[Mystery and Supernatural] For the Old Guard of a Fading Genre
As everyone knows, Qidian's mystery section has been half-dead for a while because of a certain someone. Even so, plenty of people still dive headfirst into this pit out of love for the genre. In the spirit of showing (and, well, talking up) some love for new mystery writers, this list collects works by original mystery authors, in the hope of giving them at least a little exposure. [Only books published in the mystery section are included! If a book switches sections later, let me know and I'll
🔥🔥Reading List No. 1 Is Full: Old Readers' Relief Station, Round Two🔥🔥
A collection of novels I’ve read or am currently reading. No genre restrictions, I just add whatever catches my eye.
Glimpses and Impressions
First I look at the premise, second the writing, and third the plot. Updates whenever I feel like it. Worth a look if you're out of books.
Six Years of Web Fiction
Recommendations for books I think are pretty good, mostly by new authors and recently published. The great books by established authors don't need my recommendation.

Haha, I'm already the Prince of Suspense!
That old man above me, humph, he won't be in his position for much longer! That uncertain throne will be mine sooner or later! Two days from now, my dear subjects, just you wait and see, hahahahahaha! ... Cough cough.
The last time I saw him, he was the Crown Prince, about to kill Ah Fei. This time, he's become a eunuch?
What kind of inexplicable light spot guidance? The comments section was praising it to the skies, claiming it was incredibly well-written, but it turns out to be just another cheat-like story disguised as a novel.
The premise seemed good, but I only watched half of it before stopping. I remembered to watch it again today, but it was abandoned.
The team members each had their own roles, and the writing style was very old-fashioned; such works are rarely seen nowadays. The protagonist, Feng Ke, possesses extraordinary talents and luck, but his weakness lies in physical fitness. He is the core of the team, the main combatant, and is positioned as the center of attention.
Good for you, go and kill the innocent little dragon.
You go and kill Xiaolong.
You're going to be the future leader of the paranormal district!
The character development is really problematic. Survivors aren't expected to be incredibly smart or capable, but they should at least be calm. The constant jump scares and over-the-top reactions are really problematic. And Chen Xingyue is even portrayed as mentally challenged—she's supposed to be an elderly person!
Insufficient mortality rate and life-saving measures?
Each story is well-written, but I have some questions about the world-building. Currently, we've observed that several dungeons lack difficulty differentiation and are extremely deadly, while survivors seem to have survived due to luck, special abilities, and intelligence.
Has the author played Magic: The Gathering?
I feel like I can use card art to showcase some story scenes.
