Cultivation Fantasy (Mostly Mortal's Journey)
Beginning with the immortal dream of Dusty Fate, carried forward by Stellar Transformation, turning with A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and coming together in the mortal cultivation genre. I only read cultivation novels! I read both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction! I especially love mortal cultivation stories!
All Masterpieces, Across Every Genre
I've been reading for over ten years. From classic science fiction, romance, and foreign literature to today's online fiction, I've read more books than I can count, across all kinds of genres. I especially recommend works that start out steadily and then really take off. This list features books like that in all sorts of genres.
Picking Pearls from the Sands of the Ganges
This list is simply a collection of stories I like. They do not even have to be complete, as long as they have something that shines. Though I have grown older in years without gaining much wisdom, I have made peace with myself. Because those who are alive still have to keep moving forward. Sometimes I think about the outlines of stories I would like to write, but my prose is poor and I have no time to write them. It is a great regret.

Xianxia Diary
The world of cultivation awaits you. I first encountered novels when I was in middle school, and the first one I read was Zhu Xian. In high school, I read Piaomiao Zhi Lu and A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. That's when I fell deeply in love with novels. I've been especially interested in cultivation and immortal-hero novels ever since. Reading them lets me imagine that I'm the protagonist, adventuring in a vast world of cultivation. I'm recommending excellent cultivation novels

Beihai Cangwu: Xianxia
Refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit until it returns to emptiness, refine emptiness until it joins the Dao, refine the Dao and return to truth, attain the boundless primal unity. Ride the sword through the azure sky, seek the Dao beyond the white clouds. Three thousand tribulations in the mortal world, the fire of calamity tempers the mystic pearl.
Top Picks! Great Writing, No Beginner-Level Prose
This list collects quality novels with polished writing and plots that avoid the usual clichés, as well as some classic older works! Those classics will naturally have flaws if judged by today's standards, so if you're just looking to nitpick, don't bother. I'll occasionally reorganize the list based on title length and publication date.
Books I've Read and Really Enjoyed
I'm into all three genres: xianxia, fantasy, and sci-fi.

Books I Still Remember From the Past Few Years
This list is mainly for my own convenience, but I think a good book is one that leaves you with some impression of its characters or plot, whether or not you finish it. Good books like that tend to rely less on clichés and have strong plots!

I've been reading novels for eight years, averaging seven hours a day. These are some books I think are good! All kinds of genres!
My Reading Room: A Classic Novel Roundup
As a longtime bookworm, first of all, thanks to Qidian, the novel platform. Novels are a great way to pass the time and stretch your imagination... Ah, looks like I've been hooked for a long time... Everything has two sides. Sometimes there are so many books that it's hard to choose. I've read plenty of novels, but only a small number really suit my tastes. So, I'll use this list to keep track of them and get things organized.
Novels I Like
Mainly xianxia, wizard stories, and fantasy

What a jerk the protagonist is! He falls in love with every girl he sees; it's disgusting.
I'd read *The Legend of the Immortal* before and thought it was pretty good. This time, I subscribed to 100 chapters of *The Lone Path of the Great Dao*, but I couldn't continue reading as soon as I reached the VIP chapters. I forced myself to read a bit more and finally figured out what the problem was.
Without exaggeration or bias, let me mention a few key features of this book.
I'm almost done reading, so let's summarize all the pros and cons together. First, a mature and magnificent world setting. It can almost be considered the culmination of Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novels in recent years. Within a relatively stable main framework, the addition of various smaller worlds, ruins, and blessed lands enriches and unifies the overall world structure.
Isn't this supposed to be a solitary path? It's a case of false advertising!
Hey, I heard about this from other book lovers' circles, so I came to check it out. It's true! Who did the author offend? The book lovers' circles are full of negative reviews. I remember this book was pretty good back then.
This book should be Jiang Shan's masterpiece; each subsequent book is inferior to the last.
I seem to remember the protagonist causing death wherever he went, nearly destroying any sect he visited, earning him the nickname "the cursed lone star." 😥
I'm finding it increasingly unbearable to read. I've read hundreds of chapters, and all I see is eating, drinking, chatting, and practicing martial arts—described in such detail, word by word. Are you trying to get the readers to cultivate?! I voted for the wrong thing!!! Can you please speed up the story a bit?!
This book... Just missed becoming a classic. Its rich setting and imaginative plot are strengths, but the author, in an effort to pad the word count, developed very poor writing habits. For example, it repeatedly uses the same few words for psychological descriptions, and the dialogue is overly simplistic, bordering on amateurish.
The worse your negative reviews are, the more motivated I am to keep watching.
