A Reading List to My Taste
This list is entirely based on what I like, so the main idea is to be casual. 😋 I tend to like ruthless protagonists, System stories, xuanhuan, Western fantasy, and myriad-world settings. I prefer stories without a female lead, but I'm fine with romance if the author handles it well. Comedy is fine too, though I don't read much of it.
The World's Restaurants
When the glow of the immortal path intertwines with strange, shadowy darkness, it creates a fantastical world of bewildering wonders. Here, ordinary people defy fate and cultivate their way to the heavens. The flow of spiritual energy conceals the mysteries of the Great Dao, while swords cleaving the firmament give rise to passionate legends. There are also eerie secret realms shrouded in mist, where the unknown lurks in silence and seemingly ordinary things hide chilling mysteries that upend a

Xi Jiang's Personal Reading List
A middle-aged reader born in the 1990s, with ten years of web-novel reading behind me. I’ve read all sorts of books, so I’m keeping track of ongoing ones here. Completed books get removed! There are loads of books on my shelf, and sometimes I can’t even remember them all! Since I’m a woman who reads male-oriented fiction, you won’t find harem novels here! (If a book is truly exceptional, I’ll make a note of it separately.) 🅰️ Anyone have recommendations? It’s so hard to find books myself. Sin

A Reading List That Might Have Something to Say
What you find heavenly, I find poisonous; what you find poisonous, I find heavenly. Like Boya and Ziqi, or Bole and a thousand-mile horse. It all comes down to fate.
Reader Since 2017, Leaving My Mark 🌸🙅🏻♀️
Novels I've read and enjoyed, with a bit of everything. These are just books I personally like. I really do feel that Qidian has become increasingly dumbed down, or that its content has grown increasingly homogeneous. For new authors without a fanbase, writing lightweight stories with AI is an easier way to get popular. I've read online novels for many years, and even when it comes to printed fiction, I often have to force myself through it like an assignment. I also can't get into stories that
Reading and Sharing 🍒 More Updates to Come, Follow Me
I just started making book lists, so I'm not very good at it. 💤 I remember how exciting it was to find a good book 😻, then share it with everyone around me. I wanted the whole world to read the same book as me 👏. Good books bring us closer together, letting us share the wonderful worlds the authors create. I'll do my best to add novels I think are good. If you feel the same, please follow my list, and a gift would be even better.

You are dishonest
You're like a plagued ox or horse, how can you be so lazy? Hurry up and bring up the rest of the chapters properly! Don't you know the methods of us Bodhisattvas? Are you taking advantage of our monthly votes? You need to update more often, the Buddhas will be happy, and when the Buddhas are happy, you'll get your rewards.
Check-in
I was moved and came in response to the promise made to Bodhisattva Yongzhen.
Not good enough, I can't stand it! I could tolerate the previous book about Tibetan Buddhism because most readers are unfamiliar with the mysterious environment and customs of Tibet, and the convoluted dialogue matched readers' impressions and imaginations. But the one about Central China is the same, I can't stand it. The witchcraft and exorcism are nothing new, the dialogue doesn't match my expectations, it just feels too convoluted and tedious.
I feel the author's book has one flaw: poor coherence. The previous books all had this problem: they were neither detailed enough nor concise enough, abruptly ending or switching to a new chapter just when you were getting into it, while wasting words on unimportant parts. I couldn't continue reading the last book after reading half of it. I hope the author can fix this problem.
This author is extremely one-sided in their approach to writing. All their books suffer from the same flaw, unchanging throughout. Several books had a good first chapter, creating a positive initial impression and attracting many readers. However, as the writing became increasingly abstract, readers left, and the book's success stagnated.
Yongzhen Bodhisattva hasn't achieved the highest level yet; hopefully, that will be added later. It's really frustrating when you can't beat the final boss and have to run away. 😅
Write a book review Advantages: The author's setting is quite good, and the plot unfolds reasonably. So far, there are quite a few foreshadowing elements, and the world-building should become more interesting later on. Weaknesses: The author has some writing skill, but the writing is too weak.
My goodness, so many quotation marks! It's so disruptive to readability and utterly annoying. It's one thing if it's just a few rare or unusual words that need to be marked, but the problem is, it seems like you put quotation marks around every single word. You're using quotation marks almost as frequently as commas and periods!
Have you ever skipped Nuo opera? Some of this is just random writing and assumptions.
It's best for authors to promote their books.
Platinum-level authors usually advertise their new books or their reader groups. Of course, it's also possible that they've just started a new book, the word count isn't high yet, and the previous book's side stories aren't finished, so the author feels they should wait a while.
