I've been reading for about ten years, growing from a rookie into a jaded old reader. I hope I can share some books I've loved with fellow fans.
Fable Reading List
I recommend whatever I enjoy, from both male- and female-oriented fiction. Some books were recommended by coworkers, while I found others myself. The list owner has a bad case of laziness and can't be bothered to type. Feel free to criticize if you don't like it. I'm thick-skinned anyway.

Recommended Online Novels About Games
Recommendations for game-themed novels I think are good. I lean toward stories with supernatural elements or virtual reality. I don't like books about games played in the real world, such as League of Legends, so I won't recommend any of those. Three stars means a decent read for when you're out of books, four stars means a great read, and five stars means an absolute gem.

I finished reading the free version, and my opinion is pretty much the same as most of the comments. The author often leaves plot holes and then forgets about them. The protagonist's biggest advantage at the beginning was his unique talent, the Morning Star, which he refreshed by sacrificing a life.
I must say, it's quite amazing. Recently, many novels in the text-based genre have followed the "main character" formula—infinite resurrections, trading lives for exploration progress. This book, however, undeniably offers something new, almost completely breaking free from the "main character" mold. The plot is also quite interesting. However, the power system feels somewhat incomplete.
I really don't believe that another newcomer in the organization can keep up with the protagonist's speed, even if she is a woman, unless the author gives her a cheat code.
Every time the battle begins, the author provides a set of comparative data, but the attribute points for leveling up are not added. As a result, the protagonist struggles to fight anyone in the early stages, and later on, the author simply stops adding attribute points for leveling up. Wow, author! Anyway, we don't need to look at attributes anymore, the protagonist can beat anyone, right?
Luo Qing looks something like this (AI-generated image).
Honestly, reading this book is incredibly frustrating. Knowing so much information, yet refusing to exchange it for resources or share it, leaving the organizations that helped them to turn a blind eye. If they're extremely selfish, they could at least exchange resources for development! Instead, they say nothing, yet still have the strength to develop, which is incredibly frustrating.
Why write it like this when the protagonist's most important talent is given to him by someone else? What's the benefit of writing about a mysterious old man? It suddenly feels like the writing has become weak...
Some parts are odd, the sentences are grammatically incorrect, and that's only a small part of it. The real problem is that the protagonist realizes the game is mortally dangerous, so why isn't he saving up attribute points? Also, why doesn't he wear the clothes that can hide his appearance all the time, instead of only wearing them when he needs to?
The later scenes felt a bit too typical. And are all the higher-ups women? Basically, they're all witches...?
What's this stuff that goes on at the end? It gets more and more boring. In the end, I just keep clicking on the table of contents, and I don't even have the urge to subscribe. It's a classic case of starting strong but ending weak.
