Brilliantly Written, but Abandoned at the Worst Possible Moment
Excellent writing · abandoned · an unresolved heartbreak
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

Time and again, I find myself captivated by elegant writing, stunned by twists and turns in the plot, and unable to put the book down. The characters in Lao Bai's books always give us plenty to reflect on and bring us fresh, unforgettable feelings.

Looks good
Rational, Disciplined, Decisive
I’ve been reading web novels for 13 years. I like protagonists who are somewhat selfish and rational. If you enjoy one book on this list, don’t miss the others of the same type.
New Finds, Worth a Closer Look!
The books on my shelf all feature protagonists with normal intelligence. I don’t read books with limitless power-ups or no logic! Of course, some books are a lot of fun, but a story’s worldbuilding and power system shouldn’t be a mess. You won’t find books where the protagonist thinks he can take on the whole world just because he’s powerful. That keeps the world from feeling fake and makes the story more compelling. If you pass by and enjoy my recommendations, please give them a like and follow

It's fantastic, but I can never get enough of it. What do you guys think? Should we send the author razor blades or a whole razor? 🤫🤫🤫
I read the synopsis ╰_╯ Why do you just spout off like that?! I'm determined to follow him.
I really like this writing style; it has a subtle, understated feel, yet the descriptions are very well done. It's neither too plain nor pretentious or showy. While the plot has just begun, it already shows its unique and fresh aspects. However, I felt a little uncomfortable with the early conflicts; after all, they're family, and this felt a bit excessive (although I can't think of any suggestions).
The protagonist's character development this time is quite original. The scene where he imitates the essence of Jiang Taichuan's handwriting is very interesting. The protagonist does this to flatter and increase his popularity, and the key is that this mentality fits the character perfectly.
This book is a bit long-winded, and the protagonist's actions are also slow and hesitant. He's indecisive, looking back and forth, and dragging his feet. Where is the perseverance and determination of a martial arts practitioner who overcomes all obstacles and difficulties with a single sword strike? I think if he didn't have a cheat code, anyone would be more talented than him.
The way Madam He took her poison at the beginning is really baffling. Is this some kind of forced cruelty to the protagonist?
I managed to read a few dozen more chapters, and to sum it up, it's still the same old formula: the whole world is against the protagonist, and then the protagonist gets slapped in the face. The protagonist is a poor relative who came to seek refuge with the He family but failed.
It's a historical palace intrigue novel disguised as a fantasy novel, which is somewhat innovative. However, it lacks any real ethereal quality; instead, it focuses on mundane life, the pursuit of fame and fortune, and stretches out for dozens of chapters. I've always had a question: why would a modern person who travels back in time be so engrossed in the past's scientific expeditions, aristocratic families, social hierarchy, and imperial harem?
The writing is decent, but the protagonist's personality is too strange. He's a busybody who's always meddling in other people's business, has a maidservant as a burden, is dismissive of his relatives, yet shows mercy to those who want to kill him. The whole story is unpleasant to read; the plot is too clichéd and the author seems to rely on idiocy.
I've finished writing about swords and knives, what should I call my next book? How about "Halberd Overlord"? (-O-)/
The genre of fantasy has been ruined by some people; in recent years, all sorts of other works, like Journey to the West and A Chinese Ghost Story, have emerged. There are very few orthodox Xianxia novels. Keep it up, Xiao Jun, I'll continue to follow your work.
