Farming Fiction and a Nursery for Promising New Reads
Reading is like savoring delicious food. A good book can keep you hooked and broaden your horizons. Books are like portals that let you glimpse the wonders of another world. I'm open to recommendations, but this list only accepts novels with consistent logic. No need to recommend formulaic stories with nothing new to offer. Also, don't self-promote books that clearly aren't pastoral fiction based on the title or blurb. It's best to recommend directly in the comments using your author account, so

A Place for Fantasy
For a work to count as fantasy, in the narrow sense of the term, it needs a complete world of its own. Stories that grow out of such a world are what we call fantasy. The first category is mainstream fantasy, or epic fantasy. Often compared with sword-and-sorcery fantasy, it focuses on grander themes and broader plots. Rather than individual adventures, it deals with political struggles, wars between nations, and the fate of the world. Works in this category tend to be meticulously written and r

Mystery and Interesting Fan-Fiction Works
Unusual fantasy that lives up to my expectations I like novels where the protagonist is a mastermind working behind the scenes, playing the game from a high-level perspective. I hate good-for-nothing protagonists and progression stories. You don't have to wait until the protagonist has mastered some divine technique before they make their move, but at the very least, they should have trained as much as they possibly can. What I find most baffling is how someone fresh out of the gate always has t

An Old Bookworm's Reading Diary
I've been reading novels for over a decade, and the longer I've been at it, the fewer books I find worth reading. Here I'm sharing the novels I like and am currently following with fellow veteran readers like me. I don't care about an author's ranking; it doesn't matter whether they're a big name or not. I hope you find something you enjoy. P.S. The books I recommend are generally over 500,000 characters long. I usually let shorter ones build up first, so I won't recommend them until then.

A Bookish Grab Bag
A word of warning to readers: if you come across an author who loves handing out permanent bans, stay away from their books. You don't want to make one careless comment in the reviews and get permanently banned. Wouldn't that be infuriating? These are the kinds of books I read regularly, a bit of everything, mostly popular novels that are pretty good. I'll keep adding more. I've also made a separate list of books where I got banned. My reviews aren't even harsh, yet I still got banned, which tel

I'm a longtime reader. I don't read angst-heavy stories or amateurish writing, and I need characters to have some brains. I guess I'm a bit of a stats nerd too (๑˙ー˙๑) If you know any other good books, leave a comment and I'll check them out. I'll add the good ones from time to time٩(๑`н´๑)۶ There are no romance novels on this list. I may add some wuxia novels if I come across ones I like.

Most of these are light and cheerful reads. Work is stressful enough, so I update this list slowly. These novels are easy to read without thinking too hard. Take them seriously and you've already lost.

As long as the plot doesn't fall apart and I continue writing at the current level, it will definitely be a masterpiece when it's finished!
Tentacle Monster vs. Magical Girl 😏
I suspect the reason it's not popular is because it lacks prestige. Ancient gods aren't supposed to be so low-class; shouldn't they be chaotic and incomprehensible? How come they've become kind and approachable old men in your eyes? It's well-written, but it just doesn't have that right feel.
I was about to give up after reading 500 chapters, but then I thought I'd say something. The opening concept was fantastic, and I had high expectations. But from the moment the first witch, Alice, awakened her powers, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The author had misjudged the situation, and the story might be doomed.
People with many questions should reflect on their own issues. Everyone's ideas are different. Writing about an ancient god and saying it doesn't resemble an ancient god in this way or that way is not an ancient god. This is an ancient god written by the author, an ancient god transformed by a player.
I've roughly finished reading it. Since the results aren't good, I'll offer some suggestions. The biggest problem with this book is its unstable positioning. Although this book uses some of the settings of Lovecraft and is about mythical beasts, the final image is actually a tentacle monster.
Is this the story of a tentacle monster and his harem?
Book Review of "The Self-Cultivation of the Ancient Gods"
It's a dismal business. I admire the author's noble sentiments. Now, let me offer my own irresponsible opinion. 1. The setting and world-building are very appealing. However, it feels like the world-building was barely shown in the early stages, which might not have kept readers engaged.
To be honest, what kind of ancient god are you? You don't want women, you don't want blood sacrifices, you don't want gold, you don't want magic. Are they here to build infrastructure? ****Ancient God? You're still coaxing this little girl like that, are you a god? (Completely merciless) This kind of writing won't appeal to Cthulhu fans, and those who enjoy children's fairy tales won't come here. I'm outta here.
This book is good, so why isn't it popular?
