A Quiet Harbor in This Restless World
🦝 Recommending novels I enjoy and am currently following. 🦊 These are the genres I mainly enjoy: fan fiction, cultivation, historical fiction, light novels, showbiz, and mystery-solving. 🐰 I tend to favor fresh, relaxing, easygoing stories with sound values and a touch of absurd humor, as well as other kinds of traditional feel-good fiction, rather than toxic feel-good drivel. 🦭 When I have time, I'll write more detailed recommendations. When I don't, I'll just add a quick recommendation. I'l

If you're running out of things to read, give these a try. I'll add recommendations now and then. Most are urban stories with male leads from a variety of professions. Please don't send me flowers unless there's an event. They're no use otherwise, and it's a waste of money. Don't send flowers when there's no event! Even though it isn't my money, it still breaks my heart. I'm exhausted. I just realized you need 500 followers before you can change your title. Hahaha, finally hit 500~ ( ̄▽ ̄)~ The

My idea of maturity was "independence, self-reliance, composure, and a balanced approach to things." The author's idea of maturity was "obedience, calling parents in case of trouble, killing someone with a single curse, killing someone who blocks the way." The Situ family was reduced to only two or three members, and the protagonist, in a fit of rage, briefly expressed anger. 6
Women with close relationships to the protagonist either disappear or are given away, while the romance between a minor character is given away in several filler chapters. Even a random passerby like Guan Shanyue gets several filler chapters before dying. Various brothers and prodigies are also killed off.
I subscribed to the whole thing and then saw the mass grave scene in Blood City. What's the difference between the protagonist and the sleepwalker? Initially, the protagonist brought the mountain god to the City God, was used by the Funeral Temple, but didn't care. The Situ family was gone, but he didn't care either; he just opened a shop and played around.
The premise is good, but the plot progression is a mess, and the fight scenes are even worse.
You're clearly a born ghost. How could a ghost who turned from a human not accept that her son is human?
Hmm, it's not good; the description and the main text don't match. The synopsis made me think it was about a ghost mother raising a human child, showcasing the deep bond between mother and child from different races. Later, the protagonist used his special ability to protect the ghost mother in this chaotic world overrun by demons and monsters in order to repay her kindness in raising him.
I've seen many comments expressing discomfort and dissatisfaction with the protagonist's initial actions. I also felt uncomfortable while watching; rationally, I understand, but emotionally, I felt disgusted. Later, I realized it might be because I felt more sympathy and identification with the ghost mother at the beginning.
The pig is more important than the main character Damn, if the ghosts here are so powerful, then you should just change your perspective. Ghosts are the mainstream here, and humans are just animals. He does absolutely nothing, his meager energy is like a dead pig frantically consuming feed. It's a good thing his mother isn't very fertile, so we can't just feed him directly. This thing is outrageous! It's surrounded by ghostly energy points, and it thinks it's not good enough for itself.
Well, what can I say? A perfectly good time-travel story had to be ruined by pinyin and Earth-based predecessors. It felt like being force-fed a huge mess. Sigh. What a waste of a good book. Looking forward to the next one. Until we meet again.
The true protagonist of this book is Liu Shen, not Liu Bai; Liu Bai's portrayal is unremarkable.
