A Veteran Reader's Reading List
Books I like and am following right now. A veteran bookworm's picks!
Urban Master Detectives
If you don’t read novels for enjoyment, you might as well read a textbook! Most books on this list are urban feel-good fiction!
Top-Tier Novels
All kinds of genres are represented: historical fiction, fantasy, technology, System stories, transmigration, harems, black technology, wuxia, and more. Books are updated regularly.
Creativity Rules: Books with No Comparable Stories
As the name suggests, creativity is king.
Reading List
These are mostly books that look like they'll be satisfying reads.
Books I've Read or Am Reading
A personal hobby. Perhaps I will find kindred spirits.
My Favorites: Books I Think Are Great
These are the books I enjoy reading. Some are complete, some are ongoing, and they cover all sorts of things. A real mixed bag, but they're all good books.
Where the Lights Shine Bright
I'm pretty demanding, and every book here has been carefully selected. I'll keep adding to the list, and remove books if they go off the rails!
Novels I'm Following Now!
I’ve read countless novels! The classics are in the past; the present is what matters. It’s really hard to find a novel worth reading!
Food Storage Bureau.
After all these years of reading, these are the books I personally think are pretty good. I recommend both promising new titles and solid reads, and I’ll keep updating the list. My ratings reflect how much I personally like each book, not anyone else’s opinion. If a book stops updating or ends badly, I may remove it from the list.
Xiaoxiang Academy
There's a golden house and a beautiful woman in every book. I've got tens of thousands saved, so there's sure to be something for you! Will you roam the world with a sword, or master the universe from your sleeve? Will it be intrigue in the palace, or a power struggle at court? A fantastical world of magic, or the path to immortal enlightenment? Ghosts and monsters, or ingenious schemes... I don't stick to a single genre. After all, I enjoy a bit of everything 😂 I can't promise that every book
Moving Stories That Will Move You
Worlds we can imagine, dreams shared by authors and readers.
Recommended Reads
Novels of all kinds
The Years Are Never Quiet, One Wrong Move and It’s Gone
Over twenty books on this list have disappeared. There's so much I want to say, but can't.
A Decade-Long Bookworm: Only Recommending Books I’ve Read and Saved, Continuously Updated!!
Everything I recommend is on my shelf and currently being followed. I only include books I enjoy, and I've personally tested them all. They're very much to my taste. I only have so much time, so I'll add books gradually, and the list definitely won't be full. If you find a book here, please consider following the list.
Promising New Gems, Really Good Reads I'm Following
I've read a lot lately, mostly horror, dark fiction, and lighthearted stories. I don't read many beginner-level novels anymore. I've checked out books on all the platforms, so feel free to follow this list. I'll recommend more in the future.
Top Picks: Promising New Reads! Potential Masterpieces!
A decade-long veteran's top picks, recommended from the heart!
A Little Bit of Everything, in Every Style
This list covers all kinds of professions and characters. There are fewer and fewer stories that keep me reading without making me quit, and that I go back to after they're finished. Sometimes I really like a story at first, but the more I read, the more repetitive it feels, so I have to drop it. There's nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from others when writing, but the real problem is a lack of originality. Bringing your own fresh ideas to the table is the surest way to attract readers.
An Ordinary Reading List
Books I've followed or am currently reading
Urban Masterpieces, Immortal-Grass Level
Handpicked by me. Thanks to everyone who's sent flowers. I hope these books help you find something to read when you're in a slump. "I Started Global Evolution," "Reformers of the Heavens" "Destined to Be Emperor" "History's Strongest Son-in-Law," "Hedging," "The Seventh Consortium" Some books from other sites are pretty good too! "The Original Heroine (Quick Transmigration)," "Despising the Poor and Fawning on the Rich (Imperial Exams)," "A Carefree Tang Dynasty," "A Lazy Emperor in the Song Dy
Classics
Every novel is rich in substance and knowledge.
Great Books I've Come Across
The books I consider good, mostly urban, military, and historical fiction.

Bamboo Shoot Reading List
My tastes are all over the place, so I can't guarantee you'll like these. I can only guarantee that I've subscribed to every book I recommend. I won't recommend classics, since plenty of people already do that. I didn't read Back to the Past: I Became a Cat while it was being serialized because I thought the title sounded bad. Now that I've read it, I feel like I owe the author a monthly ticket, so I'm giving it my strongest recommendation.

[Comment] The romantic subplot needs improvement.
The romance scenes in Lao Tie's writing always give me goosebumps. They're either like the inexplicable bulldozing of Hong Kong entertainment, or like this book, they just throw in a romance scene without any buildup. The writing itself is truly cringe-worthy.
Ugh, it's painful to watch. Hesitant, cowardly, and self-indulgent. They don't use their abilities, always cowering and useless, only showing a little resistance when forced into a corner. I don't know what the author was thinking; this is absolutely toxic.
This book is full of contradictions, including the use of chili peppers.
This novel is truly a masterpiece of showing off and a classic example of face-slapping. The protagonist's life is essentially a constant journey of showing off and slapping others in the face. Everyone he meets—I mean everyone—is captivated by his cool demeanor.
Write more hard science articles; readers can learn about traditional culture and broaden their horizons while reading. But these forced, pretentious attempts at knowledge-sharing are just ridiculous. These treasure-hunting books are supposed to be educational, right? The forced drama and poor writing make it awkward and unpleasant to read. You have to skip around. 😅
It's unwatchable; the more I watch, the more awkward it becomes.
The story was fine in itself, but why does the author keep spouting off a bunch of grand principles? The protagonist keeps emphasizing that it's not because he's rich or anything like that, so why keep emphasizing that? Why not just be flamboyant and say that it's because he has money that he has the courage to speak out about his past grievances, resentments, and indignations?
This author's books are weird; they suddenly become really childish and awkward as you read on. I just can't continue...
It's an interesting cheat code, but it's written too "fake"; a normal person wouldn't do something like that.
The beginning of the book about Taobao was quite good, but the later parts became too pretentious and a bit disgusting to read.
