Mostly supernatural fiction, like fantasy and dark fairy tales. There are quite a few obscure novels here. I have pretty particular tastes, but I'll recommend books I think are well-written and better than average. I can be picky, so don't be surprised if I drop a book. The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
My Reading List 🔥
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into light entertainment, and I avoid romance and urban fiction, with a few exceptions. I dropped some of these books later on, but they still have something worth reading. I hope you find one that suits you.

Novels Worth Sharing, One After Another
Books I consider good reads or better. I'm not much of a writer myself, but I'm pretty good at reviewing books. I'm not usually one to brag, either.
A Garden of Herbs Starting With A
A personal list of books I've finished reading. Entirely subjective, emotional reviews, not impartial. If you disagree, you're right. My rating system: Top-tier: No fuss, just genuinely great. I reread these, and even if they have flaws, I tend to overlook them through rose-colored glasses (except for certain honorary top-tier picks, heh heh heh). Solid: Dependable reads. I'm eager to find out what happens next (I'm the type who likes to let chapters pile up and then binge-read). Passable: Somew

At least these aren't mindless stories. They're mostly male-oriented, with two female-oriented books. I've been reading web novels for a long time and have pretty eclectic tastes. I've forgotten some of the ones I've read, but I'll add them when I remember. I'll also add any new books I like.

"Zhuangzi·Talking about Swords"
In the past, King Wen of Zhao loved swords. The swordsmen held the door open for more than 3,000 guests, and attacked each other day and night, killing and wounding more than a hundred people. If this happens for three years, the country will decline. The princes planned it. The prince was worried about this, so he asked the people around him, saying: "Whoever can tell the king's will to stop the swordsman will be given a thousand gold coins." The left and right people said: "Zhuangzi can." The prince then asked people to offer thousands of gold coins to Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi couldn't accept it, so he went with the envoy to see the prince and said, "Why does the prince teach Zhou and give him a thousand gold?" The prince said: "I heard that Master is a wise man, and I would like to offer a thousand gold to the followers. Master cannot accept it. How can I dare to say anything?" Zhuangzi said: "I heard that the prince wanted to use Zhou, and he wanted to get rid of the king's preference. The envoys said that he was the king and went against the king's will. If he was not the prince, he would be sentenced to death. Is what Zhou Shang'an did gold? The envoys said that he was the king and he was the prince. Zhao Guo Why ask for it but not get it?" The prince said, "But the swordsman is what my king saw." Zhuangzi said, "No, Zhou Shan is a swordsman." The prince said, "But the swordsman is what my king sees." They all have shaggy hair, protruding temples, long tassels, short back clothes, angry eyes, and difficult words. The king said that if the master wears Confucianism and sees the king, things will go wrong. "Zhuangzi said, "Please cure the sword and wear it for three days, and then you will see the prince. The prince met the king, and the king took off his white sword and held it. Zhuangzi did not rush into the palace gate, and did not bow to the king when he saw him. The king said: "Why do you want to teach a few people and let the prince go first?" Said: "I heard that the king likes swords, so I met the king with a sword." The king said: "How can I restrain my sword?" Said: "The sword of my minister is one man at ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles." The king was delighted and said: "The world is invincible." Zhuangzi said: "If you are a sword, you should use it to show its weakness, open it to benefit, use it later to draw it, and get it first. I am willing to try it." The king said: "Master, if you are ready, I will give up and wait for orders, and I will set up a play to invite Master." Wang Nai schooled swordsmen for seven days. More than sixty people died, and five or six people were found. He sent swords to His Highness, and summoned Zhuangzi. The king said: "Today I will test Shidun's sword." Zhuangzi said: "I've been waiting for a long time!" The king said: "What is the length of the staff that I command?" He said: "Anything I can offer is acceptable. However, I have three swords, but only the king uses them. Please tell me first and then try them." The king said: "I would like to hear about the three swords." He said: "There are the swords of the emperor, the swords of the princes, and the swords of the common people." The king said: "What is the sword of the emperor like?" Said: "The sword of the emperor, take Yanxi Stone City It is the front, Qi Dai is the shock, Jinwei is the spine, Zhou and Song Dynasties are Tan, Han and Wei are the folder, it is wrapped with the four barbarians, wrapped with the four seasons, surrounded by the Bohai Sea, brought with Changshan, controlled by the five elements, discussed with punishment and virtue, opened with yin and yang, held with spring and summer, Traveling in autumn and winter. This sword is as straight as it can be, it can move without any obstacles, and it can move without any obstacles. Once this sword is used, the princes will be subdued. The emperor will obey him. "The sword of the princes is like this." King Wen suddenly lost his temper and said, "What is the sword of the princes like?" He said, "The sword of the princes has the sharp sword as its edge, the honest and upright person as its backbone, and the loyal and saintly person as its backbone. Use the hero Jie Shi as a clamp. This sword is straight and has no front, it is lifted with no top, and it has no lower position. It has no side. To bring peace to the four villages. When the sword is used, it is like a thunderbolt, and everyone in the four realms obeys the king's orders. The king said: "What is the sword of a common man?" Br> Said: "The common man's sword has a shaggy head and protruding temples, a hanging crown, a manly tassel, and short back clothes. It is difficult to speak when you close your eyes. Strike each other in front, cut off the neck and collar at the top, and kill the liver and lungs at the bottom. This common man's sword is no different from a cockfight. Once it is dead, it has no use for state affairs. Now that the king has the position of emperor, he likes the common man's sword. I steal it for the sake of the king." The king led him up to the palace, slaughtered the people and served them to eat, and the king ring them three times. Zhuangzi said: "Your Majesty, sit down and calm down, the sword work has been completed!" So King Wen did not leave the palace for three months, and all the swordsmen were killed.
This book is really much better than the one next door by Lan Ke, but it just didn't catch on. Lan Ke couldn't stand it anymore and gave it up.
The author has let himself go, and by the time Li Jianbai began to have more and more stream of consciousness, he remembered the feeling of Emei Patriarch after he became Taiping. I don't understand, I don't understand, why are the people in the book all understanding kings, but when I look at it from God's perspective, it's all cloudy.
I have a very weird feeling about this book now. It's the Tao of Zhuangzi. The sword is used vertically and horizontally. It talks about Han Feizi's method. Finally, what I insist on is Confucian benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. This swordsman is really weird.
After reading Chapter 20, I feel very strange. Arsenic or rain? The setting and writing style of this book are extremely amazing, but when I read it, I felt like it was a confusing mess.
Please give me a boost of cum. Anyone who wants to cum can come here.
The author's new book "The Great Ming Dynasty"
It feels a bit pretentious and forced to drop the book bag, but it's still manageable. At least it's much better than "The Knife Cage".
After reading the first few dozen chapters, I found the writing to be quite good, but there are two things I can't accept. One is that I always use some very funny words or jokes that don't match the style of the full text. The other is to download a copy. But the writing is indeed quite interesting. It's a bit of a pity that I can't stand it for personal reasons.
