A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)
I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t
Reading Drought Relief Station
[Pinned] My reviews are too vague or focus too much on the early parts of a book, and they’re not very well written! If you’d like me to revise a review, leave a comment. I really will replace or edit it if needed, no empty flattery! I’ve been reading web novels for 16 years, and I’m so tired of mindless garbage. Books that are already popular don’t need me to recommend them. I mostly recommend niche stories, and hope they won’t be overlooked! My main interests are historical and urban fiction,
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.
A Veteran Reader's List
These are books I've read and thought were good enough to recommend. No System stories.
Book Lovers’ Exchange
I'm recommending books I've read and enjoyed. I also hope anyone who finds a good book on this list will share other titles they've read in the comments, especially ones I haven't included. That way, while I help others find something to read, they can help me out of my own reading slump too.
Great Novels
For those who love reading, books are a pleasure. The ideas within their pages are an invisible force that shapes your thoughts and outlook. Spend enough time immersed in books and you’ll become thoughtful and perceptive, with broad knowledge, eloquent speech, and refined character. That’s the mark of a well-read person.
Completed Masterpieces
“Reading enriches life.” Depending on your mood, you can choose articles with different styles. When you’re relaxed, enjoy a few elegant, refined essays or short pieces. When you’re fired up, read some bold and passionate poems. Or, after devouring a stack of Western classics, pick up a collection of Eileen Chang’s novels and savor the bittersweet romance of Love in a Fallen City. You could also find a selection of Yu Guangzhong’s poems to clear your sluggish mind. Even a Poyi pocketbook might s
Li Chou Yao Huang's Reading List
I would risk everything for that bright light. I’d rather be a tiny moth, drawn toward some source of light for the sake of that simple devotion, and find peace in it.
Sharing the Joy Is Better Than Enjoying It Alone
Mountains and rivers are the books of the earth, so please take the time to understand them; books are the mountains and rivers on your desk, so please enjoy them to your heart's content. On World Book Day, may you appreciate more of nature's beauty and enjoy more of the pleasure of reading.
Lighthearted and Funny
Reading merely supplies the mind with material for knowledge; thinking is what makes what we read our own.
Classic Novels in Every Style
Successful scientists are often people with broad interests. Their originality comes from their extensive knowledge.
Late Ming Collection and Great Books Worth Sharing
1. Late Ming stories: solo time travel, group time travel, transmigration of souls, and traveling in one's own body. There are stories about people getting their start in Hainan, Taiwan, the Northeast, Shandong, Shanxi, and even the South Seas, Australia, and the Americas. Feel free to recommend any group time travel stories. 2. Books I'm following
Books Are the Ladder of Human Progress
A good book can have a profound effect on a person's character. As children, we read for fun, much like looking at picture books, but gradually that becomes a quest for knowledge. As we grow up, our thirst for knowledge grows too, and we come to understand what a good book really means: it can bring calm when you're lost and happiness when you're sad.
Reading Is a Habit
Reading has become a habit of life, bringing my soul many joyful stirrings and opening a window onto happiness. Books have also become the love of my life. As I read, pale moonlight slants in through the window, setting the days free and clearing my soul.
Novels I Think Are Pretty Good
If you don't like it, don't flame me.
HJ's Reading List
I've been reading for years, and my standards keep getting higher. I can barely get through amateurish books anymore. These are the books I can still enjoy.
History, Realism, Plausibility, and Great Writing
I’m picky about quality and mainly read historical and realistic fiction. There are too few great works, so recommendations are welcome.
My Reading List
Some great reads from a nine-year veteran reader
Fast-Paced, No Torturing the Protagonist, Just a Fun, Easy Read
Feel-good reads! Please recommend some good farming novels. Ranches and farms don't count... No books from the bestseller lists! No old books! Thanks to the few readers who sent flowers. What a lovely surprise! 😁
These Books Keep Me Going Through Reading Slumps...
A lot of readers are running out of books, so here are some recommendations. If you haven't read any of these, give them a try. If an author has a good new book, I'll recommend that too.
Tested and Safe
Urban fiction, being reborn, entrepreneurship, and business
Some Great Books I Personally Enjoy. Follow If You Like Them, and Leave a Flower 🌼
Mainly historical novels, along with some interesting books and classics
Historical Masterpieces
I started reading web novels with *Qie Ming*. Later I read works by Chi Hu and Te Bie Bai, though the latter's stories dragged on too much. Then I came across Ke Shan Meng's *Wan Ming* and Lao Bai Niu's *Xiao Bing*. I just couldn't get through *Xu Nan Ming*, and after that I ran out of things to read. This list is limited to excellent historical novels that are still being serialized. Whether they're good is a matter of personal taste, of course. At least I can keep reading these, and the writin

In order to read this book, I opened the long-lost Europa Universalis 4, and the date jumped to 1640 on the map.
The writing is good, but the results are very poor, but at least I signed a contract and was recommended in Longkong.
I have read this novel for the fourth time. Will the author publish a new book?
The author's next book (if there is one) should concentrate on writing about sailing... I feel that the sailing experience at the beginning is the best part of the book
The military expenditure of the Ming and Qing Dynasties literally looks huge. Logically, it is impossible to support so many soldiers. The solution is simple, eat empty pay and arrears. If you eat empty pay, you can raise more elite soldiers. If you implement arrears of pay, you can raise more soldiers. If you owe three months of military pay, if you die in a battle, you will not have to pay it. Now you use one month of military pay to recruit new soldiers, saving two months of military pay.
The book is very interesting and full of useful information! But it must be very hard for the author to write like this, right? The style may not be accepted by impetuous book friends, but I really hope my results will be better! I hope the author will stick to it!
It's really good-looking and full of useful information. The real historical figures and data authors have given their sources
I strongly look forward to the author's new book!
There are too few such realistic time traveler guides that focus on research and research. I look forward to a new book!
Is there a dragon?
Coming from, Steel Gunpowder and Spellcaster. How about this one?
This book is a great book on the routes from the Caribbean to the South Pacific! It feels like you are in the age of navigation in the 17th century, which is even more charming, and the scenery and people in various places are vividly described. It's a pity that it didn't look good after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The technology tree is also worthy of scrutiny
