Top Picks! Great Writing, No Beginner-Level Prose
This list collects quality novels with polished writing and plots that avoid the usual clichés, as well as some classic older works! Those classics will naturally have flaws if judged by today's standards, so if you're just looking to nitpick, don't bother. I'll occasionally reorganize the list based on title length and publication date.
Great Reads a Veteran Reader of N Years Has Enjoyed
I've been reading since 2008 and discovered plenty of great books along the way. I've gathered them here for fellow veteran readers who are out of things to read. The list focuses on historical, fantasy, and (hard) science fiction. I mainly look for originality and good writing. Famous books are unlikely to make the cut, and I don't read painfully naive stories.

A Reading List for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms
Works I've read and really enjoyed. I hope we can share these unusual stories and discuss the questions they raise. I won't give specific ratings, since different readers will reach different conclusions. It's better to see for yourself than to rely on what others say. I'll add recommended books if I've read them and think they're good. If a book isn't on the list, it just doesn't suit my current tastes. For now, the list is mostly historical and xianxia web novels, with a few science fiction, w

Underrated Completed Cultivation Fantasy Gems
Xianxia novels come in many varieties, and their quality is all over the place. This list features some lesser-known, high-quality novels I've picked out over the past few years. They lean toward traditional xianxia, with well-developed settings and protagonists who grow over time.

Big Ideas > Good Logic > Great Writing
I'm in a reading slump, so I'm recommending some books to help others avoid one. My ranking criteria are: First: A vivid imagination, or what people call a wild premise. Second: Good logic. Tell a story in a way that makes people believe it could really happen. Third: If the first two boxes are ticked, good writing is a bonus. I have to admit, some people can make even ordinary things fascinating. P.S. No self-recommendations, please. These are just my subjective picks, made by a lazy reader.

Novels Across Every Genre You Won’t Be Able to Put Down
In the years since online fiction took off, many great books have appeared. Some have been overlooked; others have been abandoned because of the author’s update schedule. But even if they aren’t popular, their brilliance is undeniable. Infinite-flow, apocalyptic, fantasy, supernatural, and urban superpower stories.

