A Reading List for Readers Out of Books: Primordial Chaos and Mythology
History, fantasy, and mythology: books I've been following
Seeking the Dao in the Azure Heavens: Birth, Abiding, Decay, and Emptiness
When chaos first broke, the primordial world was born. The Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West brought trial upon trial. Though the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation fell, the true spirits endured, seeking the Dao through the cycles of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness.
Imperial Ambitions
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will die. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains, a scene of grandeur: how many heroes have come and gone? Thrones are built on bones, imperial roads on yellow sand. The history books record them all in a few simple strokes. Three Kingdoms: Empire of the Realm, by Xiaoxiao Majia No. 1 Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Warriors, by Baiyin Longma
Decent Enough to Read
These are books I've read and thought were pretty good. I don't like stories that try too hard to look cool. Substance matters, and the plot has to make sense. The author matters too, of course. I'm in a reading slump lately. If you've come across any good books, please recommend them. Thanks! So many books on the charts lately are comedy stories full of silly characters, or shallow wish-fulfillment tales about leveling up and fighting monsters. Even the xianxia stories I love have mostly turned
A Thousand Years Sailing the Sea of Books
Only recommending books with steady updates, sound logic, and fresh takes on familiar tropes.
Old Xi's Hundred-Book Treasure House
I only recommend books I like and am currently following. There are different genres, but the quality has to be good. Comments are welcome, and please follow 🌸 I’ve gotten lazy, so now I only recommend books!!! 1. There’s limited space on the list, so the titles below have been removed. Reasons include censorship, abandonment, too much filler, or simply losing interest after a long time 😄 2. Removed: Game: Four Billion Years, Selling the Future, The Black Card, The Underworld Returns to the Huma

The protagonist's soul and body have completely reversed their innate limits, yet his lifespan of only 125 years is far too short! Even those who don't cultivate can live for over a hundred years!
Actually, it would be even better if you detailed the main character down to how many times they urinate and fart each day!
"In the blink of an eye, it was the 5,847th year of Emperor Yi's reign." There's really no concept of time here, so... "In the blink of an eye, 200 years have passed." "In the blink of an eye, Chen Qingxiang turned 50." "In the blink of an eye, 100 years have passed since Chen Qingxiang transmigrated here."
This book has a very complex power system, with things like Quasi-Celestial Venerables, Sub-Celestial Venerables, and Lesser Celestial Venerables. Only the author, Awesome, could pull it off.
I'm creating a rant thread where everyone can post their opinions on the book. It will be featured and won't be deleted. As for rants posted outside this thread, they will be deleted depending on the situation.
There's too little dialogue; it feels dry, emotionless, and tasteless. There's not much description of the characters; you only vaguely know whether they're male or female, and what their identities are, like scarecrows with labels on them. The story's background and development were somewhat appealing to me, and the classical style it evoked also captivated me.
Cultivation novels should absolutely avoid romance, and fantasy novels should avoid it even more.
Cultivation novels should absolutely avoid romance, and fantasy novels should avoid it even more. (The protagonist of this book is a king; it's necessary for the plot, so it's allowed, but not excessively.) Your foundation is no less than yours; you should devote yourself wholeheartedly to cultivation. You're distracted.
This is an extremely padded piece of writing, filled with repetitive phrases and explanations. Zhang Ziyi is doing it all over again—a complete waste.
The plot holes are too big; the book completely fell apart towards the end. 😅
The previous text kept praising the human race for its greatness, mentioning the two Daoist eras and so on. But then, first, the 72 vassal states of the North Sea were corrupted by demons, which accounts for 9% of the human race's 800 kingdoms; then, Emperor Xin, whose status was second only to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, was corrupted by demons in no time. The text is too disjointed.
