Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into light entertainment, and I avoid romance and urban fiction, with a few exceptions. I dropped some of these books later on, but they still have something worth reading. I hope you find one that suits you.
No Female Leads: Xianxia, Wuxia, and Online Games with Smart Characters and Underdog Comebacks

【Brilliant Stars】That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its 【world-building completeness】. For no

Claiming the Central Plains
How could I meet you, at the moment when I was most beautiful? For this, I prayed before the Buddha for five hundred years, begging it to let us share a destined bond. So the Buddha turned me into a tree, growing beside the path you must take. In the sunlight, I carefully covered myself in blossoms, each one the hope I carried from a past life! When you come near, please listen closely: the trembling leaves are the passion with which I’ve waited! But when at last you pass by without a glance, wh

Books I Can Still Enjoy After 10 Years of Reading
I prefer xianxia, especially stories about ordinary people farming and building families or sects. For now, the list is mostly new books, since I can hardly find anything else to add. If a new book isn't good, I'll remove it, so the list may change a lot. I'll mark books I keep subscribed to as worth stocking up on, meaning I've followed them for at least a month after they went premium. The rest are just decent reads. I'll add some older books too, at least ones good enough to reread three time
These Stars Are Not Like Last Night's
Xianxia first emerged in novels during the Republican era. The modern classical xianxia tradition is represented by The Legend of the Swordsmen of the Shu Mountains.[1] Modern classical xianxia draws on elements from ancient texts such as The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Huainanzi, The Thousand Character Classic, and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. It also takes inspiration from works such as History of Chinese Mythology by Yuan Ke, an academic study, while story-focused readers can t

