There's nothing worth reading on Qidian anymore. All the decent books have been taken down. I don't want to spend a single cent there now. Even Reverend Insanity got censored to hell. I used to follow so many dark fantasy stories, and now what's even left?

Both are Liaozhai novels, but they're worlds apart. Congratulations to the author on the top recommendation! Mine also has the "Borrowing the Universe" technique.
Having read many martial arts and fantasy novels, I've noticed a real shift in trends. Traditional "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" isn't as popular anymore. Even with the same "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" theme and the "Qiankun Sword Technique," the system-based and fantasy-style fantasy novels are far more appealing. Of course, the author's writing is very mature and consistent. It's truly remarkable for a new author to achieve this; very impressive. Keep it up!
One click away from the book review
This book is good, but when I first discovered it, firstly, there was a post in the book review section, someone called "Uncle Nine," which misled me and discouraged me from reading it; I think that post should have been deleted. Secondly, the word count is rather short.
The protagonist's cheat concept
First, there's the issue of energy. Judging from the current situation, the protagonist's cheat ability is based on Deep Blue from Gun Kai's novels. Energy should be an essence like spirit, so can he extract the soul and refine the spirit of his enemies? If so, this kind of thing can easily bring disaster in a higher world.
I'm just reading and not saying anything, could you please mark this as a featured post?
The scene of the entire family being wiped out felt completely out of the blue; it was a typical example of an unnecessary and nonsensical plot device.
The protagonist discovering that his father raped another man's fiancée and that his mother killed him and the woman is a major plot hole; the massacre of his entire family is another; and yet another is that the protagonist initially vows revenge by killing Liu Mingdao and everyone involved in the murder of his family, but in the end, all he does is encounter and kill a centipede demon, and that's it.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I forcibly lowered my intelligence.
What a terrible novel! It's poisonous in every way: the book itself is toxic, the plot is toxic, the characters are toxic, the tropes are toxic, and the characters' intelligence is toxic. It's practically a quintessential poison!
When Lao Tzu saw that there was a mountain called Nanshan near the capital, and that over sixty bandits were killing people there, he abandoned the book. I don't know why. Can anyone tell me?
To be honest, Yan Chixia is a nobody in Liaozhai, yet he has the highest combat power. There are tons of monsters and spirits in the story, and there are even human immortals and martial immortals.
