Leveling Up on the Peninsula 我在半岛升级中

Major flaw #2: The author keeps changing the character's background and identity, and the writing gets very confusing. Read with caution. Ma

There are still too few novels about the Ninety-Five Flowers. The list is capped at 50 books, and once it's full, I'll gradually remove the ones with terrible prose or plots.
