Heartfelt Recommendations from a Veteran Reader
Books I think are basically good. Feel free to take a look. I especially recommend Interface Card (Ruo Shu). The style is rugged, the imagery realistic, and the writing is still quite nuanced.
Every Book Is a Gem!
Genre doesn't matter, and neither does whether the author is famous. What matters is whether it's good and well written. I only recommend quality books, across all kinds of genres. Reading different kinds of books feels like experiencing different lives. You can't go wrong by saving this list! It'll let you roam across the Six Realms: gods, demons, immortals, monsters, ghosts, and humans. Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, these books can help readers thrive in any situation, regardl
Serious Reads, No Cutesy Characters or Harem Stories
The protagonists are levelheaded and composed, with strong inner resolve. No womanizers, no tormenting the protagonist, and not too much drawn-out romance. This list is really just for me to save books (>^ω^<)
Tu Tu's Historical Fiction Bookshelf (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Just what I'm looking for, stories of the same type. I love them! Sending love.
Mining Gold from a Sea of Poison
I care most about logical storytelling and well-developed characters. Absolutely no harems.
Books That Kept Me Up All Night!
I've read every book here myself, and only picked the ones that left a strong impression on me.
Our Goal: Never Run Out of Books!
I'm in a reading slump right now 😣😖😭

My personal rating: better than decent.
Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.
An Old Bookworm's Reading List
People around me don't understand why I love reading novels so much. I tell them that every book contains a colorful little world, and I want to see what makes each one unique and hear its different stories, whether they're funny, moving, or peaceful. These worlds touch and captivate me. I want to share the stories I love with everyone!
Books This Veteran Reader Enjoys
Nothing much to say. I'm just sharing a few books I'm following. Authors who come here to advertise, don't bother; I usually won't read your books. Updated from time to time, usually by removing a few books and adding some new ones.
Just for Fun
I heard it's lame not to make a book list. My tastes are all over the place, and since there's a limit to how many books I can add, I'll gradually remove classic older books to make room for promising new works and ongoing novels. Why can't I get one book approved? I didn't mention an external link even once, did I?
🌸💙👑Books I've Fully Read and Loved👑💙🌸
Every book on this list is from my fully paid collection and personal shelf. I've read each one at least once, and genuinely love them. I'm sharing them with fellow readers, and keeping a record of what I've read for myself. Books must meet these standards to make the list: first, the writing has to be good; then, the logic must be rigorous; and the values should be sound. Most importantly, the story must be compelling enough that I can return to it years later when I'm out of books to read. Onl
Curing a Reading Slump
0. Running out of books to read is really painful. I hope I can help fellow readers find some relief. 1. This list is updated from time to time. 2. Some books may become less engaging later on, but I added them because they made me fall in love at first sight, so I won't remove them. 3. My tastes are all over the place, so this list isn't limited to any particular genre or set of genres. 4. I hope there will always be novels I can enjoy wholeheartedly. 5. No female-oriented fiction or romance. 6
My Reading List
Ten years as a reader. Here are some great books.
Pastime for Gazing at the Sky
Stories to while away the time
Urban Novels for My Backup Bookshelf
A strange urban-fiction list that no one follows, just to save books for later
No Generic Novels
Personal favorites, a collection of great reads. I've been reading on Qidian for ten years. I never follow the so-called masterpieces by big-name authors. Their books are usually pretty good, of course, but votes aren't a reliable guide anymore, and recommendations from Qidian aren't trustworthy either. If you want to find good books, you have to check out reading lists. Books recommended by several lists are usually pretty decent.
Great Stories a Veteran Bookworm Has Followed, Plus Excellent Completed Novels
Books I've been following lately, along with completed ones I've read and particularly enjoyed. There are books for both male- and female-oriented readers, so pick whatever suits your taste.
Lighthearted, Funny, and Irreverent~
Life is already hard enough. Why make yourself suffer more when you read? (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ~~~ These are books with funny, lighthearted plots. They're all caught up, so enjoy them with confidence. I've been reading for years, but lately work has left me with less time, so the list may not get updated very often. Please bear with me.
Personal Reading List
Some books I've read
Hidden Gems for a Light, Fun Read! Why Not Follow? (^▽^)~
I've been reading for over a decade. The first novel I read was probably Journey to the West. I was thrilled back then when I read Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Later, I dug through old books to find wuxia novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Huang Yi, and Wen Rui'an. And even The Legend of the Swordsmen of the Shu Mountains by Huanzhu Louzhu. After that, there was no turning back. I started reading web novels around 2003. I remember starting with Jade Dynasty. A
Recent Favorites: Showbiz, Urban, Period, and Historical Fiction
They're all male-protagonist novels. Most have sound values, likable personalities, plenty of jokes, and none are dumbed-down wish fulfillment. The characters are written with care, the supporting cast is smart too, and the heroines are likable. My second account's list leans more toward historical fiction, with some overlap. It's called A Ten-Year Bookworm's Reading List.

Seeing the latest cover story, to be honest, I almost cried! When Erbao had his surgery and was still recovering, his new book had just been released, and he only had a few long-time readers supporting him. As the book grew, he gained new readers, and some old readers left. But there's still us, the group that has always supported Erbao!

I didn't watch much, only up to the first world. After that, the body was returned to the other person. The guy whose body was stolen actually watched the whole thing, and then had a daughter with another woman using someone else's body. For someone like me with a strong aversion to such things, that's extremely toxic; I dropped it immediately.
Somewhat touching
I must say, reading the first part was quite moving. Because of a crime of hooliganism, a crime falsely accused, in that messed-up era, it could indeed change a person's life. It depicted the protagonist's resistance against slander, and his ordinary yet extraordinary life in the countryside.
You guys can actually watch a green-haired turtle male lead? You're all geniuses!
Many people are talking about NTR (Netorare, a genre of Chinese pornography), but the author is a woman. It's like creating a harem; male readers might not care, but many female readers probably find it extremely toxic. In the end, I didn't read this book; I didn't even want to get it for free, it was just too damn toxic.
In short, the protagonist is just a tool. The protagonist's soul is pulled to another world to work for A. When the protagonist reaches his peak, his soul returns to his original world, and everything in the other world belongs to A, including the protagonist's wife and children.
The male protagonist in this book has a penchant for green hats, and I've heard the author is a woman—it's thought-provoking... My condolences to the author's husband...
It's a great novel. My interpretation is that it involves sleeping with someone else's wife and then running away, which is like me cheating on someone. As for the romance, I skimmed through it, barely paying attention.
I still can't stand novels about being cheated on; I guess I'm no match for the ideas of you experts.
