These are the web novels I’ve enjoyed the most personally, the absolute cream of the crop. Taken as a whole, their logic, plot progression, worldbuilding, character development, and other aspects are all exceptionally solid, and each one has its own standout strengths and truly brilliant moments. They’re not formulaic stories either: you can clearly feel the care their authors put into polishing every word. Some I saved while listening to audiobooks, while others I read on Qidian.

Excellent Books: A Reading Guide from an 18-Year Veteran
These are novels with promise and real merit. If you're picky, come take a look.
💥Dark, Cold, Ruthless, and Rational: No Female Lead or One Female Lead💥
I mainly recommend novels with no female lead, a single female lead, or a cool, ruthless protagonist who isn't an idiot. Mm-hmm, the list owner is a bit of a slacker, so updates are irregular.
Only the Readable Stuff
The point of this list is to pick out some fresh, original works from this sea of formulaic stories and studio-produced books. Think of it as a filter. I can’t promise they’re great, but at least they’re readable. I mainly look for something fresh, and only recommend stories whose plots suit my tastes. I’ll rate them later.
[Dark, Ruthless, No Goody-Two-Shoes, Never Forget Your Roots]
Dark stories, faux-dark, mildly dark, ruthless, rational, cool-headed, scheming, trope-subverting, and multiverse stories.
Recommendations to Suit My Taste (Ongoing Series Only)
🌟 The taste is mixed, please read clearly the description, whether there is a female protagonist, whether there is any benefit, and there is also a CP book 🌟🌟Two stars usually means the book will be in short supply before reading again I wanted to quit the world at the beginning Not well-dressed holy roman empire Fictional reasoning (like the heroine) I'm in Tokyo Crusu The Bourne Supremacy Monsters will die if they are killed Ruins of the past Incredible mountains and seas Foundation Game time

My native family was very unsatisfactory. My father worked hard outside and my mother abandoned me. Only my aunt was willing to raise me. My aunt supports two families, four elderly people, and two children, which is extremely stressful. Her spirit was tortured, and her body was trapped in many complicated affairs, such as being stuck in a quagmire, becoming ill from overwork, suffering from severe anxiety, and prone to extreme thoughts. Her childhood was filled with cynicism and contempt. Her academic qualifications are not high, so she couldn't help me except for daily chores after I entered high school. I am an idiot. In junior high school, I could still achieve some results by listening carefully. But when I reached high school, this method no longer worked. I tried my best in class but could not keep up with the talented people. Others could understand it in five minutes, but I needed to meditate hard for half an hour. My grades are getting worse and worse. I got a "high score" of 44 points in the math test. But fate likes to play tricks on me. Whenever I give up on myself and don't take the exam seriously, I can make some pitiful progress. My family was just farmers, with a terrible lack of thinking. My aunt was extremely disappointed with me. She found all kinds of behaviors on my part that were not in line with her wishes and criticized them, thinking that they were the main culprits of my failure and that I didn't work hard enough. I have tried to struggle, believe in those chicken soups, drink coffee every day to make myself excited, write papers in the middle of the night until 2 a. M., And prick my thighs with needles when I feel sleepy in class. I force myself to do all kinds of things that others think are right. I am eager to get honors, I am eager to prove myself, I am eager to slap those who look down on me in the face, and proudly tell them that I am better than you. The reality is not like this. Just like Kaido's thunderous gossip hit a soldier on the head, I got 44 points in math, and my score ranking was at the bottom. The indisputable roars of my family, the unabashed taunts from some classmates, and the overt and covert sarcasm from my teachers all hit me like raindrops. I collapsed, I gave in, I was a fool, I couldn't do it. I started reading novels in class, and I started messing around. As long as I looked carefree in front of others, others would know that I had no intention at all. In this way, I could make an excuse for poor grades: I didn't study, if only I had learned. . . . Use this ridiculous statement to protect my humble self-esteem. I began to feel that I was inferior to others in everything. I was frail and skinny. When I went to the toilet, I had to peek at others to see if I was shorter than others. I fell into the valley of abjection and could perish at any time. But I was lucky enough to meet Model Fang. He said that what limits a person's achievements is often not talent, but thinking. He said that you should go your own way and let others be disappointed and incomprehensible. His behavior is always contrary to my thoughts. He always does things that a good kid like me who has been obedient since childhood cannot do or even imagine. From Sanwang Mountain, to Wangting Blessed Land, to Yitian Mountain, upstream to the Heavenly Palace. His persistence shocked me, especially the appearance of the character Tao Zhu that made me burst into tears. I was very naive, and I was moved by reading an online novel. It changed my three views, and changed my way of thinking and behavior. But I have never looked at myself and understood myself as deeply as I did that day. I was shocked to realize the poverty of my thoughts. When I was not talented enough, I put a big shackle on my thoughts. I was hesitant in doing things, timid, and always afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses. I began to face up to my shortcomings, started to be bold in doing things, and used all methods that did not violate the law to improve my grades. I clung to the top students, made friends, flattered teachers, and used the power of others to suppress those who had ridiculed me and now want to continue to disgust me. I began to understand myself clearly, set reasonable goals and plans for myself, persisted, and finally got admitted to an ordinary first-class school. My family found it unbelievable, and some relatives were even recommending me which technical school was better before the exam. I am just a childish person, I am a person with poor ideas, I am an obedient and honest person, so I wake up when I read an online novel. Whether you say that I made up a story, you insult me, no one reads my long article, or you say that I am a devil, I accept it. But the kindness this book has shown me is real, and the changes it has made in me are real. I just want to express it, I just want to say thank you loudly, and I just want to do this!
