The Daily Life of a Long-Lived Species
A community of long-lived beings, with little in the way of fiery passion or excitement. All they have is leisure and... wisdom. In a good story, the more everyday the scenes, the more clearly the author's elegant prose and profound ideas shine through. This is my own little corner, just a record of my reading journey. If it's not for you, please move along, and don't be abusive.
Top Picks: Infinite-Flow Novels
Genres include Primordial Chaos, Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, high martial arts, wuxia fantasy, spiritual qi revival, and more
Asterisk
For personal use. Please don't criticize if it's not your thing. No beginner-level wish-fulfillment novels.
Lend Me a Moment, Beaded Curtains and Floating Lights, Gazing Across the Rain, Lonely at the White Gate
These are all books I personally think are pretty good. Give them a read, and please follow me...

The plot of this book is fine, and the characters are all normal, but it's too much like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, making it feel like a story collection! The shortcomings are the lack of everyday life humor, too few plot twists or cliffhangers, and the characters are somewhat flat.
The book is well-written, the subject matter is interesting, and the writing style is elegant, so why are there so few votes? Because the values differ somewhat from those of modern people. The ancients valued righteousness over profit, and this was also true of *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*.
The immortals in the book are at most at the Qi Refining stage in cultivation.
This daily reading guide is toxic; it's been suspended for a month, and they're still recommending it to me?!
It's beautifully written! Highly recommended by a 20-year veteran bookworm.
What matters in a book is the writing style. If the writing is good, even rehashing old material can become popular. Perhaps the author is already planning new chapters! Some of you trolls, please stop criticizing. If you keep going, the author might lose their temper and stop writing altogether! Let's be patient! The author's writing is actually quite good (✪▽✪).
I think it's great, keep it up!
Oh, so the hell here refers to the hell for humans. Any creature that has killed people is punished in hell. That's ridiculous!
Could you please revise the part about accepting apprentices? It feels too forced. In ancient times, especially scholars and officials, there was a saying, "Don't peep into someone's dark room," and this was how they taught their descendants. Even in martial arts novels, spying on others practicing martial arts is considered immoral; if you seize on that, you'll definitely be punished.
Eunuchs should die! 😡
