A Golden Branch Falls to Dust, Yet the Clear Wind Still Comes

Are There Any Books by Authors Who Aren’t Very Good at Writing?

Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs

A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.

I’m 80,000 Words In and Only 9 People Have Read It. Anyone Doing Worse?

I want to read something similar to A Martial World Big Shot Falls in Love with Me. I have been writing for a long time. Maybe it is just my own passionate effort, because absolutely no one is continuing to read it.

Stories Based on Real Life and Personal Experiences

Something based on the author's personal experiences, or a real-life autobiography.

Any Novels About Rural Life? I'm Out of Books to Read

Something with a natural, rural-life feel, like "After Leaving the Army, I Livestream Raising Kids in the Countryside".

Please Recommend Newly Written Novels, Any Genre. I'll Give Them All Five Stars

Laid-Back Farming, Nothing Complicated or Chaotic

Ensemble Casts with Friendships as Passionate and Powerful as Romance

Looking for stories like My Junior Sister Is Obviously Super Strong, Yet Ridiculously Goofy. I want the sect members to get together at competitions, bicker over little things in their daily lives, but stand united when it really matters. They skip class together, cultivate together, and get punished together. No white-lotus female rivals, please.

Feel-Good Stories That Stay Close to Reality!!

I'd like something grounded in reality, but with a sensible premise. It can bend reality a little, and preferably have a System. Stock trading and family infighting would be great, followed by the realization that the protagonist can't measure up to the male lead. Please recommend me some books, experts!!!

Authors, Step Right up and Recommend Your Own Books!!!!

Authors, come on in! I want to read your books!

Looking for a Calm Protagonist With Real Abilities, Not Someone Who Relies on Cheats

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

Any Novels That Feel a Little More Realistic?

Set in a city, with decent writing and a realistic feel.

Only New Books: Works by Newbie Authors

Writing as a newcomer isn't easy. Please recommend other newcomers to me. I'll read their stories carefully and leave comments. I respect every newcomer who puts in the effort, because I'm a newcomer too. Let's help each other out!

Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense

No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.

Authors Nowadays Can't Write Unless There's Showing Off and Face-Slapping, or Someone Getting Mocked

Please, no brain-dead protagonists. I just want someone normal with at least a little common sense.

New Authors Reviewing One Another’s Work

Looking for books like Twin Stars in Ancient Times. It's good, I love it! New authors, let's review each other's books. Tell me when you've read mine, and I'll read yours too.

Looking for Genuine Farming Novels. No Pretending to Farm While Not Growing a Single Grain

Stories Closely Based on Real Life or Personal Experiences

Are there any novels with really good prose that are almost exactly like real life?

Older Man and Young Woman Romance, with a Realistic Feel

Hey, everyone, Zuo Luo and Boss Shi have already read this one! No need to recommend it again. (Sneaking in a question: are there any stories where the male lead is aloof and chaste, but has been plotting to win the female lead over for ages? 👀👀)
