In a Reading Slump: Looking for a Truly Fresh and Exciting Read

Everyone can recommend just one personal top pick. Please don't suggest books with inflated ratings. I've read most of the famous ones, so I'm looking for something fresh.

Looking for Era Novels Rated 9.6 and Up: Essential Reads for Beginners

I'd like to read books similar to "Reborn in the 1980s: My Wife Is a Little Spicy." Let's talk about those period novels that got you hooked. Recommend one so good you won't be able to put it down. You'll be completely unable to stop reading.

Reborn in a Bygone Era 🙏

Any recommendations for really good rebirth stories set in a bygone era? Please! 😍😍

Books Rated 9.7, 9.8, or Higher

Don't recommend anything rated below 9.7. I won't read it, so you'll just be wasting your time. If I wanted something rated below 9.7, I could find it myself. I want highly rated works with a compelling, fast-paced plot and protagonists with sound values. Thanks.

Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs

A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.

Looking for Rich-Protagonist Stories: No Dumbed-Down Characters, Lavish Spending, No Keeping a Low Profile, and Ideally Real-Life Figures

I want a story where the protagonist gets rich from the start, with little showing off or face-slapping. Keep it somewhat realistic, with all kinds of extravagant spending, and have them gradually enter elite circles. It’d be great if real people appeared in the story, too, to make it easier to immerse myself.

High Quality Only! No Beginner-Friendly Fluff

Metaphysics, the Eight Trigrams, and Feng Shui

Traditional Chinese literature.

Any Novels About a Low-Key, Down-to-Earth Billionaire?

Looking for books similar to "The Frugal Tycoon: The Top Female Donor of a Male Streamer". I want something more realistic and relatable. Stories where people casually spend tens or hundreds of millions are impossible to relate to, so they just aren't satisfying. It's way too exaggerated.

This Poor Daoist Is at the End of His Rope. Can Anyone Grant Me a Good Book?

Is life even worth living when there's nothing to read? I'll trade 50 years of being single for all you fellow Daoists coming through for me. (A good person stays single for life.)

Any Novels Set in Old Shanghai or Old Beijing?

Novels About Stone Gambling, Treasure Appraisal, and Finding Hidden Treasures

Period-Era Fiction from the Male Lead’s Perspective

From the male lead's perspective, preferably with only one female lead.

I Can't Find That Self-Interest Novel Anymore. Come Debate Me If You Disagree

Please, I want stories with self-interested protagonists, like the protagonists in some villain or apocalypse novels, but they don't have to be villains or set during an apocalypse. They act out of self-interest and scheme to use others. Even if there are female characters, the relationship is purely physical, with no emotional attachment.

City Life, Financial Freedom, No Showing Off or Seeking the Spotlight, One Female Lead, Just Enjoying Life

Reborn in a Bygone Era, Making a Fortune Through Reselling

Reborn in Hong Kong, He Inherits His Father's Business and Gradually Builds It Up

A pretty good rebirth story, but the writing just doesn't move fast enough.

Modern Urban Stories: Startups, Everyday Life, Business, and the Workplace

Novels about urban life, starting a business, commerce, and workplace life, from the beginning of reform and opening up to the present day. Reborn or transmigration stories are both fine. I'd mainly like stories that start in China, though stories that start overseas are also

Novels About Winning the Lottery, with Smart Protagonists
