Novels with No Romance, Smart Characters, and Great Writing
See if there's anything you like!
Historical Romance I’ve Stockpiled
The female lead isn't a pushover, the plot generally holds up to scrutiny, and there are no Athena types or stories where the protagonist is smart and everyone else is an idiot. These are books I think are readable, without making me want to throw my phone in frustration. 23333 When I have time, I'll try out recommended books. If I like them, I'll add them here. If I'm not sure yet, I'll add them with a note and keep them until I decide they don't suit my taste or the list is full. If a book re

Watching the World with a Cool Eye
See all kinds of people and things in the world, along with all sorts of imaginative ideas. My standards for choosing novels are simple: first, the writing has to be decent; second, the story has to be good, not too far-fetched or illogical. I collect lots of spatial and rebirth stories, which are rare in print books. Some are still unread, but they’ll come in handy when I run out of things to read. I drop any book as soon as I find a trashy protagonist. People should have principles, self-respe

Books I'm Addicted to for Some Reason
I glanced at these books in the vast sea of stories, and couldn't stop thinking about them afterward. Books make it onto this list because after finishing them, I show these symptoms: 1. Once I start reading, I don't want to do anything else. 2. Even though I should be asleep, I keep telling myself I'll read just one more chapter, then end up reading until dawn. 3. I want to recommend them to everyone. ✌ Also, everyone's tastes are different. What I think is amazing might seem just okay to you

The Classic Reading Room
Books that have stayed with me after years of reading. If you're running out of things to read, come take a look. I'll keep adding more. As for writing proper descriptions and such, I'm really hopeless at that.
Books on My Shelf That I Think Are Good
Books on my shelf that I think are good. Some are here because I wanted to vote for them but couldn't be bothered to search, so a few are from the main site.
All-Night Bookworm
Good books of every genre, though this list may reflect my personal tastes. Ten books are pinned to my bookshelf. The books on this list may not always be among them, but each one has captured a memorable moment in my thoughts at a particular time and place, or during some sudden inspiration. It feels rather wonderful to let others see what I’m reading.

My Favorites
Romance
The Daoist Lord of Hongchen
The main point: I only thought of making this list so I could recommend The Daoist Lord of Hongchen. That's the important bit, underline it. (The book has been abandoned now. I'm heartbroken (｡•́︿•̀｡)) A little bit of everything. I'll add books I enjoy. 1. The writing is pretty good across the board. No shallow wish-fulfillment novels. 2. No saintly characters, Taiwanese-style dialogue, or harem stories. 3. I have a soft spot for reborn stories, and only recommend romance between a man and a wom
A Hodgepodge of Great Recommendations
Cultivation, strong female leads, farming, palace intrigue, the future, and a bit of everything else. But, but they're all good!
Occasional Recommendations: Proceed at Your Own Risk
Recommendations, try at your own risk. I like stories with smart protagonists and one-on-one romance. I don’t like domineering princes or seductive cult leaders, naive and helpless sweethearts, or Mary Sues who run off while pregnant. A 24-year-old bookworm with eight years of chronic laziness, here to dig holes and never fill them (straight face).
Completed Territories
There are books for both male and female readers. The male-oriented ones aren't harem stories, and the female-oriented ones don't have fake goody-two-shoes heroines. So many lists recommend ongoing series, I just had to share some of the good books I've managed to read from beginning to end. I hope you'll recommend some completed books to me too.
Please Send Some Flowers! 🤗🤗😇😇😇😇
Here are some good books for everyone. I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to tell me about books you like, too, and share what makes you happy.

Although the writing and plot are decent, I still dislike the idea of a concubine who wins the male lead's heart because of her supposed indifference and warmth. After all, the principal wife needs to know the court's affairs, maintain good relationships with other wives, and manage the household's affairs—how much money is in the household, how many shops there are, the children's daily lives…
To ensure the female lead's son ascends to the throne, the other princes are killed off without hesitation. It's one thing for young princes to die young, but to have them die so easily even when they're already adults is another. I skipped through the first 300+ chapters, but I just couldn't continue reading.
... Why did the modern female lead end up with the Fourth Prince? She's not a masochist. It's so confusing! Why did the Fourth Prince end up with the female lead after being rejected by Lady Li? He's not cheap; he didn't pick up what others didn't want. It's just ridiculous.
After finishing this book, I just want to say that the female lead isn't the author's biological daughter, but the Fourth Prince is, and even his reincarnation is to make up for his regret of not taking care of his daughter... And, incidentally, I dislike Gu Min...
That's hilarious! They even care which dynasty the author wants to write about?
If there are problems with the author's plot, it's fine to offer suggestions, but since when did the subject matter have to be controlled? Why not just tell the author to write military-themed stories? Is this some kind of paid troll post?
Is the female lead crazy? The male lead doesn't even love her, yet she insists on getting close to him.
Carbon dioxide poisoning? Are you kidding me because I'm not well-educated?!
The Yongzheng Emperor in this book is portrayed as a fool and a tyrant.
The author's two books follow the same style and approach, and sometimes the writing is quite verbose with a loose plot. I skipped through them, and by the time I reached the ending, it was just so-so. If you're looking for something to read, just read the author's other book, which is several hundred thousand words long; this one isn't necessary.
I dropped it after reading seventy chapters, it was too drawn out... The main problem was that I went to read the ending... They time-traveled and got together, fine... But why did they still have to get entangled with Si Si after returning to the modern world? Was it because he loved Li the most...? Why did he have to torment the female lead...?
