A good book can make you laugh or cry. Sometimes it has you leaping to your feet, sometimes it brings tears to your eyes, sometimes it sets your blood racing, and sometimes it makes you smile knowingly...
A Lazy, Undiscriminating Bookworm's List After 11 Years of Reading
I'm putting some books I've read or am following here if I think they're pretty good, so I don't forget about them. If I run out of things to read, I can come back and pick them up again.

For Unusual Tastes, No Beginner Fluff: Books Awaiting Classification
Fantasy, infinite worlds, wuxia, and xianxia! Mostly stories without romance, with smart characters

Books I Once Read Carefully
These are books I've actually read carefully. I didn't go out of my way to look for good books I've read; I just browse around when I'm in a reading slump, and add books to the list whenever I remember it exists! Whether a book is good or not, recommendations and favorites on the platform can only serve as a reference. The editors behind the platform can't decide that for you, either. A book I think is good may not appeal to every reader. Everyone has their own favorite genres and authors! A boo
Books Xiaoye Likes~
These are just my personal tastes. Take a look if you like~ If you know any good books, please recommend them to me~ Feel free to advertise your books! I'll be happiest if someone responds~ But if the author abandons it halfway through... ha ha ha... Then there's nothing I can do, um... I don't read books that are too short or barely underway. It's awful when you reach the exciting part halfway through and there's nothing more to read. I'm too lazy to look for books. It's the worst T_T
The First-Choice List for When You Run Out of Books
Only books that catch my eye earn a recommendation.
Hidden Gems and Classics
No brainless nonsense or toxic content. I prefer Eastern-style stories; for Western fantasy, I like wizard tales. No harems, no saintly self-sacrificing leads, just satisfying reads. System. Invincible leads. Fantasy. History. Xuanhuan. Xianxia.
Sci-Fi + Urban Fantasy + Online Gaming
Saving interesting novels, mainly sci-fi and fantasy. I’ll update and clear out the list from time to time.
Looking for Something to Read? Start Here
I started reading around 2000. The first book I read was Yi Xia, followed by Yi Ti. Qidian did not exist yet back then, and of course, nobody was writing books there either. Taiwanese works dominated the scene at the time. I won't mention the website, or I'll get banned. Though these days, even if I did mention it, I doubt anyone would know it. Everything I chose is something I thought was pretty good, or something I felt had potential. They may not suit everyone's tastes, but feel free to take
Urban Fiction Picks
Whenever I find an interesting book, I want to share it with others. If you like these books, please follow the list or give it a like. I'll try to replace books that don't get any likes when I have time.

I'll Read Anything Except Romance. Sometimes I Read Stories Set in a Post-Apocalyptic World
Lately I've gotten into male-audience novels by female authors. Most are post-apocalyptic, but there are also magic, cultivation, fantasy, xuanhuan, and online-game stories. Whatever I feel like reading goes in. I'm a very slow reader, and I generally don't recommend wish-fulfillment stories. When I occasionally find something good, I add it here, but if I stop enjoying it later, I remove it.
Recommendations for a Reading Drought
Books I can stick with.
Forgotten Classics
These are books I think you can still enjoy when you’re in a reading slump. The beginning may not be great, but stick with them and you may discover what makes them special.
Creative, Smart Novels Worth Following!
No brainless stories, just excitement. Updated regularly; most are good books that went unnoticed. Urban fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, history, and all kinds of great reads. I've read every one of them. I lean toward darker stories!

Mainly xianxia, infinite-flow, mythology, System stories, and more
Cultivating Life Without Cultivating Nature: The First Great Mistake in Spiritual Practice!
These are all novels that I personally consider free of idiotic characters, with protagonists whose intelligence is intact. Today's xianxia and fantasy novels are still making the same mistakes our ancestors warned against a thousand years ago. Feel free to recommend novels in the comments whose protagonists and authors both have functioning brains, as long as there is no female lead or only one female lead! Please leave a comment and recommend something if you've saved it, so we can work togeth

This book could have been a masterpiece. The first 400 chapters were very moving and full of sincerity. Unfortunately, after the last 400 chapters, it was as if the author had changed. It was a case of starting strong but ending weak.
Seriously, the beginning was a masterpiece, but it completely went off the rails later on, with such a huge leap in scope. The beginning of this book was the most captivating one I've ever read.
The chapters about the protagonist's childhood were very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed them. However, they started to decline from middle school onwards, resorting to old-fashioned, face-slapping tropes, which became unbearable to read.
I've finished the whole book! Personally, I think the book fell apart starting from "The Beggar Reads Junior High"! Also, the Meishan lineage became marginalized in the later stages, and what happened to the rampant Meishan soldiers? It was a complete mess!
Suddenly the writing style changed drastically. The beginning was really well-written, but later it became about not caring about money or anything else. It's such a shame that such a good book was ruined like that.
There are some things I really want to say... Why is it that some people, after being saved by the protagonist, only give money and are surprised that the protagonist has some skills (and then the next time they see the protagonist using magic, they're still surprised, still not believing it before the surprise)? And then everyone is surprised again and again... Just for a moment...
I want to ask why the protagonist's village always seems to have problems, while other people's villages are fine. Normal villages don't have so many problems.
Now that it's finished, I'll say it again: they changed authors in the middle and later stages. It changed from the moment they entered the city. You might as well have written about all the strange and bizarre things around Meishan; even the ending after running away from home would have been better than this.
The later parts were absolutely awful; I came here expecting something more, but as I wrote, it veered off into… well, you know… It was so weird.
The author started to let loose and write freely towards the end.
