    We all did it at least once even if we don't admit it.
    What are some novels that you didn't think you would like them, but when you gave them a try you was proved wrong (or vice versa )

    For me it was issth I didn't think I would like it but when I actually read it I couldn't stop laughing because of meng haos antics .

    Nope. I'll read pretty much anything. Though there have been novels that have disappointed me like CSG...yeah that's kind of my only mistake.

    Even with your com, I can't resolve myself to read it. Is it so good ? The story makes it look like some sort of seinen. For me a xanxia is mort like a shonen so I can't understand if this novel should be boring serious or as good as a xanxia.

    (Not that I don't like seinen, just the subject seems weird ... boring).

    Took me quite a while to pick up LLS. I'm not really big on the whole 'summoned beasts' thing, summoning usually puts me off straight away so I put it away and waited until I ran out of things to read. Glad I picked it up though it's one of my favourites now.

    Its like saying killing low levels in an mmo is a good thing to do at all points in the game. When you first start that's all you can do but as you get better you stop killing the level 1's and move up to higher levels etc.
