A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

A Veteran Reader of Ten Years: Must-Reads to Beat a Reading Slump, Even If It Means Staying Up All Night
I've been reading for over a decade, and this list reflects my personal taste. I'm not into womanizing protagonists or harem novels. I prefer stories with sound values, and I read a bit of everything, both for men and women. I only recommend what I think is worth reading. I won't recommend the big-name books on the rankings. I'll stick to less popular ones, and I only recommend books good enough to keep me up at night reading.
Top-Quality Reading List
There are all kinds of genres here. If you find any good ones, please recommend them.
Books I'm Following
Books I think are free of major flaws. No mindless wish-fulfillment novels.
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...
The Great Stories I Followed Back Then
An ordinary reader's ordinary books. I've followed most of these for a while, so you could say this is an unconventional bookshelf of mine (๑><๑)
Unconventional Reading Tastes
Lately, I’ve been more into urban and historical novels. Fantasy and cultivation novels just don’t feel the same as they used to, and Western fantasy has never really appealed to me. I feel like I’m drifting further and further from the mainstream. I like entertainment-industry stories, reborn urban novels, historical fiction, and stories with infinite-flow or System elements. Feel free to take a look.

Memorable Good Reads
I'm in my thirties now, and I've grown too. Books I enjoyed in the past might not appeal to me now, but they're still part of my journey. Here are my recommendations.
A Little Shy
Keeping track of the books I often read: completed and ongoing, finished and unfinished.
A Little Kaleidoscope
There are so many genres and so many books I like. I think every book has something really special about it, so that's how I came up with this list's name.
My Bookshelf
These are the books Sleepyhead likes best.
Oroluo's World
Oh la la, oh ro ro, come along with my little book list and let's go to the market...... Old books and new books: most of them are books I've read and enjoyed, while a few were recommended by friends. Yep, that's about it. Oh, and by the way, my surname isn't Luo, and it isn't Oh, either. Haha. As for why I have a name like this, take a guess! Thanks for following!
No Shallow Novels or Mindless Stories
No amateurish stories or mindless fiction. I've already put these books to the test.
Qinghe Hall
I mostly recommend promising new novels, though I update now and then. Thirteen years as a bookworm, so quality is guaranteed.

Today is my birthday, and my birthday wish is for more chapters of the "Elements" series. Please give it a thumbs up if you support this! 😁😁😁
How many brothers are still waiting for this book? Sign in!
The author's frequent hiatuses have contributed to the book's current success, which is quite impressive. If the author had written a typical, pretentious, face-slapping story, it probably would have been abandoned long ago. If the author had consistently updated from the beginning, the book's success would have been even greater. Personally, I quite enjoy reading it.
Keep up the good work, author!
Although many people in the comments section said things like "this is how reality is," and that's what makes it authentic, in that chapter 100-something section, if someone offered me 30-40 million to act as a scapegoat, I'd slap them across the face. That's 30-40 million, used to settle a favor?
I read the part about being forced to take over the Demon God's Tribulation overnight, and it was so addictive! Author, you're really something. After reading these shows for sixteen years, I'm still addicted. I admire you! It would have been fine if it had been a bit bland and there weren't any exciting moments, but why do you keep adding more and more addictive elements?
Cameron and Nolan are collaborating on a new war epic! They've already hired Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Damon, Will Smith, and others for a "military training" session, and after that, only one will remain while the rest are dismissed. Pretty impressive, right?
It feels like the main character is being exploited from beginning to end. Apart from a bunch of variety shows, none of the movies or TV series the main character filmed were brought in by the company or agent. He basically has no way to use the company's resources.
After the book entered the sales phase, the premise and logic completely collapsed, or perhaps the author knew nothing about this industry. Of course, it's also possible that the author is from a humble background and lacks any professional expertise, so they don't know what success looks like.
The protagonist is such a jerk. He gets slapped in the face and then says it's a good thing, offering his face up to be slapped again. What if someone offered to sleep with your wife? Would you let them?