"I never give up, I insist on persisting!"
I should be the one who manipulates emotions and makes all living beings surrender
I wish you all the best as you go on your own life path
The devil's wheel is destroyed by itself The virtuous generation of Chang Shike The lonely cloud wanders around forever Melancholy and dissatisfaction in life.
"Xiangong Kaiwu" is a supporting building!
There are too many book lovers who want to play a supporting role. Everyone can write down their own creativity in this building, which is not limited to characters, institutions and creations, power organizations, natural materials and earthly treasures, power system settings (supernatural powers and techniques), humanistic stories, world maps, etc. In the future, I will select some good ideas that are more in line with the book "Xian Gong Kai Wu". Sometimes I will make some changes as appropriate, so I hope you understand.
Come on, real people. The daily quotation check-in floor is being updated...
Congratulations to the real person for getting the Twelve Heavenly Kings of 2024. This is the annual ring I wrote to the real person 🌹 Spring and Autumn pass by at night, and the edges of the water droplets are slightly damaged; I have just smelled the wind and frost for the first time, but I have never realized how difficult it is to persevere. The body is not strong enough to stand up to the sky and the earth, but the heart also has the whole world in mind; It is allowed five hundred days and nights, and it is difficult to deduce the nature of eternity. I once complained that the sky was not fair to me, but I still had ambitions that half-hidden my intentions. The winter is not as cold as the summer, but it is a pity that the age is no longer enough. The first month does not change the frosty years, and the remaining days are lingering in the evening. The world is ups and downs, and everything becomes empty. Having a will in one's heart but not knowing one's identity will only leave regret and emotion when the morning flowers appear; there will be a dilemma in having a will in one's mind but far away from the road. How can a wise man be wise? How can a fool be so foolish? But timing and timing. Weeds in the world are not single branches, so why complain about this life; Striving for the truth in everything, never regret your youth. All living beings have no appearance, and the spiritual platform has no two minds; Passengers are not grass and trees, so how do you know that there is no teacher. Crossing the river is wet, and crossing the bridge has its own method; Gathering the shortcomings of all living beings, we can make them strong. This is the annual ring written to the real person today (2024.5.30) (Sorry, I'll come back again if I say it wrong) 💀 The young man is full of enthusiasm, singing all the way, and his heart is suddenly cold; Five years are like a hundred years, regaining the youthful heart of Yuanmeng; Now the immortal workers are not alone, and the five hundred allied troops have crossed the river. Afraid of winter and fond of spring, blunt but unfavorable, rusty but not bright, and decayed by time. The world without sorrow or worry is like floating clouds, and when disaster strikes, it is just a fish waiting to be slaughtered; Where to go? When you strengthen yourself, you should not face danger and be strong; Don't be content for a moment, and be the leader of your family. Life is only a hundred years old, and the haze covers the building; Even if you go to high places, don't worry about difficulties. The villain laughs and disturbs others, but his heart is like a mountain; The building will be recast with all his heart, and it will be as high as the tall building thousands of feet high. … I just want to make a few sentences, please comment (if you have anything you want to write, you can say it, I will just write a few sentences when I have time)

"Xiangong Kaiwu" poetry collection (the first volume is finally finished, it's time to post this post)
