   Works not from SF (sf. Com) are definitely worth watching.

   Surely no one misses Abyss, it's a fascinating world (though a bit angsty). The plot is fast-paced, and the new author, west Yu, is quite intelligent; he wants to write his own story and his own world (though his writing is a bit immature). Everyone has a different perspective; what you perceive as good isn't necessarily good, and what you perceive as evil isn't necessarily evil. Reading it is like watching EVA, where the beginning is full of riddles—it's normal if you don't understand everything (you can tell the author really wants to make the story grand, but unfortunately, his writing skills are limited). The story is very engaging and interesting; the biggest regret is that the emotional portrayal is somewhat lacking.

   I'm still watching it. All I can say is that it's truly remarkable that such a work could be written in a place like SF.

   Curator note

   The pinnacle of SF (Swordsman Online). I once wrote a very long book review to evaluate the content of this book (you can check it out if you're interested; there are no spoilers, just my opinions). The earlier chapters, with their Japanese-style writing, weren't particularly outstanding, but there's no denying that the book's portrayal of characters' emotions is top-notch. Once you've patiently read even a little bit of the beginning, you'll be hooked, like an adrenaline rush, because it's so real—it feels like a historical account, the story of an ordinary villager's own adventure. There's no single protagonist in this book, because everyone can be a protagonist; they are all ordinary yet extraordinary people. (In my opinion, this book isn't good or bad, because the character development is just so incredibly realistic.) There is no right or wrong in the world. Novels that truly reach that level don't distinguish between protagonists and antagonists. They only feature people striving for their own stance and ideals (it can really make you cry, it's all heartbreaking 😅).

6. 6 血 The Blood Princess and the Knight 血姬与骑士 Return of the Han and Tang漢唐歸來Western Fantasy3.7M WordsCompleted I was captured after losing a skirmish against a group of vampires while serving as a paladin. "Oh my, you think I'm going to kill you? Dream on. Accept my first embrace. From now on, I hope we'll get along, my dear daughter." The silver-haired vampire queen, a little girl, playfully lifted my chin and smiled, then aimed her sharp fangs at my neck.

   Curator note

   If I were to rate this book, I would say it's absolutely terrible. The plot is awful, the emotional portrayal is poor, and the storyline is so disjointed it feels like it was written down whatever came to mind, filled with nothing but bad taste. But it just became incredibly popular. You ask me why? My guess is that the main character appeals to your tastes. Some say this book is scathing, and I think it only leaves you with regret because the story didn't unfold as you expected. In terms of sheer absurdity, it doesn't rank highly. However, it's undeniable that this book is the progenitor of this kind of morbidly humorous writing style. If you read similar novels, you'll find that 80% are the same; most authors do indeed draw inspiration from this book. Books from the Han and Tang dynasties are always classics that start strong but end poorly. This isn't a great book, but it's worth reading.

8. 8 人 People Are Searching for the Legendary Me 人们在寻找传说中的我 Gentle Words轻言清语Urban1.0M WordsOngoing The SSS-rank hero, national goddess, and Goddess of Light suddenly went into hiding, but her countless female fans are still searching everywhere for his whereabouts. That's right, it's him, it's him, it's "him"! Our heroine is a guy. The kicker is, he's also the most dangerous criminal of the past decade and the next century, the SSS-rank Dark King, and he has plenty of fangirls. Some girls like her, while others like him. What should he do? (Slow burn, unconventional plot.) 0Tickets16MClicks60.1kFavorites

   Curator note

   "People are searching for the legendary me" refers to the author, who hasn't updated in almost 5 years. It's a typical good-looking but harmless online novel.
