Pursuing the Dao to Great Encompassment: Infinite Heavens
The four directions and above and below are space; past and present are time. Through countless trials, I return to my true self; I break through chaos and behold the true world. At the highest peak, I stand as the summit; with a single thought, I command the universe's rise and fall. Beyond calamity, the Great Luo is boundless; across infinite heavens, I roam freely.
A Veteran Reader's Private Pantry
I've been a bookworm for ten years and read a wide range of genres. Everything on this list is something I've read and enjoyed. Some have original ideas, some are works by big-name authors, and some are promising new titles. I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts. Thanks!
Starting with New Releases
This list was created on May 1, 2018. I'll recommend good books as I find them, so follow along if you're interested!
A Veteran Reader's List
My personal reading log: books I couldn't put down even if it meant staying up all night. Work... 233 System, wish fulfillment, sensible plots, myriad worlds, fan fiction... I've been reading for well over a decade. I read to pass the time, not for literary merit. Still, I appreciate authors who carefully plan their outlines, polish their prose, and take their writing seriously. I mainly like wish-fulfillment stories. Keep the pretentious literary types and protagonists who suffer for no reason

A Veteran Reader's Bookshelf
I started reading novels in 1996, so it's been over twenty years now. I think I have a decent eye for books, so I'll recommend anything that catches my fancy. Hope you enjoy them 😊 I generally don't recommend very old or famous books, since that doesn't help veteran readers find something new.

Books That Click With Me
So many books have gone missing lately, and some have been left on hold so long they’ve been abandoned.
A Must-Have List for When You Run Out of Books
Recommend some novels with potential that might become popular. Any genre is welcome. I'll also check how some books are progressing and whether the plots are any good, and remove those that don't make the cut. (If you have any good books to recommend, send them my way. I'll check them out when I have time, and if I like them, I'll add them to the list.) (The books here are mostly new or not very well known. For books by big-name authors, just check the monthly ticket rankings.) (Writing a book

I've been an avid reader for 21 years. I'm sick of the usual face-slapping wish-fulfillment plots and want to throw up whenever I see one~ Here I'm sharing some works I've carefully selected. They're all novels I genuinely got into. I hope you enjoy them 🤧

You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't read these. Read them, and you might regret getting hooked and never being able to put them down. I only recommend books once they've passed a million words because I just can't resist. No ads, no sales pitch, just my personal picks.

Only Transmigrate Through Quality, Non-Toxic Reads
After more than ten years of reading web novels, my tastes have become increasingly picky, and I get more immersed in the stories. When a novel is set in another world, I find it hard to relate if the protagonist is a native of that world. My main recommendations are transmigration and farming novels, but there are also new and old books from other genres. The star ratings aren't in any particular order. Recommendations should have sound logic and no glaring problems. The main and supporting cha

If it were just a story about martial arts during the Republican era, with a more detailed and slower pace, it would have been a phenomenal success. The later storylines and convoluted plots are just ridiculous, especially since they always involve soul travel. After finishing the first volume on the Republican era, I basically lost all desire to read further.
Seriously, just write according to your own ideas. You don't need to think too much, as long as it aligns with Chinese values. If teaching foreigners martial arts is beneficial to yourself and the country, why not teach them? Don't change everything, otherwise you'll have difficulty writing the plot and making connections.
It was amazing at first, but got worse and worse later on... The old trope of sealing one's strength when traveling through the Tang Dynasty is actually not so bad; it's just padding out the word count and doesn't really affect the plot. She looks quite good in the White Snake costume. I'm planning to completely abandon Journey to the West after this...
Having read books for 15 years, from the best to the worst, I think this one is well-written, with a tight pace and a comfortable reading experience. Don't pay attention to anyone's criticism, just write according to your own plan. Nothing can please everyone. An author should attract readers who like their style, rather than trying to please everyone. Keep it up!
Okay, that's it for now.
It's absolutely disgusting. First of all, there's a woman in the main world. You were doing fine, writing whatever you wanted. You entered The Legend of the Condor Heroes, fulfilled your dream, and married Huang Rong, and I didn't think anything of it.
Yin Wenjiao conspired with her lover to kill Chen Guangrui. He transmigrated and took Chen Guangrui's place, and inexplicably became very kind to Yin Wenjiao, overjoyed to become her father. Later, he couldn't understand his feelings for Yin Wenjiao and always felt uncomfortable with them.
This is starting to get a bit nonsensical. If Chinese deities don't even know their reincarnated form has been killed, are they still deities? It's completely illogical.
Everyone is welcome to offer their valuable insights. Feel free to share any thoughts you have while reading; if you do a good job, I'll immediately copy it into the book. For example, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Yuhan explained the concept of "listening energy"—I learned a lot! 🙂
You may dislike Wang Chao, but the double standards are too severe. The protagonist himself behaves this way; this preaching is rather inexplicable. 😅
