- 1 The Swordstep Court 步剑庭 This is an age when legends grow old: In the north, the Old Dragon King rolls over and the earth shudders. In the west, the peacock lounges amid beauty and has no wish to move. Two old men who wield swords have no grievance against each other, yet must fight to the death. And a poor, miserable scholar tosses aside his books, suddenly draws his blade, and chops apart half the land. This is an age when legends are born anew: The beauty destined to topple kingdoms has yet to learn how to put on mak 2Votes299.2kRecs249.3kFans

The Three Paths 三途志
The story begins one day a thousand years ago, when an ominous star that had been brewing for a long time suddenly appeared in the sky. The transformation of this star chart signaled both the end of the rise and fall of dynasties and the beginning of the young people’s journey to seek the Dao and pursue immortality. They say that demons and evil spirits emerge in chaotic times, and chaos truly did bring forth a world of ghosts and gods beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the heart of the wil

- 5 Divine Journey 神游 [A contracted work of Qidian's First Editorial Group] I have half a scroll of books, and call my carefree transformation. I wave the immortals and Buddhas away, and send my words for the gods to hear. Fu Mo hears them in song; Can Liao passes them on to the dark and mysterious. One finger veils heaven and earth; seeing all things as equal, I forget desire. When faced with the dazzling array of fantasy in literature and legend, have you ever dreamed of living such a wondrous life? You need not i 16Votes626.9kRecs536.4kFans

- 9 EN Inner Demons 心魔 The new book, The Netherworld Painted Skin Scroll, is currently being serialized. The print edition has already been published under the title Formless. Perhaps on a cold winter night, you hear someone softly singing on the other side of a wall: A feather-robed heart, as pure as clouds, a zither, a sword, and a brush. Light snow, a red brazier, yellow-sprout wine, reading the Purple Star and Dongting scriptures by night. The lingering melody sounds like mus 4Votes410.7kRecs584.5kFans

[Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds] Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)
