Reader list Male Channel

My journey through online fiction, with reviews. Rated out of ten. (P.S. To all those who keep spouting off, pontificating, and waxing lyrical: why don't you write something yourself? Well, I really did write a book. It flopped on Chuangshi, and lately I've been thinking of revising it and posting it on Qidian to see if any readers might be interested this time. I was young and impetuous back then, and the prose was a bit too intense, so I want to rework it.) In my list, seven points is the cutoff. Some books have titles and blurbs so painfully tacky that I pretend I haven't even seen them. There are books I'd honestly only give three or four points, but their fan communities are huge, so I've had to compromise. If you're new to xianxia, I suggest reading only the books rated seven and above. I've wasted my time, so you don't have to waste yours. I don't know whether online fiction has changed, or I have. Two nine-point works: Tian Xing Jian by Yan Leisheng and Chen Yuan by Yanyu Jiangnan.

The magicians whispered among themselves in the shadows of the tower, and few can hear their gentle murmurs nowadays. In the twenty-second year of the Gregorian calendar, I revisited the place, and the Master's Pagoda was hidden among the shade of sycamore and oak trees. It marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new world. It was also the end of a myth and the beginning of many more legends. A clash of two worlds, a war between two forces, the blood and tears of countless races, the cries of billions of lives… This tapestry is composed of ambition, bloodshed, hatred, plunder, confusion, and joy, and I am at the very beginning.

The azure sea and blue sky are shrouded in the night's chill; what do I care about the waxing and waning of the moon, or its rise and fall? A clear mirror reflects a clear image, a bright vessel cleanses a pure heart. Tears fall among the flowers as I drink wine; the warbling of orioles under the moon silences my zither. A gentleman sighs in the shade of the parasol tree, his reflection lingering in the breeze. —— What kind of person is he? He has no earth-shattering supernatural powers, but he can be called a national hero amidst the dust and grime of the world. What kind of people are they?

Two hundred years ago, on the battlefield of the Blue River, the last legion of the Bright Empire collapsed amidst the clamor of the demons, and the empire's last emperor perished in battle. The chaotic Western Continent, without a common ruler, saw numerous heroes rise and fight amongst themselves. Military might became the only means of survival, and dominating the world was the dream of generations of powerful warriors. In the southeast of the continent, there exists a powerful force that has existed for over two centuries—the Zi Chuan family. They fought against the Liu Feng family to the west, resisted the demons to the east, and suppressed the Lin family to the south. For their dream of power, and for the continuation of their family bloodline, countless outstanding figures of Zi Chuan have followed one after another, composing an epic and magnificent history.
