I'm out of things to read. Lately, I have no idea what to pick up!

Republican-Era Stories, No Couples, and No Brain-Dead Writing

Nothing ridiculously over-the-top with numbers like 999.9 billion, and no System either. I like stories where people achieve their goals through their own hard work. Any protagonist gender is fine, but no pregnancy-and-running-away plots or vague romantic tension with someone.

Historical Romance Like Cherishing the Flowers, Modern-Era Stories Like Xia Xiaolan! I'm Out of Books!

Period Novels with No Romance

I'm looking for a period novel with no romance, no raising kids, and a System. Is that asking too much? I've only found one so far.

Male Protagonist, No Romance or Ambiguity

Looking for male-oriented stories where the male lead isn't cold and aloof. I really don't want any more weird books labeled “no CP” or “no heroine” that still have romantic tension.

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

Short Stories

Looking for short stories, they absolutely have to be short. Thanks! Urgent help needed!

In a Serious Reading Slump!!!! Nothing to Read!!!

I need something unconventional! Something that makes you want to keep reading!

Female-Oriented!!! No Romance! Morally Sound! Any Genre Is Fine!!

I can't find anything good to read at all.

I'm in a Reading Slump. I Keep Dropping Books Halfway Through. Please Recommend Anything, Any Genre

Funny stories, preferably ones that are finished!

I've Read So Many Stories Set in Different Eras That They're Starting to Feel Boring

Any Low-Key Novels Focused on Everyday Life?

No System, and not too much face-slapping.

Please Recommend Some Normal Fantasy Novels! No System

No reborn stories, System or golden finger stories! I want a book with a normal title! Don't recommend those same few books everyone keeps mentioning! I've already read them... Give me something normal! No bizarre opening setups... sign-ins...

Any Low-Key Period Stories?

Period Stories: No System, No Pocket Dimension, No Golden Finger

Novels Set in a Bygone Era! Novels Set in a Bygone Era! Novels Set in a Bygone Era!

I want a story set in a bygone era, but not in some made-up world. Something realistic would be great, and even better if the female lead has a cute little kid. Thanks!

Stories Set in the 1950S, 60S, or 70S. Good Writing, Please. No Transmigration-and-Raising-Kids Plots

Niche but Really Good Novels

Does anyone have a novel that hardly anyone else has read, but that means the world to you and holds an irreplaceable place in your heart?

Finished Books Recommended by a Veteran Reader

Maybe I've read too many books, because I can't get into a lot of them and drop them after about three chapters. If I can finish one and enjoy it, it's definitely a gem worth sharing! I'll update this list from time to time. I've read every book on it myself, though I can't guarantee everyone will like them. 😍

Looking for Books About Life on the Tibetan Plateau. Military or Romance, Anything Goes. Please!

Looking for books similar to *Wilderness Affair*.
