Great Reads, No Mindless Novels for Beginners
I’ve read countless books on Qidian and hit more land mines than I can count. Every time I get blown up, I wish someone had warned me ahead of time. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a book-list feature back then, so I had to test each book myself, one painful read at a time... I’ve read every book on this list, and there’s absolutely no brainless amateur fluff. I hope you enjoy them. Here’s my rule for recommendations: I generally don’t recommend ongoing books with fewer than 500,000 words. Getting
Great Completed Female-Led Xianxia Novels
This list is for completed xianxia romance novels. These are all stories I've read and enjoyed.
Books I've Enjoyed in Recent Years, Mostly Female-Led Xianxia and Mystery
I'm picky and always running out of books. Lately, I'm only reading xianxia, fantasy, and mystery novels with good prose. I like strong male and female leads who stand side by side. No weak little flowers, no saintly characters, no mindless stories, and no melodramatic romantic entanglements full of angst. Books I've read and liked: Jiejian by Yu Jing Peng Xiang; From Longevity to Ascension by Xiao Shi Ni Ge Zha Zha; The Legend of Shen Li by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang; The First Sickly Disciple of the Cul

A flower is a world, and a book lets you savor life. (Since the list is limited to 100 books, I’ll keep removing older ones to make room for the new books I read.)

A Veteran Bookworm's Female Cultivation Reading List
After years of reading, I've read quite a few female-led cultivation stories where the heroines focus on their path to immortality instead of romance. I can't stand stories where the heroine loses all reason the moment she meets the male lead, or fluffy romance novels dressed up as cultivation stories. You can rest assured there are absolutely no books like that on this list. Come on in! P.S. I feel bad that most of my recommendations are either new or on hiatus. So much for saying you can rea

I've read every book here and thought they were good. Quite a few are finished, and many were recommended by fellow readers. If you accidentally fall into one of the skinny books' pits, please don't hit me, because... I'm down here in the pit too. One more thing: I'm very particular about what I read, but feel free to advertise. Just give me a title. If I can get into it and finish it, I'll add it to the list. Please spare me the long-winded, pointless recommendations. If I don't read it, I'll

Yang Family Library
I enjoy a wide range of genres, and what I like changes over time. Lately I've been exploring all kinds of books, in both the male-oriented and female-oriented categories. Some are books I read a while ago that left a strong impression. Mostly, these are stories with strong female leads and male leads who aren't womanizers. I've read all of them and genuinely love them, so I'm sharing them with you 😊

Quality Novels
The strong stand on their own, respect and love themselves, and so earn the love and respect of others. The weak belittle and demean themselves, worry constantly about what they might lose, and never make an effort to claim what they want. They wallow in self-pity, earn others' dislike, and drive people away. It's fine to be competitive, but don't take what isn't yours by force. It's fine to scheme, but don't provoke someone and then play the victim. It's fine to fall in love, but please bring y
Promising New Xianxia Romance Novels and Other Great Reads
Now that the list reveals the list owner's fan level, I have no choice but to bring out my alt account ID. The alt's list is called “Soft Jade, Flowing Light: Alt Account.” I've subscribed to all the books on it. If I haven't subscribed to one, it's either because I couldn't keep reading or because I can't afford it right now and will catch up later. I only recently started working, after all. What a bummer... I sometimes update the reviews for books on the list, so if you like them, please foll

Xianxia Heroines
I love reading xianxia novels with strong female leads. I admire their free-spirited personalities and their determination to pursue the Great Dao without being held back by worldly entanglements. I'll save them and read them slowly. Oh wow, so many books!
Books Loved by the Most Veteran of Readers
I’ve quietly been reading for over a decade. I don’t know anything about promotion or recommendations, and I never join reader groups. I have a pile of points and no idea what to do with them 😂😂. This list is for books I enjoy. They generally meet three basic standards: good writing, sound values, and reasonably consistent logic.

A Veteran Reader's Little List
I like stories with good writing, sound logic, and few or no golden fingers. I enjoy xianxia, historical romance, contemporary romance, dark, bloody, horror, twisted, quiet and gentle, slow-burn, sinister, and evil stories. As long as it's well written, I don't care whether it's by a big-name author or a newcomer, or whether it's aimed at men or women. I've been reading for 17 years and have tried every kind of novel. I consider myself pretty picky and just want quality books. Beginner-level sto

My personal opinion: Why insist on lowering the spiritual root? Although pretending to be weak can lead to success, if you play the fool for too long, you'll really become a fool. A better spiritual root can be better nurtured.
In a word, strong women and strong men are more disgusting than strong women and weak men! The most acceptable male protagonists I can accept are the vase male protagonists in Empress Live Broadcast. Male protagonists who are stronger than the female protagonist will always feel nauseated! Because I'm a man and I can't understand why YY has to be a dick in his dreams and let someone hold him down forever!
Sigh, foolish Fuyao. After reading the recent comments, the debate about whether there is a male lead or not is really ridiculous. Anyone who has followed this story from beginning to end should know that love has never been the core of this story, but all kinds of emotions are profound, and every character is vivid: Wuyou, Lixiao, Master, Senior Brother, even Egg Snow Demon, and many other…
I read over 60 chapters and couldn't take it anymore. I'm here to warn you: The story is clichéd and unoriginal. The female lead is bullied but has an unusual background, and after a minor hardship, she gains a spatial ability as a cheat code. Many of the female supporting characters are brainless, scheming, and intellectually challenged.
Without a love story, a woman is not complete; emotions and desires are human nature.
I couldn't finish reading chapter 70. Every chapter is filled with various female supporting characters belittling the female lead, who is resentful and keeps saying she wants to keep a low profile, but she always manages to steal the spotlight. Is this a cultivation novel? Why isn't she focusing on leveling up and fighting monsters, instead of just spouting nonsense all day?
I've read many cultivation novels on Qidian, and this is one of only two I've finished; the other is *Xianzhu*, published on the fourth day of the first lunar month. I almost gave up on this book a few times initially because I felt the beginning was poorly written, but I persevered, and from around chapters 80 or 90 onwards, it was excellent. It's a truly unexpected story.
The author is biased and dislikes girls.
Is the author's dislike of women due to same-sex repulsion? Or is there another reason? The author portrays all the female supporting characters as lacking intelligence! They're all willful, capricious, and thoughtless, constantly offending people and hindering the protagonist. They all hate the female lead, sabotage her, and then meet a terrible end!
The calligraphy is truly excellent, full of life and rich in emotion.
I couldn't continue after reading the first two chapters. All cultivation novels emphasize the supremacy of strength in the cultivation world, which is true to some extent. However, while emphasizing strength as everything, the setting is like a power struggle within a mortal household.