It sounds ruthless and shameful to say. I don't want to see a monk who thinks about mortals. It would be nice if he could have the kindness of the protagonists in some classical fairy novels. Refutations are welcome, but I may not accept it. In reality, I give change to beggars and donate money online. I also feel sorry for ordinary people when I see disasters. But I have to tell my conscience that I hardly really care about them. I only feel sorry for them for a moment, and I just cater to the public's moral concepts. A typical man in gray. I posted this post mainly because I found that in recent fairy tales or more novels, the protagonist always has the world in mind and tries to unite the world, which makes me a little confused, but maybe this is not a bad thing, right?
It turns out that he is the author of Yanzhe Daotu. The author is really creative. The ideas of these two books are very novel and interesting, but I think they are lacking in storytelling. Sometimes the setting is too detailed, and the setting is eager to be thrown out, resulting in several pages of a chapter being devoted to setting, which not only seems boring, but also interrupts the coherence of the plot. In Yanzhe Daotu, I was attracted by the novel system, but when I often encountered battles and other places where continuity was needed, a long explanation came, which disrupted the reading rhythm.
Currently a fully subscribed reader I feel that this book is a bit tasteless and a pity to abandon. The protagonist basically comes into contact with alchemy monks. It itself has the characteristics of Nascent Soul. Count half a Nascent Soul. He is also the founder of the incense path and the leader of the sect. But this cultivation level has always been foundation building. Various insights. Anyway, I just can't get the pill. It feels like the author is just stuck. I'm a little hesitant and feel like it's a waste of money to continue watching. Forget it, wait for this plot. After the blood shark thief attacks, it's over. Let's see if the author plans to let the protagonist go up there. It's really boring to keep pressing.
Continuous self-improvement
When cultivating the incense path, the most taboo thing is to pray to gods and worship Buddha. There is no such thing as the fragrance of heaven or earth, the fragrance of others. The superior incense path seeks oneself, and what one seeks is not even oneself, but a clear mind and nature, and knowing the beliefs in the heart. What you cultivate is the God in your heart. " "The way to cultivate the Zhongyang Incense Path is to cultivate incense, and let others come to seek for oneself. What you are cultivating is the god in others' hearts. " "I'll take the incense path, pray for gods and Buddhas, pray for Yin spirits, and pray for everything. Mr. Guo raised his cigarette pot and said: "The best way to incense is hard to find, the middle way is messing with oneself, and the poor way is even more self-contemptuous. You have worked hard all your life and spent half your life seeking enlightenment. How can I make it easier for you to carry that kind of stuff?" " "I dare not comment on those who pray to gods and worship Buddha, and those who practice Shintoism. After all, those who seek immortality will have everything they want in the end, and those who have immortality will have it. How can I, a mere casual cultivator, comment on them? " " But that one on your back is just a kid. You have to bring a ghost back, nourish it with human body medicine, and use incense to invite it to do something, in order to be able to exert magic power. It is difficult to find the Tao, not because you are building a foundation and using tricks, but because..." "How can you seek the Tao when you despise yourself? Qian Chen said. Qian Chen took out a piece of incense for praying to gods and handed it to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu took the incense tremblingly. The little ghost on his back was extremely docile at this moment. Xiaoyu lit the incense with the fire of life. In the wisps of fragrance, the little ghost suddenly transformed into a ferocious ghost king and the Mingwang Bodhisattva, with powerful and angry eyes, and infinite magical powers when he raised his hands and feet. In the dark, a loud voice asked him: "What are your wishes?" " Xiaoyu wanted to ask it to save his brother. He wanted to light the incense and worship the little ghost on his back, so that he could become a ghost king and reach the realm of divine blessings mentioned in the classics left by his master. He would have the power of pill formation and be as equal as the old monster of pill formation. At this moment, in his hand The praying incense seems to have such power. Of course... Qian Chen felt very calm. What he took this time was not the scraps, but the genuine high-grade praying incense. When the incense came out, the gods and Buddhas responded, and the sound that echoed around Xiaoyu was not an illusion. It is true that all gods and Buddhas, including evil gods, demon gods, and righteous gods, all come here to pay attention to it. Except for the gods of the third grade and above, this ray of immortal energy has attracted many demons and snake gods. It is extremely precious. The incense of praying to gods is not because Xiaoyu's destiny is great, nor because this person is worthy of his enlightenment, but because he adheres to his true intention and the Supreme Philosophy, and disdains the idea of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. Although Qian Chen could not see it with his own eyes, he could feel the philosophy of immortality and self-improvement. , This is the principle that Qian Chen adheres to regardless of his true intention or evil thoughts. Therefore, he is very happy to do this kind of thing. Outside the main hall, the bronze Buddha and countless skeleton monks are chanting scriptures. Inside the main hall, Qian Chen takes action and asks the self of an unknown person... Xiao Yuduan. Hold that stick of incense and perform the Taoist ritual of burning incense with sincerity. Burning incense does not ask for gods and Buddhas, but only to understand the mind and nature, to ask about the truth, and to ask about oneself. At this moment, the little ghost on Xiaoyu's back wailed, and his eyes turned blood red instantly, and the essence of his whole body returned to Xiaoyu crazily. The anger went out of the mouth of the little ghost on his back. Under the danger of the most dangerous Yin spirit backlash mentioned in the letter left by his ancestor, Xiaoyu gave up on the legacy left by his ancestor and tried every means to find blood food and burn incense to appease him. Kowtow three times to understand one's mind and destroy the gods and Buddhas. In the void, countless gods and Buddhas suddenly fell silent. There were countless malicious glances, countless vicious curses from evil gods, and the contemptuous sneers of countless gods and Buddhas, which echoed in Xiaoyu's ears. Qian Chen just said coldly: "Get out! " These malicious eyes instantly caused the birds and beasts to scatter. A god suddenly appeared in Xiaoyu's heart, and it was himself. The half stick of praying incense built its foundation and enlightened the god in his heart. At this moment, Only then did he feel the magic power that came from his heart. The god in his heart rose up with a sword. As Xiaoyu's face turned cold, the kid on his back was killed in an instant. That feeling of omnipotence and unwillingness disappeared. The feeling disappeared. At this time, the little fish who had truly grasped himself and cultivated his magic power burst into tears. The omnipotent god was an illusory god. Only after he saw his true nature did he realize that he could not do anything. Xiang Dao, he also knew that he couldn't save the big man. Only by knowing his nature can he know what he was unable to do. Xiaoyu tried his best to place his eyebrows on the big man's body: "If I were a god, I would protect you from the sea of suffering! "
I thought about it again and again, and I couldn't understand why this book (including the author's other books) had an interesting setting, a well-developed background, and a capable protagonist, but why I just couldn't read it. But when I saw the part where the protagonist's fragrance can wash (purify, convert?) People's hearts and the sect recruits casual cultivators, I began to understand the reason. The author's thinking was different from mine at the beginning when reading this type of novel. The author intentionally or unintentionally promotes the concept of "the public", which is the kind of "even if a person has supreme power and status, he is still a human being, and must believe in and actually conform to the concept of "human" (including moral concepts and mortal beings). Those who do not conform need to be suppressed or transformed (this book purifies the aroma, and the previous book unifies thinking)". From a practical point of view, I I think this is a good thing, but I personally always oppose this idea for the sake of opposition in the world of thinking. I never want to be like others! (Even if I can only do it when thinking), what is even more unacceptable to me is that the protagonist is constantly insisting on improving his own ideas and constantly trying to promote it, and he also has the extreme ego of "all my actions are the right way." I am personally afraid of this pale justice. I want the world to be unified, but that comes from everyone's own ideas and interests (of course this is contradictory), not everyone's idea. Perhaps ghosts and kayaking have a common language, but there is also another difference. I wish the author a great sale of his book!
Before Chapter 50, the author said that it is not a matter of values, but you have traveled through time, and you still have the concept of the earth in your mind. Of course, if you can defeat the country alone, that is another matter. According to normal logic, if you travel to a strange environment, you cannot integrate into the society at that time, which is undoubtedly a failure.
After the author finishes this book, he can rest for a while, and then write a new book when he is ready. Now this book is starting to go up and down. If the mentality is not there, just take your time. There are fewer and fewer people starting to tell stories seriously now. I don't want to be missing one
He started the path of incense cultivation and became the ancestor of the path. Come on
The concept and creativity are all very good, but it's too wordy. Half of a chapter is filled with various explanations and reasoning, and there isn't much real storyline. This is the case in almost every book by the author.
Master Li has really been described as a patriarch by the author, and Xiang Dao also gives people a feeling that it has developed into a cultural custom 👍 The fighting style, the writing of Xiang Dao exercises, and the description of the market for cultivating immortals are quite detailed, but the fighting method is a bit fleeting, which is shabby Then the most simplest part is to write about the environment, scenery and local distribution. I can't remember what Xuanzifeng and Dalin River look like, what country is on land, what terrain is what, what mountains are what scenery, what scenery is on the island, what map is on the sea, what map is on land. As a result, I feel that there is a missing piece in Xiangzu's worldview. Master Li and his wife, the business alliance, and the market for cultivating immortals are all floating on a blank 😠