[1. Chapter 15: The Dharma Bell] The mechanism fire monkey leaps into the lava, and the cold iron armor breaks through the dawn frost. Buddhas and demons hide deep in the heart of the seal, and the fairy palace shakes and sees the light of day. The roar of the Taoist bell spreads the new method, and the rhythm of the five elements is naturally intimate. Cultivate to the end and return to the root, remove the blockades and break the locks freely! [2. Chapter 102: Yuan Dasheng vs. Meng Chong (Second Battle)] When you first hold the fire ball, it is like a heart of gold, and your heart is dancing and tumbling at will. The armor of blazing flames rose up, and the red color flowed to protect the whole body. [3. Chapter 137: Lord, the end is coming! Even if you are let down, your ambition will remain unyielding, and your righteous bones will be strong and strong. I have gone through life and death with spirituality, and I have returned only because of my righteous deeds! [4. Chapter 172: "Clouds Falling at the End of the World"] I am a person in the Xianyun Dao, but my nature has gone against the sky and fallen into the mortal world. I once practiced cultivation in Tiangui Mansion, and was plagued by bad luck. [V. Chapter 179: Read it again and become a person of books] When I was young, I laughed at the commonplace while reading, but now I read it and become a person of books. The world in the book is about external affairs, and I cherish the vastness of the paper! [6. Chapter 266: I want to light this fire with my own hands! This heart is open and bright, and I would rather pay for my innocence. Life and death are just a matter of day and night. If you don't change your original intention, you will be in danger forever. [VII. Chapter 298: Two Poems] A single figure is left among the white clouds, and the clouds are drifting away from the mountains and the moon is boundless. We have formed a hundred-year alliance with each other, and our plans are determined by people and heaven. [Eight. Chapter 299: Love is letting go] The golden furnace and red fire refine the soul, and the immortal palace buries the mountain to help the common people. I advise Nanhuang not to be obsessed with anything, the old feelings are gone like smoke. All living beings are suffering, deluded and full of desires, thinking that they are puppets of the Lord. My Buddha is merciful and has great love. Let go of your mental obstacles and achieve your own path. [9. Chapter 305: Prophecy Poems] There are spirits pouring over the gates of the Immortal Palace, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, enemy and friend. The changes in the wind and clouds are all false, but the immortality is true when you have it at hand. The golden elixir fell and Kong was amazed. The volcano was not harmed when the volcano moved. The adults chase things in the water and the moon in the water, while the juniors compete to determine the world. See your advantage from both sides, wait patiently until the enemy is tired and jump to the top. The gains and losses of good and evil are all in the same mind, and the new ruler will settle the people and fill the old holes. [10. Chapter 309: Jinshan Jade Pillar] Dragon and tiger clashed, the sky and the earth split apart, fists and rulers were raised simultaneously, ghosts and gods were frightened. The martial arts wind of the red ape is thunderous, and the golden general wields his ruler with thunderbolts. When the war reaches its peak, the sky and the earth are dark, and the world is turned upside down and the blood is red. [Eleven. Chapter 327: I insist on being persistent! ! ! The five qi channel the blood and tendons, and the three sects combine to build the foundation. Sixteen years of cold and heat, I have endured it with my heart, and my resolve has deepened even more as I have endured countless hardships. Emotions and reasons are intertwined, and the people bow their heads. Why do we need to solve the deep-rooted inner demons? Persistence will flourish for thousands of years! Beyond the main text "Introduction, acrostic poem (Xian Gong Kai Wu Gu Yue Zhenren)" The immortals channel the secrets of the spirit, and the craftsmanship coincides with the truth. Kaiyu comes out of a new realm, and everything is as beautiful as heaven. The ancient bell transmits the law, and the moonlight dances with clear light. The true body has everything, who can be the enemy in the world! "Chapter 22: Can't bear to bully Ning Zhuo (Thank you [Thank you Gu Yue Fang Yuan] for the golden alliance!)" Twenty years of ancient moon reflects in a new window, Ten years of old friends are like wine. Looking at the changing situation with a smile, Spring and Autumn are waiting for time.

The article always says "Ning Zhuo is not clumsy", but compared with Fang Yuan, can Ning Zhuo really be called "not clumsy"?
