I've Never Found Another Book as Stunning Since
I like books that have something distinctive about them. No books that are too padded or have protagonists with laughably low intelligence. Not every book can be perfect, but we can still look forward to the things that make each one stand out.
Currently Ongoing
I mostly read fantasy about wizards, Infinite Flow, xuanhuan, and xianxia. Most of my current recommendations are new works, so I hope readers with similar tastes will recommend books they enjoy. Several new authors' books I was following have all been abandoned. It's so frustrating. ╮ (╯_╰)╭ I can only remove them. That's just how writing novels is these days; it's not easy for anyone. I hope those authors have brighter prospects ahead. My favorite authors include Wen Chao Gong, Jing Ke Shou, G

Since someone actually reads these, I’ll give them a proper introduction. This is a purely subjective list, so don’t get hung up on the ratings. /Selection criteria: Promising new books, by big-name authors or newcomers alike. I only care whether I like them. I’ll update my reviews as new books build up a backlog. (Assuming I remember.) A few older books I like (very few). I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date. I’ll specifically mark the ones I’ve forgotte

All Right, Let’s Try Again
I'm in a reading slump. Most of the novels I recommend currently have no female lead, though I'm okay with a single female lead in some cases. "Magic Tower," "Hell's Human Heart," "Servant of Servants," "The Resurrection War: Fighting in the Third Reich," and "Exorcist Celestial Master" have all gone silent. "The Arcane Pinnacle of Online Games" was the second online-game novel I read back then. The first was, of course, "Going Solo in the World," so I put this one here. "A Guide to Raising Drag

The same formula has been used too many times. It's okay at first, but it gets a bit tiresome later on. There should be more formulas to switch things up. Every time, they go to a certain place, immediately cause conflict, kill to demonstrate, and then the younger and older ones come along. No matter how high their level, they always protect their own. It's always the same.
The game immediately changed after leaving the first map of the Divine Treasure Realm. The characters became less intelligent, and the crispness of the protagonist's previous attacks disappeared. Leaving aside the forced suppression of the protagonist's cultivation level, even a Golden Core cultivator's fight against a Qi Refining cultivator felt incredibly tedious.
This issue of Sanjiang features books that survived poison testing but are still groaning. Which one is worth reading?
What's the protagonist's personality like? Is he cold and aloof? Will he be a busybody? Is he a lone wolf? Does he dislike too many women? Women are best left unmentioned.
The author's fantasy style is just right! This book reminds me of Dao Guo. I hope you can recommend it to more people. 🤭
The protagonist seems to have a knack for bad luck; wherever he goes, trouble follows. He beats up the younger ones, and the older ones always show up. He's constantly showing off and fighting. This is trash novel.
I'm curious, why not just say the original owner of this body is dead? Why not just say you're a powerful being using this body to explore the secret realm? Why make such a fuss? Or simply tell them what materials you want and exchange them for cultivation experience. Once your strength has recovered enough, leave the small world and find a way to break through to immortality, wouldn't that be better?
The opening was meticulously crafted, with a novel setting and a fresh start. However, as it progressed, it fell into the common trap of many online novelists: rushing to meet deadlines without polishing their work. It succumbed to the cliché of leveling up, fighting monsters, and changing maps.
Well, it's the kind of story that's neither good nor bad, but not worth keeping. The author's writing is alright, but it feels a bit empty. It would have been more interesting to write about something coming from nothing, but the author couldn't quite capture the psychology of an ancient monster who has lived for hundreds of years. This kind of vagueness easily makes the story boring for readers.
Villains are all cut from the same cloth: confident, then shocked.
