Changelog

What's new on DaoSearch, from the rebuild to new sources and better ways to find your next novel. Latest updates first.

v1.5 · 19 September 2026 · Faloo joins the catalogue

Faloo is now the fourth source alongside Qidian, Fanqie and JJWXC. Browse its novels with translated metadata, genres, tags, audience, word counts and status, or explore its ranking boards and reader-made booklists.

Book pages bring together reader comments, similar-book recommendations, more from the same author and the booklists a novel appears in. Reads, Flowers and Tickets stay consistent across listings, with monthly figures used where available and known totals shown when a monthly figure is missing.

This update also brings a more comfortable page width, consistent text sizes, faster filtered browsing and smoother navigation on mobile and desktop. Discovery is ongoing, so the catalogue continues to grow.

v1.4 · 14 September 2026 · Your own library

Sign in with Google or Discord to keep a private library on DaoSearch. Save novels from book pages, rankings or browse results, and follow booklists to come back to them later.

Browsing stays open to everyone. An account is only needed when you want to save things.

v1.3 · 11 September 2026 · Better keyword browsing

Text searches on browse pages now work with the other sorting options. Search for a fandom or keyword, then sort the matching books by votes, popularity, update time or another metric supported by that source.

Looking for Marvel fanfiction on Qidian? You can find relevant titles and sort them by monthly votes instead of being limited to relevance order.

v1.2 · 7 September 2026 · JJWXC arrives

JJWXC joins DaoSearch, opening up a catalogue of danmei, romance, baihe and fanfiction. Browse translated metadata and tags, with short drafts, placeholders and other low-content entries filtered out.

Explore reader-made booklists with JJWXC's A/B/C grades, channel-specific ranking boards and anonymized reader comments. Filters include era and point of view, with options such as gong lead, shou lead, switching and dual POV where the source provides them.

Booklists and more-by-author links help you explore further. JJWXC does not provide similar-book recommendations, so we don't invent them.

v1.1 · 19 August 2026 · Fanqie arrives

Fanqie becomes the second source on DaoSearch. Its catalogue follows the same browse flow as Qidian, with translated titles, genres, tags, word counts and status filters.

The update adds reader-made booklists, the app's ranking boards, anonymized comments and similar-book recommendations where Fanqie supplies them. Book pages link to the lists they appear in, and supported Fanqie URLs can be sent directly to RandomTranslator through Request a translation.

v1.0 · A fresh start

DaoSearch was rebuilt with a faster, leaner site and a focus on useful novel listings. The new foundation makes it easier to add more raw sources while keeping browsing consistent.

Qidian's official tags and genres make fandom and trope searches much more useful, with curated English labels. Browse official ranking charts, discover reader-made booklists, read anonymized comments and follow Qidian's similar-book recommendations.

Genre, subgenre, word-count and status filters help narrow the catalogue. Search tolerates typos, and pasting a Qidian book URL into the search bar takes you straight to its page.
