Xi Jiang's Personal Reading List
A middle-aged reader born in the 1990s, with ten years of web-novel reading behind me. I’ve read all sorts of books, so I’m keeping track of ongoing ones here. Completed books get removed! There are loads of books on my shelf, and sometimes I can’t even remember them all! Since I’m a woman who reads male-oriented fiction, you won’t find harem novels here! (If a book is truly exceptional, I’ll make a note of it separately.) 🅰️ Anyone have recommendations? It’s so hard to find books myself. Sin
Books I Like
These are all books I personally enjoy.
Just Sharing Some Books I'm Reading
I curate this list, but I don't babysit it. If a book gets abandoned, let me know and I'll remove it. A little rant: Why do you need fan points just to post a comment in the review section these days? Seriously, any book that does that gets a bad review from me.
Reading Tracker
Keeping track of all kinds of stories I’ve read or am reading
A Store of All Sorts
I mainly recommend works with unusual premises or ones that stir up strong emotions. I’ll clean up the list regularly, keeping good completed novels and promising works that are still updating. Ten points is a perfect score, and five is passing.
Rare Finds
No restrictions on genre. These are novels I’ve read and think are worth checking out. No promising new stories here: I’m still raising those myself, and whether they’re any good is another matter. I don’t update often, and only add books that really suit my taste. Hope you enjoy them.
All Right, Let’s Try Again
I'm in a reading slump. Most of the novels I recommend currently have no female lead, though I'm okay with a single female lead in some cases. "Magic Tower," "Hell's Human Heart," "Servant of Servants," "The Resurrection War: Fighting in the Third Reich," and "Exorcist Celestial Master" have all gone silent. "The Arcane Pinnacle of Online Games" was the second online-game novel I read back then. The first was, of course, "Going Solo in the World," so I put this one here. "A Guide to Raising Drag
My Personal Taste
There aren't many. I'm a newbie and shaking in my boots. Please follow me.

I've seen many posts saying Buddhism isn't good, but every religion has all sorts of people, so you can't generalize. Buddha is an enlightened being, someone who has achieved complete enlightenment, not a god. Paying homage to Buddha is simply paying respect to an enlightened being, just like we pay respect to great figures of the past.
Actually, people shouldn't have too much aversion to Buddhism. The author is writing about Zen Buddhism, the highest achievement of the Sinicization of Buddhism. Taoist and Confucian ideas can be seen throughout. If it were divorced from traditional Chinese culture, then it couldn't be considered a Sinicization of Buddhism. It's just that too many people misunderstand Buddhism; after all, there are too many fake monks who have tarnished its reputation.
Is it finished? To be honest, this is the first time I've read a story where the protagonist seriously becomes a monk, and I think it's pretty good. Hooray! (❁´◡`❁)*✲゚*
It's so hard to find a novel about a monk who doesn't fall in love or eat meat! 555555, I get annoyed by some novels. If a monk doesn't follow the rules and regulations, doesn't believe in the equality of all beings, what kind of monk are they? All they think about is drinking, eating meat, and chasing girls. I don't know why some authors write about monks (some authors, for example).
I just don't understand. Why would people who don't like Buddha or Buddhism bother reading this book? Why do they have to leave a comment or write a chapter saying that Buddhism and temples are completely worthless in order to show how lofty their thoughts are and how knowledgeable they are? Or they'll say things like monks are inferior to Taoists, and Buddhism is inferior to Taoism.
The leak of the competition felt a bit contrived. They'd just made a big splash in real life; there was no need to write a story about a streamer accidentally filming the competition. That plot is a bit old, or maybe I've just seen too many of those and I'm tired of it.
I feel like I don't understand the system you've written. The protagonist starts with a level three cultivation that allows him to crush rocks, so how come he gets burned on his back by ordinary fire later in the Republican era, and even feels pain from being hit by a gun butt? If he's been sealed or something, then I apologize. If not, then it's your problem, author.
Keep up the good work, author! There are too few books of this type on this platform. Keep supporting me! Looking forward to it! I also hope that the gentle writing style and the plot conflicts of online novels can be better integrated.
There are too many female characters. Apart from the temple at the beginning After that, all the outstanding performers were women. Men are described very little. After all, it's a story without a female lead. He was, after all, a monk. I hope we can be more serious.
The way the parents handled things was really "not very good." It would have been better to create a alternate account, since technology and medicine are sufficient now. Perhaps my understanding is lacking, but why adopt when you have a biological child? Are you hoping they'll care for you in your old age?
