No-Harem or Single-Heroine Reads
I'm picky about what I read and can't stand harem stories. I also have high standards for the writing. Every book on this list is one I've read myself, so the quality is guaranteed. There aren't many great books without a female lead, so there may be some with a single female lead; I'll make that clear. Updated from time to time.
Good Books Not to Be Missed
I've been reading for years, and these are the books I found outstanding. I'll update the list from time to time. I hope it helps you discover books you'll love. Thanks!
☯ Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism 📿
Great is the origin of creation. All things draw their beginnings from it. Clouds move and rain falls, giving shape to the myriad things. The cycle of light and darkness reaches its end and beginning; the six lines take form in their proper time. Riding the six dragons, one may rule the heavens.
Books I've Read
Reading Memories
Every novel on this list is one I’ve read. The list is a bit eclectic, but the ones that stuck with me all have something special about them. It’s a little niche, so if you like it, remember to give it a like 😊!

Primordial World Fiction
Heaven and Earth, Dark and Yellow; the universe, vast and wild. Most primordial-era novels are about a young man who transmigrates or is reborn in the early days of the Primordial World, when chaos first gave way to creation, and then steadily cultivates and grows stronger. But the genre's worldbuilding is so vast that most authors struggle to handle it, so many stories end up abandoned. A salute to Dao of the Buddha!

This is the number one book on the primordial era in my mind. After this book, there will be no more primordial era novels.
[Comment] Dream Come True is now online, please support it!
The vast land of China, a land of ancient civilization! Legends of gods and immortals abound! However, when the various schools of thought discussed immortality, each presented their own doctrines, which contradicted each other, leading to a lack of consensus. Even today, when viewed in general terms, their theories are not convincing to themselves, let alone to others.
Is the author still writing?
This book and "Buddha is the Way" are my favorite examples of the prehistoric fantasy genre.
So many years have passed, does anyone know if the author has released a new book?
[Comment] About the Immortal Realm
Humans follow the laws of the earth, the earth follows the laws of heaven, heaven follows the laws of the Tao, and the Tao follows the laws of nature! Furthermore, there are the two paths of birth and creation, which, under the protection of the Great Way of Nature, bring about countless achievements and endless life, thus permanently eliminating the calamities between Heaven and Man!
[Comment] On the conflict between Heaven and Man
The questioner asked, "Master, what is meant by the conflict between Heaven and Man?" The answer was: "The way of Heaven is to take from the surplus to give to the deficiency; the way of man is not so, but to take from the deficiency to give to the surplus. Therefore, as the way of man prospers, the way of Heaven diminishes, diminishing again and again until it declines.
This book is excellent, forging a new path beyond the ways of predecessors, much like the Great Dao of Zhen Yuanzi, truly profound and extraordinary! It is not bound by tradition, and it sheds the banditry often found in online novels, possessing a unique charm. Opening the book is beneficial; among all the prehistoric novels I have read, this book can be considered a masterpiece!
The book is very good, and it's fine if he has a lot of apprentices, but the ones he's taken in, whether they're his own or his apprentices' apprentices, are all disobedient and always running off on their own. If I were them, I'd just kill them. They're so disobedient, meddling in things that aren't their business.
Worldly Falsehood I shut myself in, too lazy to go out, and public opinion is discordant. I stroll the streets with a cane, my discerning eyes disgusted by the aimless wandering. Those in the community criticize my faults, those who sever ties are angry at my deceitful words. It's difficult to be a decent person; every action invites slander.
