The All-Purpose Manor

Underrated Xianxia Gems

Personally enjoyed works by authors who aren’t big names. Mostly niche fantasy and clever, strategy-focused stories, without too much combat-and-leveling power fantasy.

Mr. R's Wonderful Book List

Where can I find a good book? I started reading in high school, and it’s been many years now. I wouldn’t claim to have read everything under the sun, but I’ve read plenty. I’m putting together a list mostly for my own amusement, and to find some good books. My reading slump has been getting worse lately, and the quality of books is all over the place. I hope to recommend the ones I think are worth reading! Most are promising new books, but I’m happy to include good completed novels too. Updated

Books I Think Are Good

I strongly recommend not reading the comments, because many people are biased. The only way to know whether a book is any good or right for you is to click in and read it yourself. If you give up because of a few haters, you'll really have nothing left to read. Novels should be a relaxing, enjoyable read. Why do so many people complain that an author is padding things out? If you only want the main points, just ask the author to write you a synopsis.

A Wildly Eclectic Taste

Here are some books I've read, or at least started. My taste really is weird, varied, and hard to describe. If your tastes are just as unusual, why not give my recommendations a try? I really don't understand novels that require 200 fan points before you can comment. Not being able to comment for a hundred chapters makes for a terrible reading experience. I can't bring myself to pay 200 just to chat without even trying the book first. Seriously, if you don't pay for VIP, you can't chat in VIP c

(Please follow! Thank you.) Whether it's xianxia, urban fiction, or supernatural stories, I'll give it a try if it's well written...

Books I'd Read Again

I've been following online novels since 1999. I read all kinds of books for both male and female audiences, and there are too many great ones to list all at once. I'm lazy, so when I like an author, I keep following their work. I've followed many authors for years, so rather than list everything they've written, I'll pick one or two favorites to represent each. I only include books worth rereading; no fleeting action-packed reads that don't hold up over time. I'm no good at writing reviews, so I

Mind-Blowing Power Fantasies and Light Novels I’ve Read

I think these are pretty good, and they all have some wonderfully wild ideas. If you're interested, why not add them to your favorites first?

Paw Prints

Leaving a paw print to remember the good books P.S. Not being able to pin a recommended book is so dumb. I really want to pin my Emperor's book.

A Veteran Reader's Personal Favorites, No Hate Please ♥♛ A Mixed Bag

I tend to prefer stories without romance and stories about animals. I'm not good at expressing myself, so I'll skip the fancy talk.

So Addictive, I Can't Stop Reading

Reading too many books by those so-called big-name authors gets tiresome. Why not try some of these new ones? There aren’t many fantasy novels here, and most aren’t about cultivation, so they’re a welcome escape from the fantasy grind. If you’re tired of fantasy, give these satisfying reads a try.
