Only Immortal Heroes, Fantasy, and Supernatural Stories: High-Quality Picks

If you like fantasy, xianxia, or stories about the supernatural, come on in. These are all high-quality gems, and they definitely won't waste your time. Feel free to recommend novels you enjoy in the comments so we can share with each other. Ten stars is a perfect score; nine stars means epic, and these two ratings are for masterpieces. Eight stars means amazing, seven means good. Six is decent and worth a try; five is average, but worth a look if you're out of books. I won't recommend anything

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

Completed Books I've Read, for Avoiding Pitfalls and Curing Reading Slumps

I've read all the novels on this list. First, I'll share my personal impressions of each one. Then I'll do my best to point out its potential pitfalls. Everyone has different deal-breakers, so I might miss some, and you might find these issues perfectly acceptable. Or maybe you'll be grateful I tested the waters for you. That's good too XD

Some are well written but too few people know about them. It would be a shame if they were overlooked! If you come across this list, please follow it and help me make it better. Thank you!

My Personal Cultivation Gems

They're all hidden gems. A special callout: Over the past couple of years, I've tried a number of authors whose work has had a certain corporate feel. I'm keeping a record of them here as a marker: Fen Tu Huang Cao, Qi Pei Jia, Lao Ying Chi Xiao Ji, Qing Shan Qu Zui, Hui Shuo Hua De Zhou Zi, Zhai Zhu, Qi Yue Xin Fan, Qing Quan Liu Xiang, Hei Deng Xia Huo.

Logical, Well-Written Stories That Avoid Cliches, Don't Manipulate Readers, and Aren't AI-Generated

No formulaic plots, no demonizing and no saintly characters. Above all, the story needs logic, and the protagonist shouldn't be an idiot. I've read a lot of books, and everything on my bookshelf is something I'd happily pay to read in full. Some books start off well, but just don't make me want to subscribe for the rest.

Excellent Urban Xianxia Fantasy with Great Writing and Plot

Mainly xianxia, fantasy, and urban fiction, with some light novels as well. The focus is on fantasy and urban stories, with a preference for dark and serious themes. There won't be many silly comedies. At the very least, the prose should flow smoothly and be easy to read.

A Different Take on Unconventional Stories

In short, read my recommendation first, then read the book, and you’ll feel like the two have nothing to do with each other. But what I said really does describe the story in the book, just from an unusual angle.
