I'm Out of Books to Read! Novel Recommendations!!
I'm in a reading slump. Nothing I read feels right lately. Could you all share the books you've been reading so I can give them a try? Let's trade recommendations. The books below are from my shelf, books I used to love (✪▽✪).
I'm Out of Books to Read, Nothing Seems Interesting. Looking for New Ongoing Novels
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.
Historical Romance with a Maidservant Female Lead and a Chaste Couple
Begging for recommendations 📖 No one being reborn, no one transmigrating, and the leads must both be pure. Historical romance, with the female lead as a maid or handmaid and the male lead as a crown prince, emperor, heir, prince, or the like. Anything works.
Plain, Unattractive Ordinary Heroine and Handsome Big-Shot Male Lead, Both Each Other’s First
A male-male pairing is fine too, as long as one is ugly and the other handsome. Or a plain-looking heroine with a kind heart.
Looking for Stories with a Tsundere, Pure-Hearted, and Adorable Male Lead
Looking for books like *After Her, the Gods Fell Silent [Quick Transmigration]*. I'm begging for a female lead who's adored by everyone, not just a magnet for men, someone loved by both women and men. Any personality or tone is fine, from vicious to mild to dark. Just no airheaded beauties.
Any Really Great Palace-Intrigue Novels?
Looking for a High-IQ Heroine!!!
Looking for books similar to Against the Heavens: The Adorable Beast, the Peerless Demon Girl Rules All. I want a highly intelligent female lead who connects every move, plans a hundred steps ahead, and commands the whole situation. It does not have to be palace intrigue or household intrigue. Any subject or genre is fine. For example, Yin Nian, Xu Lingqu, Zhao

This was a promising work recommended to me by the system, and I genuinely thought so too. However, I'm deducting one star because I felt the pacing was a bit too slow; those without patience might not want to continue reading. But I still kept reading because the author's writing is indeed very good, describing scenes and characters very well.
Worth reading! The female lead's character is brilliant. She's like a miniature version of Zhao Gao (a notorious villain in Chinese literature), turning evil, dying, and returning to a pivotal point in her fate. She confronts her past evil and rediscovers her innate goodness. What's heartbreaking is her first cry—a cry of grievance.
So far, it's not bad. To be honest, the female lead's current character design feels a bit strange and contradictory. She was a wicked servant in her past life, committing countless evil deeds. With this rebirth, she should still possess all her cunning, resourcefulness, and intelligence. At the very least, she's grown older and more mature.
I like Xiao He because her character is relatively ordinary; she's not beautiful, rich, or talented from the start. Her strengths and weaknesses are gradually revealed, and everyone understands the joy of a nurturing relationship. The male lead doesn't force his love from the beginning either; instead, they get to know each other slowly, and her true nature is revealed gradually.
Honestly, the female lead's mute character design is really bad, but the male lead is very well-developed and complex. His talk of being a "deadbeat" and his subtle jealousy are so adorable. The male lead's tsundere personality is so appealing to me; I really love him, I can't resist him, and he even knows how to win people over! Five stars are for the male lead; I'm truly in love with him, I can't take it anymore 💕💕💕 Author, please update soon, are you trying to kill me? 🥰🥰🥰
The writing is quite good, and many of the details about the past and future lives are quite interesting. The male lead's character in this life is portrayed as intelligent, with a certain degree of emotional fastidiousness. How could he tolerate Zhuang becoming a concubine and even allow her to have a child?
It's very well written! 😢 The male lead's character is really good. To be honest, he's much better than some of the male leads in other novels. He's pure and doesn't look down on the female lead. In some novels, the male lead really does look down on the female lead who has a lower status, but then gets proven wrong and becomes a fan.
I love this setup! The male lead's self-control and subtle jealousy are so endearing. The female lead's personality is also wonderful. She's gotten her revenge on those who wronged her in her past life, and now she'll live her life to the fullest. Please update more often!
It's so well written, so interesting, but it's so short, hehe. The food was really good. It had a strong start, then a decline – what a pity. Continuing to watch it now feels like a lump in my throat… I'm numb, I'm getting stuck as I keep watching.
It's truly a great watch. Xiao He's emotions and rationality align with the class consciousness of the time, reflecting the struggles of those at the bottom of society to survive. Furthermore, her feelings for the Emperor are also constrained by class considerations and her past experiences, making it difficult for her to express her true feelings.
