Top Picks Across Genres, a Complete Guide
I've been an avid reader for over ten years, from renting books at brick-and-mortar shops to reading web novels. At first, I read just about anything, but now I'm very picky. I don't read harem stories or books with poor writing. If a book starts well but goes downhill later, I drop it immediately. That's why I often run out of things to read these days. Here are some books I've read over the past couple of years that I thought were pretty good. No formulaic plots or harem stories. I hope you en

Pigsy wanted to marry Gao Cuilan, but she didn't want to marry him, so she asked someone to exorcise a demon. Tang Sanzang was asked to exorcise the demon, and after taking on a disciple, he took it upon himself to act as matchmaker for Pigsy to marry Gao Cuilan.
The protagonist's personality is truly that of an ordinary, down-to-earth person. He's not particularly likable.
In Journey to the West, Laozi and Guanyin Bodhisattva shouldn't fight. This isn't the Laozi from the Investiture of the Gods, because Laozi was tricked by the Great Sage. Guanyin Bodhisattva subdues demons throughout Journey to the West through wisdom. It's not about physical strength; for example, the Scorpion Demon's weakness is the Rooster Constellation. In Journey to the West, status doesn't equal combat power; there's a distinction between civil and military officials.
Forcibly reducing intelligence—didn't the Buddhist community notice anything amiss with Tang Sanzang's actions, and instead remained indifferent?
The protagonist's personality is so bad that he'd have died long ago without his protagonist's halo. And the addition of female characters feels rather poorly done; they seem only there to satisfy the male lead's sexual needs, offering no emotion or help... Even Tang Sanzang has become a lecherous devil.
You slept with the Queen of the Women's Kingdom and the Scorpion Demon, and received so many peaches and golden pills, but you didn't share any with them, especially the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, who is just a mortal. You wouldn't give her the golden pills, but you could give her the peaches, which are useless to you now.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal is not eternally free across all time and space, projecting into countless worlds, unique among all heavens, transcending the river of fate, once proven, forever proven; once attained, forever attained; existing only in this present world. Why does the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the book seem somewhat weak, with a Primordial Golden Immortal above him?
If we only talk about Journey to the West without mentioning Investiture of the Gods and the prehistoric era, the most powerful characters in Journey to the West include Buddha, Bodhi Patriarch, Zhenyuan Daxian, and the Great Sage Equal to him.
The opening scene, where I'm mistaken for peeping at the dragon girl bathing, reminds me of reading a light novel five years ago.
I didn't want to read it after just one look at the synopsis. Why? Because the author puts the new book's advertisement before the old book's synopsis, which shows that the author doesn't care about their own work. If you've chosen to reuse something worthless, why should I read it?
