Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into light entertainment, and I avoid romance and urban fiction, with a few exceptions. I dropped some of these books later on, but they still have something worth reading. I hope you find one that suits you.

The longer I read, the fewer books I find worth reading. Here are some I've read or am reading that suit my tastes. P.S. I'm out of books to read, so recommendations of all kinds are welcome. Thank you so much!
Wild Ideas, Sci-Fi, History, Worldbuilding, Golden Fingers, and Writing
I skip books with awful writing or uninspired ideas, but I'll include ones with frustrating plot points or dumb characters

Bookshelf Favorites 💜🆕🆙💪
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...
Books That Touch the Divine
How much history lies buried beneath the yellow sands? How many truths have been deliberately fabricated? And how many potentially legendary books remain unknown? Who knows when we became so restless, or when we grew numb. Nor do we know when we'll be swallowed up by the endless crush of worldly life. This is simply a collection of the books I consider great. I hope they'll awaken your fondest memories of discovering web novels for the first time! And yes, feel free to recommend books. I'll pick
Invincible, Pure Thrills
Updated regularly, with all kinds of overpowered leads and feel-good stories.
Novels That Leave You Happy and Energized
A curated selection of all kinds of good books. My standards: they should leave you feeling satisfied, without too much filler, and the protagonist shouldn't be a robot, a heartless person, or an idiot. They should have both intelligence and emotional awareness. They can have ambitions, but shouldn't be ruthless plunderers. The plot should be compelling, not just the same thing repeated over and over. Books that meet these standards are worth keeping, in my opinion, and I'm willing to pay to rea
A Veteran Reader's Immortal Herb Picks
Some books get taken down without warning. The ones that survive are the cream of the crop. I'm not a fan of any particular author. I don't remember authors, just stories. I might finish subscribing to a whole book without remembering who wrote it. That's just how unique and willful I am, haha.
Books with Unique Settings
Books I have read
Handpicked Book Nook
There are lots of promising new books, and even more older ones over 300,000 words. Some books are worth reading even after they've been completed. It's satisfying to watch a new book grow, while older books have plenty of content and a proven level of quality, so they're unlikely to be abandoned. This is my main list. The categories are pretty flexible: I add books if I like them, though I think most of them have pretty good ideas. Come take a look and see if they're your cup of tea. I also ha

Recommendations from someone who's been reading for ten years. I've forgotten the names of many classics, but there are plenty of ongoing stories worth reading. To me, they're best savored slowly.

Fifteen-Year Bookworm's Collector's Edition: Classics to Remember and Finished Masterpieces
Books I've read over the past ten-plus years, ones I enjoyed and can still remember finding. Some are books I'm reading now. I used to read all sorts of things, but these days I prefer lighter reads. I'm here for a good time! I find fantasy, infinite-world, historical, xianxia, martial arts, and game novels a bit tiring, though there are plenty of excellent works among them, simply because there are so many. Lately, I've been enjoying transmigration, rebirth, plane-hopping, officialdom, urban, a

I just came back from the financial resources. Today I saw the author's single chapter. I was quite touched. However, I really like the author's realistic style. I won't talk about the monthly recommendation tickets in the front. The 5 monthly passes will be full in the future. I just made up a full subscription. I am not a wealthy person, so I can't give too much reward, but it is a small support to the author. Come on 😜😜
The two Jinyiwei leaders have rebelled, can the emperor still live well? It's incredible😰
Turns out you are really an idiot, Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth🤣You even explained it on horseback
The protagonist's character is draggy and repetitive. After a while, he said there was not enough time and he had to rush! Later, when we talked about delegating power, we went back to the previous situation. Everything was done half-way, and we were not decisive or thorough at all. If it were really realistic, the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed by the mid to late stage.
The writing in the back is so bad, it's no different than a primary school student. Fighting foreigners is not like the Ming Dynasty, but more like the last years of the Qing Dynasty. Which foreigner in the Ming Dynasty dared to say that 800 people could sweep across the Far East? Which foreigner dared to call the Ming people yellow-skinned monkeys in that era? Which foreigner dares to say that one foreigner can fight 30 Ming soldiers? It is really too witty to describe the muskets of their time as automatic rifles. This is the Ming Dynasty, not the late Qing Dynasty. There was no Opium War or the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
You can watch it if you don't have a brain, no brain required
To be honest, what I wrote above is quite good, and I have some IQ. From the beginning of the Battle of Ningjin, it was pure **. I have no military knowledge at all. The artillery is almost comparable to modern howitzers. The Jinyiwei is simply a fairy organization. They know all the information. The negotiations are even more ridiculous. They send people one by one to redeem them, and then they are detained and then sent back to surrender. Do you think that everyone else is a fool and you are the only one who is smart?
This emperor is a coward, and his whole plan is not to kill, so why not let the sycophant stay for the New Year? Everything is left to King Xin, so why not write about Chongzhen? I really feel helpless when I read it. Being an emperor and not daring to kill anyone, you just have to be a ball, it's not that fun. In history, Gongyan of the Wei Dynasty is the most interesting. When writing about emperors, it's really cowardly. Bah.
I can't stand it anymore after reading more than 800 chapters. It always repeats the same routine. First, the enemy party is secretly doing something, and the officials under him must have been investigating it for a long time. Then they have to investigate it themselves in order to avoid chaos and seek stability. The protagonist, the emperor, knows what the enemy is doing, and finally solves it with a wave of his hand. Then the so-called Donglin and the eunuchs, who had no lower IQ, no soldiers and no power, always thought that killing a few people who supported the emperor would help them fight against the emperor. They killed them one after another, fearing the pain, and then after an N chapter, they started to have trouble again. The transitional thing in the middle is how to govern the country and what the policies are. They are all reasonable.
The only thing I feel after reading this article is that all the officials in the Ming Dynasty are very shameless. They are all the kind of people who can do anything, including corruption, water transportation, and controlling food prices, but no one else can, not the emperor and queen, not the prince, and not other parties. What I do is for the country and the people, and what you do is harmful to the country and the people.
You who traveled back in time are not as good as the original emperor. You caused chaos in the court just to remove a few officials? I'm really convinced.
