A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

Must-Read Gems and Promising Picks (Updated Irregularly)
I’ve been reading for over a decade and aim to recommend only the best. You won’t regret reading these. Supporting new books I’ll pick a few of the new books advertised here and feature them for a couple of days. If you’re promoting a book, remember to follow me. I really don’t have time to read every one of them right now, so at most I can give them a few more clicks. Later, I’ll pick out the ads in this list that interest me and give them a proper read.
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Historical Fiction Masterpieces
A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
All Kinds of Fan Fiction and Interesting Reads
I wouldn’t dare claim anything else, but this list is definitely made with sincerity. I absolutely will not add books I haven’t read. I’ll seriously present my thoughts on every book to all my fellow readers.
Books with No Romance or Only One Couple
No romance or one pairing These are books I like, mostly completed. They're satisfying stories where the protagonist doesn't suffer needlessly. I'll mark ongoing books. I like following several different genres at once to balance my mood and keep plots from blending together. I might pair an intense killing spree with a farming story, clear-cut love and hate with emotionally detached characters, or sorrow and anger with a warm, healing story. If I've tried a book and enjoyed it, I'll add it here
My Heart Longs for You, Like a Deer Chasing a Stream
The desire for human connection is one of the strongest urges in the human heart. It is a fundamental human need, a force that brings people, tribes, families, and societies together. To be denied this need is to invite madness or destruction, whether of oneself or of others. You are not the sole survivor of the accident. You are the only one who didn't get out.
A Fun List from an Eight-Year Bookworm
A mix of genres I personally enjoy. No brainless harem stories or gender-bender novels. Sensible values only _(:з"∠)_ Also, I'm a lazy fish.
A Wandering Heart
Where my heart leads, where my dreams take me.
Recommended Because I Love Them

Books I've Followed Over the Years
I've been reading web novels for 11 years and have read a lot. When I decided to make a list, I realized I hadn't actually followed many books all the way to the end. I dropped plenty after the opening chapters, and others when they went behind a paywall because I didn't feel like paying to continue. Those aren't worth adding here. But some I followed until they were abandoned, while others I eventually stopped reading for various reasons. At least these had something going for them, whether the

Book Review: As a seasoned bookworm of over a decade, I've read quite a few alternate history novels. I've read nearly five hundred chapters of this book, and now I'd like to share my thoughts. This book has over a thousand chapters and more than five million words; I estimate I won't be able to finish reading it. The reasons are as follows:
Strangely enough, am I the only one who feels that a cold-blooded and ruthless character like Zhao Shi, the protagonist of this book, is the closest to the realistic portrayal of the tough, masculine side? War is a living hell; wouldn't such a character be more convincing?
[Comment] I've actually been reading this book for 7 years...
Wow...! But the book is good too, I subscribed to it all, even though I was intermittent! Posting this to commemorate it! [Fn=2_1][fn=2_1]
Having read novels for over a decade, only the protagonist of this book, Zhao Shi, has left a lasting impression on me. He truly captured what I believe to be the iron-willed side of men. Searching through all of Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), I couldn't find another novel whose protagonist possesses the imposing and awe-inspiring presence of a great general like Zhao Shi.
[Comment] This book is getting more and more verbose.
The author seems to have suddenly dropped in skill; if they don't want to write, they shouldn't.
In feudal dynasties, if someone's achievements overshadowed the emperor's, they would either become independent or die.
I started reading it in 2008, and I reread it a couple of days ago. I personally think it's a great book. "A true man should claim his title on horseback." The most inspiring line is: "Under the heavens, those who are not my friends are my enemies. Throughout the world, those who submit to me prosper, those who oppose me perish."
I was initially very interested in this book, but the fact that it involves rebelling and becoming emperor instantly made me lose interest.
One of my favorite main characters right now, I like him just as much as I like Han Laomo.
Are there any novels featuring a tough, warrior-like character like Zhao Shi? I've been reading for 10 years and this is the only one I've found...
