Sixteen Years of Recommending Only the Best
I've read countless books. Once, I chased quantity and quick thrills, reading everything from famous authors to newcomers. But the true masters gradually disappeared, and bland books became endless. Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,

Books I've Collected and Finished, and That Left an Impression (Mostly Complete)
From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of things have moved me, and all kinds of books have touched my heart. Was it the books that moved me, or did I happen upon them at just the right time? Since starting work, I haven't had much time to read. I pick up books here and there, in little fragments, so the emotions never really build or linger. I've still finished a few, though. I'll make time to catch up on the good ones.

Books I’ve Enjoyed Over the Past Twenty Years, Updated Whenever
For twenty years, I only read books without keeping any records. When I was in school, I read pirated copies, and afterward I had no notes to refer to. Later, I switched to official editions, but completed books were taken down. Sometimes I would try to remember what I had read and could not recall them for a while, so I made this booklist to record some books I thought were good.

Those who write wuxia fanfiction should really learn from how "Sword Out of Hengshan" is written—how it develops the protagonist's personality, how it writes romance, and how it grabs the reader's attention. That book, aside from being slightly slow-paced in the beginning, far surpasses this one in the mid-to-late stages. It's arguably the best wuxia fanfiction to date.
Writing martial arts novels without copyright protection can lead to millions in damages, potentially a lifetime's earnings. "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is a very famous IP, unlike obscure ones like "A Deadly Secret." Popular adaptations like "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" are usually TV series adaptations… TV series copyrights are quite expensive.
Two major flaws in this book
I've been wanting to read this book for almost half a year, and I just finished it. There are two major flaws that I just have to point out. Firstly, the plot unfolds too coincidentally, with the story's progression always relying on extremely accidental encounters.
I see the shadow of old-school martial arts.
Reading the latest chapter, "Reunion with an Old Friend," suddenly reminded me of my junior high school days when I first encountered Feng Ge's works, *Kunlun*, *Canghai*, and *Lingfei Jing*. They filled my young self with fervor, and the annotations and comments from classmates made the words feel just like those of us in our youth.
People often get hung up on names; if you want to know why, look up this book of cautionary tales.
This is also a fanfiction of *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*. It reached the top ten on the entire site during its serialization. Its original title was *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: Dragon Battles the Eight Desolations*, but even after changing the name, it didn't work because the character names weren't changed.
Seeing the use of poetic lines like "A Dream of Pure Dreams Overwhelms the Milky Way" to force a female lead into the story was truly unbearable, and I'm not planning to read any further. I can accept a single female lead or even no female lead at all; the martial arts world and the world of romance are two different things.
I felt it was just average. I don't know why the comments section is praising it so much. The plot is a bit wordy, the fight scenes aren't very concise, and there are all sorts of internal monologues and dialogues while fighting. It's also a bit padded. I can only say it's watchable, but it's not as good as some people say. This is just my personal opinion, so please don't criticize if you disagree.
Good martial arts
It's been over a decade since the "Ancient and Modern Wuxia" series. Old Gun, feel free to write as much as you want, I'll subscribe to every single one.
The Five Immortals Sect storyline is utterly nonsensical.
A perfectly respectable, righteous hero is turned into a public bus. Given the protagonist's high-class status, the story should be filled with jealous rivalries and power struggles among the female warriors, creating a dramatic and entertaining atmosphere. Instead, he drugges them all and sleeps with them, instantly ruining his image.
The protagonist dies from poisoning in the third chapter. The story begins with his parents and family being hunted down. After everyone else dies, the protagonist kills one person and is saved by the Emei sect leader. Then, the protagonist immediately starts acting all smug and ingratiating. I just want to ask, your entire family just died, and you show no sadness at all?
