(Updated: 4/19/24) Works that I enjoy in spite of shoddy writing &/or red flags. OR they can just be really great in general lol. Can’t believe I’ve read enough to make a part 2 of this list

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.
