This list only includes books I bought in full, at least the entire main story. I left out books I skipped chapters in, as well as some I bought in full but now consider embarrassing relics of my past. There are also a few free books.
A Look at Historical Romance: Long-Winded Review Edition
My reading tastes: danmei, redemption, political intrigue, mystery, and coming-of-age stories. My reviews are very subjective, and I write whatever comes to mind. Anything I enjoy reading to the end goes on this list.

A Good Read for a Reading Slump
The writing is solid and suited to a broad audience. I'll come back and edit the reviews when I have time.
Historical Romance, Cultivation, Historical Derivatives, and BG
They're good!
My 11-Year Webnovel Reading Journey: BG God-Tier List 2
Making a reading list for my old age! I refuse to hear any arguments against my excellent taste. The list’s name is just me bragging! Hahaha.
Some Recommendations (No Need to Follow Me)
I can usually tell whether I'll like a story after reading the first few chapters. Hope you never run out of things to read! Recommended in reverse order.
Easy-to-Read Romance Stories
A mixed bag, but overall lighthearted and angst-free. Just my personal opinion. I’m only reading romance for now, and I’ll keep updating this list.
Treasured Reading List
Good works I have read over time.
Family Life and Everyday Living, with a Little Side Business
Romance, especially stories set in different eras, historical spin-offs, and historical romance. I like plots and romance in equal measure. I'm allergic to over-the-top Mary Sues, and I don't want harem favorites, anime-style, or pretentious literary fiction.
Completed Stories with Fewer Than 50,000 Favorites
Both BL and BG, I’ll read anything, really. For romance, I lean toward historical Chinese settings, palace and household intrigue, imperial examinations, and that sort of thing, but they’re not always from the female lead’s perspective. Danmei is even more varied.
Personal Reading List 2
For myself
Curing a Reading Slump: A Little of Everything
Long completed or ongoing novels with coherent logic, smooth writing, and excellent plots. (The rating system won't let me give everything five stars.)
Farming, Food, and Period Pieces
Stories focused on everyday life
Recommendations: Completed Romance
Unless otherwise noted, these are all stories with female protagonists. (Last updated 2026/2/25)
Novels Worth Reading Twice
I read a bit of everything, but mostly romance. Everything here is complete and fully purchased?? There may be spoilers, so enter at your own risk. Not sure if I can edit this, so I'll just leave these here for now!
Comfort Reads I Keep Coming Back To
Writing is everything. I like to top up my hormones now and then. I have a thing for beautiful male ghosts. Whenever I run into a pervert, I think, what kind of creature is this? One bite tastes so good, I have to go back for another.
Great Historical Romance, Recommendations Welcome
I don't have many squicks, so I won't list any content warnings.
Romance
Completed romance with a female lead
Historical Romance
I'm very picky about writing style. Well, everything on this list is worth reading. I haven't bought every chapter because I usually read TXT files on another device.

Books I've finished, hahaha. I'll reread them when I have time.
Original Fiction Finished in 2025
Original works go here; fanfiction and derivative works go on another list. Good writing is the foundation of my taste, and it's easy to end up completely won over by an author's work.

Whether future commentators say good or bad. Their eyes finally saw, their ears finally heard, the tiny and infinite real women in history.
It's very interesting to watch, especially in the old society (I haven't used this word since I left school for so many years) where demons were everywhere. People really ate people, and few of them were human. The city is simply a den of monsters, large and small. Only the landowners in the countryside have raised a clever rabbit spirit. He is not timid and soft-hearted, but he can burst out to protect his own people when cornered. Aunt Chen and Cousin Rabbit would probably have perished together if they didn't have this rabbit they raised since childhood.
It is rare to see such in-depth articles in Jinjiang nowadays. I look forward to more works! Nice!
I'm so touched. I'll point out some extra topics. This is Yuanyuan's story.
I read it again, and I have so many thoughts. I have been very depressed recently, but after re-reading "Yuanyuan Chronicles", I seem to be able to remember those good people, good things, and those unfair things. Suddenly I feel some strength again. I still have to cheer up, be myself, live up to others, and have more strength to help our compatriots who are in more difficulty!
Thanks My wife wrote a lot of funny and bloody things to counteract this cannibalistic atmosphere. It has become much easier to read No matter how difficult it is, there are still so many women with vigorous vitality who survive generation after generation and are perseverant.
The whole article made my hair stand on end, and I couldn't sleep well at night... It was eating people, eating people.
The silent will eventually make their voices heard
So well written. It looked horrifying at first, the cannibalistic old society, but when I found out about the extra story, I finally understood why I had been depressed about Yuanyuan. The extra made me cry. I didn't bother to read it the first few times I clicked on it, but until I finished it today, I thought, if anyone sees the comments, they must keep reading. This is a profound book, written about Yuanyuan, but not just about Yuanyuan.
After reading it, the extra imagination has brought the entire story of Yuanyuan to a new level. Remembering is the most touching thing, giving history back to women
