Ghostly Armament 幽灵武装
“I'm willing to offer any sacrifice. Grant me the power to avenge myself!” The girl bowed her head and prayed before the altar. “Let me see what price you can afford.” A skeptical voice came from the unknown darkness, as if judging whether this deal was worthwhile. “Hmm. Mortal beauty withers in an instant, and human souls are frail and foolish. You seem to have nothing at all.” The appraiser sounded bored. “No! I'm still alive. As long as I'm alive, I have hope and a future. I'll offer my life

An Official of the Tang Dynasty 大唐官
For the mighty Tang dynasty, the An Lushan Rebellion was not the shameful end, but the beginning of its transformation. The middle and late Tang period ushered in a new era for China that would last five hundred years, yet it is also one of the most rigidly misunderstood periods in history. A corrupt court? Powerful regional governors carving up the realm? Foreign enemies bullying the empire? Bitter factional strife? Is that really all there was? No. Suzong returned, and Consort Yang died; Thoug

Wings of Frost 霜寒之翼
“Boss, you’re saying that’s a white dragon?” The dwarf stared at the half-visible dragon wing protruding from the great glacier, his face pale and his legs already trembling. The dragon’s wings blotted out the sky, dimming the sun. Its chilling presence seemed to freeze the heavens themselves. “Maybe it is... Fall back. We should leave...” A nameless chill ran through the captain. “Move! Prepare for battle!” A powerful gust tore across the sky, knocking the mercenaries to the ground. The dragon

[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels
Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden
A Little Divination Says: Great Books Ahead!
My bookshelf has always been a bit unconventional. So the books I recommend are mostly ones I personally enjoyed. They're all over the place genre-wise. If a book has something distinctive about it, I'll add it. Take game novels, for example. Though they may be about games, they've grown into worlds of their own. We can just as easily read them as fantasy novels with stats.
Tales of the Strange
Mostly supernatural fiction, like fantasy and dark fairy tales. There are quite a few obscure novels here. I have pretty particular tastes, but I'll recommend books I think are well-written and better than average. I can be picky, so don't be surprised if I drop a book. The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