At the beginning, there was a special lecture on Taoism and alchemy, but at the end, three wives and four concubines were still messing around outside, and all kinds of intrigues, which really insulted Taoism. The indigenous woman in the front actually gave birth to a son for the protagonist, wasn't she an experimental subject? Are you treating your son as an experimental subject? I felt that after reading more than 50 chapters, the more I read, the more disgusting I became. How could such a person become an immortal? It's reasonable if you're into the fantasy genre, but Taoism is not like that at all.
I'm a little confused, why did Xuan Weizi take that female native with him? It's okay that the leopard is a test subject, but what about the female aborigine? You killed someone's master and hundreds of uncles, and the people you harmed were expelled from the tribe. You saved someone after being begged twice by a leopard in the Holy Land, and you didn't even ask her to teach her Taoism? Even though she had clearly stated that she would leave in the future, she still had to teach her (to fight against the colonists and save the tribe) and the protagonist's current identity is also one of the invaders. Why? The protagonist didn't say anything in the article, so I was confused.
I find that many people read books now and start to take them out of context after reading a little bit. What about the protagonist befriending the enemy, or what about the protagonist teaching the enemy to make the enemy stronger. The only reason that is more reasonable is that I don't like the protagonist having a harem. If you don't like harem stories, you can understand it and I won't go into it. Everyone has their own preferences, but I saw that the author basically didn't write much about the emotional drama between the protagonist and the harem. Those women and the protagonist basically just get what they need, and there is nothing disgusting about it. As for the main character's enemies, helping his enemies, and teaching the humane law of other worlds, haha, I don't know if those people are here to deliberately be malicious or if they are really reading the book and only reading half of it before posting comments. Are Renxuan Weizi helping the priestess and leopard girl to be enemies? Xuan Weizi only used these two people as experimental subjects at first. Later, they discovered that Xuan Weizi could not handle them and Xuan Weizi voluntarily surrendered to them. As for the enemy, it's even more ridiculous. Don't stand for the protagonist, okay? In the beginning, the protagonist didn't regard the people in that town as his side at all. The people in the town just treated the protagonist as a useful tool and always troubled the protagonist. The protagonist had already planned to leave after recovering to a certain level of cultivation. On the contrary, the people from the priestess side later surrendered and became the protagonist's first team. The subsequent blockbuster plots basically revolve around this group of spirit guards. The funniest point of criticism is that it is not possible for the protagonist to teach humane law in another world. It is extremely ridiculous. Taoism itself is to be spread. Teaching barbarians is legitimate and cannot be more legitimate. What's more, the protagonist himself has said that the practice of Taoism cannot be completed by one person. It requires the collective wisdom and the joint promotion of a large number of Taoist elites. In this other world, the protagonist does not teach people to find fellow hammers? When did it become a mistake to teach barbarians the truth? Are aliens not humans anymore? Why are people from other worlds not qualified to practice Taoism? There are people from other worlds who are even more awesome than Xuan Weizi. The author is writing about things outside the world, and he must write about the collision and fusion of magic and otherworlds. If you don't like reading it, don't click in. It's not impossible to give opinions, but after reading a few snippets and then pulling them out of context to mislead other readers, it can really only be said to be ridiculous. Criticism is criticism. If you don't like reading this book, it's no big deal to criticize it. But if you continue to follow the book review and criticize it, I suspect that these people are professional smugglers.
Kung Fu and magical powers can be taught at will, as long as you take precautions. It's a good theory. It's a pity that it cannot withstand scrutiny. Since ancient times, it is easy to attack but difficult to defend. It is easy for you to pass on everything you have learned, but can you be prepared for everything? How about having an expert analyze the weaknesses of your skills? If you teach others boxing and kicking skills, you can protect yourself by wearing plate armor, but what about teaching others how to make firearms? Are you going to sleep with tank armor plates on every day? Where does the protagonist's transcendence, taking everything and asking for everything, come from? Isn't it just my own magical power? Isn't the logic distorted by taking what you have learned so lightly? If you teach the art of witchcraft and even methods that can change the social structure, how much of a burden would this be? Isn't this self-inflicted karma? Imagine that everyone knows the method of cultivation, why do you enjoy the Dharma and Land of the wealthy couple? Everyone knows the art of witchcraft. Why don't your relatives and friends find you as the instigator if you die? Everyone is embarking on the path of cultivation. What do the Master Group think? What you have learned must not be your own enlightenment. Your ancestors and great virtues of all generations have not been spread to the world. Why do you engage in compulsory education? Just because someone else taught you, the exercises are all your own? Duh! Ru Qiang said that he did not want to spread the teachings widely, but unfortunately I have already recorded it, so you cannot deny it Besides, in my opinion, spreading the teachings widely will make you lose your own specialness. Why is there so many loopholes in front of you, Master? Because you are a special profession that mages have no contact with at all, just like the Mongolian cavalry is to European iron cans. But when you spread Taoism widely, you will no longer be special. Those who are interested can analyze this system, and those who study Taoism will know it very well. When a large number of Taoists appear, you will no longer have a professional advantage! What's more, you also passed down the art of gathering rampant soldiers and even using witchcraft to defeat the enemy. You are responsible for the burden of spilling blood from the sky and endless killings. What you are doing is different from those who spread nuclear weapons and spread epidemics? The Necromancer is not as good as you!
It smells like a wandering immortal
I really like this book and hope it does better. If you like Taoism, fantasy, and farming, then you can read this book. As long as you understand the protagonist's level, it's not toxic at all. One or two "Shen Nong" cannot represent everyone, nor can they represent you. I hope this book will get better and better. Please check it out below! Upvote this post so more people can see it! Thank you (*°∀°)=3
There are always negative comments, so I'll add one. This book basically refers to the settings of Xu Gongzi Shengzhi, Shenyou, and Lingshan series, and writes a Western fantasy story based on the reincarnation of Qiye into another world. Because the setting is directly borrowed, the practice process does not seem so original. The main thing is to see how things in Western fantasy are integrated into the Chinese practice process, and the protagonist's practice process. . . As for the comments in the comments about teaching enemies and starting a harem, I feel that you are not at your level.
It's really poisonous to see the protagonist killing his teacher, his tribe, his secret admirer, and then teaching him how to practice Taoism. Shennong couldn't stand it even when he came. Unable to bear it any longer, I withdrew.
Hasn't anyone built a building to counteract that bad criticism? Do your comments have actual suggestions? Do you express the need to discuss questions? This book does not need your praise, but what I see is a malicious evaluation of the character settings in this novel. It is impossible for every character setting to be so consistent with your three views and your so-called positive energy. No book can cater to everyone's ideas. My main reason is that when I first read the book review every day and see that post, I feel disconnected.
Looking at the back, the son of the villain's plane was specially set up to give away the most beautiful woman. The author probably thought that this was a test of the reader's Taoism? ? ?
