Great Book Recommendations, Fewer Reading Slumps
Books with lots of subscribers: urban, light novels, and historical fiction~ A step above newbies, but not quite a veteran reader~ These are my personal opinions, so please don't take offense~ My ratings are only: Solid pick (has something going for it) Must-read (really good) I'm out of things to read. I've dropped so many books halfway through~

I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade.

A list of books that suit my personal tastes, including some I dropped for various reasons along the way. I've been reading on Qidian for years, first for free and then as a paying reader. I honestly don't think a book's quality can be judged by its performance. Just look at the poorly written filler cluttering the charts. Finding a novel I can actually stick with is pretty hard. I hope this very personal list can be of some help to anyone struggling to find something to read. P.S. I like wuxia

A few days ago, each had been nothing more than an outline of a thousand or so words.

[Fan activity] The dream of the little Taoist priest
People often say that this person has to travel thousands of miles to know all difficulties, understand everything, and become an immortal. But there are always surprises in any words, such as our Song You. At first he also heard such words and wanted to go down the mountain to practice. But after going down the mountain for a long time, he found that this was not the case. He had also seen many people and many things. Until he encountered that thing yesterday, he suddenly became confused as to why he went down the mountain. Yesterday he arrived in that small town. In order to pay homage to the Five Zang Temple, he went to the best restaurant and ordered a few side dishes. Just when he was about to have a feast, he found a scholar-looking man standing up and yelling at another Taoist-looking man, which instantly attracted the attention of many people. Soon they figured out the reason from their conversation. It turned out that the Taoist priest was a demon. He wanted to trick the scholar into going to his dojo and rob him of his luck and money. The scholar is also very smart, leading him here to deliberately have an argument, so that everyone can take down this evil way. The demon was about to fight, but the scene just happened. The scholar was not a vegetarian. After scolding the demon, he quickly took action and attracted justice in the world. He used Confucianism to wipe out the demon's centuries-old Taoist practice, and said the words that left Song You in a trance until now. "Everyone practices Taoism to save the common people, but you, the demon Taoist, actually make things with those monsters and use it to steal people's luck. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?!" The demon Taoist had nothing to say, and he couldn't speak either. After coughing a few times, he disappeared. At that moment, Song You felt the auras of more than a dozen practitioners, and wanted to swallow up what was on the demonic path. It was a pity that the scholar took it and met the scholar in a ruined temple shortly after Song You left. He encountered a little demon causing trouble, and Song You saw the scholar sleeping soundly. Then he took action to fight back the little demon. The scholar woke up the next day, left a letter and the demon's wealth and left. The letter said: He knew that a little demon appeared last night, and he even knew that he had stopped it, so to show his sincerity, he gave him this family fortune, hoping it would be helpful to him. But I also hope that he can face his own path of cultivation and not follow in the footsteps of the demon. Finally, he was given an opportunity. The demon's dojo was a hundred miles away in Xuanyue Mountain. If he thought he had the ability to resist the temptation, he could go there. If not, we can discuss it later. At this time, after Song You had had enough wine and food, he sat on the top of the mountain and thought about all this, and began to wonder where his path was? What should he do? Recalling the memories, he remembered the scholar's words, the scene when the scholar used Confucianism and Taoism, and the scene when people saw justice coming. Although at this moment he was insisting on where his path was, at that moment he seemed to have found his direction again. Thinking about it, he fell asleep. In his sleep, he remembered the scene when he was on the mountain and the words he often asked his master. "Master, Master, what is Tao?" "Master, Master, why do we practice?" "Master, Master, are there really immortals in this world?" "Master, Master..." At that time, his master had already told him those truths, but he just thought that those words were just deceptions to lull him to sleep and were not true. But now, he knows he was wrong. Going down the mountain for training was his master, and it was also the most important decision he made. He saw a lot and watched a lot along the way. Slowly, he began to understand the true meaning of some of his master's words, and he also began to understand that the world was not as simple as he thought. Early the next morning, Song You stood up and looked at the sun rising slowly in the distance. Song You knew with certainty in his heart that the way he had walked down the mountain to uphold justice and uphold justice was his way, and it was also the way he wanted to cultivate. The next step is to head towards Xuanyue Mountain!
