Let’s Recommend Books to Each Other, with Comments and Paragraph Reviews

I’m looking for books similar to Western Fantasy: Is This Really a Farming System? I’ll make time to review yours too. I’m new here.

New Authors With No Traffic, Come Swap Reviews and Keep Each Other Warm

I'd like books similar to *At the Summit of Beifeng*.

Looking for a Food Novel About Simply Cooking, Opening a Shop, and Everyday Family Life, With No Scheming

High-Quality Alternate-History Fiction

Wuxia, not xianxia. The protagonist should be a skilled fighter, and it shouldn't be some brainless power fantasy.

Looking for Ancient Settings, Political Intrigue, and a Highly Intelligent Protagonist

A powerful male and female lead, political intrigue, and an ancient setting.

Looking for New Tomato Novels That Aren’t Popular, Ideally Ones Almost Nobody Can Find

Any Good Books Where Every Character Is Smart, the Logic Is Sound, and the Story Flows Well?

Classic Wuxia Novels

The martial world, tender romance, light-footed martial arts, suspense, and... swords!

Any Food Stories Rated 9.5 or Higher?

Looking for books like *My Food Stall Moves to a Random Location, and Diners Chase Me for a Meal (Random Food Stall)*. Does anyone have food-themed stories rated 9.5 or higher to recommend? Ideally, the protagonist runs a food stall, or transmigrates to ancient times and makes a living selling food...

Food Novels Focused Purely on Cooking, No Random Plotlines!

Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!

Food Stories That Promote Chinese Cuisine

Female protagonists, please.

Any Excellent Historical Novels?!

I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!

Looking for Historical Sky Screen Fics That Keep Up With Current Events!

Stories featuring all kinds of historical songs, like “Five Thousand Years of Chinese History” (is that what it’s called? The rap song about history), or the student poetry recitation “What If Li Bai Had Never Existed,” which I just came across. A lot of stories like these use really old tropes.

Foodie Stories, but Not the Kind Where the Characters Work Themselves to Death

Wuxia Novels

Wuxia novels.

Historical Romance Novels

Food-Focused Stories

Looking for some good food-themed novels.

A Female Lead Who Excels at Political Scheming: A Powerful Woman and a Satisfying Story

A tightly woven plot, with a female lead who's pulling the strings. Basically, she should be capable and clear-headed, or help the male lead wage war.

A Wide-Ranging Look at Daoism and Mythology, with a Smart Protagonist

A fresh premise and exciting content.

From Jin Yong to Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Fantasy Rebirth, Cultivation, and Transmigration
