Reading Drought Relief Station
[Pinned] My reviews are too vague or focus too much on the early parts of a book, and they’re not very well written! If you’d like me to revise a review, leave a comment. I really will replace or edit it if needed, no empty flattery! I’ve been reading web novels for 16 years, and I’m so tired of mindless garbage. Books that are already popular don’t need me to recommend them. I mostly recommend niche stories, and hope they won’t be overlooked! My main interests are historical and urban fiction,

Hidden Gems for a Light, Fun Read! Why Not Follow? (^▽^)~
I've been reading for over a decade. The first novel I read was probably Journey to the West. I was thrilled back then when I read Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Later, I dug through old books to find wuxia novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Huang Yi, and Wen Rui'an. And even The Legend of the Swordsmen of the Shu Mountains by Huanzhu Louzhu. After that, there was no turning back. I started reading web novels around 2003. I remember starting with Jade Dynasty. A

Dreams of a Fleeting Life
These are mostly books whose stories I personally think are great, whether I’m currently following them or have already read them. No harems or wish-fulfillment, and nothing brainless or dumbed down. To me, every novel is a grand dream in this fleeting life. Isn’t it more fun when the dream is beautiful and exciting?

I started reading novels in 1996, so it's been over twenty years now. I think I have a decent eye for books, so I'll recommend anything that catches my fancy. Hope you enjoy them 😊 I generally don't recommend very old or famous books, since that doesn't help veteran readers find something new.
Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too.

Books I've Read
Keeping a record
New Releases to Sample: No Novel Is Pure Poison or Pure Filler, with Recommended Audiences
I like concise novels that leave you thinking after you finish them, but there aren't many like that online, so this list mostly features new books. Older books and works by big-name authors tend to start strong and fizzle out, with lots of padding in the middle and later chapters. The writing gets long-winded and dull, and after a while it's hard to stay awake, let alone keep reading. So I generally don't recommend them.
Books I Enjoy Reading
These are books I'm following. If I think they're good, I'll add them here. Of course, there are lots of great books I haven't included. I'll just let them settle quietly in my heart. My preferences: no female leads, dark stories, xianxia, Lovecraftian horror Haha, if I find a good book, I'll add it. I've personally put all of these to the test.

