An immortal comes, treading starlight, known as a seeker of the Way and the immortals. I am no weary traveler of the mortal world, with nowhere to call home. I eat wild fruit, swallow clouds and mist, and in my spare time, roam the skies with cranes. For hundreds of years, I’ve kept far from the mortal world, its smoke and bustle. An immortal comes, moon in hand, known as one who loses the way and never returns. A great dream of forty years in the mortal world, all lived to the fullest. All things come to life, insects sing, and winter frost and lingering snow make a lovely sight. So much joy: have you ever stopped to appreciate it?

Arts and Literature Version: Lingering on the Double Ninth Festival, I recall the place where I once discovered the secrets of peach blossoms. With a heart opened to the Great Dao, I ascended to the Ninth Heaven. Looking back from the ends of the earth, I see no trace of my old friends from my hometown. They have ascended to heaven, living as long as the immortals. Funny version: He transmigrated to a world of immortals and heroes, carrying mysterious dragon scales. The path of immortality? The path of demons? This is just a stage play by a madman with a split personality and a group of master actors. "Senior brother, senior brother, come with me to deal with Xuanmen Qinghong?" Sorry, that was my avatar. "Junior brother, junior brother, let's go find the demon dragon and settle accounts." Sorry, that was also my avatar. "Ah, what good luck I have today! I've actually received guidance from a celestial being." Well, that's me in disguise. He embodies countless forms, his personality splitting into multiple roles. Today he aids the demonic path against the immortal path, tomorrow he helps the immortal sects crush the demonic path. Hidden behind the scenes, he manipulates the conflict between good and evil. Unbeknownst to him, he has become a true master, establishing the Nine Heavens and embarking on the path to immortality? Life is indeed as lonely as snow.

The Abyss Gazes Back at Me

I mostly recommend dark stories, but with massive creatures running rampant under the censor's watch, I can only get by recommending stories with no female lead or cool-headed, rational protagonists. I'll do my best to make sure the characters aren't idiots and the plots make sense.

A lot of the books on this list are ones I really enjoy. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so there's a bit of everything: history, xianxia, fantasy, urban life, short stories, and more. Ahem, some were recommended by friends, but I'll always read a chapter or two before adding them. If they're too awful, they won't make the list. (No horror or supernatural stories, please.) I'll be adding some novels I've been reading lately.
