Every book on this list is one I’ve read or am currently following. There’s a wide variety of genres, often with books spanning more than one category: wuxia, xianxia, infinite-world fiction, tech-focused stories, original fiction, urban fiction, farming stories, Western fantasy, and gaming. None of these books rely on the same old formulas. Borrowing a template is unavoidable, but at the very least, they don’t just change the names and call it a day. You shouldn’t be able to guess what happens next from the opening. When I read long novels, by the time the plot starts tying things up in the middle or late stages, I often can’t remember who the characters are. That’s why I’m partial to medium-length novels. In my opinion, keeping a novel under two million characters is reasonable. Some books might not be to your taste simply because you don’t feel like looking for something different. I’m not saying every book here is amazing, but none of them will leave you feeling frustrated.

Curator note
The martial arts lineage originated from the rise of the human race in ancient times, with the human emperor Shennong possessing the martial arts heritage. In ancient times, before the human race was born, there were also people with great supernatural powers who created physical supernatural powers called "Law of Heaven and Earth". They gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one body, and could pluck stars, seize the sun and moon, and move mountains and rivers. They competed with the witch and demon races and were the true scriptures for tempering the body with innate spiritual fire. Those who possess innate spiritual fire can comprehend the true meaning and understand the true law, thereby attaining the Great Dao, known as the Great Luo Scripture. It embodies all things, illuminates one's own body, can defy the celestial order, overcome calamities, and attain great freedom and ease. Therefore, the true scripture should not be lightly transmitted. My new book, "The Primordial Lotus Path"
