I've been reading for over a decade. I don't necessarily like whatever's popular, highly ranked, or doing well by the numbers. These books survived wave after wave of cuts on my reading lists. I can't say everyone will like them, but they really are interesting.

Is magic really just a wish machine? No, in a universe where magic truly existed, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magic war tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic. But so what? Just like a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, a magician does not need to understand its nature to use magic. Knowing the ultimate nature of magic also does not mean that the tool man can transform into a great magician. But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Even if it is magic that should have no reason at all, humans still hope to understand its inner operating rules. Exploring the ultimate nature of magic requires no reason! The story in the book takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is approximately the 16th century of our universe. However, due to a bit of a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are different from our geographical environment. Here, muskets are on the rise, but armor has not yet come to an end. Military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are endless. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic. The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.

The vast world is coming to life again, and the departed gods and demons are about to return. Armed with a cauldron of gluttony, law student Yang Yu traveled through time and opened his eyes to this specious world in a border town. He saw that on the boundless land, the ancient dynasty was on the verge of its end, and dragons and snakes were everywhere in the flames of war. He saw that after years of fighting, the people were in dire straits. The land of thousands of households turned into white land in an instant, and the country of thousands of chariots turned into clouds and smoke at the snap of a finger. He saw a boy waving a red silk ribbon and dancing around. He saw Orion standing on the top of the mountain, bow bent toward the sky. He saw the giant standing on the ground and holding the sky, and when it roared, the mountains and rivers were shattered. He saw immortals and gods entrenched in the Nine Heavens, talking and laughing, and the world was changing. Yang Yu was silent, confused, and depressed until he let out a shocking roar: "A man should be fed by five cauldrons of food during his life, and he should be cooked by five cauldrons of food when he dies!" "I will never be mediocre in my life!" There are already old books "Projection of the Heavens" and "Da Dao Ji". Friends who like it can check it out.

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. It cannot be denied, but the fact is that there is still an endless stream of people coming to live here. 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.
