Strange Dao Immortal
道诡异仙 · 狐尾的笔
A man in a Chinese psychiatric ward realizes he can also see the cultivation world — and he's not sure which one is real.
Li Huixian believes he is a paranoid schizophrenic in a modern hospital. Then he also believes he is a struggling Daoist cultivator in a brutal ancient world where the gods are real and the demons are hungry. Each chapter flips between the two realities — and the line between hallucination and genuine cosmic horror is the whole point of the novel. Won multiple 2023-2024 reader awards, currently one of the most-discussed ongoing xianxia on the Chinese web. Unique hook for foreign readers: the horror/mental-illness framing translates into English extremely well.
The opening chapters are free and hosted by Qidian (Yuewen) itself — we link out to the licensed source and never store novel text here.
What readers say
Real reader reviews pulled from Goodreads and Douban — verbatim, in the reviewer's own language, with their star rating.
强在世界观的设定，但弱在人物塑造和故事情节，文笔比较差，情节写着写着往往就走了，说好的押镖写了几十章之后就好像没这回事了。
整体都很精彩，民俗克苏鲁，非常癫。中间有一小段有点太啰嗦了，节奏太慢，后来又正常了。结尾之前一小段也是，卡得厉害，日更害得，希望将来修文的时候，能改简洁一些，无限回溯这种桥段没什么意思，改得更简洁一些会更精彩。
