[Top Picks] Online Games, Fantasy, Cultivation, Apocalypse, Romance, Urban Fiction, and More
[Looking for flowers, likes, and follows] I love stories with wild, imaginative concepts. I've been reading on Qidian for over a decade, and I'm sharing books I've read more than once. Most of these are complete. The ones that aren't are reliable ongoing stories that won't get dropped. I've reread some of my strongest recommendations several times. If you like a book, leave a like. Once the list is full, I'll delete the books without likes to make room for other recommendations. If you also enjo
Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.
Great Reads, by Yingying's Book List
Books with great writing and sound values Some books might not seem very good to other people, but everyone has different opinions. I think these are all gems! And as someone who's really picky about novels, I think all the books on this list are pretty good. If any appeal to you, give them a try! Hahaha, on a whim, I have this to say to anyone who wants to bash the list: Go ahead, bash away! The more you do, the more people will read it, and that'll drive you crazy... Hahahahaha
The Library of Time
Whether or not they’re classics, some books have left a deep mark on my memory. I’ve collected them here for us to enjoy together. The pleasures of life are little more than satisfying our appetites and finding joy in the things that nourish the spirit. A good book can bring the joy of reading straight to your heart. When I’m following some books, I hope the author will never finish them. Once they do, I can’t help starting over from the beginning. They might not suit your taste, but if you hap
My Personal Picks: Lighthearted, Plot-Driven, No Harem
A personal reading list. As the saying goes, one person's honey is another person's poison. Everyone has different tastes and different deal-breakers, so finding books to recommend and read is all about fate~ I like books with engaging plots, a brisk pace, a lighthearted atmosphere, well-rounded characters, and supporting characters who get their own moments to shine. When it comes to romance, I don't like books with lots of flirting and ambiguity. I can only accept no romance or a single heroin
Books I Like
Books are about quality, not quantity. I like all the books here, and the writing is solid. They're genuinely good novels! Most importantly, I've subscribed to them all! P.S. Just like with my previous list, feel free to criticize them if you want! But it won't do any good, because I'm not taking them down. So go ahead, criticize away, you'll only make yourself mad, lalala~~~
The Novels I Followed Back Then
Any genre, but no beginner-level writing.
Classic Female-Oriented Xianxia and Historical Fantasy Novels
Classic novels I've read over and over. No angst, and the characters have sound values.
Books on My Shelf with Rough Writing but Irresistible Stories
These books all have compelling plots and fully realized characters, and they make you think. If you enjoy the list, please give it a like. That makes recommending books more rewarding, hahaha! That's the original description. But I just opened Qidian Reading yet again and found that not a single book pinned to the top of my shelf had updated. All of those books are on this list too, so I'm sorry, everyone.

A List Curator Who Can’t Write Reviews
(To the person who went out of your way to downvote this list: thanks for the effort! I didn't realize you had so little to do!) Everything here is something I've read and personally think is worth reading. I'm too lazy to write reviews. Whether a book is good is up to each reader, not something the list owner gets to decide. (Book recommendations welcome, any genre.) No genre restrictions.
🍀🍀🍀Tales of the Azure Sky🦋🦋🦋
🎉🎉 Thanks for all the flowers! 🌹🌹🌹 Mwah! 💋💋💋 I'll keep recommending great books! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love you all! 💝💝💝 In principle... when an author I like publishes a new book, I'll move their completed older books to a genre-specific list. Thanks for following! ฅ ̳͒•ˑ̫• ̳͒ฅ♡ Love you!
A Veteran Reader's Picks: Great Books with Level-Headed Protagonists and Fresh Ideas
This list mainly recommends books with protagonists who have sound values and fresh ideas. I’m not saying they’re all amazing, but each one has something that struck a chord with me. Of course, because of time constraints, I’ve only read parts of many of them. The list isn’t limited to any one genre: male-oriented, female-oriented, romance, and fantasy are all included. Follow if anything catches your eye.
Some Recent Reads I Recommend ❤
Most of these are female-oriented novels that I thought were pretty good. I've also added a few male-oriented novels. This list is mainly female-oriented, but I've thrown in some books from other categories for variety too (*^▽^*) Try something different once in a while! It's 2023, and I just realized this list is already six years old! Time really flies! The list has to be reviewed, but I'm not sure what qualifies as acceptable. As I've gotten older over the past few years, I've been reading mo

Books I recommend to people everywhere.
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.
Unforgettable Memories
Every longtime bookworm has a few unforgettable books. I went from reading only free novels to paying for a VIP membership, always unable to resist opening my wallet because of the twists and turns in one gripping story after another. I’d wait day after day for updates, then feel strangely empty when a novel ended. I’d look for something similar, but couldn’t help comparing it to the original. I searched through recommendation after recommendation until I finally found my next favorite. I unders
Yuyu's Absolute Favorites \^O^/
I especially love completed novels (there are too few books a reading list can hold) (≧∇≦*)

Interesting Books
Feel free to leave comments and recommendations.

From time to time, I'll also pick books from the free-to-read section. If a book goes downhill later,

To be honest, the plot was good, but the female lead turned me off. I don't know what kind of character the author wanted to give her, but all I saw was that she was a **!
Having read up to chapter 28, I really can't stand the female lead anymore. She was alright at the beginning, but how did she become so increasingly like a saint?
I've read a few chapters and think it's well-written, but this guy surnamed Luo looks like a male lead, and I really dislike this kind of sarcastic male lead. Is this guy the male lead? If so, will he have a lot of screen time and romance later on? Thanks!
When I watched it back then, wasn't it called "Scent of a Ghost"? I was totally confused.
The original "Scent of a Ghost" was so beautiful; it truly was the starting point of wisdom.
I read your post about the child named Muxi, and especially the author's note at the end. I completely empathize. Don't assume that just because children are young, they aren't sensitive or immune to hurt. Thankfully, we didn't turn out the same way. But even though the wounds have healed, the scars remain, and there's still a lingering sense of unease.
I just discovered that the female lead actually has the potential to excel in both arts and sciences.
Initially, I thought the female lead was a journalist and a humanities student with excellent literary skills. Later, I discovered her parents were both researchers, so even if she didn't have a strong aptitude for science, she should still be very talented.
The female lead seems strange; she's sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, sometimes innocent and sometimes shrewd. Is the character portrayal unrealistic?
The female and male leads' attitudes towards Afu are strange. Knowing he's an extremely dangerous person, yet having no choice but to keep him around, don't they take any protective measures? If I were forced to travel with cannibals, and we were the majority, I'd dislocate his jaw so I wouldn't have to listen to him, and dislocate his joints, so he wouldn't keep harming people while I'm constantly on guard.
I love the author's writing style. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to narrate the audio version of this novel, and I hope to see more of your works. 🙂
