Top Picks! Great Writing, No Beginner-Level Prose
This list collects quality novels with polished writing and plots that avoid the usual clichés, as well as some classic older works! Those classics will naturally have flaws if judged by today's standards, so if you're just looking to nitpick, don't bother. I'll occasionally reorganize the list based on title length and publication date.
Dreams of the Great Void: Games
The Great Void has no path, yet even dreams have their bounds. Zhuangzi loses himself in the butterfly's shadow; flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water tilt askew. When the false is taken for true, the false becomes true; when nothing becomes something, something returns to nothing. See through the three thousand worlds of mortal life, and you will know that I am the pivot of the Dao.
Classics in My Book
Vivid characters, never childish Removed from the list: The Rise of the Main God, The First Ancestor in History, The Great Dao Contends, Eternal Sword Master, Dao Fruit, The Immortal Path of Theft, The Great Emperor of Truth, Venerable of the World, The Era of the Overlord, Writing Novels Made Me Invincible, The Pre-Qin Multiverse Empire, The American Sitcom Life, The First Wizard, Sweeping Across the Myriad Worlds, and Projections of the Heavens (only one book per author)
The Worry-Free Bookshop: Quality Reads Online, Guaranteed, Worth Owning!
The books I've read over the years. Now my reading list is mine to make. Maybe I've been reading for a long time and have been through a lot, so formulaic stories have started to feel boring. These days, I prefer novels that break the mold. I also want to share some books I think are good (PS: at least half are widely recognized classics) with all of you!

It took me a few days to see the updates, and for me, there are a few main issues. 1. I mostly skipped around when it started about the Shinto, and it only got interesting when it got to the part about making money by teaching swordsmanship in the City That Never Sleeps. I've never seen a book that got really popular when it talked about things like incense and vows.
Author, please stop writing romance scenes; you don't have the talent for it.
Reader: Do you consider yourself an emotional expert? Salted Fish: I believe I am! Reader:…
This article summarizes and reviews Xianyu's previous works and predicts the prospects of this work.
I was following the updates today and saw that Xianyu's updates have become unstable again. As a long-time reader who has followed many of his books, I'd like to review Xianyu's works and make a prediction about whether this one will have a stable ending. First, let's take a look at the author's works, which exceed one million words:
The author is talented, with passable writing skills, excellent fight scenes, and sufficient knowledge, but lacks achievement. He manages to turn all the satisfying moments that should be in a proper online novel into frustrating ones, including but not limited to the underground foundation building, the foundation building competition, and cutting off one's own path forward. His thought process is truly unique.
The beginning of this book felt inferior to Taihao; it was all fighting and killing from the start with little plot, and the protagonist didn't have any interesting interactions with the other characters.
The updates are short, but the pacing is really messed up. In your original world, there's a great purge every thousand years, and most people, even those who have reached the Golden Core stage, don't know about it. The major sects have their own lineages, which means that Huang Longzi and his group weren't the first, second, or even third generation cultivators over the past thousand years.
I've always believed that a true genius is someone who has achieved a level of skill and mastery that others have reached through countless rare and precious resources, laying a solid foundation! A true genius only needs to use a fraction of the resources others possess to become more powerful, reach a higher level, and have a deeper foundation!
Let me preface this by saying that I've followed your wizarding novels, read "Super Martial Arts Apocalypse," and even criticized you when you were writing fantasy novels, for which I was subsequently banned. This time, I'm offering my most sincere advice.
Your power system is very well written, but you're missing a crucial element: the genres you write, like Xianxia novels. You only see the power system in the mid-to-late stages, but the basic logic is quite chaotic. That's why I stopped writing that knight novel when the protagonist was cultivating the Solar Breathing Technique.
How could the underground foundation building method be a problem?
I've seen many readers in the comments section expressing their dissatisfaction with the underground foundation building aspect, considering it a flaw. I understand everyone's dissatisfaction. If you choose something inferior over something good, that's understandable. People come to read lighthearted stories, and if you make me unhappy, I'll definitely curse you out.
The Lin family's top-tier cultivation technique, created over a thousand years with the combined efforts of the entire clan? So authentic? Isn't the Lin family just a bunch of clowns? The distinctions in foundation building discussed in this book are not simply different methods of foundation building! They also affect one's foundation and future cultivation.
