Books I Consider Good, with Quality That Holds Up
There's a mix of completed stories, ongoing ones, and abandoned ones. Overall, nothing too glaringly wrong with them.
Novels That Break Your Heart and Make You Happy, with Plenty of Angst... Hehe
The editor guarantees high-quality titanium-alloy knives, guaranteed to make you cry (a gambler, I mean). Ahem, I’ll try to avoid overlap. These stories come with varying amounts of angst, but honestly, isn’t tragedy often the best? Years after finishing an ordinary novel, do you still remember how it ended? I can’t promise you will. But a novel with a touch of tragedy that stirs your emotions can bring back so many memories. Isn’t an author’s job to guide the reader’s emotions? Give them a try.

This book isn't actually a knife.
I was drawn in by the synopsis, and it took me ten days to read just over 50 chapters. To be honest, the plot is rather bland. It doesn't stir any emotion. After reading dozens of chapters, the main storyline hasn't progressed much; it's all internal monologues. The actual plot is only about 30% of the way through, the rest being the protagonist's self-indulgent musings and melancholy. You could even say the author filled 50 chapters based on the protagonist's self-indulgence and melancholy. It's like diluting wine with water; you drink it, but you can't taste anything. You read 50 chapters, but you can't remember much of the plot. When the setup becomes the main body of the story, it's no longer setup; it's constipation. The plot...
So far, this book is basically a knife, with almost no sweetness.
I was drawn to the book by its premise, expecting a typical "chasing-the-husband-to-be-crowned-in-the-cremation" scenario, but I found something different. The writing is good, and it's quite enjoyable. To be honest, the theme of this book before the protagonist's ascension to immortality is tragedy. Whether it's the protagonist's past tragedies or the hardships of taking on disciples, it all contributes to the book's tragedy. At least up to this point, two disciples have betrayed their master. Clearly, the author intends for each of the five disciples to suffer a similar fate, which makes the protagonist seem very aggrieved, and the disciples quite detestable. These disciples have never shown their master any kindness since they joined the sect. I seriously doubt whether I can accept these ungrateful wretches in the end. Anyway, right now I can't accept any of the slightly heartwarming parts at the beginning, and...
I really enjoyed this work, but I feel the main problems now are the excessive and drawn-out flashbacks, which slows down the main plot. Also, what will happen to the apprentices? According to the book's description, they should be the female leads. But now, whether they become female leads or not is irrelevant. I wonder if the author plans to follow the synopsis and spend time redeeming the female apprentices, making them female leads again, or if they plan to simply introduce other characters?
It's worth looking forward to; there aren't any major problems, and there's still room for improvement.
I actually made quite a few comments about these fifteen chapters and two lines that I only skimmed through, many of which were unnecessary, but they were just on a whim. The author's writing style isn't problematic. From the initial brief introduction of the five disciples to the detailed description of Xia Jun—a neglected, lonely, and troubled elderly man left behind—aiming to become a god, the author subtly reflects various aspects of this world's present and past, interspersed with the author's personal style and some "things everyone likes." Together, they present a world that is somewhat novel yet somewhat lacking, from a semi-first-person perspective. In simpler terms: "The Story of the Left-Behind Elderly Man and Happy's Inner Demon" (currently fifteen chapters...)
Why are all these cultivation novels full of angst?
A very interesting premise, a very heartbreaking protagonist. The heavens are jealous; if I remember correctly, only those purely good to the protagonist can remain unaffected, and such people are probably only children. The eldest disciple is stubborn, taking her master's love for granted. "My master and I understand each other best; he will forgive me." Her character is lacking, her talent unworthy. I truly cannot forgive her for stabbing her master, perhaps because of the heavens' jealousy, but I still cannot forgive the second disciple. Hypocritical, seeing her willing to believe others but not her own master... Well, she should just hurry up and die a horrible death twenty times in the illusion. Alas, the true master is already dead, the one Wuming was so proud of...
The most despairing thing is that, until some point in time, until the author returns to continue the story, Nameless will never get a complete ending.
While visiting the grave, I also took the opportunity to stab the author.
The Christmas chapter really made me cry. I've been waiting for the author to update ever since, just to keep this in mind.
Ball, come back! They can do anything.
The story is heartbreaking both inside and outside of it, and there's no way to force someone to continue if they don't want to. But if possible, could the author say a few words of farewell?
