Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've
Vast Skies, Endless Snow: Who Will Sail With Me?
First things first: no playboys or harems. There's a bit of everything here, for readers of any gender. I've read every book on this list carefully myself. I'll keep updating it if I can. I didn't know about Qidian at first and just searched online. Later I got a basic paid account, but after reading more, I decided it wasn't worth it, so I upgraded to a premium account. Everything recommended here is a book I've read myself. Feel free to like the books you enjoy o(≧v≦)o. The most-liked books wi
Tales from the Martial World
The greatest knights fight for their country and their people. A martial world of flashing blades, a martial world of love and hatred intertwined. Friends, this is a wuxia-specialized list, so please do not recommend other genres. In the old version, bookmarking meant following. In the new Qidian version, tap the star below; when it turns red, the list has been bookmarked.
A Stockpile for Leisure Reading
My personal library. Everything here is a book I think is pretty good. Abandoned books don’t belong here, and I remove them promptly.
My Personal List for Killing Time

[Jun's Bookshop]
Wouldn’t it be grand to be a steed galloping a thousand miles! The novels on this list are ones I read back when I was completely obsessed with fiction. Some are now considered excellent works or even groundbreaking classics, and many were thrilling historical or fantasy stories at the time. There are a few I started reading and couldn’t bear to delete, so I’ve kept them as mementos... This list is simply a way for me to remember what I’ve read and revisit the complicated feelings I had at the t
Great Reads and Hidden Gems I’ve Personally Enjoyed
This list covers most of the major genres of male-oriented fiction, so take a look if you're out of books to read. I've read a lot of books and had wanted to make a list for ages, but when I finally started, I had no idea what to say... T_T

My Personal Picks: No Shallow Wish-Fulfillment or Over-the-Top Drama
Ten years ago, I loved power fantasies. Over time, I gradually stopped reading them and stopped following some big-name authors. Most of them changed so much after becoming famous that their writing was nothing like it used to be. Here are some works I've personally thought were excellent over the years.

Lighting a Lamp to Read Again
These are books I've read over the years. They're all sorts of genres: some draw you in with their plots, some are beautifully written, and some are packed with knowledge. I've also read a few great books that aren't on Qidian, so I'll mention them here too. I hope Qidian won't beat me up for it @_@ One is Tian Cai Zhao Huan Shi by Ruo Xue San Qian; the other is Bian Shen Zhi Hou: Wo Yu Ta De Kuang Xiang Qu. Both have great concepts and plots.

All Kinds of Stories: No Harem, No Weak Protagonists
I've been reading for six years, from beginner-friendly books to novels with some intelligence, from fantasy to urban fiction to sci-fi. I've read pretty much every genre. Everything here is something I've read myself. I'm often at a loss for what to read, so I want to recommend some books I enjoyed to fellow readers.

No Mindless Fiction
I've been reading web novels for six years. That's not all that long, but it's not short either. At first, I liked haremlit stories with brainless, over-the-top protagonists, with god-tier harems where the hero could screw heaven, earth, and even the air. Later, I started seeking stories with no heroine, or very little focus on the heroine. I've followed all kinds of genres. I've read most of the books by the biggest authors, so I won't recommend their work here. Lots of lesser-known gems.

[Comment] It's been a long time since I've seen a martial arts film like this.
A work of conscience; it's rare to find an author willing to write such a martial arts story.
Has the author stopped writing books? The novel was really good.
Not bad, I quite like this kind of episode-by-episode detective story.
This one is still the best. I don't know if it's because I've read too many harem novels, but now I feel nauseous just looking at those. After reading many, I still prefer this kind of martial arts/suspense novel that isn't overly sentimental.
This book has four elements: suspense, intellectual battle, detective work, and martial arts, and the integration of these elements is quite good. Firstly, the writing style of this book is quite good, especially the harmony of the setting and environment. Unlike many other novels, it doesn't feel out of place or jarring; the characters, dialogue, and setting all blend together harmoniously.
Author, where are your time-travel rules and "Assassin of the Cold Night"? They're nowhere to be found! Also, I really love "Legend of the Martial Arts Detective," it's the best online mystery novel I've ever read.
The first chapter is completely incoherent! Mr. Wu agreed to Su Zhuo's thank-you drink! But when the wine arrived, he said that alcohol easily leads to promiscuity... Are you kidding me? Is this a detective novel? Where's the logic?
The story is well-crafted but the logic is flawed. The protagonist's morality is ambiguous, and he's indecisive, much like Zhang Wuji.
This feels like a harem novel where every beautiful woman the protagonist encounters ends up with someone else, and every beautiful woman he meets seems to fall for a new guy. It's not even a harem novel, but they insist on pairing up the male supporting characters. It's annoying.