Summer in Changjing
The summer wind is a bit hot and dry, making people just want to stay at home under the shade of the trees. Ordinary people don't have the luxury of waiting for better days. They still have to work in the fields under the scorching sun. The happiest thing is to come home after a long day's work. My wife and children have already prepared meals. All I have to do is drink a ladle of well water first. It's extremely cool. Of course, Taoist priests and Sanhua Empress are not included in this list. Even in the scorching summer, they can still stay at home reading and writing leisurely. At this time, the signboard to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons in front of the house has long been taken down, leaving only the words "get rid of rats and relieve worries". The money Sanhua Empress makes from catching rats is temporarily sufficient for one person and one cat to live in Changjing. Sanhua Empress: This family will be broken up without me, alas! The summer is hot and there is no business of exorcising evil spirits. The Taoist priests have nothing to do but write every day. Sanhua Empress also wants to learn to write. The little girl sat in front of the table and watched the Taoist priest write the word "Xia" for her. "This word is 'summer', the hottest season of the year. Does Sanhua Empress know, we are in summer now." Song You picked up the pen to write, but his eyes were fixed on Sanhua Empress. "Three Flowers Empress knows." The little girl raised her head and looked at Song You, "Taoist, Sanhua Empress wants to learn." Song You smiled slightly and started to CPU Sanhua Empress again: "Sanhua Empress is really smart, then I will write it a few more times. Sanhua Empress will read it carefully, and I will definitely learn it in no time." The little girl stared at Song You with a serious expression: "Sanhua Empress wants to learn how a Taoist priest can write without looking at the paper." "Okay, then Sanhua Empress must first learn how to write this character. Remember the writing method of this character in her heart, and then she can write without looking at the paper. I heard that the most powerful people can write with their eyes closed. Sanhua Empress only needs to practice more. It will be possible in a few months." "Can you write with your eyes closed?" "Yes, Miss Sanhua, do you want to try it?" "I learned the word "hot" yesterday. Did you remember it?" > "Remember." "Sanhua Empress is really a smart cat. No matter how difficult the words are, she can remember them within a day or two." "That's right." Sanhua Empress is also exhausted these days. She has to be busy catching mice at night and secretly practicing writing. This is how the clever cat god character comes about. "Then Miss Sanhua, do you want to close your eyes and write the word 'hot'?" "Yes." The little girl looked serious, picked up the pen but did not dip it in ink, and made a few gestures in the air. "Is Sanhua Empress ready? If you are ready, start. I believe that a smart cat like Sanhua Empress can definitely write it." "Yes." The little girl closed her eyes and slowly wrote the word "hot" one stroke at a time. "Sanhua Empress is really amazing. My master taught me to write this character before, and it took me four days to learn it. I am far behind me." "The little girl yawned, "Taoist, Sanhua Empress wants to sleep. " "Okay, Sanhua Empress will go to rest first, I will take care of it here. " This time she did not use sleep as an excuse to hide away to practice calligraphy. Sanhua Empress was really sleepy, and she changed into her kitten form, ran to Song You, and slowly fell asleep. In fact, Sanhua Empress does not understand the use of Taoist priests' four-season cycle. She only knows that Taoist priests are warm in winter and cool in summer. Sanhua Empress felt that this was much easier to use than the air conditioner the Taoist said. The kitten rubbed its eyes and got up, just in time to see the Taoist priest walking in with a bowl. "What is this?" "This is mung bean soup, a good way to relieve the heat in summer." "Is it the same as tea?" "It's just the same color. Do you want to try it, Sanhua Empress?" "Yes." The Taoist priest went out again and filled a bowl of Sanhua Empress's special porcelain bowl. "It doesn't taste good, just like tea." {"TopicId":"1006226817294336000","TopicName":"Summer Ice Drink Party"}
Treat Sanhua Empress to an iced fruit drink!
