[Qinghong's Book Recommendations] Please Follow
I’ve been reading on Qidian for quite a while and have recommended quite a few books. I hope my recommendations can help everyone. PS1: Feel free to leave recommendations in the comments. PS2: Please like, bookmark, and send flowers! PS3: Every time I add a book, it gets checked. It’s such a pain; there are so many words I can’t use anymore. I don’t even want to write reviews. I’ve subscribed to every book on this list before recommending it, so I’m backing them with my own actions. One last PS

Smart, Logical Reads
I’ve been reading Qidian for 21 years, and now I’ve realized there are more great books, but also more junk. Good books are harder to find. I’m keeping track of some interesting ones.
Reading Slump Relief Station

The pace is too fast, it's aesthetically tiring 🙂. People from both worlds are constantly thinking about killing the protagonist 🙂. Every time the protagonist breaks through the current power ceiling and wants to cultivate, a new ceiling is set to destroy him. The protagonist is almost at the Divine Martial level in just a few months. Logically speaking, his cultivation speed is incredibly fast.

This book is excellent so far. The protagonist is both loyal and sharp-witted, neither a pushover nor a hypocrite, and lacks the sleazy and greedy nature often found in contemporary time-travel stories. The logic and cause-and-effect relationships in his character development and martial arts training are clearly explained, making for a very enjoyable read.
Hmm, the other world is full of struggles, and this world is full of conspiracies and intrigues. One event after another, and the time span is too short, it feels a bit too rushed. The time could be extended a bit.
I just want to ask, why not let the mirror be restored? So many chapters have passed with all these unexpected events, and the mirror fragments are still scattered everywhere. Doesn't he care about the protagonist's cheat-like abilities?
There was absolutely no need to keep anything secret.
Humanity is facing a life-or-death crisis, and everyone is trying to cope by modifying humans. Spreading martial arts and replacing modified humans is a way to gain status, benefits, and support from those in power. As for the fear that the teachings might not be passed down to the right person, that's a complete joke. How could anyone else possibly train to surpass the protagonist?
There's more and more nonsense coming out of nowhere. Now there's this person from another world, and some kind of Samsara Palace—isn't that just a main god? Before, there was this guy who could travel to other worlds as a disciple of the Demon Suppression Sect. He's got some nerve. Can you handle him?
Too rushed, enemies come one after another without interruption, look how tired we are.
The author's writing on Chinese martial arts is first-rate. Hopefully, his combat strength won't skyrocket too much. His fighting prowess is about at the level depicted in the TV series "Storm Riders"; any higher and it'll collapse again.
Keep it up! I'm not worried about your action scenes, but I hope you can improve your romantic scenes. Don't be a harem character, but please don't be impotent or sexually dysfunctional either.
The tension between the two realms is too great; it'll get tiresome.
