I Have a Pot of Fine Wine and a Tale to Tell, Would You Care to Listen?

The bright moon startles magpies from the branches; cicadas sing in the midnight breeze. The night sky over the stone steps is cool as water; I lie and watch the stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky; I sleep troubled beside the river maples and fishing lights. Autumn candlelight chills the painted screen; a light silk fan swats at fireflies. Perhaps I’m not good at telling stories, but I’m certainly good at chatting. I browse the forums and turn throug

Novels That Leave You Happy and Energized

A curated selection of all kinds of good books. My standards: they should leave you feeling satisfied, without too much filler, and the protagonist shouldn't be a robot, a heartless person, or an idiot. They should have both intelligence and emotional awareness. They can have ambitions, but shouldn't be ruthless plunderers. The plot should be compelling, not just the same thing repeated over and over. Books that meet these standards are worth keeping, in my opinion, and I'm willing to pay to rea

In a Reading Slump? I've Read for Years and Know a Thing or Two. Not for Beginners

I'll update this list with quality novels from time to time. No novice-level writing, just strong prose and no harem protagonists. Some may have one or two love interests, but nothing too off-putting, and the romance won't be too bad. Any genre is welcome; I have broad tastes. I'm not great at writing introductions, so please bear with me. Hopefully I get the gist across... probably. Note: Space on the list is limited, so I'll remove older books, except for ones I consider excellent, such as Sn

A Little Bit of Everything, Full of Flavor!!

Books are like food: it's all about whether you like them. There's no distinction between expensive and cheap, highbrow and lowbrow, famous authors and newcomers. I love a big mixed pot!!!

No Shallow, Brain-Dead Stories

The plots are logically sound, free of major annoyances, and the writing is definitely up to par. The urban novels I recommend have details that feel realistic. The cultivation novels have, in my opinion, a pretty rich imagination, without inexplicably weak beginnings, humiliated protagonists, or idiotic villains. The slice-of-life stories are all beloved by snarky readers 😄. The science fiction-leaning stories have calm-headed protagonists, and evenly matched rivals make the whole book more com

These Are Good Books

I'm sharing these with friends who enjoy lighthearted comedies. Many of these books will have you laughing out loud, and their exciting plots will keep you hooked. What they have in common is straightforward, solid writing and characters with normal human intelligence, along with just the right amount of swagger! I hate books where everyone but the protagonist is an idiot, but these really are different!