Some people think that Mr. Fu is gentle and kind-hearted and not like a real demon. In fact, his realm is already very high.
As long as the hoe dances well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Look at how many corners of Emei the old devil Tianyun has poached. Jade Rakshasa Chen Yufeng (Master Yuqing), female disaster god Deng Bagu, Nanhai twin boys Zhengen Zhendui, Qianlai in the city that never sleeps, Qi Jinchan (Qi Chengji), Shi Sheng, Zhu Wen (Wen Jin), Qin Ziling and Qin Hancalyx.
I don't know why some people are so entangled in the plot of the protagonist killing the master, for the sake of the younger brother? It is true that humans are not as ruthless as grass and trees. The little junior brother who teaches you step by step is much more approachable than the master who kills people at every turn. But is it all for the sake of my junior brother? Not really. Today, this master can use his younger brother to refine his soul, but tomorrow he might have to eat the protagonist's blood to extend his life. No one can bear to stay with a man-eating tiger every day! The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, everything harms its own kind, and the tiger's enemy happens to be here again. If you don't run away with your junior brother at this time, should you still fight for the tiger? The protagonist has worked under that master for so many years. Are there not many brothers who died and had their souls swallowed by the master if they failed? This kind of insecurity keeps accumulating in the protagonist's heart. Previously, the protagonist's master used to extract the souls of his disciples to refine them, and at least there were reasons for the brothers to make mistakes, so he gave the protagonist a weak sense of security that as long as I didn't make mistakes, nothing would happen. But this time, the younger brother didn't make any mistakes at all. Because he suddenly found that nothing could restrain the beast that was his master. His master uses his apprentices as tools and consumables as materials for refining treasures. Not to mention the protagonist as a modern person, even those in ancient times, unless they are the kind of people who are brainwashed by loyalty and integrity, they must run away. Moreover, the protagonist just wants to run away at the beginning, and has no intention of doing so. He killed his master. Later, his master struggled against him. He was seriously injured by the enemy and still dared to jump around. The protagonist killed the master in order to save his life. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with this plot. What kind of virginity did the protagonist have?
The finale, looking forward to the new book❤
When I got up early in the morning, I opened the starting point to see if there was any update to Shushan Demon Gate. I was ecstatic to see that one chapter had been updated, but I was a little disappointed to see the finale in parentheses. It took me nearly 25 minutes to read the last chapter, literally word for word, for fear that it would be gone in the next second. In fact, when I posted before, I also said that it doesn't matter if the author writes slower, the key is to write well (I feel so reluctant to let it go, but in fact, it would be better if it is a little more watery 🥺). After reading the last chapter, I have a lot to say in my heart, but when it comes to my mouth, I seem to be holding back. Let me tell you some of my thoughts after reading the last chapter. 1. The purpose of the final formation of Ten Thousand Buddhas is to use Buddha to refine demons, and also to use demons to refine Buddha. People in the Buddha and Demon Path who have wisdom in their hearts and have a predestined relationship with the Buddha will all take refuge in me, the Buddha, and be reborn in bliss; while the remaining people will sink into the human world and cannot escape, which is exactly what happened in the preceding ten thousand years when no one ascended. 2. Fu Lao Mo Fu Lao Mo, he is a Buddha or a demon. Zen Master Tianmeng told Xie Shan that Fu Zeyang was the real Buddha. Then Xie Shan asked him for advice and immediately realized his enlightenment. Bo Xun infected everyone with magic, and Fu Zeyang showed his body and statue to save everyone. Therefore, Fu Zeyang's Dharma is profound and beyond the reach of ordinary people. Zhen Zhen'er is a living Buddha in the world. But it was Fu Zeyang's fault that all Buddhists in the human world would perish for eternity. The Buddhists and Taoists who were trying to balance the demons left this world, leaving the demon sect to dominate, so he was the biggest demon. There is a feeling like Schrödinger's Fu Zeyang. 3. No wonder people in Buddhism still harbor grudges even if they understand the truth. Reincarnating in the world for several lives, working hard to accumulate merits in the hope that the flowers will bloom and see the Buddha, but it is not as good as Xinchenzi and others who suddenly realize the bliss of rebirth. It is really much more difficult to practice the truth than to understand it. 4. As I was writing, I suddenly felt something. Why did Zen Master Tianmeng defeat the old demon of Tiecheng Mountain? It was because in his heart there were no more demons in this world, they were all Buddhas. Even Fu Zeyang called him the true Buddha. 5. I always feel that if the devil is alive, the world will eventually be destroyed? In fact, this is not the case. As long as you have greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate, and evil in your heart, there will always be a trace of demonic nature. We don't have to worry about what Fu Zeyang will do to the people at the bottom of society, because he is a real big devil, not a little devil infected with murderous desire, and there are still righteous ways and evil ways in society. I don't know, Xie Shan's two daughters vowed to wipe out all the demons, kill all the villains and protect the weak, but they are still demons, and the book also gives some explanations. If you don't see clearly the three defilements of greed, anger, and ignorance, you will sink forever. The book is over, and there are still stories in this world, such as the two daughters of Xie Shan that I just mentioned, and how Fu Zeyang's sister treated his brother when she returned from the Western Paradise ten thousand years later, and how Fu Laomo used his sister's body to fight against the Western Buddhas (is there a second part?). I have read a lot of Shushan and books similar to Shushan, and I especially like the Shushan fan genre. This book left a deep impression on me. There was also a book called The Master of Wutai that was also very exciting but lacked the final fragment of ideological sublimation like this book, which is a bit regretful. I hope the author will continue to work hard and create better works in the future?
Recently, the update time is not as fixed as before. I feel empty and there are more typos than before. I suggest the author take a few days to rest and calm down.
Wow, Ah Zi has published a new book, and it's also a blood-stained book. I support Ah Zi, come on!

