The Red Tassel Record 红缨记
The story is set sixteen years after the events of various original works. In principle, this book will touch on the original plots only sparingly, focusing instead on telling the stories that come afterward. For instance, Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying's married life; Yinggu, the Old Urchin, and Master Yideng living together; Dongfang Bubai, who didn't actually die, climbing out of the lake to continue secretly loving Linghu Chong; Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong's life as an older man with a much y

Aoba Paranormal Agency 青叶灵异事务所
My name is Lin Qi, and I work at the demolition office. At the beginning of this year, I was put in charge of demolishing an old residential complex. One resident had a strange sign hanging by the door: “Green Leaf Paranormal Affairs Agency.” The house had been turned into an office, but it had long since been abandoned and was covered in dust. Inside the filing cabinets, countless documents and records were neatly arranged. Curious, I sorted through them and discovered a bizarre, terrifying wor

Cultivation Chat Group (The Daily Life of a Chat Group) 修真聊天群(聊天群的日常生活)
One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for veteran sufferers of immortal-cultivation chuunibyou. Everyone in the group addressed one another as fellow Daoists, and their profile names were all things like Palace Master, Cave Master, Perfected One, and Celestial Master. Even the group owner's lost pet dog was described as a great demon hound that had run away from home. All day long, they chatted about alchemy, exploring secret realms, cultivation experiences, and such. Then one

Time is a ship. Some people like to think of those few years in the early 1990s as the final voyage of a once-innocent era. Jiang Che, long since changed by the passing years, returns against the current and starts over in 1992, writing a brilliant youth that can finally be laid to rest properly. [Welcome to the second VIP group for Reversing the Current of Innocent Days: 497283806 (You must provide a screenshot showing you’ve purchased the whole book to join.

Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've
Top-Tier Cultivation Fantasy with Solid Logic and Smart Characters
❤️ I favor satisfying stories with strong plots and clever strategy, and avoid shallow, fast-food novice fiction with flimsy logic. ❤️ My only screening criterion is the quality of the writing. I don't care about an author's reputation, and I include quality works from all kinds of genres. ❤️ The books near the top are ones I'm currently following. I also occasionally recommend promising new authors as a favor. ❤️ Every book has been selected after extensive reading. No padded, slapdash stori
