Recommendations for Xuanhuan, Xianxia, and Historical Novels I've Fully Subscribed To
I read all kinds of books, so there may be all sorts of categories. If you're interested, feel free to check for dealbreakers yourself. I've only just started organizing this list, so I've added the books that left the strongest impression on me first. I'll add more later.
No-CP Male Protagonists
No pairing
A Little Something to Read: No Romance
The protagonist is a tough, no-nonsense man, and his mother is the real deal. The protagonist's will comes first. @Everyone, unite closely under the banner of the protagonist. I'm picky about writing style.
Xuanhuan Stories
May include serious drama, old-school stories, cultivation and spiritual growth, and melodramatic stories.
Tracking Fully Read Books 2
I'm open to all kinds of stories and have no major dislikes, but I generally avoid plot-driven stories where the protagonist renounces all love and emotion, as well as characters who feel too down-to-earth. I judge fictional characters based solely on my own values, not the author.
Fully Subscribed and Worth Rereading Every Time
My reading list
Top-Perspective, Male-Lead-Focused, Wish-Fulfillment Fiction
Male-lead loyalist. Mostly powerful male leads, or male protagonists with no romance
Wuxia and Cultivation
Great Achievements
The prose is balanced and clear, the writing plain and unadorned, and the pacing of detail well judged. The characters are portrayed with nuance, the plot twists and turns, and the emotions feel sincere and heartfelt. A delight.
Digital Bamboo Slips
I’ll savor these again. #BL top-focused, top-centric, mutual devotion, top-leaning, and top-fan stories all welcome #Occasionally no-CP
A Top's Mom's Reading Log
I enjoy stories that glorify the top, as well as stories that bash him. My baseline is mutual devotion, leaning toward the top. I also read male-protagonist stories with no CP. Updated regularly.
Must-Read Feel-Good Power Fantasies
Books I absolutely love, both no-romance and danmei, mostly fanworks but with some original stories too. Pure feel-good reads. I honestly want to give them all five stars. Green River is to blame :)
White Moonlight
I love these so much!!! Every one deserves five stars!
A Personal Reading Log to Jog My Memory (1)
Mostly BL or no-CP. Mainly keeping track of books, with a few recommendations. Purely subjective, based on my personal tastes. Quite a few have been sitting on my list so long that I've lost interest. Browse with caution.
No Couples
Starting a new list for my no-CP reading plans. There are stories with no male leads and no female leads, and I'll add more as I read them.
A Custom Reading List Made at the Request of a Certain Lazybones
Only BG and no-CP. I haven’t finished this yet; the app keeps crashing. I’m tired.
Hungry? Come Get Some Food (Updated Whenever)
I lean toward romance, but no CP. I'm a dog person, so this list has plenty of dogs. P.S. Jiang's site is so hard to use. Are they really not going to fix it?
Completed Stories With No Romance
Mostly from the male protagonist's perspective, covering all kinds of genres, including farming, business management, infinite flow, and cultivation. No-couple stories! Every one of these is good enough to binge from start to finish!
[Feel-Good Reads] No Romance/Boys' Love
For no-CP stories, I'm picky about the protagonist: they have to be good-looking and powerful, and I don't want nonsensical protagonist abuse. For danmei, I prefer the bottom: cute, beautiful, strong, or handsome bottoms are my thing.
Reborn Diaries ①
A collection of reborn romance novels I’ve read.
Stockpiling, Survival, and Farming: Personal Reading Log
I love feel-good stories of every kind. I dug up a whole bunch more, like stocking up on supplies. Three stars means unread.
Just Throwing Something Together
No-couple stories with male protagonists
Books Auntie Thinks Are Worth Reading
I’m an auntie who’s read countless novels and has picky tastes. These are my favorites. I lean toward stories about running businesses, career pursuits, pure romance, and no-CP. No formulaic or simplistic stories, please.

Madam, when will you come back to write? After so many years, I haven't found anything similar to my writing style. Come back soon [Heartbroken]
Damn, I just knew it was going to be made into a film and TV show. It's a tonic...😭😭😭
2026.5.31 Read the complete text for the first time. It is rare to see such a good text. Every character in the text is described vividly. No reader will not fall in love with Song Qianji. I only hope that the film and television adaptations will not change the characters.
Very beautiful!!!!! Teacher, are you really not one of those people who got tired of writing and turned to writing online articles to relax? I have read so many books, and this one really has nothing to say. The story line, writing style, writing style, plot arrangement, character setting and personality, oh my god, this book is really good.
It's super beautiful. I feel a little sad after watching it. We like you for giving money to chickens🫶😆😆
It was tragically turned into a film and television, let's review it
Goddess, I grabbed your autograph. Goddess, I read the postscript. Goddess, I like you^^
Today is May 28, 2026. The words written by the author are really a magical thing.
It's absolutely amazing! It's absolutely amazing! When can the teacher come back to write articles? 😭 😭 😭 Also, I really want to listen to the radio drama.
It looks good in the front, but sloppy in the back, especially the part with Xian Tsaichen that made the male protagonist feel OOC.
