All kinds of novels I have read personally. I have several years of reading experience and should have a decent eye for quality by now. My tastes probably lean toward veteran readers, and I try to ensure that you will not regret reading these.

Green Curtain's Picks of Completed Novels
A veteran reader's tastes: I like a moderate amount of wish fulfillment, and most of my picks aren't harem novels! I can't stand face-slapping, harems, or excessive wish fulfillment. I've been reading novels for years and have collected some I think are good, ranked by stars, with five stars being the highest.
♥ Mainly Showbiz, Anime, and Urban Fiction (*¯︶¯*) ♥
Collecting books I like O(∩_∩)O, mainly entertainment and anime-related works. The protagonist may be a director, singer, actor, editor, musician, manga artist, writer... There will also be some modern-city, xuanhuan cultivation, and anime-related works that I particularly enjoy. Most are male-oriented fiction, basically all of them. I personally like books with plot and logic, and I prefer a single female lead or no romance, with pure leveling up (˃^ω^˂).

Some Books I've Been Reading Lately
My personal picks, a bit of everything
A Veteran Reader's Classics, Currently Reading and Saved
Recommended by a longtime bookworm. These books definitely have substance. Fantasy, sci-fi, anime, urban fiction, and a bit of everything else. I only recommend books I've actually read. I can't guarantee they'll suit your taste, but they're all worth checking out. I'll get around to the books recommended in the comments, but... if they're too short, I'll pass. They need to be at least 100,000 words or there's not enough to judge, and reading a story that's still just a seedling can be painful~
The Three-Flavors Herb Garden
I read all kinds of things except female-oriented fiction, and I recommend anything I enjoy. My tastes are all over the place, but they’re all good reads. I need a reason to read a book. Mostly, I’m looking to have fun, relax, and enjoy the ride. Sometimes I’m after a certain feeling, whether it’s cultivation, fantasy, spiritual qi revival, or something else. In short, if it can draw me in and give me a little insight into life, that’s enough for me. If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel

Macchiato's Alt Account Reading List
I pick books to recommend by reading them one by one, so updates are slow. Any book I take the time to review is worth a read. I'll give books a rating when I have time. I never spoil books I recommend.
Books I Love to Read
( _ _)ノ😘 Some of these books might be a little niche. I'm not much into fantasy and the like, and prefer books that are light and fun. So most are farming or development stories, along with a few unusual picks. It's a pretty mixed bag, but I think they're all classics. 🙄🐯 Whenever I find a good book, I'll add it here, so please follow the list! 😘😘😘 If you know any good books, recommend them to me too! (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)❀ Please follow!
An Omnivore's Reading List: If You Want to Read It, It's Here
There's a bit of everything here: laid-back everyday stories, urban wish-fulfillment, historical transmigration, and more. The writing tends to be humorous and warm. Whatever you're looking for, you'll probably find it here~ (P.S. Except stories for female readers. I'm a woman, but I don't read romance aimed at women. XOXO.)
Books to Cure a Reading Slump
These are books I think are pretty good. Some are ones I read a while ago but don't think much of now. I'm curious what everyone else thinks. I've read every one of them, and only added the promising ones once they had enough chapters. There are classics here, so you're guaranteed a good read. Just have to vent: so many books by big-name authors these days are unreliable. There are barely any I can stick with, which is frustrating.

The entire book feels like the author is fawning over people in the entertainment industry. This is practically the lowest-status writer I've ever seen in an entertainment novel. Logically, a renowned writer like the protagonist, famous both domestically and internationally, should have a much higher social standing than any director or actor. Even someone like Zhang Yimou, so what?
The first few chapters were like poison; it was just a bad movie, but the author made it sound like a traitor to humanity. There are plenty of bad movies in real life, is it really that exaggerated?
[Review] To be honest, the rest of the book is fine, but the author's writing style needs improvement; especially the author's tendency to use overly formal language...
To be honest, the book is fine in other aspects, but the author's writing style needs improvement. In particular, the author often uses formal, literary language in the characters' dialogue, which makes it really uncomfortable to read.
This is awful! Chapter 60 was enough to turn you off. The protagonist plagiarized, but then he gets all nervous and excited when he wins an award—it's so contrived. It's not the normal reaction of a plagiarist winning an award; he acts like he's creating something entirely new. Absolutely toxic.
The female lead is toxic
The female lead who's always throwing herself at you is toxic! She doesn't like you, yet she keeps chasing after you, making me think women are cheap. We've known each other since graduation, you were even my manager, we were so close, and I still didn't accept you, but then you moved across the hall, claiming there's no such thing as an iceberg that won't melt—it's so despicable!
The beginning is too exaggerated. If a director in real life fails at making a film, he might say a few words at the beginning, but then he'd just be a bystander. Only someone with a mental problem would keep staring at one person and cursing him. The world the author created is too scary. Couldn't they have made it a little lighter?
Having read up to Chapter 11, I found it utterly toxic. If you wrote it like this, real-life directors of terrible films would have to atone for their sins with death, and their graves would be blooming with flowers.
The film, with a 300 million yuan investment, grossed less than 50 million yuan at the box office, leading to the bankruptcy of the investment company. Later, it was alleged to be money laundering. The actual production cost was likely less than 50 million yuan. If it was money laundering, how could a film company that invested in it go bankrupt? It was simply money laundering—money went in one hand and out the other.
This is a work from a few years ago; maybe this style was popular back then. I really dislike the character Chen Jiaxuan, and I also hate the male lead's nonchalant attitude. He won't say no to beautiful women approaching—it's ridiculous. In relationships, if you're good to me, I'll be grateful and reciprocate, but just because you're good to me doesn't mean I can let you roam freely in my world.
Why do all the protagonists in novels start out in such a miserable state?
