It's a cup of damned Victorian fantasy. Add a scoop of steam engine and make that damn tech tree move! Add a spoonful of love and hate and give everyone a reason to fight! Add a spoonful of psychosis to make this dark world easier, and finally add a spoonful of natural disaster to be the main boss... And so on! Too many bad days! … Year 931 of the Inverg calendar. My city has been rated as the most advanced city in the West. The main reason is the steam technology that subverts the world, emerging technology and the source of chaos.

This city will always give you a glimmer of hope, whether it's a lie or an illusion, but it's so close at hand, as if it's within reach, making you risk your life. Psychedelic city. I am a dreamer.

I opened the dusty pages of the book and crossed the galaxy to a strange universe. Someone who recited the sutra, flesh and blood bloomed all over the valley, and thousands of voices shouted in unison: "The Tao is indescribable and indescribable. It is inspired and responds. It transforms into 129,600 fruits. It ascends to heaven and harmonizes all things!" Someone who has something to do with a god has scales on his face, cracks on his spine, and Fuhai murmurs: "Holy Lord Wuguang! The end of the final king! I offer this world to you, may the stars turn into fools, and glory return to the mother of all things! Listen to these words and come, listen to these words and come!" I raised my head and saw the Heavenly Lord standing high above the stars, with a great crown of gray and white bones growing from the back of his head. Wanlong used flesh and blood as threads to weave the true cultivator into a Taoist robe, becoming one with Him. I lowered my eyes and saw the spirit emerging from the abyss. The worm was his body, the wings were made of eyes, the flesh and blood crawled under the holy light, and the skinless favored ones howled miserably in his kingdom. I didn't know who to turn to for a while. I just want to live a long and healthy life. Are there any non-toxic and harmless varieties? This is a story about an ordinary person traveling between multiple worlds, facing the indescribable, exploring the indescribable, and ultimately becoming the indescribable. This article is a multi-world anti-travel text that integrates multi-system settings. The early stage is realistic and the Western background of the 17th century, and the middle stage is the ancient Eastern background.

Now his adoptive father is the latest version of the leader of the villain organization. And his identity will be exposed six years later, and he will jump back from the protagonist's side.

The books I subscribed to and read were paid for and actually read, so I have the right to evaluate them. These ratings are primarily based on my personal tastes, so the same book may receive a somewhat different rating from other readers. Take them only as a reference. I especially recommend books rated above 3.5. I have also been reading for around ten years. This time, my main goal is to organize and summarize my reading, so there will be many old books from more than ten years ago. If you do

A Selective Reading List of Excellent and Decent Xianxia

Traditional wish-fulfillment stories and books with stale writing are almost nonexistent here. I don't give scores or label everything as either “Good Herb” or “Immortal Herb,” because everyone has different tastes, and drawing distinctions too finely can start arguments.

I can’t promise they’re great, but at least they’re readable. I mainly look for something fresh, and only recommend stories whose plots suit my tastes. I’ll rate them later.
