An Old Reader's Collection, Updated Irregularly
I've been reading web novels for over a decade. The first one I read was Kunlun, in a wuxia magazine. This list recommends novels of all genres, with short reviews.
A 20-Year Veteran Reader's Bookshelf: Picks as the Mood Strikes
(Ugh, the System is acting up and messing with my reviews. Just bear with me. If a review doesn't match the book, the System mixed it up with another one.) I read all kinds of books, and I've read so many that my standards keep rising. So this list won't rely only on traditional ratings. I'll take a different approach and assess each book's readability from several angles. 1. Premise: A clever, original premise can make up for plenty of flaws. You can put up with them and keep reading. 2. Logic:

I've been subscribing and wanted to share a few personal thoughts. When it comes to storytelling, it's impossible to please everyone. An author should have a core principle—broadly speaking, dreams and aspirations; more specifically, the ability to stay true to oneself. But what's the current situation? Fluctuations in subscriptions immediately make me feel there's a problem with my writing.
I've been watching this for a while but I just don't understand the purpose of constantly assassinating the Qing Dynasty emperor. Since they're going to travel to other worlds anyway, what's the point of all this assassination?
Is it a journey of assassins in the world of martial arts, or a wandering tour of martial arts worlds?
The protagonist's name looks increasingly strange; it sounds like the name of a eunuch. Huang Sixi! Eunuch Huang!
Whether to save or not is not the core issue; the core issue is the protagonist's character design.
Whether to save or not is actually both feasible, the key is to have a logical loop and be consistent with the protagonist's character. The author must clearly define what kind of protagonist they want to create, their personality, and their qualities. The protagonist's behavior must be consistent with their character design.
How to write it in the future
It's so hard to write wuxia these days. All the genres have been explored by predecessors, making innovation difficult and limiting the potential. The protagonist's overpowered abilities can easily become invincible, so how can you write about them later? How many stories can you even write? Focusing solely on the wuxia world doesn't seem promising for the future.
Aside from the first world, where are the assassins we were promised? Doesn't this seem like a mismatch between the story and the reality?
The female lead in Reign of Assassins is truly awful and unlikable.
Why save a female assassin? Is it because you want to restore her original beauty? Now you're arranging a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario. Should you try to counsel her later, or are you going to arrange for her to sleep with you for counseling? I don't see what's so appealing about her. Does she think she can just quit being an assassin and become a saint overnight? Why did they have to include this part?
This is my most successful investment so far, 😄
Well, the early parts were quite enjoyable to watch, but then things started going awry in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, with the protagonist often acting inexplicably.
