See allA Veteran Reader's Personally Vetted Recommendations, Updated from Time to Time
A personal list, updated from time to time. Please don’t criticize if it’s not to your taste, thanks! After years of reading, I’ve developed my own preferences.

A Man's Bookshelf: 365 Days a Year Is Plenty.
Here are a few books every young man should read. It's about more than just justice!

[Brilliant Stars] That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its [world-building completeness]. For no

A Letter to Ease the Sleepless
Books are like wine: fragrant, strong, or rich. Their contents give them a mellow depth. Books are like songs: soaring, subdued, or sorrowful. Their contents make them sweet to the ear. Books are like paintings: vivid, dim, or understated. Their contents make them beautiful.

🔥My Little Stall on Qidian🔥
I won't add any dumb books to this list, because I really hate them! Emmm (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ) As someone who cares about logic, I first check whether the story is internally consistent, then whether its values and other aspects suit my taste. I just realized I'm really picky about novels! ( ,,ʘωʘ,,) I like decisive protagonists who don't hesitate to kill. It's even better when the side characters and villains are smart too! ₍₍ ◝(●˙꒳˙●)◜⚘₎₎🎉 I'll add books over time. Feel free to recommend yours if you'

Since the protagonist separated from his saviors, the grandfather and grandson, the book has become like an essay that has gone off-topic and lost its direction. It completely lost the heroic spirit and dashing demeanor of Zhang Yide from Yan that it had at the beginning.
My skills are lacking; I only managed to draw one 😁.
A chivalrous spirit always resides within, on the path to immortality, good and evil are clearly distinguished.
Throughout his journey, Zhang Kui remained true to his chivalrous spirit, neither blinded by power nor corrupted by authority, refusing to become a heartless, arrogant guest. The author's line, "Blood stains the wild grass, jackals wear official hats," truly captures the darkness of the old society.
Ji Temple Secret Realm, Ancient Spirit General Binds Locust Demon
If a supernatural power is powerful, don't restrict it. It's better to have a few weak supernatural powers than to restrict high-level ones, otherwise you'll get criticized.
Judging from the title and the book itself, the beginning is well-written and I'd give it a 90 out of 100. But after a dozen or so chapters, it's only worth a 60 at most. What is this? Isn't this just a case of false advertising? I thought the protagonist was outwardly slaughtering pigs while secretly cultivating, surviving until he emerged as a legendary figure, reaching his peak right from the…
To be honest, it's well-written. After reading so many stories of handsome young men and carefree cultivation, I've only encountered themes of useless characters, fierce villains, and kind-hearted people with gruesome appearances. This one has a solid moral compass.
It was alright at first, but it got worse and worse later on. Does the protagonist's intelligence and experience not grow at all? He's always furious when something happens—where's his life experience? He has the same personality from beginning to end; I'm speechless.
Does it look like it? (Image from the internet)
