A Reading List for Clear-Headed Readers

Dark stories have all but disappeared from Qidian, so these days I only recommend rational, level-headed stories.

Dragons and Warriors, Swords and Legends

A wondrous civilization of magic, a world of extraordinary wizards. We call it fantasy... There are many reasons to love fantasy so deeply. Perhaps it's the mystery and unpredictability, or perhaps it's the other moving stories hidden within its understated prose. [Main list: obsessed with promising new novels. Game fiction list: restoring the glory of gaming, youth never fades, and we'll never part.] Recommendations are welcome. Just so you know, this list is for fantasy novels.

Ruthless and Decisive, Free to Do as I Please, Living for Myself: Whatever Feels Good

Decisive and rational protagonists. Fewer clichés, and no bleeding-heart do-gooders.

Books I Still Remember From the Past Few Years

This list is mainly for my own convenience, but I think a good book is one that leaves you with some impression of its characters or plot, whether or not you finish it. Good books like that tend to rely less on clichés and have strong plots!

Creative Whims

A collection of top-notch fantasy novels, carefully recommended by a seasoned reader. Whether they're classics from years past or wildly imaginative, unconventional stories with original ideas, I'll seek them out and read them. Good books are plentiful, but readers who can recognize them are rare. In this information age, even a fine wine can be lost in a deep alley, so we shouldn't let excellent novels go undiscovered. Share these books with more people so everyone can enjoy the pleasure of rea

Plot-Driven Stories (Not Beginner-Level): Fantasy Picks ③

The male and female leads shouldn’t be complete idiots; they need to be reasonably smart. The plot shouldn’t be so predictable that you know the ending from the start, and should have occasional surprises. The writing shouldn’t read like a high school exam full of parallel phrases, nor should it be all reckless power-ups. It should have some substance. There are both old and new books here. The old ones are books I’ve personally read at least twice. New ones are generally at least 400,000 charac

Books I've Read

Books That Are All Old Classics

Not every book on this list is widely known, but they’re all quite readable. I added many of them years ago, so they may be finished by now, but they’re worth revisiting. Hahahahaha.

I Want Flowers, Flowers, Flowers (Updated Once a Year; Good Books Get Buried, So Scroll Down)

◎ This list values quality over quantity. There aren't many books, but if you scroll to the bottom, you'll find a treasure. ◎ I. Mostly rational stories. Some lean dark, but the characters are intelligent and don't get an unreasonable protagonist's halo. The plots are logical, rely on few cliches, and the protagonists have minds of their own rather than acting solely to serve the plot. The authors are skilled writers. II. Most recommendations are undiscovered works with potential. I don't recomm

Satisfying War God Returns Novels

My power-trip reading list

Sensible Villains, Calm and Rational Protagonists

This list has been around for years, so it’s only natural that a few books don’t fit the title. Some may have been abandoned by their authors or taken down, too. I’m keeping them here as mementos.

Rational, Simple, and Running Out of Books to Read

The protagonists are generally pretty levelheaded.

Whatever Strikes My Fancy

No bleeding-heart protagonists, and either no female lead or just one. Above all, I want dark stories. Really, whether it's a dark story or one with a bleeding-heart protagonist, what matters most is smart characters, polished writing, and a smooth read. That's all you need. I mostly read dark stories because they're satisfying, but I don't like mindless plots or characters suddenly getting stupid.

A Storehouse of Reading by Nameless Me, With Respect

My tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books I enjoy to fellow readers Mainly fantasy and cultivation, entertainment-industry and otaku stories, and funny urban fiction 🔥 ✔ Smart supporting characters ✔ Male leads who aren't self-sacrificing saints Recommending good books, mostly hidden gems If a book isn't on Qidian, I'll post it in the comments. Just click ☞ “View only the list owner's comments” I recommend ongoing series, not completed ones. Abandoned books are removed regularly Lighthearte

Ten Years of Reading: Books to Remember and Ones I'm Following

Somehow, I've been reading for ten years already. I've read far too many urban, fantasy, cultivation, infinite-world, primordial, gaming, transmigration, reborn, romance, otherworldly, and flirtatious stories. I've gone from a newbie to a seasoned reader, from hot-blooded tales to cerebral ones, from wish-fulfillment stories to books that put the protagonist through the wringer. After reading so much, there are always certain books and scenes you want to remember forever. I made this list for my
