For my own reading. I'm not very tolerant of bad writing. After reading too many simplistic novels, I've become immune to almost every conventional trope. Here to discover more great original stories. Recommendations are ranked from most to least recommended: heavenly treasures, excellent fare, decent fare, toxic fare, and deadly poison.

【Hidden Masterpieces】Great Books Few People Know About
A good book is like a cup of clear tea, A pleasure to read that also brings peace of mind. Excellent works deserve to be enjoyed together.
A Mixed Bag of Books
I like stories about fighting for power within a household, and I also like palace-intrigue stories. I have to say, Qidian's historical romances are generally quite good. I also enjoy romance and supernatural powers. I'm not as keen on ghost stories because I'm a scaredy-cat, but when I find a good one, I can't help taking a look. This list isn't just for female-oriented fiction. I'll also recommend books from the main site if they're good. The list is brand new, so please show it some love!

Reading List for Guidance and Suggestions
Keeping a record of books I've read, just for myself. I have two requirements for a book: it has to be interesting and it has to make sense.
My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
Promising Masterpieces
I’m digging up books with the potential to become big hits. My reviews reflect my genuine impressions while reading, and I hope fellow readers who feel the same will join me in searching for hidden treasures.
My Top Recommendations: Myriad Worlds, Fantasy, and Cultivation
I’m looking for smooth, entertaining stories, mostly xuanhuan, cultivation, and anime fan fiction, with a preference for ongoing serials. I once wanted to become an author too, so I may promote books I haven’t read; I’ll mark those clearly. Books that are abandoned after being added will be removed. Thanks for being here. I’m out of books to read, so please recommend some!!!
A Reasonable Reader's Picks: The Logic Should Mostly Hold Up, with a Bit of Everything
I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, so my tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books for readers who want something beyond simplistic fiction: fewer tired tropes, fewer saintly characters, and fewer mindless face-slapping scenes. I also like books with relatable protagonists. More precisely, these characters act in ways that feel human. They can be good or bad, but their choices have to make sense. P.S. Please save and like the list so I can see what you enjoy. The list has reached

Books I've Read: All Long Novels, Mostly Male-Audience Stories with Single Heroines
As the old saying goes, “You must do it yourself.” I’ve always believed that I can only give a fair assessment of a book if I’ve read it thoroughly myself. That’s what makes a list genuinely useful to its readers. So every book on this list is one I’ve paid to read in depth. I won’t copy and paste a blurb just to fob you off. I’ve written every summary myself. My reading preferences: over a million characters, no CP or very little romance, no formulaic plots, and mostly female-protagonist stor
A Reading List That Rides the Wind and Breaks the Waves
I mainly recommend new books, especially ones with original ideas. The criteria for making the list are good writing and clear logic. I'll add new books from every category, and readers are welcome to recommend books too. I occasionally add published books with great plots as well. These are honest recommendations.
The Wine Feast Book List
A good work is made from a great idea and great writing. Urban fiction, creative stories, xianxia, ghosts and monsters, fantasy progression novels, survival-focused stories, tales of becoming a sage, light novels, dating-show fanfiction: I recommend books I like and books you like. There’s something here for everyone.

Congratulations on the completion
Hajihe's recommendation to the Dogmatic Demon was really crucial. As a newcomer who didn't know anyone at the beginning, I was really touched. A Silver Alliance thanks Hajihe for his help, and hopes to open a new book as soon as possible so that I can continue to learn and imitate ()

The important thing is the feeling(●• ̀ω•́ )✧
Looks good in the front, but smart in the back
The scenes before and just after foundation building are the most interesting. After that, each one is smarter and stupider than the other. It seems that your protagonist is the only smart person in the world. Take Mrs. Chongguang as an example. The author has always emphasized that she is Mrs. Chongguang. She is usually well protected, so she is stupid. The question is, hasn't she lived several lifetimes, and was she born as Mrs. Chongguang? How did such a stupid thing reach perfection in the middle stage of foundation building, and it was still practiced in the Chu Sheng Sect. Compared with the previous one, Yu Su is really smart. Most of the time, it's fine to just watch it without thinking, but later on, when you take a closer look, you will find that there are flaws and loopholes everywhere. More than 90% of the powerful enemies that the protagonist fights are tribulations. This kind of common sense can make the protagonist fail every time. It's like the protagonist is the only one who can hold an umbrella on a rainy day, and no one else can. The author forcefully lowers the intelligence and lowers the intelligence. Don't fix the patches that can't be put on the table. If you don't have the writing power, don't write this big framework. It's over.
The complete book will be divine
We may once again see a new author become a god with a book. There are many visible flaws at the beginning of this book, such as too many jokes that make people tired, the lack of a plot of their own, and the protagonist's eagerness to restart the book that makes people say that their IQ is off the line. But after seeing 450,000 words, these problems disappeared. The main plot is the main tone, and the jokes are the embellishment. After the world view is unfolded, it becomes more and more interesting, and the plot becomes more exciting. Especially the various birth operations of the protagonist make people unable to put it down. There is also a big advantage here, that is, the supporting characters are not witty. The supporting characters are not clever, and it is satisfying to watch the protagonist being born. Otherwise, it will be like bullying a kindergarten child, and it will just be boring.
People can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated
Regarding Ang Xiao's ending, I hope he won't be included in the banner. Ang Xiao is a proud man. He has overcome obstacles all the way, and during the long five thousand years, he has continued to strive for what he wants in his heart. The arrogance of "not willing to be inferior to others" is engraved in his bones. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he has never flinched. For him like this, the ending should be upright and vigorous. At the last moment, even though he knew that his skills were inferior to others, he still had an unyielding fire. He will face death calmly, with the most heroic attitude, maintaining the heart of "no regrets even in body and mind". After five thousand years of persistence, he lost the result but never lost his spirit. He could accept failure and accept death, but he would not accept becoming someone else's slave or lower his proud head. As Hemingway said, "People can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated." The body may disappear, but the stubbornness and dignity engraved in the soul will always shine brightly and will not be defeated by any force. The above is my personal opinion, just a suggestion
Personal rant
I feel that the realm is set beyond the standard, and you can play with luck and cause and effect in the foundation stage. If you reach perfection in Qi training, you will die if you mess with the cause and effect. It is only the early stage of the foundation stage. Things can be calculated casually. Without plug-ins, others can't play at all! You can practice the Sage Way during the Qi training period, it's beyond the standard! What kind of immortality can you cultivate if everything is bound by fate and fate?
To be honest, I only thought this book was good after reading the plot about asking for money, especially the part about Chongguang. I have never read Xuanjian. If this part is original, then you have the ability to be platinum, just write it well, but if it is plagiarized, it is just a piece of cake
Writing that always uses God's perspective to infer the cause from the result will be really poisonous if there are too many wits.
Can it be less God's perspective? The logic of inferring causes from results appears too much. It's really awkward and the logic is very far-fetched.
Come on, author!
The plot of Hades is pretty good, but those who just want to see the ending can stop talking so much.
