Premium Picks: No Mediocre Reads

A stubborn stone may nod, but it will never be fine jade; a withered tree may bloom again, but it will never become a pillar. To speak of ice to summer insects is to waste your breath; to play a lute to a cow is to waste your effort.

A Dust-Covered Heart

👍 means the star rating, with five stars as the maximum. I rate books based on my own impressions. Anything that gets three and a half stars or more, 👍👍👍➕, has something special and is worth a read. Also, feel-good wish-fulfillment novels get at most four stars. That's just a rule of mine. Most are classic web novels and feel-good wish-fulfillment stories. My reviews aren't really reading guides, but more like thoughts and summaries after finishing a book. I suppose only people who've read them

[Soaring to Immortality] A Little Righteous Spirit in the Mortal World, 108,000 Dreams of Youth 🏜️

What is this reading list about? It's about how the whole mortal world can be a place of cultivation. It's about how the vastness of heaven and earth isn't found in the eight directions, but within the space of a single thought. It's about how no matter how boundless the land, it cannot go beyond the speck of dust in one's heart. It's about how dead trees bloom again, all things have spirits, and life exists beyond life. It's about the boundless future, endless beauty, each tribulation a fl

Some Truly Worthwhile Book Recommendations

I mainly read fantasy and online-game novels, and hardly ever read urban or historical fiction. It's not easy to find a book I can stick with, so I often check out other people's reading lists and get a lot out of them. I'm updating my own list too, in case anyone comes across it and wants to share recommendations. I'm pretty picky about what I read. The flaws I point out are things I've noticed looking back after finishing a book. As the saying goes, a few flaws don't outweigh its merits, so I

Chaoyang's Footprints

Only ongoing or not-yet-completed works are included. If you only want to read one book, scroll straight to the bottom of the list. That's where you'll find the one I like and recommend most. I'll divide my recommendations into four tiers. Tier One Books worth rereading, which I consider excellent and strong across the board. Tier Two Books worth seeking out, with some truly exceptional qualities. Tier Three Readable books without any glaring problems, or with some particularly strong point

Xianxia Diary

The world of cultivation awaits you. I first encountered novels when I was in middle school, and the first one I read was Zhu Xian. In high school, I read Piaomiao Zhi Lu and A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. That's when I fell deeply in love with novels. I've been especially interested in cultivation and immortal-hero novels ever since. Reading them lets me imagine that I'm the protagonist, adventuring in a vast world of cultivation. I'm recommending excellent cultivation novels