been been been been been scorched indiscriminately, unknowingly. Song You and Sanhua Empress were walking in a mountain forest. Even if there were trees to block them, they were not in any better condition. Sunlight was constantly shining through the gaps between the leaves, and the road was mottled. The cat was sleeping in the cloth pocket on the horse's back, but the weather was so boring that after a while, it lay down on the horse's back again. "Taoist, how long do we have to go?" Sanhua Empress raised her head and asked the Taoist next to her. "It should take a long time." Song You replied after thinking for a moment. The cat's eyes suddenly widened. When he was on the road, he would come down to play with rats and mice. When he was tired, he would go back to his cloth bag to sleep. Now it is such a hot day that he can't even sleep, let alone play. Cats lose their fun the moment they give birth. Sanhua Empress thought for a while and then looked at Song You: "Then can we stop and rest nearby for a while? The weather is too hot and Sanhua Empress can't bear it." Seeing Mao'er's expectant eyes, Song You couldn't bear to refuse. There was still a long way to go from Changjing and he wouldn't be able to get there for a while. Instead of letting Sanhua Empress suffer so much, it was better to stop and rest for a while, then nodded and agreed. "Then let's rest somewhere nearby for a while." "Okay." Upon hearing that they were no longer on the road, Mao'er immediately became energetic and jumped off the horse excitedly, leading Song You to search for nearby villages. Under the leadership of Xiao Sanhua, Song You led the bay red horse out of the forest not far away, when a small town appeared in front of him. "Taoist, follow quickly." Sanhua Empress turned around and urged the Taoist, and ran happily toward the town with a small rag in her step. It was noon at this time, and there were only a few scattered pedestrians on the street. When they saw the strange combination of Taoist priests, calico cats, and bay-red horses, they all cast surprised glances. Song You led Sanhua Empress to an inn, and after instructing the waiter to place the bay-red horse, he and Sanhua Empress went to the room to stay. After briefly tidying up, Song You lay on the bed and rested. He had not had a good rest for almost a month, and the fatigue on his body made him fall asleep quickly. The same was true for Sanhua Empress. After sniffing the room for a long time and confirming that there were no mice, she jumped on the bed and fell asleep next to the Taoist priest. When one person and one cat woke up, it was already dusk. Listening to the constant hooting sounds outside, Song You got up and went to the window to look outside. I saw that the streets that were empty when I arrived were already filled with various stalls, and the residents of the small town were also attracted, making it very lively. "Taoist, let's go down and take a look." Sanhua Empress also came to the window and was immediately attracted by the scene outside. "Well, let's go see if there's anything to eat." From noon to now, Song You hasn't eaten yet, and his stomach feels empty. There were a lot of people on the street. To prevent the kitten from being stepped on, Song You put Sanhua Empress on his shoulders and started shopping. "Taoist, let's go there and have a look." After he bought himself some naan and some dried meat that Sanhua Empress ate, he was just about to go back when the calico cat on his shoulder pointed to a crowded stall ahead and shouted. Song You curiously walked to the stall and saw the vendor in front of him holding a spoon and constantly scooping out a bucket filled with crushed ice cubes and filling them into the kettles brought by customers. "Taoist, what is in that bucket." The calico cat was a little curious. "Ice cubes will make people feel very cool." Song You looked at this scene and couldn't help but think of the iced drinks he drank in the summer of his previous life. He turned to the cat on his shoulder and said, "Miss Sanhua, do you want to drink it?" After hearing that it would make people feel cool, the cat nodded heavily. Song You took Sanhua Empress to buy fruits and rock candy at other stalls, and then returned to the inn. He put the sliced fruits and sugar into a pot filled with water, and asked Sanhua Empress to use fire magic to boil it up. Song You made ice cubes and simply cast a spell, turning a bowl of water into ice cubes. After the cooked fruit drink cooled down, Song You served a bowl to Sanhua Empress and added the prepared crushed ice cubes into it. "Try to take a sip." Song You said to the curious Empress Sanhua. Sanhua Empress tried to take a sip, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She lowered her head and quickly drank the ice-cold sweet water. "Drink slowly, there is still a lot in the pot." Looking at the calico cat that accidentally choked, Song You laughed helplessly. {"TopicId":"1006226817294336000","TopicName":"Summer Ice Drink Party"}

The Three Flower Empress in My Heart
Help Lao Cui write his Yunding Mountain Chronicles
