The Unusual Ghost Chef 非常鬼厨
I’m no ordinary guy, seriously! Other people cook for people. I cook for ghosts… Other people have mature women or little girls. I’ve only got a little girl who can turn into a mature woman at any moment… Other people transmigrate and soar like hidden dragons. I can only transmigrate to set things right, clean up messes, and persuade all kinds of legendary figures to stick to the proper script and set a good example for the kids in the mortal world! During my transmigrations, I dealt with Tang S

The Burden Bearer 扛匠
Another new work from Liuyun, following City of Glimmers, The Return of Gods and Ghosts, and Great Joyful Heaven! The Northern School feels for gold and seeks dragon veins to glimpse the heavens; the Southern School measures the seas, probes the stars, and surveys ancient ruins. I have traveled across all four seas, explored sunken ships on the ocean floor, encountered ghost ships, and even found treasure hidden away by ghosts. The bizarre things I experienced were enough to leave anyone astonis

The Great Transformation of the Land of Bliss 大化乐天

Demons haunted the six realms of yin and yang; monsters and spirits lurked everywhere. Buddhas and Daoist sages, Confucian scholars, yin-yang masters, White Lotus sectaries, and Tibetan Buddhist monks all appeared

The Extraordinary Taoist 超品方士
One thousand and eighty configurations of Qimen Dunjia: ancient arts reborn in the modern age, bold and unrestrained! The Dragon Reveals Its Armor, the Yaksha Probes the Sea, the Five Ghosts and Six Beasts: how are these sinister burial sites concealed in the world? The Buddha's Stupa and Vajra, the Nine Words That Determine Fate, the Three-Part Unity: how can these arts banish evil and champion good? I'm not as handsome as Jing Boran or as cool as Wu Yifan. I can't out-cute Lu Han, either. Even

No Loser Attitude or Mindset, and No Beginner-Level Writing
This old-school reader has eclectic tastes and can read just about anything, but the writing has to be good and the logic has to hold up. The protagonist can’t be a god-tier loser, and they need to be mentally strong.
Niche Picks for Readers with Common Sense, Including Abandoned Gems and Promising Newcomers
I can't guarantee everyone will like every book on this list, but I can guarantee I've personally tried them all. They're mostly niche reads with sensible characters, and the focus is on lesser-known works. Even though very few people follow this list, I keep updating it quietly. Not for any other reason than that these books really are good. Maybe if I look back on them later, I'll feel differently, but I genuinely enjoyed them at the time. They're also books I've liked at different stages of m
Sound Values, Good Writing, and Solid Logic
I read all sorts of books, but the writing has to be good, the logic has to hold up, and the worldview should make sense. The protagonist can’t be some god-tier loser.
