Dreams Among the Flowers: The Wandering Cloud Swordsman

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.

Well-Written Martial Arts Novels

Looking for Well-Written Books With Occasional Poetry, Famous Quotes, and Fun Facts

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

Wuxia Novels with Intelligent Characters

Looking for books similar to *Report! This Demon Suppression Guard Is Way Too Reckless*.

Comprehensive Wuxia, Read Carefully: Comprehensive Wuxia, No Harem

Absolutely no harems!!! Why turn a wuxia story into a womanizer's fantasy? The greatest hero is one who serves his country and people.

I’ve Been Consumed by the Great Dao of a Book Drought, and My Interest Has Been Worn Away. Please, Everyone, Help Me…

Looking for books like *I Turned into a Young Dragon and Got Picked Up by the Campus Belle, Shocking the Whole World*. Something with an interesting plot that seems absurd at first but is actually well thought out. Sci-fi, fantasy, cultivation, and similar elements are welcome.

Wuxia Jianghu

Good male-oriented fiction

Books to Read Before Bed

When I have nothing to do before bed, I feel like reading for a while. Are there any books that are easy to fall asleep to, but don’t have a boring plot? I love that feeling of nodding off while reading, then waking up in the morning and picking right back up where I left off.

Wuxia Without a System, Making It on Your Own ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ Elegance Never Goes Out of Style

Looking for Obscure but Great Books, I'm Tired of Popular Ones

The popular stories all seem to have only slightly different plots, while everything else is practically identical. After reading too many of them, I get a little tired of it. I am looking for some lesser-known works to cleanse my eyes. Many thanks to all my brothers and sisters here.

Ugh, Too Many Armchair Intellectuals. All Pen, No Ink. Better Off Reading More Books

There are so many shallow novels, especially wish-fulfillment stories. They’re written just to fit the premise, without even including the things that should be there for that genre. They’re not written for people to read. There are so many absurd stories where the characters’ intelligence gets dragged across the floor, and the writing makes it obvious the plot was thrown together on the spot.

Looking for BL with Good Writing and a Strong Focus on the Plot

For example, they meet at work, then grow closer while working together. Either a happy or a tragic ending is fine.

Are All the Books With Sane Values Gone? The Recommendation Lists Are Full of Sociopaths

Can we get some normal recommendations for once? My standards are low: just decent values and sensible logic. Don’t recommend things like *Criminal Law* or *The Diary of a Madman*…

Looking for True Martial Arts Novels, Not Cultivation Novels Disguised as Martial Arts

Looking for novels that are genuinely about martial arts training, or traditional martial arts, hard-body training, internal martial arts, and the like. Not cultivation novels.

Looking for Recently Launched, Obscure Hidden Gems With Potential

Wuxia Novels

Are there any wuxia novels like those by Jin Yong or Liang Yusheng? Thanks for the recommendations!

I’m Out of Books, I’m Counting on You All 👀

Something like *Slay the Gods* would be ideal.

Looking for a Novel with Nuanced Emotions and a Roller-Coaster Story

I’m looking for a novel with subtle, realistic, objective emotional writing that shows how feelings change over time; a smooth, compelling plot that avoids cliches, constant supernatural nonsense, and showy prose; and plenty of twists and turns. Any genre is fine.

Wuxia Novels, Not Fantasy Ones, Like This
