A Place for Fantasy
For a work to count as fantasy, in the narrow sense of the term, it needs a complete world of its own. Stories that grow out of such a world are what we call fantasy. The first category is mainstream fantasy, or epic fantasy. Often compared with sword-and-sorcery fantasy, it focuses on grander themes and broader plots. Rather than individual adventures, it deals with political struggles, wars between nations, and the fate of the world. Works in this category tend to be meticulously written and r
Clever Protagonists Who Don't Get Carried Away
I update this list purely according to my own tastes ╭(╯ε╰)╮ Finished novels, new promising ones, abandoned ones: if I like it, I'll add it. No major plot holes, no cuckolding the male lead, no stale old formulas, no melodrama, no forced redemption for villains, no torturing the protagonist, no female leads who cause trouble for the protagonist for no reason, and no talking Systems. (Reviews omitted to pass moderation.) (I used to write long reviews, but something about them kept getting them

A Traveler in the World of Anime
I've been reading for over a decade and I'm sick of every kind of book. Whatever I read now just feels off, riddled with plot holes and mistakes, completely unoriginal and full of the same old clichés.

Top Picks
A collection of all kinds of great books. If you're out of things to read, give them a look.
Lawful Darkness (Pure Darkness Welcome)
Mainly recommend promising new works. Five stars is the highest. The genres are all over the place. Note: Four-star dry grass is better than three-star decent fare. It just counts as dry grass within its own star rating. A little thirst-quenching → crackers → dry grass → decent fare → immortal herbs Ratings aren't fixed. They depend on how the author performs later on.

It's a fantastic novel, and I'm reading it for the second time. However, when I reread the part where the protagonist is training as a bloodline knight and the family knight touches all 33 of his vertebrae, I have to say something: Humans do have 33 vertebrae, but only 24 can be felt on the back. The remaining 9 can only be felt by reaching between the vertebrae—the image is just too vivid…
This is utterly toxic, beyond words. Why doesn't the protagonist expose his stepmother and wait to be secretly killed before complaining to the King of Hell? The Earl dotes on the protagonist, and when he suddenly wakes up severely injured, a clueless, good-for-nothing complains that someone pushed him down the stairs—wouldn't the Earl investigate?
This is trash. The protagonist's own people are bullied and tortured like pigs and dogs. The protagonist is clearly powerful, but he only managed to shock the other side once before telling them to get lost. I can understand it once, but it happens every time. What kind of trash book is this author writing?
Is the protagonist a normal man? Or is he the kind of eunuch who only wants power and nothing else?
How did the Franklin family, without even a noble title, manage to build such a large business within the kingdom's sphere of influence? A merchant family fighting against powerful nobles is a pipe dream. And they even want to obtain a title and enter politics?! They don't even have core political connections; how can a merchant family possibly fight against powerful nobles?
Is this for real? The protagonist could have spoken to the Earl; at least then there would have been some caution. What if the Countess cursed the Earl? If the Earl died, would the protagonist be capable of inheriting the title? It would have been easy to create an accident and kill the protagonist! It's utterly idiotic!
Seriously, does the author of this book like to contradict himself? He said spirits are extremely rare, yet two or three appear within just a few chapters. He said the protagonist's father values him highly, but his father's trusted knight forces the protagonist to practice a breathing technique he considers "inevitable death," claiming it will "bring back glory"? Is this a trusted knight?
The origin of the protagonist's time-traveling ability feels far-fetched. The fact that a demon marks its servants and livestock with the ability to travel to other worlds is too much! If demons are that powerful, the ability to travel between different worlds alone would make them extremely powerful, so why would they even bother with someone like the protagonist who hasn't even reached the level of a superhuman!
This is the rant/criticism section. Feel free to share your opinions, suggestions, and complaints about this book here.
Inheriting the glorious tradition of the previous book, I hope you will not show me any mercy and will lash out at me as much as you like!
It's knight to wizard transition again, how annoying! Every wizard has to go through this process, just like in fantasy novels where you learn martial arts first and then magic. Are you kidding me?
