My personal reading list
Promising New Novels with Classic Potential
Most of my recommendations are new books. Old Ghost put this list together because he was bored, so there's no business deal or anything like that. Don't say I only add books because I'm paid. I go with my gut: I'll check out self-recommendations and add them if they catch my eye.

Only Stories with Few Cliches Make the List!
I usually skip books by the big names. No harems, brainless plots, or dumb characters. If the table of contents gives away the plot, I drop it immediately. I'm in a terrible reading slump. To be honest, quite a few books on this list only held my interest at first, and I didn't follow them later. But everyone's tastes are different, so I left them here. The five-star ratings are all for my personal favorites. There are only so many ways to write a story, so what matters is the writing and wheth

I have read more than two hundred chapters, and I can't stand it anymore. I really don't like the pig's trotters personality more and more. The previous chapter was very well written when Pig's Knuckle was weak. He was cautious and did not lose his wits. All members' IQs were online.
As a talisman master, wouldn't you feel anxious if you didn't have tens of thousands of talismans on you?
You need to change the protagonist. You've made him such a coward. I'm here to read a novel, not to learn how to be a coward, how to survive, or how killing monsters will make me stronger. You say life is important, and cultivation can be developed slowly, but it's not necessary. The moment we encounter a monster, he starts making excuses, saying things like, "Survival is more important..."
Author, may I ask if this book has a female lead? If not, I'll find another book to read. After all, I always need a female lead in a book, because reality is already bad enough, and I don't want to be mentally emasculated in a novel.
Honestly, that line, "What can the common people hope for? Only I, the immortal Lu Li," disgusted me. The protagonist is a sophisticated egoist driven by profit; his talk of benevolence, morality, and unrestrained spirit is all a facade, his heart filled with nothing but business interests.
At first, I thought it was a supernatural story from Liaozhai, about drawing talismans, exorcising demons, and performing rituals. But later it turned into a monster-fighting and leveling-up story. The Liaozhai theme only had a few characters and a few instances. Later it went off track, the plot dragged on and the timeline was inversely proportional. It lost popularity and its magical charm, and became a mainstream fantasy.
The protagonist initially possessed a somewhat ethereal quality, but as his cultivation level increased, he became increasingly dark, eventually treating people as less than human. The mortal crew he recruited for the voyage were treated as less than human, even declaring that anything obstructing his path was nothing but dust... Captain Zhang Ke was just an ordinary person; how did he end up on this treacherous pirate ship?
I've given up on this book. It got increasingly tiring and boring as it went on. The protagonist is portrayed as selfish, heartless, and hypocritical. The plot was okay at the beginning, but it dragged on and on. I was skipping through chapters. The talisman system was alright at first, but later on, the outline completely disappeared. I'm so disappointed!
This is the first time I've ever praised someone. I usually review books that aren't good, but this one is really well-written. Keep it up, author!
I couldn't stand watching the part where the protagonist leaves the East Sea from the very beginning. In the end, the protagonist still ended up becoming the kind of person he hated when he first started cultivating.
