A Rather Chaotic List, Mostly Western Fantasy
Rants and recommendations are all mixed together. I tend to favor ukes and like semes who dote on their ukes. As long as the protagonist is well-written, nothing bothers me.
Free Reads
Some decent free stories I've read, both popular and obscure, in all kinds of genres. I'll keep adding more.
Some Free Novels (A Messy Mix)
Free stories can't make it into the top lists, so I'm gathering the free ones from my bookshelf here. There's BL, BG, and no-CP, all jumbled together. I've read some and haven't read others

A Collection of High-Quality Ancient BL Novels with Brilliant Couples and Political Scheming
Keywords: political intrigue / business management / fantasy / world-building / imperial exams / mystery / Republican era / ancient times (Ongoing updates. I'm a tough grader, so three stars is a high score. Good for when you're out of things to read.)
Great Stories Speak for Themselves
A selection of niche gems picked out over many years of reading, mostly sweet, doting romances! Nobody told me the comments attached to my ratings would be visible here!? More to come.
Absolutely Fantastic Free Danmei
The top and bottom are a perfect match! Super sweet, and it costs nothing! Adorable little couples cuddling together! Older books, especially those over ten years old, may reflect very different attitudes. I don't hold them to modern standards, so judge for yourself.
I Need to Make a Danmei List
I used to love serious dramas, but my tastes run to melodrama and plotlines that make you cringe. Original danmei hasn’t been doing it for me these past few years, so this is mostly older stuff. The authors’ scandals don’t stop me from loving their stories. Adding more as I go.

I was very angry at first, but it turned into a sigh at the end. It can be felt that the author wants to shape the characters and that the character determines the fate. . . The author loves the characters he writes and has no bad intentions, but that's not how the novel is written. In the end, the story can only be described as sparse in terms of plot transfer, emotional undertones, and macro conception. Abuse or not, what happened was tragic or not, it's not a point of criticism, although I'm also confused as to why it wasn't mentioned in the rating section. The problem is that it's a bit of a torture, and a lot of things happen in the plot, and I don't know what the author wants to express. Honest people have character weaknesses, good people also encounter misfortune, and bad people may not be punished. In reality, many historical changes in people's experiences are accidental, and a character may not be able to grow. But novels cannot be written like this. In the final analysis, novels are a carefully designed box garden and a systematic expression of emotions and values. The macro-narrative value construction of this article is very poor, and no one can be seen to have any political stance that can withstand reflection. So let's not talk about this aspect and just look at the individual growth and emotions of the characters. Not at all on this point either. Let's talk about offense first. This person's personality is unsustainable and his motives for behavior are hasty. The author wants to create a powerful creature who is born for revenge and whose value spectrum is gray. The shaping at the beginning was pretty good, but from the middle onwards I didn't know what I was doing, and the plotting and action lines were a mess. The black person will be attracted to the pure white person, who is kind and pure, which is good, but the relationship has not been formed well from the beginning. The feeling it gave me at first was very cute, but this kind of cuteness is the love that people in the world have for a pure and harmless little animal in a peaceful and prosperous world. I don't know what kind of existence such a pure and cute little animal is to the heroes who are busy fighting for power in a fierce military conflict, but anyway, I can't accept the design of playing house together in the mountains. The author may also feel that it is unreasonable, so he added a trap skill. The power of this skill is quite Schrödinger's (in the words of male fans, it means that the combat power value collapses). Whether it can play an important role depends entirely on the author's head in the plot, so readers will feel like they are being fooled when they see some plots. Let's just look at the initial setting, where a pure man walks around in a busy city holding gold. For the attacker, this kind of combat power is easy to win and use. This is actually an opportunity for the two people to develop a relationship and have emotional conflicts, but it was not written well at all. The relationship between love and love has no origin and no end. It feels like the author didn't think about this person's inner changes and emotional motivations at all, and just stuffed the idea of a happy relationship into the plot. Then there is feeling. In fact, the persona of feeling is not established, or it is too symbolic. It's okay to be sincere and crazy, but it's not okay for people to have no subjectivity at all. Apart from the setting of "Love to Be a Organizer", this person has no consistent demands, desires and stances. Even in the middle and later stages of "Love to Be an Organizer", it seems like a tool for attacking workers and encountering the following period of persecution. Helping the people defend the city, loving my brothers and parents, and standing up for the attack when my life is in danger. Every plot point is anticlimactic, the character has not grown at all, and the personality has not been enriched. It would be fine if Shou was just a little pet, but the charm of Shou's character arc was not shown. Not only does it fail to make readers have enough empathy and love for him, it even makes the core of the article, the emotional relationship between the two, seem unconvincing and untenable. I wrote such a long article, and I don't want to seem to be venting negative emotions and finding faults, but I really wish I could find such a review before reading it.
