[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

Just My Reading History
I'll put books here if they leave an impression after I finish them. Good for when you're out of things to read.
Fantasy and the Supernatural
Fantasy, supernatural fiction, and more. I mainly recommend newer works, but there will be other genres too. I may revisit some books, and books with chaotic reviews will be removed.
Books I Love to Read
They’re all good kids. You have to believe, mm-hmm.
New Book Recommendations: Script-Based and Transmigration Stories (Recommended: The Gold Rush Plan)
Books I personally think are pretty good and have something to say. The prose can be uneven, so feel free to skip them if that bothers you. (No, really, why do nine out of ten new books I recommend get dropped? Am I cursed or something? Sigh~) P.S. My laziness kicks in a lot. When I remember to update this list, I've often forgotten what half the books were about.
All Personally Handpicked, One Book at a Time
I do have some standards, so feel free to give these a try.
Put Your Worries Aside and Enjoy Reading
People are always comparing how much money they have, their houses, their wives, and their kids. Whether it's by choice or not, these comparisons make us anxious. Only reading can help us let go of that anxiety and find joy and sorrow in the worlds authors create.

Your book is so good! I wholeheartedly support this! 🙂🙂🙂
Does the author have no weaknesses?
The first part of the story was mostly supernatural, but the four updated chapters briefly escaped the eerie background and began to focus on human interest. It was then that I realized the author's character development was quite good; the main characters' stances were all believable, especially the hospital scene, which evoked a complex mix of emotions.
Hurry up and use a cheat!
Given the protagonist's environment and conditions, without any special abilities, this book could easily have thousands of chapters. The pacing is slow and leisurely, a bit depressing, and the writing is excellent. However, at 150,000 words, the world-building is still not fully developed. If a little cheat code were added to speed things up, I would definitely subscribe to the entire book.
Could the author include some plot involving exploring ancient sites in the middle of the story?
As the title suggests, I have a particular fondness for novels in the categories of folklore, mystery, and archaeology. My first exposure to this genre was through *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, and I've also read *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* from the same period. Later works in this genre became quite rare, even seldom seen.
The protagonist isn't likable; what I want to see is a protagonist who is calm and decisive enough.
Like the author of "Buddha's Art of War," he writes excellent ghost stories but lacks depth in his characters, especially the romance. The love story with Li Hongye was particularly awkward.
I haven't read the content, but the synopsis seems a bit off. The "giant blood-sucking serpent" part just doesn't make sense. Only small creatures suck blood; giant ones just swallow people whole.
It seems like it's going to end.
The plot hole about the righteous gods in the outside world is probably impossible to fill. Hopefully, they won't kill off Mo Li and let her accompany Ran Qing to see the outside world. Ran Qing's earlier statement to Li Hongye that he had no romantic feelings for Mo Li was a bit inexplicable.
After each time the protagonist catches a ghost and finishes a task, their abilities and strength should theoretically improve. However, the next time they go, they are always overwhelmed, and then something from outside the book appears. This makes the reader feel that the protagonist is improving and lacks a sense of security.

Dude, do you know what it feels like for someone from Liupanshui to read your novel? I used to work in an apartment building with an elevator. 😭
