Fresh Sprouts to Sample: Reading List
I'm an old hand at reading and like to get to books before everyone else. I'll share some good ones here, along with my thoughts after reading. Most of the promising new novels are excellent and deserve support! If you find a book you like on this list, please bookmark it and join in the discussion. Thanks!
To Gain Is to Be Startled; to Lose Is to Be Startled. This Is What It Means to Be Startled by Favor or Disgrace.
After seeing the vast ocean, no other water will do; once you've seen the clouds over Mount Wu, no others compare. A list of books that struck a chord with me.
Never Stop Reading
Story logic comes first! This list features well-written books with sensible plots, satisfying payoffs, and highly intelligent characters with strong emotional intelligence. I've been reading for over ten years and haven't stopped!
Only You Know How It Feels
I mainly check out promising new books and hunt for niche reads "Liaozhai’s Magic Brush" "A Longtime Attendant in Dream of the Red Chamber" Added June 1, 2021: "I Am a Forbidden Life" 8.21: "Don’t Think You Can Fool Me into Becoming Tokyo’s Top Host" seems to have been abandoned 2023.4.6: Removed "Becoming a God Starts in the Bathroom" due to review issues
My Stone Canal
Every novel here is one I’ve read myself. No restrictions on genre. They suit my tastes. If one catches your eye, save it and give it a try. If not, quietly move on. That’s life. No two leaves are alike. What’s sweet to you may be poison to someone else. What you think is a masterpiece might not be to my taste. The books I enjoy may seem boring to you. Everyone has their own preferences. Just read what you like.
Novels I Like
I've been reading for xx years, and even after browsing through all the interesting books, I still can't get enough. These are probably the books I've liked over those xx years. Just for myself.
Books You’ll Never Forget
A good reading list is like having a good friend. Whenever I find a good book, I want to add it to my collection.
The Old Master's Cozy List of Novels with No Romance or Female Lead
Only books with no CP and no female lead. I mainly look for stories with sound values, but most importantly, books I enjoy.
A Journey for Kindred Spirits
If you're in a reading slump, give these a try. Beginners, stay away. Mostly new books and promising new authors.
Personal Taste
Well, they’re all books I enjoy reading.
My Personal Reading List!
Enjoy the fun of following along with a story!

Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, the depleted uranium bomb with the six senses purified. With each breath, it revolves 3,600 times, embodying great compassion and mercy to deliver all beings from suffering. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas rejoiced at the RPG explosion, and also saw five Vidyarajas manifest in the void.
Another great book to read after "Rotten Chessboard"! Keep it up!
The character Xiangzhu is really toxic 😅
The book's background is problematic. It's one thing to say Buddhism was destroyed by Taoism, the imperial court, or even demonic cults, but to say it was destroyed by monsters is a major issue. A monk must first be a human being, and only then a monk. The fact that humanity didn't unite against the monsters and allowed them to be wiped out is ridiculous. It's like aliens destroying America and China just watching the show. Furthermore, the reasons for the destruction aren't clearly explained.
Stop using your shampooing joke and the part about returning to secular life. Either guide the protagonist to gradually become a truly enlightened monk, or just go ahead and return to secular life already. Constantly talking about returning to secular life and having long hair is an obsession. He's doing the work of a high-ranking monk, acting like a prostitute while pretending to be something he's not.
A monk always uses a sword, why don't you write about a Taoist priest?
Don't you think this kind of monk is rather splendid? 🙂🙂🙂
It's another case of someone being incredibly capable but unaware of their own power! No matter how capable you are, if you can't understand your own strength, I personally find that very detrimental.
He has no understanding of Buddhism, doesn't even speak Buddhist language, and shows no intention to save all evil, teach people, or rebuild a Buddhist land.
I have this feeling that since he's already this powerful, he might as well storm the capital, destroy the royal family, and establish his own Buddhist kingdom on earth 🙂. The protagonist is practically invincible, isn't he?