After reading this article, I read it intermittently for a week. I have to say that the charm of ancient articles cannot be compared to the current new articles. Although for me, it is not the kind of article that I can read over and over again, but the experience of reading the article this time is enough for me to remember. The writing style is very special, and it is eloquent. Maybe I'm too impetuous. I saw some bad guys doing disgusting things but couldn't take revenge right away, so I felt a little depressed. I also felt puzzled when I saw Lu Chen's subsequent revenge methods haha It was a masterpiece written ten years ago. I also hope that Ping An and Lu Chen will continue to be happy in the article. I also hope that the author's life today is harmonious and beautiful.
I read this novel about seven or eight years ago. I was so excited and moved that I remembered the place name Changqian Alley in my mind. Five years ago, I came to Nanjing by chance. I passed by by chance and found a bridge with Changgan Lane carved on it. I was immediately delighted, as if I had found evidence that my favorite character existed. I thank the author for creating such a vivid character. I want to believe that Xiao He really existed.
It's 2026. Thirteen years have passed. Happy New Year everyone.
I read this novel during the epidemic in the third grade of junior high school. It was the spring of 2020, seven years missed. I really like Changgan's writing style. It's light and refreshing, just like a Jiangnan tune. It floats into my heart on the cobblestone road with the rain and mist. I would secretly call Mr. Mingyang "Master", I would use words like "my little junior brother" when introducing He Ping'an to friends, I would never dream of Lu Chen's golden horse, I would shake my head while listening to music and say, "It would be great if Mr. Xie were here." I also like to write novels, and I inadvertently imitate your rhyme in every word and sentence. But it is always impossible to catch it. I even made an appointment with a friend to walk around Changqian Alley one autumn evening and look for He Zheng's home one by one while looking at your works. What a pity... First, I missed your work for seven years, and then I was too timid to leave a message in isolation for such a long time. I really, really like you, maybe because of the Jiangnan water town you wrote and so many characters that fascinate me, but mostly because that's you, Changqian. I am about to enter my senior year of high school at the beginning of school. I have read many popular Danmei movies over the years, but this is the only book that has always been on my reading list. Even if I don't have enough memory, I cannot delete it. Before I knew it, I had watched it six or seven times, and before I knew it, it had become a safe house during my adolescence. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will go to Nanjing for medical treatment. If I have time, I still want to go to Changgan Alley for a walk. Even knowing you're not there, even knowing they won't be there. I've written such a long list of random words, so I'm sorry to bother you. Finally, I wish you a happy life and praise Shi Sui.
Invincible is so beautiful. Really, I can't describe the beauty of it with my poor vocabulary. I only know that the soil and water support the people. He Pingan's innocence and carefreeness really made me feel the simplicity of the folk customs of the place where he lived in his childhood and the harmony among the neighbors. The description of the protagonist's boyhood is vivid and vivid, and I feel that my peaceful childhood is like a scroll slowly unfolding before my eyes. When they saw Lu Chen discovering various carvings left by Ping An in the corners of Changqian Alley, the family members were shocked. One of them had black eyes and couldn't stand it. The other one was moved by the scene.
Madam, you don't know how much I wanted to cry the moment I saw Chang Gan beside the Nanjing Baoen Temple. A place name in Li Bai's poem and a young carpenter record the story of the city and meeting the right person. How good!
For this article and some strange coincidences, I went to Changqian Alley, and then I actually stayed in Nanjing to study. Many stories happened, and then a new journey started. But when I look back on the last five or even ten years, this is my favorite story. When we meet each other in life, our eyebrows will open. When we meet in life, our eyebrows will open.
Ten years later, I have finished watching it today. Can my wife write a sequel? (I beg you. I want to watch Ban Ri Xian and Wen Yu.)
Ten years, big time! ! ! Ten years! ! ! I beg for a side story (put your hands together)
