I’m a 60,000-Hour Veteran Bookworm, Already Entering the Great Vehicle Stage of Reading Slumps
I’ve Read Over 10,000 Books. Help, I’m Running Out of Things to Read!
Anything goes, male-oriented or female-oriented, and romance is fine. Just no harems or anything gross. A normal plot and good writing would be great.
I Don't Believe Tomato Has Any Masterpieces with Deep Ideas, Epic Scope, and a Grand, Sweeping Feel
I still haven't found a novel like this.
Authentic Primordial Era Fiction: No Dumbed-Down Characters or Broken Power Systems
Looking for books similar to "Pangu: Systems, I'm Back for Revenge!" I'm really tired of those stories that break the whole cultivation system, as well as the prehistoric-world novels that water things down. They're all so mindless. I want a proper prehistoric-world story, like one about a human sage and so on.
Any Stories with a Protagonist Who’s Calm and Clear-Headed, Without a Violent Temper?
I'm looking for books similar to Cultivators Versus Superpowers. After reading novels, anime, and movies for so long, I've noticed that protagonists usually go from good to evil, yet their high abilities aren't matched by an equally developed state of mind. Are there any protagonists who go from evil to good and have a highly cultivated state of mind?
Any Books You Clicked on by Accident, Couldn't Put Down, and Wanted to Reread?
Historical setting, with a cold and powerful female lead, and a male lead who's the same.
Stories About Developing and Building a World with a Portable Space
Powerful, High-Status Leads and Pure Wish Fulfillment. Make It So Satisfying I Die
Are there any urban novels with an especially powerful identity and lots of satisfying moments? The content can be anything.
The Primordial Era Always Has Hongjun and Yuanshi Fighting. I Want a More Peaceful Story
Can we stop having everyone fight each other all the time? I'd like something more harmonious.

Give Me Some High-Quality Fanfics, I Have No Particular Requirements. I’ve Had Too Much Garbage Lately
Anime fanfiction or game fanfiction is fine, as long as it's good quality. Please recommend me something.
Male-Oriented Fiction with No Romance! No Romance! Don’t Recommend It Otherwise!
Don't suddenly give me a love interest halfway through and then claim there's no female lead. I hate random romance subplots 🙃
A Charismatic, Smart Protagonist, Please: No Pathetic, Desperate Stalker Types

Looking for a No-Romance Novel with a Charismatic Protagonist
Looking for books similar to "How Many?! This Lady Is Playing Three Male Supporting Characters at Once?!" The protagonist can be any gender. I want a no-CP novel with a charismatic protagonist and an author with good writing, preferably one where several characters secretly have feelings for the protagonist. But absolutely no excessive descriptions of the protagonist's appearance.
Please Recommend Novels About Running Things: Businesses, Organizations, or Factions!
I'm looking for books like "I've Got a Career Profile". I don't want vague, all-encompassing business management, or stories where the protagonist sticks their fingers in everything. If it's about a company, focus on one company and one industry! Don't have them manage everything! Let them either run one faction or just focus on that faction.
My Senior Brother Is Too Steady Fan Fics
Are there any fanfics for My Senior Brother Is Too Steady? Please!
Stories With Solid Values, Good Prose, and a Grand Scope
Something like "Cherish the Flowers" or "The Best Lyricist".
I Accidentally Deleted Tomato, So Please Recommend Some Good Books (*^Ω^*)
Looking for Something Unusual with No Romance, Not Another Mainstream Story
I only have one requirement: no ambiguous romance, smart characters, and an exciting story. No brainless characters.

This is the true Heavenly Emperor! He doesn't stand idly by, he doesn't favor one race, and he's not power-hungry. He truly lives up to his reputation as a compatriot raised under the red flag, keeping all beings in his heart without bias. It's a very rare and excellent work of a prehistoric fantasy novel! 👍
I'm completely convinced by this book; it's excellent and highly recommended. The main character is well-developed and has very positive values. The book doesn't bias towards any character based on personal preferences, and it doesn't define a character's character by good or bad, like or dislike. I can only say it's very comfortable to read; a novel with all good people is always better than one with all bad people.
In a sea of online novels featuring the prehistoric era and the sky, "Prehistoric Era: I Am Not for Heaven..." Truly stands out! Unlike many "Heavenly Emperor" novels that are purely for the sake of enjoyment, its scope and theme elevate the entire story to a higher level.
It's alright. I quite like the protagonist's personality; he can't bear hardship and he's calm and collected in his actions. However, the "viewing interruptions" were a bit unpleasant for me. It felt like I was getting into the story when these interruptions suddenly came in, like a lump of phlegm stuck in my throat. It would have been better if these interruptions had been placed later in the plot.
The protagonist is quite a charismatic Heavenly Emperor, highly respected by all powerful figures! I really like this vibe! I look forward to the protagonist ascending the Jade Emperor's throne and conquering the primordial world in the future.
The protagonist is indeed very charming; it's only natural for her to fall in love with His Majesty! The author has significantly altered the characters' personalities and experiences in this book, so there will be quite a few pleasant surprises. However, the main character is very likable.
I think the main character is well-developed. Although he portrays everyone else as ordinary, unambitious people, not like a true saint or someone who has been resurrected hundreds of thousands of times, his actions are quite inspiring, so overall it's pretty good.
It's alright, it feels a bit like AI 🤔 Also, Ao Bing is the son of the Dragon King of the East Sea, the one who's on the Investiture of the Gods 🤦 The Dragon King of the West Sea is Ao Run, I think 🤔 I hope the later plot gets more interesting, like with our three traitors 😏
This is an excellent story; I'd rate it at least 8.5. I've read 200 chapters so far, and there's no romantic pairing, so there aren't any unnecessary or inexplicable romantic subplots, which is a huge plus. The plot is also very well-controlled, with no dragging scenes. The comedic parts are hilarious. There are even some parts that will bring tears to your eyes.
This is a very creative prehistoric fantasy novel, combining the somewhat clichéd celestial realm setting with historical writing techniques within a traditional prehistoric world context. From the chapters already read, the core plot revolves around building a celestial court (more accurately, improving the lives of all beings) rather than cultivation.
