Books Hui Meng Has Been Following Lately
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.
Obscure and Niche Genres
Nonhuman protagonists, protagonists outside the orthodox path, unorthodox cultivation techniques, unusual concepts, and niche genres.
Books Focused on Imagination and Logic
My list mainly recommends imaginative stories with smart characters, and has fewer power fantasies. I also make sure I've read every book on it. Some other books are pretty good too, such as Old Dao's This World Is on the Brink, Riding in Another World, and Half a Frog's From 1935 to 2020. Highly recommended.
Books with Ideas, Creativity, Fun, Dreams, Style, and Soul
I like books that are satisfying to read without being brainless. I read sci-fi, xianxia, gaming, some fan fiction, and urban novels.
Xianxia and Fantasy, All in One Pot
In the Northern Sea lives a fish called Xian... It's so big it won't fit in a pot! The fire roars, the water boils, and the fish leaps into the sky, transforming into a bird called Cai! This rookie bird spreads its wings, gets plucked, and grilled... You'll need two grills, one for cumin and one for mild spice! I've been reading for more than a decade and enjoy sampling all kinds of novels. I'm a lazy fish who loves cultivating immortality and a rookie dreaming of a carefree life. I hope all my
One Book a Day
Every day, I’ll review, ramble about, or recommend a book. Let’s see how long I can keep it up.
A Veteran Author’s New Novel
Most are new books by established authors. As long as they're aimed at a broad readership, the quality should be reliable.

There are very few stories in the "Earth Immortal" genre, otherwise I wouldn't have written one myself. I really enjoy reading niche genres, like the "Earth Immortal" genre, where the protagonist is a magical artifact or a non-human being, or cultivating Gu worms, unorthodox methods, secret techniques, and evil arts. If I find like-minded readers for this next book, I'll focus on writing about this kind of niche subject.
I think one comment is very good: this doesn't seem like an earth immortal, but rather like a corpse-dissolving immortal.
So far, everything seems fine, except for one serious problem: after reading all dozens of pages, I still don't know the specific level of the extraordinary system, especially when there is more than one extraordinary system. The specific examples don't specify how strong the protagonist is, or what kind of enemies they encounter, which is quite frustrating!
After thinking about it, I decided to subscribe to one chapter to curse you. I just want to curse you. I feel so frustrated 😭. Reading about the horned beetle made me feel so uncomfortable. Although we have no connection, you wrote about it, and it still makes me feel bad. I really don't understand you guys. It's just like the beginning of Yuan Zun for me, ugh.
It's true that you can only find good books when they're new. It's so hard to find a book that isn't bad these days. It's the Xianxia genre that I like, and it's also about the Earth Immortal, which is rarely written! Keep up the good work, author! I'm waiting for the day your book is released!
After reading dozens of chapters, it seems like this is just a weapon spirit? And one that could be refined and manipulated at any time, used as a tool. It's only because he's the protagonist; he has a plot armor that he dares to do this. If it were a local, he'd be a 007 by now. 😒😒😒
I once came up with a version of the cultivation setting in my mind. The Great Sun floats in the Chaos Sea, transforming the chaotic spiritual energy within into spiritual energy to supply the world. Cultivators in the world absorb this spiritual energy, but can only prolong their lifespan, not achieve immortality.
I still don't know what the protagonist's cheat ability is. Is it just immortality? Why is it so amazing that he has to create a magical world? Why can't so many powerful beings create one? The protagonist's growth relies on wishing and offering incense, but that disappeared later in the story. Then, he changed his storyline to supporting those with good fortune. Are all powerful beings stupid? Why don't they also seek out those with good fortune? There's just too much mystery surrounding this.
They've definitely changed people. What kind of nonsense is that?
I'm really upset that such a good book has been ruined.
