Stories about people who keep their heads down and work hard to cultivate. Looking for good, lesser-known novels about male and female cultivators in ancient times.
A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads
A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h

Powerful Protagonists Focused on Cultivation, Not Romance
I haven’t logged into this account in ages, so I’m clearing out some old books. After thinking it over, I decided to recommend both strong male and strong female leads. There aren’t many books where the protagonist is solely focused on getting stronger, so recommending only strong female leads would get a bit monotonous. Moving completed books and abandoned ones here. ❤ Online After the Apocalypse ❤ The City’s Adorkable Record ❤ The Empress’s Life ❤ Cannon Fodder’s Strategy ❤ The Home Master ❤ T

A Hodgepodge of Books Worth Rereading
Cultivation? Domestic drama? Reborn? Transmigration? Male-oriented? Female-oriented? Doesn't matter, as long as the values are sound, the humor is light, and the supporting characters shine. Stories that are gripping, resolute, true to their principles, and worthy of respect.

The stories I cherish
No Male Lead, but Plenty of Brains
I’m tired of romance stories pretending to have strong female leads. As soon as the romance starts, the characters fall apart and the plot can stop making sense. Stories without a male lead are less likely to insult the reader’s intelligence. I add new books and clear out the list from time to time. Recommended: I Want to Become Empress. Who’s Against It?
There Is a Path Through the Book Mountain
A varied taste, with all kinds of styles. Let's enjoy some good writing together.
Strong Female Leads
Nice.
Quick Transmigration Boot Camp
Mainly time-travel and dimension-hopping stories (male- and female-oriented). I also recommend works with other interesting settings that are highly readable. List friends, feel free to recommend books! Here are some good completed books I've read: [The Entertainment Empire] A top-tier entertainment-industry novel, rated 4.7. [The Little Fairy Has a Red Packet Group] The early part is well written and especially fun, particularly the first story. The rest is more ordinary. Rated 4.4. [Quick Tr

Great Books Worth Revisiting (A Must-Have for a Reading Slump)
No brainless fluff or sugary-sweet romances. If you're going to read, read something with depth! These books may not be popular, but they have such rich, profound flavor. They stay close to our hearts, for us to savor late into the night. Their authors may not be big names, but they work so hard and their inspiration runs deep, flowing straight into our hearts. My tastes span every genre, but these are all gems! A must-have list for anyone suffering a reading drought!
Books I Enjoy Reading
These are books I'm following. If I think they're good, I'll add them here. Of course, there are lots of great books I haven't included. I'll just let them settle quietly in my heart. My preferences: no female leads, dark stories, xianxia, Lovecraftian horror Haha, if I find a good book, I'll add it. I've personally put all of these to the test.

A Bookworm's Treasured Collection
The books I like tend to have unusual styles: apocalyptic settings, detective stories, supernatural tales, and the like. I may read both male- and female-oriented fiction, though I really have not read much male-oriented fiction over the past two years.
No Romance Reading List (The Curator Is Lazy)
Mostly cultivation novels, with a few other kinds too. Mainly stories without a male lead, though there are also stories without a female lead! I’m no good at writing descriptions; I’m just sharing some books I think are pretty good. Please follow me. If you know any novels without a male lead or a female lead, please recommend them.

A Collection of Good Books I've Read
Fantasy, cultivation, strong female leads, apocalypse, palace intrigue, online gaming, quick transmigration. The heroines aren't doormats and have sound values. Some have no romance and are so cool and smart they leave all the pretty boys in the dust. Ahem, that'll do. This is a very unserious description (= _ =)

For those who want to see the comments before deciding whether to watch, let me tell you, it's great, highly recommended, don't miss it! I've been following this novel for a long time, and I like many of the characters in it. My favorite character is Lü Liangren, haha. Sang Sang portrayed him so brilliantly, providing all the laughs.
I finished reading it. I like Jin Ling, but I'm a little upset about Wu Li's fate. He was an ancestor, yet his end was so tragic. In the Iron-Blooded Battle, facing the righteous sects' pleas for mercy, I thought they would only kill a few leaders or even forgive him, but instead they wiped out the enemy sect and destroyed the White Lotus Sect—that was satisfying.
This book review is full of hostility; please do not click if you dislike it.
This book is a showcase of baffling behavior from the very beginning; in short, it's utterly inexplicable. I genuinely wanted to continue watching, and seeing people mention amnesia made me want to persevere, but Wu Li is just too disgusting. Wu Li is unreasonable, just a crazy, unreasonable person.
It ended so abruptly! This is the first novel I've followed from beginning to end. Other novels are either unfinished or only revealed to be finished later… It seems the authors of the novels I like all love to delay updates… (Signing out to Sanzha, Chongdie, and Jiangnan…) I first learned about this book from a forum for books without male leads. It's a rare book without a male lead!
There are a few regrettable points about this article. Spoilers ahead. 1. Baili You and Leng Qingqiu, two characters who could clearly be the darling daughter of the demonic path and a high-ranking fairy of the demonic path, were inexplicably written by the author as idiotic love-struck fools. In contrast, Bai Gu Lou and Ye Li were written quite well? (I really don't agree.
I can barely sense any affection from the author for the female characters other than the female lead... The death or injury rate for female supporting characters (especially those who clash with the female lead, many of whom are practically brainwashed) is far higher than that of male supporting characters, and their character development is also inferior.
Those who say this book is good are probably mistaken. Many parts of the story lack logic. After the female lead is sealed in the secret realm, the author's skill level drops sharply, and the writing becomes nonsensical. The feud between the female lead and Gu Song is inexplicable, and she even kills innocent passersby on the road.
Seriously, there's no need to add romantic entanglements to almost all the female supporting characters. Authors, please reduce romance; it's so awkward. A bunch of women are either unrequited love or love-struck, even the sect leader, who showed no signs of romantic involvement in the early episodes, was forced into a "male-to-female" romance (Wu Yuan looked down at Wu Gou in the coffin beside…
I thought it was really good when I first read it, especially since it was the first time I'd seen a female lead who was a demonic cultivator. However, after seeing how the demon took her virginity... All I could think was, "Holy crap!!! Holy crap???" And then... I dropped it.
I finally finished reading all the chapters I bought, reaching nearly 600. Maybe this book just isn't for me. The writing and plot are good, but there's a sense of oppression; the more I read, the worse my mood became. When the author creates a protagonist like this, they've already alienated a portion of the reader. The author's writing and character development are indeed excellent.
