Awakening from a Great Dream a Thousand Years Later
Please don't recommend books. I won't add them. I've removed some books because their blurbs weren't good enough. If you like the list, please add it to your favorites. →_→ The title was too generic, so I changed it. Reading tip: turn off chapter comments.

A Cuttlefish's Spiritual Sustenance
An omnivorous reader's list. If you're in a reading slump, take a look. Updated from time to time. Most are still ongoing; abandoned serials will be deleted on schedule.
Stories with Sensible Values
These are all books I love, and I'm recommending them to everyone. I like stories without romance, with intelligent characters. Everything I enjoy is here.
Recommended by a 12-Year Veteran Reader. Also Includes Strongly Endorsed Newcomers and Sanjiang Picks (All Predicted to Be Excellent)
I've been reading for 10 years. These books all have smart characters, no brainless, clueless protagonists~(￣▽￣)~ Support new books, and don't pad the list with completed titles just to attract clicks. These are novels you can take your time with. Some lose all their charm if you rush through them. I taste-test the weekly featured books and the Sanjiang picks to help everyone quickly find solid reads and hidden gems!!! All the new books I've added so far have earned premium status. A must-have
Good, Good, Good Reads
Why keep books that aren’t any good?

Novels I Read to the End Back in the Day
Most of the time, I can't get past a few chapters of a web novel, but some are worth finishing.
So Addictive, I Wish the Authors Would Write 24/7
There are always a few novels that make you want to chain the author to their computer around the clock and withhold their meals until they update. There are always a few authors who are lazy and pad their stories, but you love that kind of thing anyway. You remove their books from your list again and again, only to add them back every time. There are always a few books whose authors and works are unknown, but you still want to keep reading. There are always a few novels that make you, a broke n

Books Warm My Memories
As a boy, I knew nothing of sorrow, yet loved to climb high towers. I loved to climb high towers, and to write new verses, I forced myself to speak of sorrow. Now that I know sorrow through and through, I want to speak, but stop. I want to speak, but stop, and say instead, “What a lovely cool autumn day!”
Interesting Books to Check Out [Updated Occasionally, Please Bookmark and Send Flowers]
I try to update this list every month, mainly recommending novels I personally find enjoyable and interesting. Some are satisfying power fantasies, while others are slower-paced slice-of-life stories. I tend to like lighthearted, fun novels with big ideas and creative concepts, so there may be quite a few light novels. (Note: If I find a novel enjoyable and interesting, I'm likely to recommend it, whatever the genre.) The list includes new works and promising early-stage novels, as well as com

Recommendation: Sword Dynasty
The First Song of Summer
The affairs of this world are but a great dream. How many autumns of chill does a life endure? Last night, the wind set the leaves rustling along the corridors. Look at the furrows on your brow and the gray in your hair.
Ajun's No-Holds-Barred Recommendations Across All Platforms
A collection of books mentioned in Ajun's columns across various platforms (check Ajun's profile!), whether the comments were positive or negative. I usually only include works that are unusual, have something particularly noteworthy about them, or display distinctive traits that invite in-depth analysis, even from an academic perspective. If you have particular tastes, feel free to stop by and browse. I use “Jun-style tags” to sum up each work precisely, such as “farming,” “dark themes,” “multi

A Little Keepsake
There are too many books on my shelf, and I’m too lazy to organize them. I’m making a list so I don’t lose track of books I’ve been saving for later. I’m always in a reading slump, so I’ll take recommendations of any genre
Xuanyuan Void Heaven
An orange grown south of the Huai River is an orange, but one grown north becomes a trifoliate orange. Their leaves look alike, but they taste completely different.

A certain bear: Food is provided, but not lodging. I'll make money following the Taoist priest. Luckily, the Taoist priest is generous and let me take 10% of the silver. At this rate of making money, I'll be able to buy a toilet at the Taoist temple in less than ten years. The Taoist priest is really good, hehe.
According to the victim's confession, you have committed numerous serious illegal acts against him, including illegally employing child laborers, withholding wages, exploiting his and others' labor, extorting gifts from people who came to the mountain, and killing and robbing people who refused to give gifts. Do you admit to the above-mentioned acts?
One debtor, ten coins per floor, no upper limit for now.
What's owed for several years must eventually be repaid... I've come to pay off my debt! I got hooked on the last book, but it was a pirated copy and I didn't finish it. I heard it got worse towards the end, but to be honest, it was pretty good. Hopefully, this book won't be as bad as the last one. 😅 Okay, I'll give you a 2,000 yuan tip first. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll settle the payment monthly.
On May 21st, to my shame, I've read every single one of Master Liu's books, starting with his first novel, *The Wandering Immortal*. These include *Feng Xian*, *I Have a Map of All Heavens and Realms*, *The Legend of the Immortal Court's Sealing of the Dao*, *The Transformation of the Great Void*, and now *This Poor Daoist Really Doesn't Want to Make Money*.
Although I understand that the map is going to change, I'm already tired of the content. It's mainly boring and tedious, relying on contrast and comparison to achieve its effect, which becomes tedious after a while. The plot is the same; starting from the True Immortals, every powerful character appears abruptly, always portrayed as supreme and invincible, only to be replaced by a new supreme and invincible character after just two chapters.
The beginning was well-written, so why not maintain that, keep the feel of everyday life, the struggle for survival, the worries about daily necessities? The later parts are just endless fighting, all the same old formulaic plots and typical light novel stories.
Ah! Little money!
Hey-hey
This book is fairly well-written, but many of the settings are based on ordinary people. For example, cultivators deal with silver all the time; they don't use spirit stones or anything like that, they use silver. In this world, cultivators can fly and move mountains; I don't believe silver can be that valuable, more valuable than mining in modern society.
Could we please have fewer idiotic supporting characters?
