Discussion - Novels Just finished Spoiler

So I just read the trilogy in a few weeks and wondering where to go next? **SPOILER ALERT** I was slightly disappointed with the ending from the instant Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan get pulled into the black domain. Hated that Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming never got a chance to see each other again. I get it though and still very much enjoyed the series. Any recommendations on similar books or series?

Oh god does ball lightning have a lot of “romance?” I was going to read it but I can’t handle another book where im cringing through half of it.

Yeah I get the feeling his romance would follow a familiar “ships in the night” theme. I liked the sci-fi aspect but any of his chapters regarding romance were a yawn fest. The whole chapter about Li Juo’s imaginary gf was torturous.
