Great Books Read by a Veteran Reader of Over Twenty Years
The male lead isn't a self-sacrificing goody-two-shoes, and is decisive and ruthless
A Tribute to the Classics, Featuring the Finest Reads
What does a good book look like to you? What kinds of stories do you enjoy? Recommendations are welcome.
Linlang’s Picks, Mainly for Male Readers
Everyone's welcome to recommend books. Reading slumps are common, but good books are hard to come by, so let's help one another out and share recommendations to keep the slump away.
Recommended Reads
I mainly recommend books by the Reverend. I'll buy the complete editions and read every one of them. To be honest, I don't like all of the Reverend's books; I prefer the ones about vying for supremacy. But as a fan, I want to read everything they've written, including the books that were taken down, The Earth's Last God of War and Goddess in the Darkness. If I've missed any, please let me know, fellow readers. The highest recommendation is five stars. I hope my list brings you joy.
Golden Years
Every book is a different dream.
The Dynamic Duo of Decisive Action: Jiaozhu and Gunda
These two authors have different styles, but both write protagonists who act decisively and study the merciless ways of heaven and earth to prove their own path.

Xianxia and Sci-Fi Fan
The author deserves a standing ovation.
Classics in My Eyes
I put this list together based on my own tastes, so it includes all kinds of novels. Some are acclaimed works by big-name authors, while others are little-known and haven't done well, but are genuinely good reads. Some update regularly, while others update every few days or just a few times a month. None of that matters to me. If a novel is truly good, you'll be happy to pay for the official version and look forward to the author's next update. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so ther
Only Truly Great Books Make the Cut

Laughter, Anger, and Wit, All Turned into Prose
Recommendations from a veteran bookworm who's been around Qidian for ten years
Immortal-Grade Novels with First-Rate Plots!
All I want is a good plot! I can’t get through the novels on the rankings anymore. They’re all the same: fight monsters, level up, kill for treasure, go to auctions and competitions. So here are some unconventional xianxia novels that stand out from the rest. Different, with a rosy glow. How about it?
Books with Smart Characters
The books on this list are for readers with some years and life experience under their belts! The characters are intelligent, and the stories are thought-provoking, with few feel-good moments. If that's not your thing, feel free to move along. I prefer realistic writing that doesn't treat readers like idiots, and stories rich in wisdom about life. This is a niche list, but the stories here are excellent, with vivid characters and ensemble casts full of life.

A Few Thoughts on Ten Years of Reading
The books here have no glaring logical flaws, and their writing is decent. They have great themes, originality, and plenty of charm. Suitable for newcomers and seasoned readers alike. The greatest pleasure of reading fiction is seeing how different people view and understand things from different angles, and being inspired to think.
Ban Shi Qing Xi Pavilion
Anything goes except supernatural mystery. I'm not going to brag about how many years I've been reading. That's tacky. We all came from that era, anyway. The quality of this list is guaranteed, but it won't suit everyone's tastes. In short, the writing is good, the ideas are bold, or the worldbuilding is solid. I don't rule out any genre, as long as the story has something that makes it shine. I'll do my best to describe each book in the review, including its genre and style. One last reminder:

The Path to Immortality

With murderous intent, Jing Ke guarded the path to immortality; a dream of cannibalism and cultivation of immortality was born from divine schemes.
The first time I read this book was in a magazine
It seems to be a monthly magazine cooperating between Qidian and Jingu Legend (not sure). It should have been in 2004. It serialized the ancient and modern chapters, which was amazing. Then I registered a Qidian account. At that time, Qidian had numerous bugs. The one that impressed me the most was to log out and log in again to continuously gain experience.
I initially joined Qidian VIP for the stories of "The Rise of the Purple Gorge" and "The Dragon Slayer of Bamboo Crow," but more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The ancient chapters of "The Rise of the Purple Gorge" are still unfinished, and "The Dragon Slayer" has been taken down. The censorship of mythical beasts is everywhere.
I've read all of the author's books. "The Wind Rises in the Purple Gorge" is the most ethereal and otherworldly Xianxia novel I've read in all these years. Deepest gratitude to the author for their support.
After reading books for many years, I suddenly discovered this old book. The ancient section is truly first-rate, but it seems the author might ruin it if he keeps writing.
I feel that Jing Ke's defense of the Purple Luo Gorge is his best work.
The modern version is considered the number one divine book of modern cultivation on Qidian.
The book that Jing Ke guarded reached its peak with the rise of the wind. Later, it became increasingly naive and presumptuous. Starting at its zenith is regrettable.
This novel is amazing, really! The writing style, the plot, and the descriptions of magical powers and treasures are all superb. It's the kind of cultivation novel I've always dreamed of.
20 Years
Twenty years have passed. I first encountered it in junior high school, and I was awestruck. I kept rereading it until it was abandoned. Online literature is increasingly lacking in writing quality. This should be considered the beginning of the fantasy genre in online literature.
