    I completely understand. It sounds like

    Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss
    and
    The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
    and
    Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Wife.
    Great books but I just have read and been following very similar ones.

    If you a couple of actual real western books, not web novels, that are free, check out the baen.com free library. You could try A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo, or Redliners by David Drake, or On Basilisk Station by David Weber. All three are very good but be warned about the 1st and 3rd suggestions, both are the start of series.

    I do read western books but I haven't in a while because of time but I will look into it. I love
    Leviathan by Scott Westerfeild. It is also a series.

    - well its quite funny and every latest chapter is a must read.. (atleast for me)

    FMC (100 below chapter for now)

    GE (50 below)

    STH (100 above)

    Perhaps it might be a good idea to create a Reading List for your profile, so that we don't keep recommending stuff you've already read?

    Anyway, it seems like you've read most of the mainstream xianxia novels, so I'm going to go to genres that haven't been mentioned yet:

    Celebrity stories:
    - I'm Really a Superstar: Guy gets transported to an alternate universe where the culture and entertainment industry is really lacking, and sets out to be the top celebrity in China with the help of a game-like lottery cheat system. Can be absurdly funny at times because of the situation he gets himself into and the verbal smackdowns as he faces off against other celebrities and industry leaders.
    - God of Music and Top Management are two great stories about being a manager/producer for celebrity idols. Slightly different perspectives, though, as God of Music is a veteran who transmigrated into their past self (so is a lot more confident and competent) while Top Management is a new employee who gets vague glimpses of the future.

    Modern-day romance (squee-iffic):
    - Hidden Marriage (actress with tragic past becomes babysitter for CEO who's a single father)
    - A Slight Smile is Very Charming (girl gamer in an MMORPG gets proposed to by the top-ranked player in the game, out of the blue)

    That is a good idea but my reading list is used for things I am interested right now. I have read IRAS, God of Music and Top Managment, I am reading Hidden marriage and finished A Slight Smile is Very Charming (ps. Really, Really Miss You is also really good, and captivated by you is also really good as well. If you like A Slight Smile is Very Charming, you should like the other two).

    I'll second the recommendation for Everyone Else is a Returnee.
    As for why, I'm not sure. I just find it enjoyable to read.
    Like what you said in the first post, I get excited to read it, and sigh when I run out of chapters.

    its quite a unique one. it is not a reincarnation MC novel but its similar. Like compared to Tales of Demons and Gods reincarnated MC or sovereign of the 3 realms, the MC of emperor's domination is like the master of the universe that is cultivating from the start.
    unlike other stories where characters are either stupidly ignorantly arrogant or arrogant because they are prideful and talented the MC here is arrogant from the start because he truly can be.
    i definitely recommend it.
