I’ve read these. They’re okay, but not good enough to take up space in my favorites.
Romance
I get hooked on romance novels every now and then... Rereads and stories I'm following lately.
Heartwarming Reads to Save for Later
Stories that crossed paths with you over the years. I hope we'll meet again as you stock up on reads this cozy winter.
To Sort
Organizing my favorites
Infrastructure, Farming, and Business.zip
Updated from time to time. Ongoing series are currently rated four stars.
Plot-Driven, Smart Female-Led Stories [All Complete]
My priorities are 1. prose, 2. worldbuilding, 3. plot, 4. logic, 5. values... I'm not into romance, and I love feminism. Overall, this is a mixed bag, with lots of infrastructure-building, management, and progression stories. Feel free to chat!
I’ll Read Anything (Updated Whenever I Remember)
A bit of everything, all worth rereading.
Worldbuilding / Farming / Business / Doomsday Stockpiling
I absolutely love this kind of story, but I can never find one that suits my taste.
Female-Male Romance / No-Romance, Personal Opinions and Content Warnings
Qing-era transmigration, original fiction, fanfiction, kingdom-building, historical romance, and more. Mainly sorted by rating, for reference only.
Read as It Updates or Let It Pile Up: That Is the Question
Very well written
All Kinds of Professions
Stories with detailed depictions of the protagonist’s career and a relatively realistic setting. No stories about becoming an emperor, chancellor, or general in ancient times.
Career-Focused Stories
I love watching protagonists, male or female, rise to the top with a golden finger, whether in sports, as novelists or comic artists, actors, painters, detectives, police officers, and so on.
Western Fantasy, Medieval, and Western Fandom Crossovers
Mystery and deduction, management and infrastructure building, sword and magic, international mashups... Updated irregularly. The list formatting is so strange that I added the dates. Ongoing works are temporarily rated four stars.
Romance Reading List for Personal Use
All kinds of genres: apocalypse, business, infrastructure building, historical-inspired, mythology-inspired, future worlds, Qing dynasty transmigration, anime crossovers, and all sorts of other things.
Niche Miscellany
A bit of everything, a real grab bag, with plenty of free stories too. Mostly keeping track for myself. Slowly updating.
Books I've Finished
I read all of these from beginning to end.
Temporary Reading List: Foreign History, Classics, and Musicals
Clearing out my collection. Obscure foreign history and musical-theater fanfiction based on classics with recognizable real-world inspirations. I may not have read them all. Female-led stories. If not specified, the focus is on the plot.
Stories Set in European and American History
Novels set against the backdrop of medieval to modern European society, American history, and similar settings.
Western Settings: Some Romance-Focused, Others Career-Focused
Stories about female protagonists striving to make a life for themselves in Western settings~ Most involve transmigration
My Favorites
I like romance or no-CP stories, as long as the writing and plot aren't awkward to read. A rich imagination is a plus, too.

Highly Recommended: Management, Infrastructure Building, Plot-Driven, Leveling Up, and Pure Satisfaction
Plot-focused! Building up a nation and becoming emperor, running a business, career-focused, level progression, and infinite worlds! The protagonist has their head on straight and gradually builds things up through hard work. A fantastical setting, and I'm very attached to the protagonist.
Books I Like
A big mix of no-CP, yuri, romance, and fanfiction, all based on my personal taste. They all have female POVs. If you like women disguising themselves as men, please check the tags first.

I finally finished reading it in one sitting and was very reluctant to leave it. The following is written for book friends who clicked in. If you also like plot-oriented stories about heroines having a successful career, please don't miss this article! This book is really, really good to read. Such few subscriptions and collections are completely out of proportion to the excitement and writing level of this article. Maybe it's limited by new authors and new articles on unpopular topics? This is definitely a masterpiece that is a hidden gem in the ocean! ! ! It mainly tells the story of an oriental girl with painting skills who travels to a different world roughly parallel to Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Starting from scratch, she gradually creates her own painting career with her own hard work and talent. The author's writing style is concise, subtle and detailed, and he has good control over the narrative rhythm of the story, and has never deviated from the focus of "a heroine's career story" from beginning to end. What's even more amazing is that this is actually the first article by a new author. With such length, quality, and update speed, even if he specializes in unpopular subjects, he will definitely have a place in Jinjiang in the future. I hope the second article will be published soon! Expect!
So reluctant to part with it! This is a very well-written article, and many of the scenes in the article are very graphic. I can imagine the hot springs in Bath, the small building that Erlo rented when he first opened his studio, painting on the Vatican dome, and many other scenes. Both the protagonist and the narrator of the story are focused on career, and the development of Arlo's career is written very solidly. I seemed to be watching a helpless little girl step by step become a famous master in Europe. Later, the school she founded became a well-known comprehensive art school, which was a very reasonable and gratifying development.
This is a book that the author has been insisting on writing until she signed the contract. The heroine did not rely on anyone throughout the whole process. She gritted her teeth and persisted in fighting. It is rare for a heroine to truly walk independently.
It's really over. I was planning on keeping it for a while, but suddenly I found out that there was a side story. I didn't want to believe it. I guessed that there might be a main story after the side story, but it turned out that it was over. The two were still in love, so it was over. I was surprised and regretful! Are there any other extras like Talk of the Future?
Is this actually the first one? The writing is so stable!
It was so well written that I read it in one sitting in two days. I hope the next one will also be a full-length novel!
Finished reading! ! ! This is my first book and it's so well written! ! ! Looking forward to the future! ! !
So sad to leave! Although I was extremely reluctant, I still finished reading it. The author writes really beautifully! The plot setting, environment description, and characters are all great! A superb masterpiece. Looking forward to the author's next good article.
It was so good that it ended before I could get enough of it. The writing is so fluent and the story is so gripping, he is definitely not a new author. It's an artistic growth article, very refreshing. I've only seen one or two books on this subject before. The author's introduction to the new article seems to be a common theme. Can you write another growth story about an artist?
Finished reading! It's been a long time since I've come across a million-dollar novel that I could read in one sitting. It's so well written. The non-traditional meeting with the people of the East at the end really feels so fateful. I'm looking forward to the next one! !
