Some Novels I Like
Some Korean entertainment novels I enjoy, along with fantasy and wuxia. Lately, I've fallen in love with farming stories. P.S. I couldn't find the book that got me into Korean entertainment novels. Was it taken down? It was Kung Fu Emperor. Back then, I thought it was about traditional Chinese martial arts... but it turned out to be about Korean entertainment. I slowly kept reading, then picked up Heavenly King, and fell completely into the Korean entertainment rabbit hole.

When reciting Taoist scriptures, avoid mentioning Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages. It's awkward and reminds one of the drug-fueled or gang-based cultivation styles of ten years ago, completely lacking any sense of ethereal elegance. The names of the cultivation methods can be referenced from the Shushan school.
I came across this book in the year of Xin Chou and found it acceptable, so I placed it on my desk to await the next chapter. Today, on a whim, I reread it and reached chapter forty-eight, where I felt as if my abdomen was being stabbed with a knife and the poison was acting up.
A few thoughts
This kind of novel has a common problem: as soon as it starts to have some plot development, it gets entangled in trouble. It's as if the world had nothing for the first few decades and was just waiting for you to start. It can't just casually gloss over a hundred or two hundred years and then directly develop into a mature and powerful figure.
Creativity that follows the crowd, writing style that of a novice.
Finished reading it, great! 👍👍 Very much to my liking. Hope the author updates more often!
Keep it up! I really love this type of novel! I've given you all my recommendation votes! My only hope is that there won't be any high school or college reunions, or any scenes of people showing off and getting humiliated!
Why is it that only humans can have merit? I feel that humans are the root of all evil. If there really is a divine order, then killing someone would probably bring merit!
The opening scene features Queen Medusa battling Bibi Dong.
The story begins with the protagonist summoning Queen Medusa, battling Pope Bibi Dong, and breaking through the Douluo Continent's defenses. The beautiful Yan Ling Ji and Hinata Hyuga are also summoned to the Douluo Continent world. Want to know who's stronger, Cai Lin or Bibi Dong? Come check it out! Just click in to find out. Starting with Douluo Continent, I'll draw a goddess.
Chapter 37's sudden appearance felt too forced. The forced pretense felt like reading a novel from years ago about pretense and face-slapping. Actually, I could accept the pretense and face-slapping aspect, but I couldn't accept incorporating it into a cultivation novel. It just didn't fit. After all, Taoism emphasizes tranquility and non-action. Wouldn't harmony be better?
I tried a few times, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. They deliberately added female characters, but the writing felt completely unnatural, and as a female reader, it was very awkward.
