Women’s Fiction So Good You Can’t Put It Down

I registered on Qidian in 2005 and became a high-level VIP member in 2008. That's ten years as a VIP, not counting the three years before that. I started out reading the main site, and there's no need to mention big names like San Shao and Fanqie. I'd read just about every popular book from back then. Later, when Qidian launched its women's fiction section, I gradually started reading more of that. Early on, very few women's fiction books could compete with the main site's appeal. Then I realize

Let's Encourage One Another

I'm very picky about female-lead stories and prefer science fiction with spatial settings. One of the best things about stories set in the future is that anything is imaginable, giving both the author and me plenty of room for fantasy and freedom of thought. I like innovative, creative writing that feels warm and relaxing.

Give the Natives a Chance to Survive

These days, every story has a space, a System, an old master, transmigration, rebirth, or Infinite Flow. Is there no native who can make a decent life for themselves? I’m desperate for something to read. Please recommend stories where natives can thrive on their own. (I’ve personally tested all the stories on this list, and they’re fantastic.)

Favorite Books: Heroines

There is a bit of every genre here. Most of the novels Xixi likes and recommends feature female protagonists, because I personally dislike harem novels, as well as fake female-protagonist novels where the story is supposedly about the heroine but the male lead takes up an enormous amount of space. I feel the same way about male-protagonist novels (ー̀εー́). So you may notice that 90% of the novels on this list have little romance and few scenes focused on the male lead.

Fantasy, Quick Transmigration, and Romance

Novels I've read and enjoyed. Most have no romance or just one couple. I'm not a fan of harem stories.

The Book Pavilion and the Wonderful Reads Garden

These are the good books I've read over the years. I dedicate this list to everyone struggling to find something to read. I also recommend Plane-Side Livestream and The Life of a Shrewd Woman. I'll add more good books when I find them. Aside from a few good books, I've noticed more and more new novels becoming dumbed down. Their titles are getting more blunt, and their content increasingly simplistic. Good books are hard to find. Please recommend some!

Lingering Sentiments Amid Fluttering Robes

Historical romance makes up the largest share of female-oriented fiction on Qidian, and its many authors keep producing one good book after another. In those bygone eras of classical elegance and fluttering robes, all sorts of women come to life on the page, taking us back in time to experience portraits of young noblemen and ladies shaped by their age. Young men and women in historical settings go through all kinds of different experiences. Their stories really draw me in, and I'm sure many rea