I really like this story. I know that this kind of Bai Yueguang story may not have good data, and it is not the cup of tea for many young people in Qidian. But I really hope the author keeps writing it. If you don't have any spare time to give a reward, please help Lao Cui write his legendary article. The writing power is not as good as when he was younger, but fortunately Lao Cui also said that he is not very good at writing poetry, so it should be about the same. 🙂 Yunding Mountain Records In the summer of the second year of Mingde, Yu was banished to Shizu County, Pingzhou. Fan Cong sits for a long time, groaning to himself, unable to relax his mind, and failing to apply what he has learned, fearing that it will be lost to everyone. It is difficult to water a block of water. I heard that Mr. Cheng'an passed through Yunding Mountain and met the immortals to drink with him. It was a great pleasure. So he went to Yunding Mountain alone to seek shelter. Yunding is also a famous mountain in Pingzhou. In the old days, people named the peak for its sea of clouds, so they knew its grand scenery. In this dynasty, the name of the immortal was spread widely, and there was an endless stream of visitors seeking it. Now it has just begun to appear. When I reached the mountains, I saw a man. Taoists are from Yunshan, and those who travel around the world come here after hearing the name of Yunding Immortal. I watched the Taoist, wearing a blue robe, and the follower stopped his horse and raccoon ears. His horses follow him without restraint, and his raccoon slaves play freely, as if they understand people's words. Invited to go with him, he asked about the two beasts, and the Taoist said: "Just treat it with your heart." This statement has a very strong flavor. When you first hear it, it is ordinary, but you are very curious about it. You know that people have a way. More than halfway up the mountain, your horizons suddenly broaden. There are clouds all over the sky, autumn leaves in the middle of the mountain, summer under the mountain and autumn on the mountain. The crimson leaves are colorful, the mountain glow is like fire, and I don't know what the trees are for a while, what clouds are there? The grand scenery here is hard to see even with a pen. I and the Taoist people wandered around and forgot to climb. After walking for dozens of steps, I suddenly heard the gurgling water and the chirping of birds. Be still and wait, the sound of wind, leaves, water flow, and birds chirping all come together in harmony. The sound of gold, stone, silk, bamboo and craftsmanship in the human world is difficult to compare with nature. Its sound has lasted for thousands of years. It is not a pleasure to hear it in Nanxi, nor a sadness that no one appreciates it. Sadness and joy are ordinary hearts, not the hearts of heaven and earth. To forget about it is also the heart of Nanxi, not the natural heart and ears. Walking across the stream, the mountains gradually became denser and there was no way. An iron cable runs between the two cliffs. The cliff is more than a thousand feet high. Only the iron cable can reach the cloud valley. There are many people who seek immortals but few encounter them. The iron rope moves in the wind, and sometimes there is a golden sound, which hits the cliff bank and becomes the sound of the piano. There is a wind blowing through the stream, like an ape whistling and croaking. I was still doubtful, and the Taoist and the raccoon slave passed by on the rope. At that time, the wind whined as before but the iron rope remained firm. As we walked far away, the iron rope was hidden in the mountains. The Taoist seemed to be stepping on the rope or on the clouds. It is still difficult to tell. People in the world say that things that must be done must "come when they come", so I and a follower tied a rope and climbed the rope. By the time I reached the halfway point, I was exhausted and could hardly move. The rope moves with the wind, and the deep stream is thousands of feet without any separation. Fighting, Weiwei, shrinking, and uneasiness all come to mind, only then do you know that this is not a ambition and a brave man cannot pass it. With more courage and courage, you can get through it, and you will suddenly be heroic. The Taoist praises: "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong." There is no wiser principle in the world than this, and it has been practiced in vain so far. There are many inscriptions surrounding the mountains, passing through the clouds. But you can see the clouds on the top of the peak, spreading golden light all over, and the scenery of Pingzhou comes into view, while Shizu County is just a bean away. The Taoist closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. Suddenly, the sun rose and the moon set, and the surrounding fields alternated between green and white, which he thought was the Tao. Suddenly the sky light pierced the sea of clouds, and it was early morning. I and my followers were confused. When did they fall asleep yesterday? The way was really dreamy and they had no idea. Other Taoist, I returned from the road and saw that the mountains were not as green as they were yesterday. Encountering a woodcutter, he said that on this day last year, Cui was hiding in the mountains because of the rocks. He suddenly realized that he was dead. Those who first know that immortals are not immortals today are hiding from the world; those who are extraordinary are hiding in the market; those who are not today are the four seasons; seeking to hide is not what you are looking for, but seek for yourself. Cui Nanxi in Xuzhou knows today.
