Do People Really Read New Books?

I feel like every new author and new book is writing to an empty audience. Can you recommend a few success stories for me to check out?

Ancient-Era Romance

No stories about being reborn or transmigrating!

Political Intrigue, Historical Setting

Are there any grand-scale political intrigue novels like "Scheming for Love" and "The Prosperous Age's Strategist", with court politics and a turbulent martial world, but no domestic infighting?

Does Anyone Read Books by New Authors?

The Lowest-Rated Tomato Novels: Come at Me If You Disagree

I found three books rated below 7.0.

Looking for a Good, Low-Key Historical Romance

An empress or a legitimate-born daughter is fine. Anything goes as long as it's not a farming novel!

Recommend Long Infinite-Flow Novels

Something on the longer side.

Any Good Novel Recommendations? (Female-Oriented)

Why Do Some Authors Like to Write in Such Flowery Language?

Those lines are so painfully awkward to read, but they insist on writing them that way. It feels like they're trying to make themselves sound cultured.

A Peaceful, Beautiful Story with Lovely Writing That Keeps You Reading

Books in the same vein as Palace Wall Willow and Spring Banquet.

Looking for Ancient-Era Romance Novels

Anything in the ancient romance genre

Why Did It Stop Updating?

Have you ever been engrossed in a book, only for it to suddenly go on hiatus? I was angry for ages, then found out why and suddenly felt so sorry for the author! 😭 "Record of the Six Paths’ Flying Birds" is still beautifully written. The author clearly put a lot of care into it, with no typos or awkward sentences. You can tell the author is in poor health, though...

Slow-Burn, Gentle-Paced Stories

Any recommendations for a tender, slow-burn story that still has a good pace? Nothing with stupid, love-brained characters or the leads constantly hurting each other.

My Personal Book Recommendations

Nobody reads the little stories I write, so I made a post specifically to recommend books to myself. If you're interested, feel free to check them out and leave a comment 😭 You can also recommend any books you found amazing, and other authors are welcome to share their works too.

Recommend a Novel That's a Good Read. There Are Too Many Books and I Don't Know What to Pick...

Looking for Good Reads with Beautiful Prose and Rich Detail, No Toxic Authors or Idiot Plots

No brainless protagonists, and nothing too toxic. The writing just needs enough detail to be readable. Last time they told me to read "Ultraman: The Kept Man", and it was so toxic it knocked me out.

Recommend Books with Solid Writing, Logical Plots, and Smart Characters

Those of you who call everything a masterpiece, rave about it, and say things like, “The beginning is so-so, but it gets good later,” while using ridiculous exaggerations, please stop. Seriously, nine out of ten books you people recommend are so cringe-inducing they make my toes curl and could furnish a two-bedroom apartment.

Any Books Written by Beginners?

Looking for books like "Captain! The Vice-Captain Is Slacking Off Again!" Here to recommend my own work!
