Ancient Myths and Primordial Chaos
I got into the genre through prehistoric novels like Coiling Dragon, so I made this list for prehistoric fiction and ancient mythology. I'm aiming for completed books or ongoing ones that haven't been abandoned. If an author goes too long without updating, I'll remove the book so no one else gets caught up in it.

What kind of thinking led to this novel? In that primordial world, a minor character who hasn't even become an immortal acquires a treasure of merit, and instead of protecting himself, he gives it to his disciple who hasn't even started cultivating yet. And let's not even discuss whether taking on a disciple at this particular time is appropriate!
Those 24 investors really have good judgment. 😅
Character Building
Many characters are needed in the later stages of the Investiture of the Gods story, and in the stories that follow. Everyone is welcome to speak up.
In my personal opinion, in prehistoric fanfiction, if you transmigrate and aren't human, you can choose any master. However, if you are human, don't become a disciple of Tongtian. Why? Because most of the members of the Jie Sect are demons. If it were after the Investiture of the Gods, I wouldn't have a problem, because by then most of the demons in the Jie Sect would be on the Investiture of the Gods list or join Buddhism.
What I hate most about novels set in the prehistoric era is those that inexplicably start taking on disciples. What's the point of taking on disciples? To enlighten all beings? To leave behind a legacy in case they die? Or are they just doing it for fun because they're afraid of the loneliness of cultivation? Logically speaking, even if a genius comes knocking, they shouldn't be accepted if there's no affinity or connection.
Are cultivators in the primordial world really this arrogant these days? They can even steal the merit bestowed by the Great Dao?!
Merit can be stolen, so what's the point of having merit?
Having read some chapters, the author has already written over a thousand chapters—truly impressive! I won't know about the later plot until I read it, but let me talk about what I've read. First, it seems the Tongtian Sect Leader accepted a disciple simply because of a predestined connection, without any tests or anything. It's baffling. A saint is invincible?
A self-indulgent fantasy novel disguised as a prehistoric world
Truly a masterpiece, written by celestial beings; mortal minds cannot keep up! Unscrupulous Celestial Venerable!