I will focus on writing about people in this book. In order to avoid any regrets in the future, please tell me the character you hate the most.

When immortality seems so far away and elusive, the power brought by cultivation has gradually become the goal of many people. ——Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian" I don't know since when, the fairy tales and cultivation novels on the Internet have lost all their fairy spirit. Everything you see is fighting and killing. Everyone is fighting for the resources to practice, killing people, grabbing treasures, and competing for fame and wealth. There is no Taoist attitude of doing nothing. His eyes were full of venom, which simply insulted the word "Xian Xia". To explain this matter is very simple, two words: "make money". Generally speaking, readers prefer stories about fighting for resources and fighting to the death. Of course, this explanation is very general, so let's analyze it in detail below. The current online fairy tale novels are derived from martial arts. This is undisputed. The earliest martial arts novels can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, such as "Nie Yinniang", "The Bearded Guest", "The Red Whisper Girl", "Kunlun Slave" and so on. After the transition between the Song and Yuan dynasties, "Water Margin" appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Yes, "Water Margin" can actually be regarded as a martial arts novel. After this, "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" appeared in the Qing Dynasty, which was a new peak of this type of novel. During the Republic of China, "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" can be regarded as the originator of fairy novels. In this book, the pinnacle of martial arts people is to become immortals. Following the next few are these modern martial arts novels and fairy tale cultivation novels on the Internet. At this time, a large number of cliques of forming gangs and killing people to seize treasures began to appear in fairy tales. If you think about it carefully, the source of these routines should be from classical novels about monsters fighting and killing like "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West". For example, "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" is the product of absorbing classical novels such as "Fengshen" and "Journey to the West". So from the perspective of this development process, the essence of this type of novels is fighting, but it has gradually evolved from mortal fights to immortal fights. Among them, the plots of killing people to seize treasures and slapping people in the face to show off can also be said to be of the same origin. Looking at these popular fairy novels, the general setting is that cultivation requires resources, and resources are limited. Only those who obtain the most resources have the best chance of becoming immortals. Many novels have more extreme settings, such as all resources must be snatched, only one person among all people at the same time can become an immortal, etc., So the characters in the book can only fight to the death. Then the question is, is the only way to go in fairy tales and cultivation novels is to fight and kill? What about the pretty lady in plain clothes, the celestial spirit, the tranquility and inaction, and the aloofness of the world? Are these elements all lies? For the author personally, an immortal should be someone who has jumped out of the Three Realms, is not in the Five Elements, and is free from the disputes in the world; a chivalrous person should be a chivalrous and righteous person who can draw his sword to help when there is injustice. Immortal style and Taoist bones, plain face and calm mind, being unfazed by favors and humiliations, and understanding the great ways of heaven and earth are what I think of cultivating immortality. In fact, part of the cultivation of immortality advocated by Taoism and Taoism is to escape from the world and seek Taoism and seek immortality, and the other part is to help the world and promote righteousness. In short, there is absolutely no way to become an immortal by killing people at will. Personally, if you want to become an immortal, you must at least be a bad person, right? In traditional concepts, fairy is a very noble thing, a very bright and positive image. If you say that you do all kinds of evil, kill people and seize treasures, make trouble over nothing, and have endless desires, if such people can become immortals, I really want to ask you if you stuffed red envelopes through the back door, or is God blind? Going back to the topic, another reason why there is no immortality in the fairy tales is that the practitioners in these novels lack real spiritual pursuits. They do not take spiritual pursuits as their fundamental purpose. Whether it is the pursuit of "the great road", the "freedom" in myths, or the heart of "the common people", it is essentially a spiritual pursuit, a sublimation of the spirit and the