The Lady Detectives' Casebook: A Brilliant Woman Cracks a Shocking Case

Crime Investigation and Case-Solving, Episodic Stories, No One Big Case Running Through the Whole Novel!

Power Is the Best Tonic for Women, Any Stories Like This?

The Pinnacle of Mystery and Detective Fiction

Fellow bookworms, please recommend some suspense and detective novels with tightly interwoven plots.

Female-Lead Fan, Strongest Female Lead, No Catfighting, and Lots of Well-Rounded Female Characters

No CP, and a female lead who can't stand being wronged even a little. No stories where women suffer: even a little angst makes my heart ache, ahhhhh!

Looking for Novels with a Naturally Brilliant, Machiavellian Heroine!!!

No Romance, No Raising Kids, No Women Fighting Each Other, No Foolishly Generous Heroine, No Excessive Kindness

Why do female-oriented transmigration stories always have the female lead either hand some guy a golden finger or raise a bunch of kids?! And why are all the female characters except the protagonist so badly written in so many stories?! Women can be exceptional too, it's not just an exception! If you hate women, don't write female-oriented fiction!!!

Crime Solving, Suspense, Mystery

All kinds of murder-case mysteries. Those who understand, understand 👀

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

Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist

I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.

Looking for Good Books, Any Length

Books That Introduce Knowledge from Different Fields

I don't just want a novel to read. I want to learn lots and lots of things, like everyday medicines, sleep and healthy living, farming, technological upgrades, and creative writing. It's also a perfect way to pass the time.

Mystery and Detective Novels, No Supernatural Elements, Pure Deduction

Books with Lyrical Prose and a Rich Foundation in Poetry

Beautiful writing that captivates you at a glance is fine, as is something you can savor slowly and chew through piece by piece. I just haven’t found anything like that yet.

Looking for Ancient Detective Novels, Without a Bunch of Women Competing or Domestic Infighting

I want a novel about solving cases in ancient times. Not one that keeps throwing in a pile of household infighting and rivalry between women. No CP is fine, and I don't want the overall atmosphere to be too heavy either.

Any Good Novels with an Ensemble of Female Characters? Nothing Else Comes Close!

A female ensemble cast, any genre. Couples are fine, but preferably no romance 😘

Books With Brilliant Writing That Leave the World in Awe

Books similar to There's a Ghost Inside Me and The Confucian Immortal Who Walks Between Worlds.

Looking for Mystery Stories Focused on Solving Cases, Without Messy Romance

Recommend Mystery and Detective Novels With No Romance

I'm in a reading slump. Thanks!!!

Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System

I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.

Strong Female Lead, Political Intrigue, and a Chaotic Era: From the Start, She’s on the Run as She Fights for Supremacy

Please Recommend Ancient Detective and Mystery Novels, Thanks

Mystery and Crime-Solving Stories, One Case After Another

I don't want one continuous plot that runs all the way to the end. I want each storyline to wrap up before the next one begins.

Looking for an Ambitious, Self-Interested Heroine Who's Highly Intelligent, Cool-Headed, and Always One Step Ahead

A strong female lead. CP or no CP is fine, just no brainless characters.

Looking for Fast-Paced Historical Mystery and Detective Novels! No Romance!

Looking for books like Chang'an Twelve Hours (Complete in 2 Volumes). Any fast-paced historical mysteries with an ancient setting? No romance, and no mindless power fantasies!
