I read everything except danmei. A must-have for when you’re out of things to read~ ① Early on, I was willing to overlook the prose for the plot; rereads get a stricter cull. ② Mostly lighthearted books I’ve reread many times. There’s also a complete five-star list on my profile.

Personal Reading List | Original Fiction, No Romance
This list is just for my own use. I abandon a lot of books halfway through and skip straight to the ending. Original fiction with no romance, ensemble casts, and whatever happens to suit my tastes. There'll be lots and lots of comics and secret-identity stories.
When the Saintliness Urge Hits
Whenever my urge to be a saint kicks in, I come here for a little treat
Stories I've Read That Left a Lasting Impression
Not into danmei. These are all stories I've read that left a strong impression on me: otome, Mary Sue, dark and angsty, sweet and heartbreaking, delusion-driven... There really aren't many books I can stick with to the end.

I'm more into angsty stories.
No Romance: A Massive Collection
A hearty stew of business, farming, infrastructure-building, and growth

My Reading Journey
Mostly feel-good stories
Finished at Last!
All finished, time to celebrate! I love every one of them
Investiture of the Gods
I've been reading for ten years, and I especially avoid getting into the popular, well-known series. These are the best of the best, in my opinion, since I joined the site.
For Personal Use: Derivative Fanfiction (Updated Regularly)
I read Harry Potter, Naruto, Detective Conan, DC, crossover fanfiction, danmei, and no-CP. I might add some original works, too. Here's a serving of everything I think is delicious!
Personal Picks: Completed Stories [Updated Occasionally]
These are the ones I bought in full and can reread again and again. I rarely end up buying a whole story, even after subscribing to the last chapter, and it's hard to read most of them a second time. Ones I want to revisit are even rarer.
Stories That Never Quite Hit the Spot
Some books that are still readable. The low ratings are because of my own issues: I can rarely stick with a book to the end, hehe. But the ones that make the list are all delicious reads.
My Favorites
My tastes: protagonist-focused stories, progression fantasy, and fanfiction, all things I enjoy. P.S. I'm not picky and like a bit of everything, but my dealbreakers are rather unusual.
Worth Rereading No Matter How Much Time Has Passed
Almost all of these are just personal favorites. I especially love the five from the Detective Conan police academy. I tend to prefer no-CP, but I'm open to other types too.
No Romance

