Half the books on the rankings are crap, and every other list is full of abandoned works, unripe seedlings, and toxic reads. This list recommends only top-tier novels that haven’t been abandoned or ended badly, aren’t just seedlings, and have at least a million words. Plenty to read, something for everyone, and easy to get into. Overall rating is out of five ⭐, with no particular ranking. 1 star: decent. 2: good. 3: very good. 4: excellent. 5: perfect. Enjoyment depends on how satisfying, fresh, and entertaining a story is. Emotional depth depends on whether the feelings are richly and convincingly portrayed. Substance depends on the scope, themes, and central ideas. Writing quality depends on pacing, prose, style, and so on. I don’t mind whether a story has a female lead. If it’s well written, I’ll read it. I can accept multiple romantic relationships if they’re handled well. I’ll specifically note whether there’s a female lead. I usually read the reviews before starting a book, so I’m cautious about taking the plunge. That means I don’t have many recommendations, and you may have read some of them already. You can save the list and check back later. A mountain need not be high to be numinous; a body of water need not be deep to be home to a dragon.

Wei Jun confirmed that he would become invincible immediately after being killed, so he began to commit suicide crazily. Then he discovered that the world was toxic.

At that time, I made up my mind that for such a loyal minister, I must protect him." "The Immortal said that I was a lone star in the sky, and death followed me wherever I went. I enforced the law impartially, but was criticized and brought bad luck to others. I have helped many people selflessly, but when I was in trouble, I only received the most criticism.

"Use your strongest momentum and shout 'I am your father' to the soul-eating beast to activate your first fixed professional ability."
