[Three Cups, Sword Drawn, Dancing with Longquan] Taking Book Recommendations
I ride ten thousand miles with spear in hand to probe the tiger's den; after three cups, I draw my sword and dance with the Dragon Spring blade.
Eclectic Picks: Great Writing, Great Plots, and Plenty of Fun. Please Like and Save!
Nothing too juvenile or mindless. I’m open to any subject or writing style, as long as it brings something fresh. Lately, I haven’t been able to find books that suit my taste, so I haven’t updated this list in ages. I spend more time looking for books than reading them.
[Top-Tier Completed Wuxia]
Pure wuxia A list specifically for newcomers to the genre. Old hands have probably read these already and can skip it. Only quality picks, all over a million words, and completed.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, we've already reached chapters 60 or 70, and I've been writing for over a month, yet the protagonist hasn't made any plans to learn martial arts. Besides completing tasks given by the eunuchs, he just eats, drinks, and sleeps. He keeps writing about insecurity, causing the deaths of the Eastern and Western powerful figures, even the Western Depot.
Hokusai
I spent a whole day finishing this book. I thought it would be a decent read, since the protagonist seemed intelligent. But it started to become toxic shortly after its release. After gaining some status, the protagonist completely lost his mind for a subordinate he couldn't even name, killing anyone who stood in his way, massacring Li Yuan, destroying the Money Gang, and even killing a…
If it doesn't fall apart, this book will become a masterpiece. Believe in yourself, and slow down the pace of writing... 😄
That's about right!
The book was barely readable in the beginning, but later on, numerous flaws, both big and small, kept popping up like mushrooms after rain. Finally, starting when the protagonist learned the Lion's Roar and fell into a coma, it turned into a story of protagonist torture. Not only did Ping Fan fall into danger, but one absurd person after another started attacking the protagonist.
The last time I unsubscribed was because they forcibly lowered the protagonist's intelligence and fighting ability. You're crazy, but I didn't say anything when you stopped updating. Now that you're back, you've increased the difficulty again. It's completely pointless and meaningless. The protagonist's groin kick is already an 8-level skill; he can use it against anyone, yet he can't beat anyone.
This book is subpar. In wuxia novels, if Jiang Yuyan is featured and then portrayed as incredibly powerful based on fatalism, it's basically unreadable. The protagonist is subordinate to Jiang Yuyan, her martial arts inferior—that alone is toxic. If you like Jiang Yuyan so much and insist on giving her all the opportunities, just make her the protagonist!
I found it strange; couldn't you finish reading before commenting?! My first instinct upon reading the comments was that it wasn't well-written, but after flipping through the first couple of chapters, I found myself at the latest update. I think it's well-written and original! The protagonist is quite clever. How the author will handle him later is still unclear; I'll have to wait for the next update.
After writing for so long, didn't this silly protagonist ever think about practicing martial arts?
