After My Return, His Majesty Won't Leave Me Alone

Tired of Courts Full of Treacherous Officials: Give Me a Loyal Court from the Start

Not a court full of corrupt officials, please. There are too many of those. I want to read about a court full of loyal ministers.

I'm Out of Things to Read. Looking for High-Quality Stories with Great Writing and a Smooth, Unawkward Plot

I'm more interested in historical settings. Farming, fantasy, palace intrigue, romance, or male-male pairings are all fine, as long as the writing and plot are good. Ideally, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings between the leads. These days I drop so many novels before I even get halfway through. The ratings are ridiculously inflated, and I don't even want to get started on the leads' characterizations.

Any Recommendations for Books That Are Still Great on a Third Read? Historical Romance Preferred

I mostly read historical romances. I'm looking for something with good writing and plot that's complete.

A Novel with Such a Captivating Feel, Leaving You Wanting More After You Finish

Nothing in particular, just read!

I Can't Get into Anything Anymore. Looking for Fresh, Completed Books

Any Palace Intrigue Recommendations? Smart Characters, No Lying Flat

Looking for books like *Transmigrated as a Cannon-Fodder Imperial Consort, I Lured Him into Making Me Empress*.

Any Female-Oriented Novels with a Bigger Scope, Not Focused on Romance?

I'm So Bored with Nothing to Read. Recommend Me Something and I'll Roast It. Thin-Skinned Readers, Stay Away

For male-oriented novels, I want strictly no romance. For female-oriented novels, romance is fine, but I’d prefer less of it. No female leads who are obsessed with romance. No showbiz, harems, frustrating plots, saintly or overly kind protagonists, doting-wife tropes, or bizarre, jumpy writing styles. Don’t recommend anything where more than 30% of the story is downbeat before things turn around.
