Future Jun’s Handpicked Reads
I've read novels for years and have seen all kinds of genres. I've been making recommendation lists for nine years, too. Most of the books on my lists are ones I've read myself. I've gotten to know each one and appreciate what makes it special and different from the rest. Everyone has their own favorite genres. If the books I recommend happen to suit your tastes, that's wonderful. The books I recommend are all excellent and a pleasure to read. Everyone's welcome to join me. Most of my recommenda
Novels I Enjoy
Books I like and have bought in full. I don't sort them much; I just add whatever I find. Feel free to take a look if you're interested. I'm a bit picky about what I read, and I only keep going if a book catches my eye. Sometimes I lose interest partway through.
Urban Master Detectives
If you don’t read novels for enjoyment, you might as well read a textbook! Most books on this list are urban feel-good fiction!

Avoid Beginner-Level Stories, Treasure Your Time: A Collection of Wild Ideas
Hey, are you tired of overpowered chosen-one heroes? They're born invincible, every woman who sees them falls for them for no reason, every man wants to become their sworn brother, and every villain is brainless and practically begs the hero to trample them. Every technique and opportunity is conveniently laid out for the protagonist. If they don't become ruler of the world and shatter the void, they can barely show their face in public. Who are these brainless wish-fulfillment stories insulting

These Are My Tastes, Leave If You Don't Like Them!
In my opinion, there are some questionable parts, but nothing serious! Please don't obsess over minor mistakes. If you can't let them go, then don't read novels. If you can't accept that, write a book yourself that you think is flawless and let the readers enjoy it! There are trolls everywhere, but I hope the author won't pay them any mind! Many excellent books have been ruined by trolls! These days, I always feel like there are no books left to read. Alas! So many books are on my shelves, yet
Novels I Like with No Female Lead or Just One
I'll note whether a book has no female lead or a single female lead, along with any major dealbreakers. I removed Late Ming and The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor because they kept getting flagged for supposedly prohibited words and wouldn't pass review. Neither is strictly a no-female-lead story, though. The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor is good and basically has no female lead; I really like it. Both male leads in Late Ming end up with more than one woman, so skip it if that's a dealbreaker. I also rec

Wouldn’t it be grand to be a steed galloping a thousand miles! The novels on this list are ones I read back when I was completely obsessed with fiction. Some are now considered excellent works or even groundbreaking classics, and many were thrilling historical or fantasy stories at the time. There are a few I started reading and couldn’t bear to delete, so I’ve kept them as mementos... This list is simply a way for me to remember what I’ve read and revisit the complicated feelings I had at the t
Basically No Female Lead...
Someone said a terrible female lead can ruin a god-tier novel (｡ì _ í｡). Fine, I’ll try to find some books without female leads.
One Point Ahead of You
Saving some books I enjoy reading Either lighthearted and everyday, or original, or well-written with sound values, or with an interesting plot *2018.1.7 By the way, An Li is so adorable By the way, the authors are updating more and more slowly. Looking at this, Ci Miao's updates are pretty steady That's right *2018.1.4 0–3: Can be removed at any time 3–3.5: Quick transmigration, historical, or mindless light reads 3.5–4: I quite like these, and they're of a decent standard 4–4.5: I really like

It Feels So Good Not to Chase Updates
Every novel here is complete, so there's no need to follow an ongoing series. The only catch is that some endings feel rather rushed 😑 P.S. I really feel like my own words have come back to smack me in the face. At first, I said I’d include one completed novel per author because I like to find books by author. When I discover a book I love, I want to read everything else that author has written too. But after finishing those books, I realized one thing: authors who write one great novel often wr
Wu Wu Wu’s Supernatural Book List
What I love most are supernatural and mystery novels. This reading list contains only works I personally enjoy. There are no books added out of friendship: every supernatural novel here is one I've liked and either read or am currently following, collected for revisiting. If you know of any excellent works not yet included, please leave a comment. I'll read them one by one and decide whether to add them. And thank you in advance for sharing
One Female Lead or No Female Lead
🔥🔥🔥 This is it ☞ [All kinds of wild ideas, with a focus on sci-fi] o(╯□╰)o No novels by the big names on the rankings. I don't like harems, and if there's more than one heroine, it's a harem to me. P.S. And novels that claim to have one heroine but still flirt around... even more disgusting than a full-blown harem. 🔥🔥🔥 I'll keep refreshing the list with old and new books every day, all on the sly to get more followers. The exception is stories set in historical or fantasy worlds. But harems

Lately, I'll be highlighting some new books. Here are some classic completed novels: Tang Bricks, The Wisdom of the Great Song, The Imperial Physician, Brocade-Clad Night Walk, The Brocade Guards Rul
Novels Without Harem-Seeking, Worth Rereading
Novels I can read over and over, none of them harem novels. Ten years ago, I could still enjoy harem stories. But the more I read, the pickier I became. Real life is stressful enough, so reading has gradually become a more relaxing pastime. I like food, country life, history, and horror mysteries. My tastes are all over the place, but I've really grown tired of harem novels. I'll keep searching for good books and savor the colorful worlds their authors create. →_→ I often put a book aside halfw

If it weren't for that main case, this novel would definitely be just as good as The Darker One as it was as a TV series. Seeing the last few chapters, I actually felt a little reluctant to say goodbye. I didn't skip any chapters except for the Peerless Manual.
It's very well written, like a crime drama.
This is a very good crime novel! It's a pity it doesn't get much attention. I don't understand why articles that use crime as a cover for romance novels get so much attention.
The story is still very engaging. My favorite parts are Wei Wuxian's despair in killing people and the horror of freezing human heads and feeding minced meat to dogs. The only downsides are the Man-Eating Island, Musou, and the main storyline's Fire Sea of the Dead—the writing was really unreadable. The other stories were fine.
Maybe it's because I haven't read this kind of book before, but it feels really well-written. It's so vivid and relatable.
4 Likes and favorited! Author, keep writing a great sequel!

I read the synopsis. Is this book a comedy/comedy type?
Is Qidian (the online literature platform) sick? When I'm reading a novel, I have to block a chapter every few chapters. Where can I complain about Qidian and vent my frustration?
Turns out this "outsider" wasn't an outsider at all. Boring, clickbait, lying, I'm outta here.
