While there are plenty of great novels out there, and quite a few on this site alone, I would call this one special. I don't know if the current quality will continue but I'm looking forward to finding out. Here's what's so attractive about Commanding Wind and Cloud: 1. Characters. Despite having some generic tropes, the quality of the characters is a step above similar novels. It's not because they don't fit the usual archetypes (archetypes are used for a reason, they work), but there is more to them than the defining personality trait. Simply put, there's depth. Without spoiling anything with specifics, the characters evoke emotion, intrigue, and find a place in a novel that could ignore them for the sake of letting the protagonist power up and move on to brighter horizons. 2. The main character grows powerful at a rapid pace, but as I said above it doesn't rush the story. In fact, it gives him the appropriate weight one should have when you've grown quickly, and helps push him towards his goal, driving the story as opposed to muddling it. 3. Story driven. As I mentioned above the novel is very story driven. The main character has a method that helps him grow quickly (minor spoiler or absolute genre certainty?), but it doesn't become so central to the story that it becomes the story. In fact, it's done tastefully, giving its own flavor without ruining the world building and character development needed in this type of novel. I could continue to talk, mention good points (and bad, let's face it every novel has some negative attributes) but it's not necessary. I'll simply say this is a novel with balance, and if you like the genre you will appreciate the elements you've come to love and appreciate the focus that went in to keeping everything on track and presenting this story well. At least as of now, though hopefully, it thrives throughout.

On webnovel I would potentially suggest: Night Ranger, It's Not Easy Being a Man After Traveling to the Future, and Super Gene because of where they are at right now. Honestly, though, there are a lot of novels on the site that are worth reading and I read far more than the three I listed above. The key is which novels are worth getting through the lulls. It's very difficult for novels of such length to remain incredible reads for their entire duration, but there are good arcs that can make whatever came before worth it. I'm Really a Superstar is a good example of this, having some really meh arcs and then some of my favorite arcs out of all web novels. Super Gene is probably going to be like that too because it's in the middle of a fun arc right now. My advice, just pick a few with aspects of premises you really like and give them a real shot. Some don't pick up quickly but can surprise you.

I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn't help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire. Firstly, what in the world is the "Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis" spell? And don't even get me started on the "Osteoporosis" spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like "Blood Burn," "Gradual Freeze," and "Mental Chaos." Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities? Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield "Doomstorm" and "Ice Age," swordsmen boast "Sword Rain: Homecoming" and "Wind-Cutter Slash," while archers showcase "Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars" and "Storm Arrow." Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named "Cancer Cell Proliferation," "T-Virus Infection," and "Rabies Outbreak." In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, "Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!" Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, "Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don't know!" Even a boss character confesses, "Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!"
