Hidden Gems: A List of Lesser-Known Novels (Usually, More or Less)
If you're out of books to read, check the signing rankings. Since member clicks disappeared, it feels like the only treasure trove left besides the monthly and recommendation vote rankings. I recently discovered that the limited-time free section has some gems too. One out of every five books is still worth reading.

If You're Out of Books to Read, Come On In
I always feel like I've run out of books, even though there are plenty on this list I haven't finished.
Books I’m Following
Books I'm reading. The setting, imagination, details, and so on all have to feel right. I can't stand forced showboating or characters throwing themselves at the protagonist. It's just painful to read.
My Favorites
No tired tropes, no good-for-nothing protagonists, no tormenting the main character, and no childish writing, unless it’s good. I recommend reading from the bottom up (⊙o⊙) I still don’t like you, my liege, like clouds drifting tens of thousands of miles without asking when they’ll return ☁☁; I still don’t like you, Your Majesty, like the wind drying up the ocean across a hundred thousand miles, never to stir another ripple 🍃🍃🌊🌊; I still don’t like you, my sovereign, like the sunset’s fading gl

Good Stuff~
A whole bunch of solid reads
My Own Bookshelf
Popular authors' books take too long to get going, and I don't have the patience, so I read more obscure ones instead. These are books I can stick with. I made this list for myself so I won't forget what I'm reading.

I've noticed that many authors nowadays give their protagonists the identity of illegitimate children! But if you do a little research, you'll find that illegitimate children aren't like sons born to concubines (sons born to a concubine are generally not recorded in the family genealogy, but are considered high-ranking servants; only if the mistress has no biological children, or the head of the…
Most of the Crab Thunderbolts went to Yandu to find the Grandmaster 😒
A fantastic book. I hope the author keeps it up. The writing style is top-notch; the martial arts elements are highly sophisticated, novel, and unique, a real eye-opener.
I've read about half of it, so here are my thoughts. Overall, I think it's pretty good. (Author, keep up the good work!) The novel borrows from *Yang Shen* and uses early Qidian (a popular online novel platform) tropes, but attempts innovation through a systematic approach. Its biggest selling point is the Thunderbolt martial arts.
What martial arts skills, weapons, and items are suitable for the protagonist?
If we're temporarily following the Confucian path, then the classic texts and famous sayings about gentlemanly conduct are acceptable. Other options include "Seamless Clothes" and "Three Absolute Techniques Without Fixed Formation." As for protective gear, there's the Unbreakable Protection, Purple Dragon Battle Scale, and Invincible War Dragon from the Lost City era.
Autumn is associated with punishment and is yin in nature; it is also a military symbol, and metal is used in military operations. This is the righteous energy of heaven and earth, which is always characterized by solemnity and killing. Heaven's influence on things is that spring brings forth life and autumn brings harvest.
After reading the first chapter, I can't understand how such a family can still exist.
Frankly, I felt a sense of exhilaration when I first saw this book, but after reading more, something felt off. Anyone familiar with puppet shows knows that a person's martial arts are closely linked to their style and mindset—this is what's called martial spirit and character. But the protagonist here wants to learn everything, everything.
There's a misconception among authors these days: what's the use of learning a ton of martial arts techniques? Don't tell me about systems that teach everything in advance. The true path is to master one technique and naturally acquire incredible supernatural abilities when you reach a certain level. That's the correct cultivation system.
After reading the first thirty-odd chapters, the more I read, the more I felt that the protagonist wasn't his father's biological son (=_=). It's like he's raising an enemy; what if there's a major whitewash later on...?