When I first discovered this book, I didn't have my own payment account. Now I have re-ordered it all at once and found that it is really expensive. Is it so long? In short, I felt that this was a happy ending that satisfied all the characters, because Hua Rongyue's happiness is to live an ordinary free life with Boss Yi; Yi Linglong felt that she wanted someone who could understand and love her, and felt that our Captain Hua's appreciative and tolerant attitude slowly filled the boss's heart; A Zhe found Hongdou; and Mr. Jiang had a true friend. It's like the gavel captured the picture of the bloody rivers and lakes that temporarily closed. I feel that the relationship between Hua Rongyue and Yi Linglong is really touching. Hua Rongyue doesn't think there's anything special. She treats Yi Linglong as an equal and dotes on her like a little princess (?). Mr. Yi is really a good family guy, he is reliable and cute. Maybe Hua Rongyue is a little clumsy and out of line, and Yi Linglong can actually be cold and crazy, but when a sincerity fills the hole, the two of them can welcome spring together.
The exquisite moon behind the crystal curtain, half rolled up by the ten-year lamp of Jianghu Year after year, the first time I read this book was five years ago. It was recommended from the first homepage. This book can be said to be my enlightenment teacher. It clearly included my xp: women disguise themselves as men + vests + martial arts background + hiding in the city background... Anyway, I was deeply attracted by the characters created by Xiaoxue. The names Yi Linglong and Hua Rongyue also supported me through that grueling time. There seems to be nothing to say, but tonight in the wilderness of books, she put on a mask and came to the moon with a sword. The red beans fell one by one, and suddenly I saw Linglong's silhouette standing behind the crystal curtain again. A truly good story never ends, it just turns into the moonlight on the top of our hearts. Whenever the night of reality is too dark, sparkling lights will appear from the depths of memory.
After reading the new brother and sister chapter, I came back to read Yi Dabo and Yueyue. I felt that I still liked this chapter better. Yi Linglong and Hua Rongyue were able to accompany each other. In the brother and sister chapter, the younger sister obviously worked hard and did so much but will never see her brother again.
Personally, I feel that this book and "Hua Me" are the two best among all Xiaoxue's v-books. The following books really hurt me... So why is this happening...
Recently, for a paper, I watched a large number of martial arts movies from the beginning in chronological order of release. When the movie viewing process progressed to a new martial arts film directed by Tsui Hark's generation, I suddenly remembered this book and read it again and again. In fact, it was because when I saw "The Swordsman: The Invincible East" again, I suddenly thought of Yi Linglong. Although I was reminded of this book because of Tsui Hark's movies, in the process of re-reading this novel, I felt more and more an aesthetic temperament different from Tsui Hark's. It is an aesthetic paradigm closer to Hu Jinquan's: emphasizing atmosphere and emotion, poetic and picturesque, and with a strong sense of picture. "Hundreds of Herbs" recalls the "immersive" imagination of the world in Hu Jinquan's works in a stunning way. At this point, I am deeply amazed by "Baicao Ji Nian". Hu Jinquan's martial arts can always bring the audience into the environment, making the audience truly fascinated by the "jianghu" in the time and space atmosphere created by the language of the camera. The situation created through words in "Baicao Ji Nian" is indeed full of poetry and painting. What is even more special is that it uses thick and colorful words to construct a similar scene. From the smoke in the streets of Jiangnan to the gorgeous lights of the flower boats and flower streets; from the dark and eerie Huozhuang to the restless lunatic village at the foot of Huashan Mountain, every scene is painted with full strokes and rich visual layers. So full of rich ink and color, very distinctive. The author is good at appealing to the readers' senses. I feel that Xiaoxue is talented in shaping this kind of atmosphere. Xiaoxue's ability to control the atmosphere first appeared as early as in "Draw Me". The bizarre scenes described in words in "Hundred Ghosts at Night" are still vivid in my mind. The colors and rhythms are reminiscent of the confusing passages in "Paprika" or "Spirited Away". Now "Baicao Ji Nian" has gone a step further in terms of poetry and sensory construction. There are so many impressive chapters that it is almost impossible to count them. If it is said in "Something to Say" that this is an exploration of writing style and narrative style, then in terms of writing style and atmosphere creation, it is enough to be called "successful". I never think that "chivalry" is the only identifier of martial arts. That weird, dreamy, metaphorical world of martial arts is perhaps the charm of martial arts. After all, the greatest charm of fictional literature is to lead the audience/reader to experience a life that he or she cannot possibly experience. It also corresponds to the saying, "Movies cannot increase the length of life, but they can increase the thickness of life." The same goes for novels. Some people prefer Tsui Hark's kind of happy enmity, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes", and there are also some people who are obsessed with Hu Jinquan's exquisitely crafted and long-lasting "drama" world. At least I am obsessed with Hu Jinquan, just as I lamented about "A Hundred Herbs Chronicles": This book really uses the aesthetic tension of the text itself to depict a dream that is both strange and fascinating. I read very little martial arts novels. In addition to the traditional martial arts from the four major martial arts novels, I have read online articles for more than ten years, and even focused on reading novels on Qidiannan. Com for more than ten years, but I have never paid specific attention to the label of martial arts. But judging from my partial reading experience, "Baicao Ji Nian" is also an extremely unique book. Sometimes I can't help but sigh a little: It would be great if there were more similar works. I have no interest in martial arts movies since King Hu. Only a few films from Tsui Hark's peak period and a few "reconstructed martial arts" films from mainland China after the 21st century can make people a little yearning for them. Now I can feel the "Hu Jinquan-style" atmosphere in the text again, which is really happy.
In my heart, Baicao Ji Nian is really the best book written by La Qi Xiaoxue...
I haven't read it for a long time, but today I suddenly remembered that I saw the ending. Well, I feel very satisfied with the ending, but also a little disappointed. I feel like I haven't finished the writing but I don't know how to write it. I really feel that most novels end like this. We spectators left halfway through reading. We didn't have the same sense of immersion as other novels, but we liked it.
I really can't forget it. There is no meal replacement in the whole network, and there are very few fans. I really want to find this kind of novel without CP, and the heroine, and the vest is awesome. Although some plots are exciting, the plot is not written to express that feeling. No, I still want to watch their follow-up plot. It's really good. It's been about two weeks, and I still think of this article. It's really just when I heard a song, or when I was reading other articles, I couldn't help but think, "Xiao Han and Hua Rongyue turned their heads suddenly, and suddenly saw Hua Rongyue standing at the door, leaning slightly against the door, looking at the two of them." This is a big bug for the author~
I re-read it again. Baicao Ji Nian is really the pinnacle of Xiaoxue's work in my heart. Even if there are flaws, they are only minor flaws. The scene-stealing king next door looked good in the early stage, but in the later stage it was really... Sigh
Personally, I think it is the pinnacle of the work... It has both cuteness and completeness. This should be the third time I have finished it... I will come back again after a year and I have forgotten all the plot (hearty)
