributes. Taiping believes he loves this world, but for many, many people, Taiping's love is a form of terror.
