Steer Clear of Toxic Reads, Focus on What Makes Each Story Special (Especially Fanfiction)
I've been reading on Qidian for twelve years. I don't give books ratings or stars ⭐ because everyone has their own tastes. I focus on what makes each book distinctive. The ones on this list have all found their own niche. Reading lets us immerse ourselves in worlds others have created and feel for their characters and stories. A book that suits your taste is hard to find. I read widely and I'm picky, so I'll collect any interesting books I come across here. I hope you find something you like. I

My Top Recommendations: Myriad Worlds, Fantasy, and Cultivation
I look for smooth, engaging stories, mostly fantasy and cultivation novels and anime fanfiction, with a preference for ongoing series. I once wanted to become a writer myself, so I like to give authors a boost. If I haven't read a book, I'll mark it as unread. Books that stop updating will be removed from the list. Thanks for being here. I'm out of things to read, so please recommend me some books!!!

A Little Bookshop with Distinctive Taste
A list of books that suit my personal tastes, including some I dropped for various reasons along the way. I've been reading on Qidian for years, first for free and then as a paying reader. I honestly don't think a book's quality can be judged by its performance. Just look at the poorly written filler cluttering the charts. Finding a novel I can actually stick with is pretty hard. I hope this very personal list can be of some help to anyone struggling to find something to read. P.S. I like wuxia

Now I understand why everyone in the chapter comments says the author abandoned the project.
Leaving aside the various idiotic actions mentioned earlier, let's focus on Chapter 76, which I believe is the most problematic chapter. The Black Mountain King ordered his men to assemble and even made the winds blow from all directions towards the assembly point, just to guide the others. But the protagonist didn't want to go, so he stopped the winds around him...
Why did I abandon it after reading over 140 chapters?
First of all, the author's writing is definitely excellent and engaging. There are two aspects of the character's personality that I can't stand. Given that demons are used as cultivation materials for humans, the Black Mountain Lord, while opposing the humans, hasn't been seen oppressing any lesser demons.
After reading a few chapters, my personal impression is that the protagonist is like a timid, cowardly, indecisive, and thoughtless woman who transmigrates to a strange world and discovers she's a zombie. A normal person would think this is a fantasy world, a very dangerous one, and that as a zombie, she's an outcast, and venturing out would be very dangerous.
Honestly, the protagonist feels like a dog, constantly finding new masters—from the cunning old ghost to the Black Mountain Lord, and there will definitely be other masters later. Each master takes the protagonist along when they go hunting, rewarding them with a shrimp afterward.
Shennong
He doesn't seem like a newcomer, but he's definitely not a reincarnated master either. Judging from his writing style, he's probably a sentimental writer who writes light novels, and he's gained experience through reincarnation. Beginners can read this, experienced readers can also read it, and those who like to think and reason can just take a look and leave.
This is definitely a clone of Kissing Fingertips. This kind of stubborn protagonist with fluctuating intelligence is absolutely no mistake.
The protagonist is not very smart.
The time travel setting is too redundant. If a time traveler knows that the place he is in is a corpse-raising ground set up by someone else, why doesn't he hurry up and leave? A time traveler arrived at the most yin-heavy place in the corpse-raising ground and found a coffin engraved with runes.
Well written, I read the latest chapter in one go.
The process of learning the law has a bit of the feel of a novel called "Kissing Your Fingertips," with a generally humorous style. The characters are all quite intelligent, the supporting characters are smart enough, and the protagonist doesn't have that domineering air, which is very appealing.
Why did they write the protagonist like a local clown? It's truly poisonous! An old ghost can easily manipulate and humiliate the protagonist, casting a spell that nearly kills him. After barely escaping, they're given a little sweetness, and the protagonist suddenly becomes loyal. Is this a dog?
It's written quite realistically, perfectly capturing the mindless, zombie-like state of someone with rigid thinking and a muddled mind.
