A Veteran Reader's Immortal Herb Picks
Some books get taken down without warning. The ones that survive are the cream of the crop. I'm not a fan of any particular author. I don't remember authors, just stories. I might finish subscribing to a whole book without remembering who wrote it. That's just how unique and willful I am, haha.
Books I've Finished
I finished these and thought they were pretty good. If you're out of things to read, give them a try. They're all from the gaming category.

I will not read clichéd plots, messy writing, or padded content!

It Feels So Good Not to Chase Updates
Every novel here is complete, so there's no need to follow an ongoing series. The only catch is that some endings feel rather rushed 😑 P.S. I really feel like my own words have come back to smack me in the face. At first, I said I’d include one completed novel per author because I like to find books by author. When I discover a book I love, I want to read everything else that author has written too. But after finishing those books, I realized one thing: authors who write one great novel often wr

I've read quite a few chapters, and the more I read, the more awkward it gets. Honestly, even with this cheat-like protagonist, his cultivation isn't faster than everyone around him. Are you trying to suppress his cultivation and challenge those above him? Then what's the point of using a cheat?
I have a question for the author. Does the protagonist have to collect at least 100 Xuan-level cultivation techniques before he levels up? He encounters so many opportunities and risks his life so many times, just for a few easily obtainable Xuan-level techniques? What's the point? Why not use the pills that can level him up himself and give them to others? Is he some kind of philanthropist?
If I had that kind of cheat-like ability, I could just stay in one region, moving on when the spiritual energy is insufficient, constantly refining pills and crafting weapons without lacking resources. The game world is never short of life-or-death trials, and if I offend anyone in the real world, I could just kill them all, bury their ashes, and do it all in one go.
The plot is clichéd: the protagonist works for a security escort agency, nearly causing its annihilation two or three times. Each conflict involves minor characters mindlessly attacking the protagonist, or a minor character's jealousy of the woman beside the protagonist sparks a revenge killing… Is this some kind of protagonist halo? The protagonist has a cheat code that levels up quickly, while three or four minor characters level up just as fast as the protagonist. 😅
This is outrageous! In a small-town escort agency, everyone except the protagonist is practically a peerless genius. Even the forty- or fifty-year-old head (chief escort) can reach the fifth level of Qi Refining in half a year. The protagonist gets an extra power every three days, and even after eight months, he's only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, anyone related to the protagonist levels up incredibly fast, making the other natives seem particularly useless.
Since the male protagonist has a cheat code (he himself admits to being a coward), why does he still run around aimlessly? He's weak and keeps causing trouble for himself everywhere. Why can't he just find a place to play the game and become stronger before coming out? He's a boss who only reached level 5 in the game after half a year and gets one-shotted by players. Instead of trying to improve his strength, he's running around aimlessly in the real world. Isn't he better off in the game?
I can't understand a cheating protagonist and those who follow the plot like Han Li. The protagonist doesn't need skills or pills, but only magic weapons. After entering the game so many times, he can't upgrade as fast as his friends. He goes out to hang out every day, saying that he doesn't have routines, and goes out to hang out again. Han Li can't compare. Is this what two people are like?
The beginning is like a miraculous herb, but the end is full of poisons. The author deliberately suppresses the protagonist's cultivation level; the protagonist's level is gained by killing players. What if the protagonist can't keep up with the players' levels? Did the author consider this? There are still players at the Qi Refining stage after two or three years? Is this game a real world?
The author is so aloof! Say something to warm things up! 🙂
The beginning was alright, but later on, the people around the protagonist, relying solely on a cultivation manual and nothing else, progressed in cultivation faster than the protagonist, who had a ton of fortuitous encounters. That's when I knew it was going to fall apart; it wasn't interesting anymore.
