Personal Reading List
Books that have stuck with me over the years
A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So
Notes on Current Affairs
This list will collect some new novels and give them brief reviews. My standards aren't high, so the books here often have flaws. I hope readers will bear with me. Criteria: Excellent in every respect (.....) > Great writing and content, but with some flaws (....) > A few strong points in the writing, content, or subject matter (...).
The Author Is Trouble...
These aren’t lightweight novels; they take some time and thought. The authors keep updating regardless of outside circumstances

The idea is good, but the writing is very frustrating. It is a classic Mahayana period, but the cultivation level is gone. The setting is similar to other capitalist immortal cultivation. If the cultivation level is still there, I can write about how the higher-ups have turned the society into this. It is a different perspective. There are too many bottom-level perspectives of cyberpunk immortal cultivation. This is a frustrating book.
I don't understand why the protagonist must be made into a lustful character
Latest update: The description of this aspect has been reduced a lot, and the flavor of the drama has become stronger. 20260220 I came here from the Slime book and ordered all of it. When I read Slime, although most of the women in it looked like hungry ghosts in porn, I could barely accept the interactions between Slime and various women because it fit the character of the protagonist. The idea of doing the next best thing throughout the book can also make people smile. But in this book, I really don't understand why the protagonist is made into a womanizer with Dingli 9. I'm not sure if the author wants to make "the Mahayana monk with Dingli 9" a running theme throughout the book. If so, then I think... It's quite contradictory. Because in the acceptance speech, the author said how he wanted to shape the protagonist. All in all, he is not a flat funny character. But if it is not a funny character, but a three-dimensional character who wants to reflect the author's ideas, the character will always have to be self-consistent. But Dingli 9, especially the Mahayana monks who only seem to be interested in women, IMHO, it feels like dragon fruit in fried beef with green peppers, which makes people confused. It's not that you can't be lustful in the Mahayana stage, but on the one hand, the author wants to portray the protagonist as a classical cultivator who needs to cultivate his mind rather than just finish it. But on the other hand, when describing the protagonist's lustfulness, it always makes me curious, why such a person can cultivate to the Mahayana stage in the way he said, instead of dying halfway through some love tribulation and heart refining tribulation. I don't have this kind of confusion about slime.
It can be said that the protagonist has a firm Taoist heart. After seeing this evil world of five turbidities, he starts over with the intention of clarifying the world. He himself feels like a true cultivator and a true king. Even if his magical powers are reduced to the level of a mortal, his heart will never turn back. This brings a very good impression.
Some thoughts on this worldview
The novel builds a fantasy world by adding various incredible elements to make the world rich and diverse. The author and readers take risks in the constructed world and gain the joy of reading stories and experiencing various plots. However, this world view essentially eliminates and reduces fantasy elements and reduces diversity. At first glance, you might think it is a fantasy of some future possibility, but if you look carefully, it is actually a regression. Let's see if the author can make a breakthrough, otherwise there won't be much content to write about in this world view.
The most annoying thing is the loss of high-level cultivation. It's like I have 100 million, but for some reason I can't spend it. I have to earn it myself before giving it to me. I'll make my own money on my own.
Summary after reading Chapter 21
There are too many private goods... Probably all the authors of cyber cultivators and Warhammer fans next door have a bad habit, that is, they want to cram all the relevant knowledge they know into books to popularize science for readers. The result is long paragraphs of theoretical setting text and metaphysical terms (usually these texts also consume a lot of energy from the author to carve out). However, as a reader, these are all things I read without skipping a beat. The most important thing about a novel is the plot. As long as the plot rhythm is well written, any words will do.
New book lovers, don't be fooled, this book is not boring. It may not be an invincible novel, but except for the beginning, I have never been depressed. In fact, the beginning cannot be called being depressed. It should be called being chased by a yandere.
There may be some spoilers below, but that's okay. After all, some people yelled that the main text was abusive before they finished reading the free chapters, so I can only spoil some of the free chapters. First, this book does not abuse the protagonist. The dragon you fight with the protagonist at the beginning is more like your enemy, your friend, and the girl who wants to tease you in the second dimension. Second, regarding what some people say about changing the world directly from the top. Do you know why we need to conduct a grassroots investigation? If you do not go deep into the grassroots level realistically and truly understand how sentient beings survive, how do you know where there is a problem? It all depends on the middle management to tell you, and then you go bankrupt with laughter while the classic Asan Ying's academic income line is improving? Third, the protagonist has been learning modern immortal cultivation techniques, which is a learning process in itself. Without a deep understanding of modern immortal cultivation, he rushes to fight people with the ancient Mahayana cultivation. Of course, he is still very good at fighting, but the question is, is it of any use? Don't you understand that Young and Dangerous xxx will remain Young and Dangerous all his life? Fourthly, in this book, the protagonist is not really embarrassed. It is the same as what Chili said in the plot. At worst, let the demon dragon poke him, and the protagonist can eat some soft food. Without knowing the truth, what you said is right, it is a failure. But we have the bottom line. Except for social problems that must be thoroughly understood before solving them, other problems are solved one after another. Do you call this being depressed?
Why is the review section of a good book such a mess?
Whether it is the imagination or the writing style of this book, I can't say it is top-notch, but it can be said to be excellent. Moreover, the writing is not fancy or packed with words, and it does not make people feel confused. There are so many downvotes in the comment area, I wonder if the author has offended someone. He didn't even finish the free chapter before he started to slander him at will.
After watching Lao A's video, I feel that the author is still conservative, and the world of immortality is still too popular.
I would like to ask if this article is about a single heroine or multiple heroines. I am a harem party member. If it is a single heroine, I will leave before I get into the trap. By the way, I wish this article a good result. If it is a harem, then don't worry about getting into the trap.
