😋I recommend the following Wuxia novels related to the white-browed hero: " The Book of Heroes " was a traditional wuxia novel written by the author, the husky of Donghai. It told the story of heroes in troubled times and the use of martial arts to break the ban. " One Man, One Sword, I Guarding the Lonely City for 70 Years " was a fantasy high-martial arts world novel written by the author, White-browed Red Panda. The protagonist, Song Yun, was a guard who guarded the Lonely City for 70 years. I hope these novels can satisfy your needs. If you have other related novels, you can tell me at any time.

Alright, I recommend the following doujin novels to you. I hope you will like them. The first was "Reincarnation from the Celebration of the New Year." It was a novel about the infinite heavens. The main character reincarnated in various popular television dramas or novel worlds. The second was "Douluo's Space Battle God". It was a light novel and a derivative doujinshi novel. The main character had a powerful martial soul and a mysterious inheritance. The third was "When a person is in the Douluo, his words are followed by the law." It was about the protagonist having his own author backing him up, making him the Long Aotian of the Dou Qi Continent. Finally, it was 'Douluo: I, Hun Tiandi, was reborn on the Douluo Continent'. This book was filled with humor and comics. The main character was the villain Hun Tiandi who was defeated by Xiao Yan. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Books of related short stories usually have a certain unity. This could be in terms of the characters. Maybe there are recurring characters in different stories, or characters that are related in some way. The mood can also be a characteristic. If the book has a dark mood in one story, other stories might also have elements of that. Additionally, the time period can be a unifying factor. If the stories are set in the 1950s, for instance, they'll all give a view of that era through different lenses.

One great book in such a collection could be 'The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway'. His stories are known for their concise yet powerful writing.

I'd suggest 'The Art of the Short Story' by Dana Gioia. It covers various aspects like plot, character development, and creating a powerful ending. It also includes exercises to sharpen your writing skills.

I'm very happy to recommend the fantasy novel,'Zombie of the Sealed Dao'. The protagonist Chu Nan accidentally turned into a zombie during the process of burying his grandfather and was hit by the corpse beads of two ancestors of zombies. The plot was compact and the description was vivid. The fantasy immortal hero and zombie elements were perfectly integrated. It was very worth reading. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
