A Little Bookshop with Distinctive Taste
A list of books that suit my personal tastes, including some I dropped for various reasons along the way. I've been reading on Qidian for years, first for free and then as a paying reader. I honestly don't think a book's quality can be judged by its performance. Just look at the poorly written filler cluttering the charts. Finding a novel I can actually stick with is pretty hard. I hope this very personal list can be of some help to anyone struggling to find something to read. P.S. I like wuxia

Mostly New Finds, Just My Taste, Here to Inspire
I like putting promising new authors through the wringer. I’ve finished very few books in recent years. I’ll try to update regularly.

Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too. It deals with

There is a reason these books made it into the premium selection. Their writing and character development are both commendable, and they represent a refreshing current in recent years.

Let's discuss a classic example: It's impossible for someone to "cultivate immortality for many years and ascend to become an ordinary heavenly soldier."
There's actually a saying: "When one attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." The celestial soldiers, warriors, servants, and maids in the Heavenly Court aren't actually cultivators who ascended to heaven; many are simply servants of immortals in the mortal realm.
It's ridiculous that Laozi, who is he, has to flatter the Jade Emperor.
It was great!
The deities in this book are exactly the kind of deities I imagine. They are humane, have their own little schemes, but uphold the righteous path, are carefree and unrestrained, and don't have so many messy conspiracy theories. Immortals are immortals, and Buddhas are Buddhas. You can clearly feel that the workings of this world are self-consistent and reasonable.
The author seems like a completely different person with this latest volume. What kind of rubbish is this? It has absolutely no flavor of the previous works. The eighty-one tribulations are a million miles worse than before. The protagonist's true form descending to the mortal realm to cause trouble lowers the overall quality, and then they add a clichéd time-travel plot, replacing the most…
Ugh, I'm so numb 😓
Honestly, I never really thought much of prehistoric fantasy literature before, but today, I was disgusted. Just now, I searched on my browser: "When did the concept of 'demon' first appear?" 80% Of the answers were things like, "The demon race is the first major race born after Pangu separated heaven and earth," or some other prehistoric setting.
I'm increasingly unable to understand what they're writing or what their intention is. Can't they write anything without Journey to the West?
The poem in the introduction feels really strange, let me rewrite it for you.
Seven-character quatrain - Xuanmen Gatha Sitting quietly on a meditation cushion, reciting the Yellow Court Classic, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is clear in the palm of one's hand. A lotus boat gently floats on the Amitabha realm, while from afar, one gazes upon Vulture Peak, where love and hate intertwine.
Recruitment
We're hiring! The Heavenly Court is recruiting a large number of civil servants. Requirements include: no sins to be committed, respect for elders and care for the young, compassion, integrity, dedication to work, and a commitment to all living beings. Once you're in, it's a lifetime position. Don't worry if you perish; we'll help you reincarnate and bring you back to continue your service in your next life. The Heavenly Court is a grand stage; if you have a dream, come join us!
The beginning of this book was alright, but it started to go bad from the Xuanxian Tribulation onwards.
Your magic weapon is too overpowered. In the entire Journey to the West, only two things can make the Monkey King suffer such a defeat: the magic bag and the Vajra Bracelet. But those belong to Laozi and Maitreya. What are you, an original noob?