detachment of the mind. For example, there is a saying on the Internet that Mr. Yuan Longping's research on hybrid rice has brought countless merits to a living person. In ancient times, it was definitely a person who had countless incense and great merits and could directly become an immortal. And if it is true that Yuan Longping became an immortal, then he should have become an immortal because of his simple and unconventional pursuit. Wealth? That power? Fame? These are not his pursuits. He just has a simple and lofty ideal. Only that kind of extraordinary pursuit can give people a sense of transcendence and shock. And if the so-called immortals are like those in online novels who are obsessed with wealth, fame and power, and are only satisfied with various external material desires, then I think they are not worthy of being called immortals at this level. They are just human beings like us. But the fist is a little bigger? That's all. In my opinion, a true cultivator should also have the temperament of a thinker. They should have their own understanding and views of the world, a clear understanding and positioning of themselves, and their pursuits should be higher. A true monk will not care about the gain or loss of power, just like a true gentleman in ancient times will not only think about being an official to gain benefits for himself, even if he becomes an official, it is to realize his ideals and ambitions. The power that practitioners gain during the process of cultivating immortals should be their additional attributes, just something incidental. The practitioners in the Internet articles have a feeling of putting aside the basics and chasing the weak. They do not pursue the spiritual realm as their fundamental pursuit, but instead target material wealth, because with power they can show off their power, kill people, and show off and slap people in the face. That's why they appear so "vulgar". If you don't get rid of this "tackiness", no matter how many words you use to describe how celestial they are on the outside, it's impossible to have any celestial spirit. The firm determination and will without regrets in order to pursue the end of seeking the Tao is immortality. The great freedom and freedom after attaining the Tao is also immortality. The merits of saving the world are still immortality. Therefore, I think immortality should be a state of mind, not the kind of self-centeredness that relies on self-power to be the best in the world. Because even if you can dismantle a Gundam with your bare hands and kill a girl with your arms in your arms, you might just be a fool. The sudden enlightenment when the great road is discovered, the clarity of mind, the leap and sublimation of the soul... Only novels that can describe this mental state and the spiritual pursuit mentioned above can be called immortal. At the beginning of the article, the author mentioned that the main reason why current Xianxia novels are full of violence is two words: "making money". Readers like stories with ups and downs, and authors have no choice but to write such stories in order to satisfy the market. Of course, there may also be a reason why it is too difficult to write a multi-million-word story about punishing evil and promoting good deeds, and not many authors can achieve this skill. So should the blame for the novel's hostility be thrown to the readers? No, it is actually the world that is wrong. There is a saying that through the artistic works of an era, one can understand the background of that era and even the overall ideological situation at that time. And in reality, the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest, doesn't it correspond to the murder and treasure grabbing for resources in the novel? Don't the money, power, etc. In reality also correspond to the wealthy couple in Xianxia novels? Isn't social status and the like similar to the hierarchical classification in the spiritual world? Therefore, novels are a portrayal of reality, and these online novels reflect the current secular values. There are no immortals in this world. Speaking of which, who knows what counts as cultivating immortals? Maybe even the pursuit of "immortality" is just a fiction. (Text/Hei Bu Zi) The article reproduced from the Internet is very consistent with my wishes. Cultivation and immortality should not just be about becoming a mortal who will have a long life and become powerful like an immortal. These are not immortals, just powerful mortals. I am very happy to see a book like "Shushan Demon Sect Authentic" that is different from the current trend of "cultivating immortals". The setting in the book puts Taoism first and magic power second, which is great. Without sufficient resources, such a thing can happen. Buddhas have the appearance of Buddhas, immortals have the appearance of immortals, and demons have the behavior of demons. Most of the people still hanging out in Shushan are just mortals who are heading towards the realm of Buddha/immortal/demon.