When I first read Gu, I was first attracted by the words "dark flow", but when I started to watch it, I had a different feeling. Even just a few dozen pictures in the early stage can quickly catch people's attention. Fang Yuan has his own understanding of everything, such as his calmness about testing out C-level qualifications, his views on his younger brother who stabbed him in the back in his previous life, his contempt and indifference towards the maid Shen Cui, and his uncle and aunt's repeated repayments. Attack, the response to the school elders, clan leaders and others... There is also "The Biography of the Ancestor" that surprised me the most. The first story "The Three Gus of the Ancestor" appeared first in the fifth chapter. When I first read it, it simply brought me an unprecedented surprise. Not to mention dozens of pictures, Gu attracted me in just a few chapters, making me realize that Gu is a unique book, and it also made me feel the unique charm of Gu. What's even more valuable is that Gu showed logical but amazing wits at the beginning. Fang Yuan has always been confident and calm, dealing with crisis after crisis with amazing wisdom, methods or acting skills. This stunning opening made me naturally able to calm down and read, and the fuller images of Fang Yuan and even the supporting characters gradually appeared in front of me as the plot unfolded. Either he easily sees through Jiao San's evil intentions, or he shows his extraordinary abilities calmly, or he hides in the belly of the Wild Boar King with decisiveness and ruthlessness, as well as various understanding and utilization of rules, or he does not hesitate to create the "little bear cake" in order to improve his cultivation and solve the enemy. "Do it"... I saw Fang Yuan's persistence for eternal life, his tenacity in the face of difficulties, setbacks and even failures, his extraordinary wisdom and rare sobriety, and his ruthless behavior... These descriptions are gradually increasing Gu's charm. Fang Yuan can always make different but free choices. This choice may not be the most correct, but it is always charming and the most exciting. But what surprised me even more was that these charming plots were just the foreshadowing before the climax. To this day, I still can't forget the shock when Fang Yuan captured the "Blood Skull Gu", the sophistication when he controlled and used Bai Ningbing, the decisiveness when he gave up the soon-to-be-formed "Second Sky Aperture Gu" and the amazingness when he changed to practice Dingxianyou, the various choices when he captured and managed the Fox Immortal Paradise... There are many unforgettable plots later, but I won't go into details here. In addition to the plot, the creation of the supporting characters in Gu also surprised me. Fang Yuan's many opponents and even more of his defeated generals also have their own charms. Gu is like a real world, where everyone is their own protagonist. Even for a scheming and wise person like Fang Yuan, things may not always develop as he wishes. But every failure of Fang Yuan does not make people feel useless. Whether it is "This sword guard against arrogance and impetuosity" when an important supporting character like Bai Ningbing backstabs, or the collapse of the plan caused by a small person who was once ignored by Fang Yuan, it makes people feel that the world of Gu is more real, and these supporting characters are more vivid. Compared with Gu, Ning Zhuo in this book lacks a lot of charm, and the supporting characters in the book seem to have become tool men who blindly set off Ning Zhuo. It was as if they were not living people in the first place, but just "human life threads" hanging down one by one by the real person, and mechanically controlled puppets to cooperate with Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo is not as sophisticated, alert, and ruthless as Fang Yuan... But Ning Zhuo is always successful, and I can often foresee his success, because the enemies in the book cannot even give Ning Zhuo any sense of oppression at all. When I read Gu, I can often put myself in Fang Yuan's perspective and think about how to break through the situation in front of me, but I often find it extremely difficult and unable to start. This also means that when Fang Yuan or the real person gives this answer, I always feel surprised and excited, but I don't feel the same, or even just similar feelings in Ning Zhuo. I don't know if it's because the real person's level has declined, or because he's unable to perform to his true level due to various restrictions. It has been pointed out many times in this book that "Ning Zhuo is not clumsy", but in my opinion, compared with Fang Yuan, Ning Zhuo is too "clumsy". At this time, many book friends may come out to refute me, telling me that Ning Zhuo is just a precocious child. He does not have Fang Yuan's five hundred years of experience, and does not have the sophistication and ruthlessness of Fang Yuan's reincarnation... But I want to say, no matter what the setting of the protagonist is, isn't writing a charming protagonist what really attracts readers? Perhaps limited by today's increasingly harsh network environment, Ning Zhuo really has no way to be as ruthless and determined as Fang Yuan. But aren't Fang Yuan's qualities such as calmness, sobriety, calmness, wisdom, etc. Also very charming and fascinating? Not to mention that Fang Yuan had revealed his ambition and determination early on, which was to pursue "eternal life". It was this goal, determination and will that ran from beginning to end that later created the shock of "The Immortal regrets but I don't". But for Ning Zhuo, I still don't know what his goal is? What is his lifelong pursuit? It seems that there is only one goal left to him by his mother - "Asgard". This is really far from Fang Yuan's firm will to live forever. If Fang Yuan is a fish swimming against the sky in the upstream river, every time he swims, he will create magnificent splashes on the water, and every time he jumps, he will bloom with dazzling colors under the sunlight. Now Ning Zhuo is just like a small fry that has just hatched from a fish egg, swirling around a relatively bright shell next to him in confusion. The daily plot is nothing more than A practicing, A makes progress, then A beats B, and then B also makes progress, and finally everyone explores the Immortal Palace together, and ultimately returns without success... Similar to Fang Yuan's emotions , there is no way to find the understanding of every thing, every move, every difficulty and obstacle. The feeling of making little plans, accumulating advantages step by step, and finally defeating the powerful enemy at the current stage with a "snake swallowing the elephant" attitude has disappeared without a trace. All of the above really make me feel somewhat disappointed and regretful. I even feel that even if I rewatch Gu, whose plot I already know well, I have more expectations than watching Ning Zhuo now. It can bring me the surprise and amazement of the past, and it can also make the smile of the past appear on my face unconsciously.
