A Picky Curator: I Usually Only Favorite What I've Read, Please Support Official Releases
(I’ve run out of books to read. Any recommendations? I’ve been looking into fanfiction lately, especially stories that stay true to the original characterization while offering their own interpretation of the source material.) I don’t care who the author is, as long as the writing is good. These are all books I’ve read or am currently following. I generally like dark stories, System stories, and, to a lesser extent, cultivation and fanfiction. My tastes are pretty broad. When recommending books,

Following the Best and Seeking the New
I’ve been freeloading off web novels for 20 years, and I like Heroes of Might and Magic and kingdom-building stories. These days I’m always checking out new books and saving anything good, but so many new authors get abandoned before they can grow an audience. So I’m sharing my recent discoveries and the books I follow regularly. I hope web novels keep getting better, and that everyone finds an immortal herb they love every day. I’ll add new finds from time to time.
A Leisurely Reader
Recommend a good book, and find a little joy.
Niche Classics
My heartfelt recommendations from the past 20 years. I don't read power fantasies, and I reject formulaic level-ups and simplistic newbie novels. I dislike overpowered protagonists and brainless stories most of all. Starting from Zero scarred me, along with Angel and the abandoned Absolute Game. Now I have no interest in online gaming novels! I drop a book without hesitation if the protagonist challenges someone three levels above them. Traps, suppression in special locations, and magic arrays a
A Book List from a 16-Year Veteran Reader
After looking through so many lists, I'm always worried I'll find one where the descriptions are only a few words long. Novel blurbs are already so sparse, and then the list descriptions are even shorter... So I thought I'd write a little about them myself and share them with anyone who might be interested. I started reading web novels to escape stress, and now I read them to relax in my spare time. What I want from a web novel is a fun read. I don't care whether the plot is logical or if there

I feel the author's writing style lacks a bit of "ancient charm." For example, the protagonist's nickname, "" (Sha Xing, meaning "evil star"), would feel much better if it were changed to "" (Tian Sha Xing, meaning "heavenly evil star"). Also, those "internal publications" are different.
Your entire book is about solving crimes, what does that have to do with cultivating immortality? Only the Qi family case has elements of cultivating immortality, the other cases have nothing to do with it at all! I thought there might be some after it was released, but there isn't. I was hoping there would be some cultivation stories after Jingxi. With all this crime-solving, I might as well watch the legal channel.
After reading the update, everyone has already mentioned the advantages, so I won't repeat them. Instead, I'll talk about what I personally consider to be the disadvantages. Firstly, *Xuanqing Division* includes elements of cultivation, crime investigation, court politics, and war. Based on the currently updated chapters, crime investigation is the primary focus, with the other elements secondary.
I like it. Your cultivation level can be improved a bit. In most of these fantasy novels, the protagonists of agencies like the Suspended Mirror Bureau, Demon Suppression Bureau, and Martial Suppression Bureau level up by fighting monsters and then use their cultivation to crush others. It's rare to see them solving cases. But you can't let your cultivation level fall behind.
I've read up to chapter 300 so far, and the cultivation progress is too slow, especially compared to the disciples of other sects. They're pitifully weak; if someone were to kill them outright, they wouldn't even have the ability to resist.
The writing is good, but don't treat it like a light novel; it requires some thought. I hope the author continues to write well, and I pray the author doesn't abandon the story. 🙂
Well, I've read over 400 chapters. The writing style is good, and the story is decent, but I just can't relate to the protagonist. Why the hell would an extremely power-hungry transmigrator appear in a world of immortality? To put it bluntly, after being an official for so long, the only things that truly benefit his cultivation are sects and cults. He's almost stopped taking cultivation pills.
This book shouldn't be read as a cultivation novel; it's more like a detective story set by the Imperial Guards in ancient times. The author's inclusion of cultivation elements is poorly executed, resulting in numerous flaws and illogical plot points. For example, the book frequently mentions the protagonist being unbearably hot in summer and needing to fan himself.
Having read several hundred chapters, I feel the book is still quite good, but the author hasn't grasped the key points. The aspect of the Xianxia world where strength reigns supreme isn't really shown. The dragging plot made me feel like I was reading a historical novel—no excitement, no thrills! A world where power resides within oneself shouldn't be so bland.
This book is alright. It's just that the financial aspects might be a bit... It has some potential.
