Shanmao’s Qidian Book Recommendations

From 2006 to the present, Shancat's history is the history of recommending books.

Otaku Reads, All-Out Anime Fun

Some well-written slice-of-life novels. Both old and new books. If you like a book, give it a like. I'll periodically remove the ones with too few likes.

My Personal Favorites

Books I've been reading lately

Creativity Needs Readers' Care

If you're looking for innovative web novels rather than stories where individual combat power just keeps increasing, check out my list. If you've followed it, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks to everyone who sent me flowers. I was a little surprised.

Books I Think Are Good, with Smart Characters and Sound Logic

It's hard to find good books these days. Here are some that aren't dumbed down.

Go Save the World, Youngster

Great Completed Novels

Good completed books I've read.

Books I'm Following and Finished Books I Kept

I'm picky about what I read. Good books are hard to find. *sigh* Don't ask me for recommendations. I'm a recluse.

My Reading List Is Absolutely Explosive...

These are all books I've read and enjoyed. I hope you find something here that you like, too.

Nourishment or Poisonous Weeds? Let Future Readers Decide

Bored, I made a boring book list. Since I read widely and randomly, I casually put together this list to tell everyone about some interesting or downright terrible books. The list mainly features otaku fiction, with lots of cute antics. Anyway, shouldn't novels just be fun? ^o^ Every recommendation here was personally selected by me, though sadly eleven of them have already vanished.

Behind the Scenes, Farming, Laid-Back, Homebody Vibes: A Niche Reading List from a Ten-Year Veteran

I've been reading web novels for ten years. I can't stand the usual passionate battles, dark themes, harems, and so on. These days, I just want novels that are easy and relaxing to read.

A Bit of Everything, With a Soft Spot for Anime and Sci-Fi [Boutique]

If you're out of books to read, come by my little shop and see if you find anything you like.

Fanfic Graveyard (See Comments) (Eastern Fantasy) (Otaku Favorites) (Some Other Genres)

Thanks for all the flowers (๑>؂<๑) Awooo, awooo QwQ. I only wanted to quietly recommend Touhou Project fan fiction, but so many Touhou fanfics on Qidian have disappeared, hasn’t that happened? QwQ Maybe lots of other fanfics are gone, too. There’s nothing I can do, so I’ll have to fill out this list somehow. Original description: A collection of recommended Touhou Project fan fiction. The selling point is good stories that are no longer being updated, supplemented by some fanfics that are stil

A Book Nook with Every Genre

A mixed bag. I save whatever catches my eye.

Favorite Light Reads and ACG Picks

Okay, okay. Lighthearted reads, ACG-inspired stuff, occasional updates. I won't maintain the older entries. A bunch of books are back!

Great Book Recommendations

They’re all great books!

My Personal List: No Mindless Reads

I read all kinds of books. If something seems interesting, I'll casually recommend it. Some books are ones I couldn't get through, of course, so I've added them here to remind myself not to click on them next time. You could call this my personal reading list.

One Reader's Book List

Welcome to the Drunken Book Pavilion: Lose Yourself in Books and Forget the World

Books I think are good. I'm not recommending famous authors' works since plenty of people have already read them. If you're in a reading slump, take a look. I'll add any interesting new books I find.

Mixed Anime and Manga Library

As a longtime book lover, I've carefully picked out some fun, enjoyable reads. This list will be updated from time to time. Most of these are books I've read myself... I generally don't recommend books that fall apart at the end or get abandoned by the author... So, the quality is guaranteed!

A Collection of Anime and Manga Stories

All of these are anime and manga related. I personally enjoy reading them, and will update this list from time to time

(Personal) Homebody Picks: Anime, Transformation, and More

Hahahahahaha~ \(≧▽≦)/~

Hidden Gems

A handpicked selection of underrated books

Real Anime-Style Fiction (Mostly Comedy; I Can't Find Enough Plot-Driven Stories)

I'm running out of books, so I'm checking out anime-themed stories on Qidian. All I ask is that they aren't too awful, and I'll be satisfied. 1. There are lots of heavily altered One Piece and Naruto stories, and they're popular too, but only one or two are readable. 2. I think gender-swap stories can be pretty good, but far too many are awful. 3. Stories about traveling between different worlds are either too depressing, like when the protagonist is constantly a puppet and a walking energy sour
