A Sort of Reading Guide? I'll Review All Kinds of Texts, Good and Bad
I add strange and unusual books I come across here. (I can only make one list, so my personal recommendations are here too.) P.S. If I sound harsh, it’s because something about the book genuinely disgusted me. P.P.S. One extremely harmful book was taken down the other day, after being on this list for a while. No idea if someone reported it or the author ran off, but either way, good riddance.
I Love Reading

Only Worth Reading If It Has Something Fresh, No Clichés
I've read so many books that I can usually predict what comes next as soon as I spot the formula. These days it's one overused trope after another. Either it's one fight after another, until reading becomes exhausting. Or the story plunges into one long dungeon arc. It's convenient for the author, but it really insults the reader's intelligence. Or the author thinks they're clever and that their comedy is hilarious, when in reality it's just... painfully bad. Personally, I think a good author s

The constant emphasis on the protagonist's over-the-counter "mental disability" and his advanced age of over 40 fails to resonate with readers; these "labels" simply don't appeal to them. Furthermore, the absurdity of the protagonist's aristocratic family doesn't demonstrate any detachment from reality, and the allusions to his "elder brother," "mother," and "conman," or rather, the output of his…
Is the protagonist actually mentally ill?
In his own territory, he executed his cowardly and incompetent subjects; outside, he defied the gods to save a little girl. At his own mage guild, he beheaded an apprentice who blocked his way; and at the magic temple, he acted as a babysitter for two selfish, immature people.
Some time ago, someone questioned whether "The Immortal Dragon" was written by AI. While I refuted this, I also felt a pang of sadness: times have changed. Soth is a familiar author to many long-time fantasy readers. He started with D&D themes like *The Wizard's Tale*, *Swords, Sorcerers, and Taxi*, and *Twenty-Sided Dice*, before developing his own unique style.
It's all from God's perspective and useless descriptions.
After writing for so many years, specializing in fantasy... I still haven't had a single book that's become a mainstream hit, perfectly avoiding all the satisfying elements. It's truly unique.
You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually started a new book behind everyone's back!
I felt that 400 chapters was already quite boring. Actually, the best part was the adventure before the dragon transformation. After the dragon transformation, it became less interesting. This book is really not as good as similar novels like Stormwind, which was close to four million words before I started to feel a bit bored.
Does the protagonist apply double standards?
In Chestnut Tree Village, the protagonist kills the person who took the gold coins but did not take charge, and then cuts out their tongues and whips them when rumors spread, before hanging the person who spread the rumors. To be honest, when I got to this part, although punishing without warning is cruel, that's how online novels are, and the protagonist could be considered "decisive in killing."
I might have to be more careful in the future. The dragon in the protagonist's character is a stitched-together creation, which may not be pleasing to either side. Readers of Western fantasy dragon novels and readers of Eastern dragon novels have different preferences, so your Frankenstein-like creation may not please either side.
The writing style and plot logic of this book are fine, but I just feel that this mage is too un-mage-like.
The protagonist is a mage, but perhaps because the author described him in such detail, I didn't feel he was a mage at all. More like a warrior wielding a two-handed staff who knows a few spells The monks travel by boat and on foot. The mage fights using a two-handed staff and some seemingly meaningless, non-functional knots—well, that makes the crabs delicious.
