What makes a good work: 1. A sensible plot (the protagonist shouldn't keep having last-minute breakthroughs and one lucky encounter after another, while brainless villains line up to get defeated). 2. Vivid, convincing supporting characters (the author is building a world, not writing a one-man show. Supporting characters should feel real and have their own souls). 3. A well-thought-out setting and a compelling story (the fictional world shouldn't have anything obviously implausible, and the story should draw readers in). A record of some good works from sites other than Qidian: Youming Xian Tu Xin Song Zai Zhi Tian Xia Wen Jing Lian Dao Chang Sheng (abandoned)
