These are the books I've been following lately. They're all different genres and picked entirely according to my own tastes. Most are new or early-stage books, so please don't be harsh if they're not for you. If you know any good ones, feel free to recommend them! I've recently started working, so I may have less time to read. Updates to the list may be sporadic.
Only the Readable Stuff
The point of this list is to pick out some fresh, original works from this sea of formulaic stories and studio-produced books. Think of it as a filter. I can’t promise they’re great, but at least they’re readable. I mainly look for something fresh, and only recommend stories whose plots suit my tastes. I’ll rate them later.

Decent Enough to Read
These are books I've read and thought were pretty good. I don't like stories that try too hard to look cool. Substance matters, and the plot has to make sense. The author matters too, of course. I'm in a reading slump lately. If you've come across any good books, please recommend them. Thanks! So many books on the charts lately are comedy stories full of silly characters, or shallow wish-fulfillment tales about leveling up and fighting monsters. Even the xianxia stories I love have mostly turned
Once Upon a Time
Books I think are good.
Infinite-Flow and Rational-Protagonist Stories

Brief Review
To give a brief review, the first 300 chapters were of very high quality, and the completion rate was quite high for a novel with over 10,000 subscriptions. However, the plot started to fall apart from the point where the protagonist was promoted to Dao Li.
The Thirty-Six Transformations and Realms of Taoism
Ninth Rank. Daoist Boy. Fetal Breathing 1. Learning to read and write – enhancing memory 2. Like wolves and tigers, they acquired the power of demonic beasts. 3. Strengthen muscles and bones with copper tendons and iron bones. 4. Cleansing the marrow and controlling blood and qi Eighth Rank. Daoist Disciple. Qi Refining (Part 1)
You underestimated novels with established settings.
This is an underrated novel. The author's writing in the early and middle stages is superb. Unfortunately, while the author tries to develop the female characters' unique traits, once they have sex with the male lead, the story becomes mindless and repetitive, sometimes even excessively so. However, it's much better than other mindless system novels (those novels just mindlessly level up and gain experience). You should rank it in the top 10.
Just venting a little
The author's writing style is so inconsistent with the expectations presented that it's extremely disappointing. The first volume started off quite well. But it went downhill as it went on, completely losing the eerie and fantastical world of cultivation that it had at the beginning. The Yu Lie Yu Bapi, who struggled and plotted his way up from the bottom, is gone; he died in the second volume.
It feels like this formula has been used for a long time. Stop with the repetitive trope of the protagonist joining a faction only to have that faction immediately collapse, wreaking havoc in the Immortal Palace for so long, only to have it resurface, and then the Immortal Palace leader escapes with his sword. What's the point of writing that? Just to give the protagonist a bonus? There's no need.
The Peach Blossom Fan, Lament for Jiangnan I once saw the orioles singing in the golden palace of Nanjing at dawn, and the flowers blooming early on the pavilions of the Qinhuai River. Who knew they would so easily melt away like ice! I watched as he built his magnificent mansion, watched as he entertained his guests, and watched as his mansion collapsed!

Seen on Douyin
This book is a typical example of a book that starts strong but ends weak. It has a stunning beginning, but the cultivation gradually becomes formulaic. When the Blackwater Taoist kills the Terror Lizard and goes to the county city, it becomes increasingly padded.
It started in Blackwater Town...
After leaving Blackwater Town, it's a journey of domineering heroism, showing off... Getting slapped in the face... Doing sex everywhere, and being ruthless. The most outrageous part is that earlier they said how important the master is, that all his family property would be left to the disciple, and how much respect he should show...
