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!!!

Level-Up Stories with a Little Spark
A collection of novels with a few real bright spots. The selection is varied, including showbiz, urban fiction, xianxia, and fan fiction. At heart, though, these are all progression stories, where characters advance one step at a time, with a greater emphasis on logical plots. If you'd rather not switch off your brain before reading, give these a try.
Wang Cai Doesn’t Like Catnip
I won't write many recommendations, but I promise they're all quality reads. I update this list slowly, since I have to find books I can actually stick with first (= ̄ω ̄=) No need to send flowers, it's a waste of money.

A place to put books. The old list didn't have enough room, so here we are. Come see what you think. The focus is on fun reads, especially fantasy involving dragons and the Forgotten Realms. The fantasy section on Qidian has really gone downhill.
Personal Reading List
Books I'm currently reading or have finished. Qidian's recommendations have a hard time catering to different tastes, so I hope everyone will make more lists of their own. That way, we can share good books and stay out of reading slumps.

A Veteran Reader’s Picks
This is based on my personal taste, and mostly features novels that aren't amateurish. Liking a work is highly subjective, so I won't give ratings. I'll just describe how each one made me feel. I really hope I can recommend some good reads to everyone. (I'm a little speechless. Do people really copy comments from reading lists? Seriously.) Out of touch: My Reborn Self Has No Vision

