Stories I Love With Vast Worlds ♥ (For Both Female and Male Readers)
🌸 I love stories with wide-open horizons, whether that means characters with broad minds or vast, majestic worlds. 🌸 They always have a distinct sense of freedom, making me feel the future holds endless possibilities instead of being trapped in some secluded courtyard. 🌸 Early on, I was especially fond of stories with heroines who were breathtakingly beautiful, fabulously wealthy, and unbeatable in battle. 🌸 I used to think martial arts meant freedom: you could do whatever you wanted and see wha
Duo Duo's All-Around Reading List
I like stories with sensible values, creativity, or good writing. In short, they need to have something that keeps me motivated to read on. Everyone's welcome to exchange reading lists with me. I have eclectic tastes and don't distinguish between male- and female-oriented fiction. If I enjoy reading it, I'll make a note of it! Come share your favorite stories!
Well-Written and Thought-Provoking, the Kind You Can Get Into
No idiots, pocket dimensions, or golden fingers! (I recommend only one book by each author. If you like it, search for their other works yourself.)

A Heartfelt Reading List: Eclectic, Mostly Niche, Updated Whenever I Feel Like It
No famous authors, no smut, and no anime-inspired stuff either! I'm open to anything in the female-oriented category, as long as it isn't a toxic one-woman-many-men romance. The male-oriented picks are mostly niche. Well, maybe a big, popular franchise will sneak in too.

Stories I'd Love to See Adapted into Comics Someday
When I was a student, I read a great many Japanese manga. The various unusual art styles and enormous flights of imagination were endlessly enviable. The greater collaboration between artists and screenwriters, along with all kinds of merchandise, continues to attract us to buy them. In fact, we have abundant imagination of our own, so why not turn our works into manga? Rather than complaining about all the unbearable television dramas, we might as well look forward to future manga masters creat

I've been having a reading slump lately, and a friend recommended this book. I patiently skipped through some chapters, but I still couldn't get into it. There's just too much internal monologue, the maid's thoughts, and all sorts of other people's ideas. The plot barely develops, and it's all about the female lead's parents—the author mentions it in every single chapter.
I think I'm better suited to watching American TV series... I just don't get it? The plot feels like boiled cabbage—it tastes good, but it's bland. People who don't like it will find it really watery. But I know the author is very skilled. However, I'm an impatient person.
Since the novel became free for a limited time, the comments section has been flooded with complaints that the story is too bland and the female lead is too useless and lacks any highlights. Honestly, as a long-time bookworm, I've read countless novels of all genres, and I'm sure there are countless stories about transmigrated women with all sorts of cheat codes, intellectually crushing the…
The most painful thing about this book is that, apart from the main characters' family, everyone else seems to be nameless. They're all addressed as "Sixth Miss Su," "Second Miss Su," "Miss Lin," "Wife of xxx," "Old Madam Su," "Old Master Su," etc. It's always the same way. It's really hard to read.
The more I read this book, the more I gradually let go of some things, and I felt less sad. Thank you, Linglong.
It's all about the old lady of the Su family and the old master of the Su family 😫. Can you please remove the words "Su family"? It's making my eyes and head dizzy.
I really enjoy reading this quietly and gently; I don't want to give up. I love how the author makes me feel this way.
How about changing the style for the next book? The gentle, flowing style is very comfortable to read. It's like a traditional Chinese ink painting, subtle and gradually building to its best. However, the author has written several books in this style. A slight change would be nice. I wonder if it will still be a historical romance? Historical romance is good, and fantasy is also nice.
It seems like every chapter revolves around the female protagonist's parents, like reading a self-help book. The female protagonist never seems to possess any wisdom.
I skimmed through this book, either because I was desperate for something to read or because it was free. It was just too padded with words and didn't really feel right.
