[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
Qingdan: Reading Log
I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p
Avoid Beginner-Level Stories, Treasure Your Time: A Collection of Wild Ideas
Hey, are you tired of overpowered chosen-one heroes? They're born invincible, every woman who sees them falls for them for no reason, every man wants to become their sworn brother, and every villain is brainless and practically begs the hero to trample them. Every technique and opportunity is conveniently laid out for the protagonist. If they don't become ruler of the world and shatter the void, they can barely show their face in public. Who are these brainless wish-fulfillment stories insulting
Strange Books from Every Era
Every book on this list, in my opinion, stands far above the trends of its time. The plots are logical and engaging, and the stories are imaginative. There's no forced plotting or deliberate obscurity, and nothing is hard to follow, yet clues are planted throughout. These aren't simplistic stories. Because of my preferences, most are fantasy or fanfiction.
Novels with Young Boy Protagonists
Mostly no-romance or single-love-interest stories, with very few harem novels.

I'd like to say a few words that might offend the author. I've read similar comics and novels with very appealing themes, but there are just too many inconsistencies. By the way, I've only read the first hundred chapters, so I don't know if there's been any improvement later on. 1. Let's talk about the protagonist's situation first. He has just learned the basic information about this world.
The book is just so-so.
To be honest, the beginning was good; the first part about escaping was definitely not bad. However, the classic newcomer hides foreshadowing, concealing it in the next book, comparable to the World Championship's hidden draft picks aimed at Sn+1. After the first part ends, the general world view should be introduced and the main storyline established.
The initial premise seemed really good. However, the protagonist is an adult who is reborn, and his mindset is also that of an adult. He knows he'll be eaten at age 7, and he even has a rebirth advantage. Then he does nothing but wait for 6 years.
Too many bugs, can't be fixed, not scary enough.
The premise that ghosts possess reason and thought, making them no different from humans except for their cannibalistic nature, is not scary at all. Furthermore, such a sophisticated social organization and structure for ghosts is too difficult to write and simply cannot resolve plot holes. Ghosts have reason and thought, and even a strict social organization system. Are you still a ghost?
My head hurts from looking at it.
I read around chapter 130, and then skipped over a few more chapters I had subscribed to; it was getting more and more tiring to read. The author's strength and weakness both stem from having too many ideas... As a result, they get increasingly carried away with the parts they care about, leading to a decline in their overall control of the story.
Imagine being in the protagonist's shoes, with endless deaths and resurrections, and no mental pollution upon death. Seven years is certainly enough time to thoroughly explore the surrounding area. Just walk into the street and shout, "You're all man-eating monsters!" And you'll die within a minute, resurrected twenty minutes earlier. This isn't just random experimentation.
It was really frustrating to read. Every time, the protagonist's thoughts went off in a jumbled mess, none of them making sense. After finishing the first arc, I still hadn't grasped the main plot at all. It's like Gun Kai's new book; the first world had hundreds of chapters of setup, just constant survival battles, with absolutely no main storyline.
Stopped at chapter 103, the protagonist, apart from his ability to rewind time, is really too ordinary and mediocre in other aspects. He has no strength, no intelligence, and no outstanding qualities. Also, there are too many puzzles. It's not that puzzles are bad, but I felt they were forced and awkward, as if the protagonist was being forced to solve them, and the protagonist is not smart.
I stopped reading after a few chapters. I felt the protagonist was quite dim-witted. He clearly had the ability to rewind time, but he didn't know how to use it. Starting from the age of four, he tested one person a week to see if they were a monster. By the time he was six, he could test more than a hundred people.
To summarize briefly, the protagonist is a transmigrator who transmigrates to the world of the Monkey King and then goes insane due to unknown factors. The current plot is presented from the protagonist's subjective perspective, meaning he's mentally ill. In reality, the protagonist has been frail and sickly since birth, nearly dying at one month old.