Your writing is not bad, the background design of the story is even more brilliant, and the construction of the power system is also ingenious, but I beg you not to write about conspiracies and conspiracies anymore. There are several books in succession. You should understand that your intelligence is just a charm. If you have time to build conspiracy, you might as well use it to take risks, fight monsters, and take drugs to upgrade. These are your strengths.
Book review by a 12-year-old bookworm
Save money: Evaluation B, system text, kill people and buy goods to accumulate cultivation qualifications, continue after upgrading, the background is the world of cannibalistic immortality. In the first few dozen chapters, the world of cultivating immortals is described as orderly in chaos, with the weak eating the strong, which is a bit ironic of reality. This is one of its characteristics. The protagonist has a second uncle who loves him, which is the second characteristic. The rest is essentially the same as Dou Po Cang Qiong ten years ago. It is nothing more than killing people and buying goods, practicing and upgrading, being flattered by others and being underestimated by others, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. The biggest problem with this theme of cannibalism and cultivating immortals is that it cannot develop peacefully. For the poor people at the bottom, the environment is harsh, so the cultivation of immortals must be introduced into the system. When the system is introduced, it is easy to overdo it, and the world will collapse if it is left open. There is also this kind of excitement through layers of cheating. In fact, after a few rounds of stimulation, readers will become numb. The old bookworm is more interested in the structure of the world of cultivating immortals. Only by showing the world and allowing readers to gain pleasure from curiosity can there be no limit.
Have you ever practiced immortality? Some things are scribbled and taken for granted.
Brief chat
I have read some of the books in the Cuckoo Fairy series. The one that impressed me the most was probably the one hundred or so pictures of the Immortal Barrel. The scene where the Taoist priests eating Taoist priests at the White Bone Temple was shocking. I also read some of the subsequent books, but I didn't really have the urge to finish them. This new book has nothing before. My uncle's true love for his nephew was really interesting. It's very comfortable. It's something I haven't found in the previous books. The previous ones were too pure of a world of cannibalism. I read the new book from the first page to the latest chapter in one go. I'm still not satisfied. But at least the main mission is completed (if I had known I would have read it 2 days later, I could directly see the uncle fished out 😃). In short, the new book is very good. I will keep reading. Come on.
The mountain spirits and wild monsters in this book have the atmosphere of a black myth, and the "Taylor"-style character design of the uncle is very realistic. The people who enter the Fairyland on the same boat have their own tragic fate, similar to the people who smuggled into Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, thinking that Hong Kong was full of gold, but in fact the people who smuggled there were regarded as human smugglers. Selling, a secular seeker comes to Xiuxianfang City with great hope, but is eventually eaten without even the bones left. Unlike other books, the protagonist has no idea of changing the fate of others and respects their own destiny. It returns to the theme of classical fairy tale novels in the Chinese fairy tale class using fantasy novels to write about reality.
Book review: The counter-routine in the strange fairy tale "Fang Xian Heretic"
When I was searching for books at Qidian, I came across "Fang Xian Heretic". I originally had the mentality of casually reading it, but I was directly hooked to read the updated chapters. This is probably the so-called "unpopular treasure". It has no flashy gimmicks, but relies on solid settings and interesting narratives to give the weird fairy tale a different flavor. The author's world view of Xihuzhou is very poignant: it is not the fairy tales in traditional immortality novels, but a chaotic place where humans and demons live together and is surrounded by dangers. The road to immortality is wrapped in the smell of blood, and the struggles of the monks at the bottom are so real that people can sympathize with them. But this "weirdness" is full of contrasts. The protagonist Fang Shu doesn't take the usual path. He wears conspicuous black hair and breaks into the monster building with a yellow gourd. He uses the method of "pretending to be crazy and acting stupid" to break the situation. The joke with the monster "Brothers, I am satisfied with how I am" not only resolves the tension, but also establishes his cunning and down-to-earth character. It reads particularly visually. The rhythm of the plot is well controlled, there is no lengthy foreshadowing, and each chapter has a small climax: seeing through the illusion and killing the demon, unlocking the new ability of the mountain and sea fairy, and the family interaction with the down-and-out second uncle. The excitement and warmth are just right. The most rare thing is the author's writing style, which is cold and stern with a hint of smoke and fire. The strange scenes in the monster building are not deliberately exaggerated to exaggerate the horror. The protagonist's cleverness is not exaggerated. The core setting of "refining oneself as medicine and nourishing one's body as bait" is both novel and self-consistent, giving the entire system of cultivating immortals a unique identity. Compared with those routine articles on cultivating immortals, "Fang Xian Heretic" is more "fresh". The monster is not a stereotyped villain, with silly operations and careful thoughts; the protagonist is not a cool text template that cheats all the way, with struggles and calculations; even the supporting characters have their own stories, making the whole world appear three-dimensional and interesting. It is indeed a surprise to discover such a work during the book shortage, and it is worth updating. I sincerely recommend it to friends who like anti-routine fairy tales. I also hope to get the title of the event so that more people can discover this good work~
A brief overview of Cuckoo Talk novels
It always starts out amazing, but then collapses to the point where you can't watch it directly. Xianlu describes the decline and evolution of the world. Before the decline of the world of Xianlu, it was divided into two areas by supreme magic power. The protagonist lives in a declining area and wants to open up a new world to escape from the secret realm (fairy garden). He is helped by Huang Tianzhi (opened) to do good deeds Whether it is the clever and wise judgment in the White Bone Mountain, or the orphans of the six tribes who are summoned to enter the Taoist temple, or the truth and destruction of the fairy garden, and then falling into the real declining area of the world... All these things have the style of the originator of a new genre. Even the subsequent description of the Gray Snake Grass line, another healthy world area arranged with supreme mana in advance, is very imaginative. But in the end this article ended in a hurry. I thought it was a pity at the time, but to this day, I feel that the hasty ending was a good one, otherwise it might have been too disastrous to watch, which would have affected the memory of the good plot and story of the book. The second book also has a great start, it is like an immortal It completes the training details of the basic level of the Xianlong Taoist priest. At first glance, it feels like the old movie "Qi Men Dun Jia". It is based on removing poison and eliminating evil (opening) and writing about all the monsters and monsters. The early style was bold and novel, using the Soviet-style cooperative style to explain the strange world and human nature. Fortunately, the author was Big Brother's younger brother. In the meantime, the Gray Snake Grass plot reveals the magical power of Taoist priests, who conquer small worlds at every turn, and there are references to wizard novels and the like. However, the Taoist priest's dignity is introduced in the new chapter, but there is still a big enemy. Where is the big enemy? Taoist thief! This leads to the main line, the main line is, how respected is the Taoist priest. Therefore, I want to integrate modern phenomena, hey, Meituan, hey, capital into the world of this book to show the dignity and nobility of Taoist priests. However, if I fail to draw a tiger If I fail to draw a tiger, this book fails. The third book, Immortal Family I have to say that the opening three chapters, no, the opening thirty chapters, are all at their peak. The main theme of this book is that Tao has been far away from the heavenly official and earthly Cao, and has gradually strayed away from the human way. Tao wants to get close to the underworld, and get close to ghosts. Man is the spirit of all things. In view of this realm, he wants to get close to the underworld. The way of human cultivation is booming, and a new cultivation system appears in this article. But it collapsed after eighty chapters, as if it should collapse The book failed again I just don't know how the new book will be
Shock! There are more than one million words, and most of the comments section praise it.
Most of the people who complained also complained about slow updates. Has he really taken this step?!
What time is it?
I have followed several of your novels in the past few days, and the quality is very good. Chinese people's cultivation of immortality is to combine the methods of cultivation in traditional Taoist theory. The three golden chapters are perfect. I have some small suggestions that I hope the author will think carefully about. The game will always collapse in the middle and later stages because a very abrupt new world suddenly opens up, which is not good. You are very energetic in the early and mid-term, and you can slowly open the map, from towns to mountains to prefectures and counties to famous mountains and rivers. Finally, Taoist masters in different parts of the world are good at different things. Also, you need to pay attention to the fact that switching between maps is relatively stiff. As for the practice of high-level monks, don't copy the old-fashioned way of dealing with gods. This set is not suitable for your article. Please think carefully about your own way. You can focus on the exploration of world rules such as yin and yang, avenues, etc. If you really can't write the post-stage, you might as well write longer in the mid-term, lengthen the timeline, and improve the overall quality. Your post-processing is really too uncomfortable, and it often changes beyond recognition. Breaking through and breaking through yourself, the master of enlightenment is only in your one or two parts, and I hope you can encourage me.
Better than before.
Starting from the first book, all the books written by this author are basically based on the first map. The plot and characters are very good and stable. Then they gradually collapse after the first map is released. By the middle of the second map, they become unreadable. For example, "The Immortal Cage" "I think the beginning and the first map of Heishui Town are the best among all the books written by the author. It can be seen even in Fairy City. However, when it comes to the subsequent sect maps, it plummets. Later, it becomes a stallion story. It's not that I can't accept stallions, but you can't turn the main plot into a stallion directly. As for this book, it is not rotten yet, but there is a trend. The author always likes to write some innocuous and gaudy fragments, and even directly inserts a large section of this kind of plot into the main plot. The key writing is still very bad, and I skipped most of them. Fortunately, this book is restrained, and the impact on the main plot is not particularly big. It is still worth reading. I just hope that the author will not follow in his footsteps. I also posted a complaint in "Fairy Cage" before, but it has been deleted. I don't know if this will be the same.
