A Collection of Top-Tier Reads
I’ve been reading for ten years... Quality guaranteed!!! These recommendations are sincere. Every book I add is, in my opinion, one of the best in its time. Fellow readers, feel free to chat with me o(≧v≦)o I have a pretty sound worldview, a strong sense of the rule of law, and a good grasp of modern society, so I won’t read books that are anti-human or inhumane. In other words, I don’t read dark fiction. If that’s your thing, please look elsewhere. I have another flaw: I’m a bit of a neat fre

Updated Irregularly. Everything Added Is a Novel I've Read and Enjoyed.
Most are promising new stories.
Completed Books Only
A mixed bag. I care about the plot, but also the characters. I'm not particularly fond of morally perfect male leads, though I'll read one if it's well written. I prefer stories without romance, but I'll also read a single-love-interest or harem story if it's good.
Books I Think Are Great, That's That
I thought these were good, so I added them here.
Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and Classic Xianxia
Stories about the Primordial World and Journey to the West, classical xianxia inspired by traditional Chinese culture, and novels about cultivation civilizations
A Bookshop
Just some books I usually enjoy. I'll add more whenever I feel like it, updates are irregular.

Books That’ll Keep You Up Reading
The kind of books that make me want to stay up reading, until suddenly it's morning.
Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too. It deals with

That's skillful; the protagonist truly possesses the refined elegance of a cultivator, finally no longer a gangster cultivating immortality.
Go to Liaozhai and be Yan Chixia's dog?
A celestial being went to *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* to call Yan Chixia "Senior"? To become his apprentice? Sold his account? Did you type this with your feet? You start from zero in a new world, so all your memories are gone?
The author wrote Journey to the West but wasn't very familiar with the original text.
I glanced at it and saw the third chapter. I noticed the title was "The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas". I checked the table of contents and found that the Monkey King had only just become the Keeper of the Horses after more than 190 chapters. So, guess how Nezha became the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas?

It seems the protagonist is a wicked demon, not a monster-themed character. The author's message is that eating humans makes you a bad demon, and not eating humans makes you a good demon. What kind of binary system is this? What difference does it make to the world? And eating humans makes you a demon? It's ridiculous!

Just one sentence: a true immortal's lifespan is a thousand years, hahaha.
This isn't Journey to the West, it's basically a low-level martial arts cultivation world where true immortals only live for a thousand years! 🤣
This Journey to the West you wrote is absolutely terrible! The lifespan of minor demons is only a hundred years. They're demons, after all! They don't even live as long as a tortoise in the mortal realm! And true immortals only live a thousand years! It's unbelievable! They become immortals and only live such short lives? What's the point of cultivating?
Honestly, I don't understand why they had to add the "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" instance; it's so degrading. Wouldn't it have been better to use the Hundred Schools of Thought from the 20th century? Are you trying to steal Nie Xiaoqian from Ning Caichen? Speechless. Everything before was fine, but the "A Chinese Ghost Story" instance ruined it.
True immortals can only live for a thousand years? Seriously?
It's too low-class; they wrote "A Chinese Ghost Story" instead of "Journey to the West," so I abandoned it.
