This Book List Has a Lovely Name
This is a reading list. It's got some books in it. What kind of books, you ask? I have no idea either (ノД`), haha 😜. Anyway, there are all sorts of genres. I'm sharing the books I've enjoyed with everyone. Feel free to recommend novels in the comments, whether you wrote them yourself or just think they're good. All recommendations are welcome (。・ω・。)ノ♡. I don't usually enjoy romance novels, so please try not to recommend them. But if you really think one is great, feel free to suggest it 😊. Feel
I'm a Veteran Reader Who Cares Only About Writing and Plot
Do even the great authors sometimes fail to suit your taste? Are you overwhelmed by novels from every school of thought? Are there so many copycats that most feel unoriginal? Are you numb to the same old formulas and beginner-level writing, as if they were insulting your intelligence? This list is dedicated to novels with both excellent writing and compelling plots.
Books I Enjoy (⊙O⊙)
Most of these feature strong female leads, and there are some quick transmigration stories too.
Books to Save for Later
I haven't read these yet. I'll wait until they build up a backlog before starting. If they're already complete, I'll get to them when I have time.
Books I Really Love
Every book here has moved me in some way, and I've read each one carefully. My tastes aren't limited to one genre, so please recommend good books to me too. I read pretty much everything, from fantasy, cultivation, and urban stories to historical and modern romance, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction. The only exception is supernatural horror.

Everyone says the male lead is a jerk, but I think that's normal. No one loves someone for no reason, especially in ancient times.
The empress next door conquers the world with a team, while the heroine here endures hardship and plots her revenge. This feeling of lying around waiting to be fed... Oh no, I mean turning the tables and launching a counterattack is really great. I feel like such an inspiring kid.
The story is good, but the writing is a bit immature. I hope it can be improved later on. Keep it up! (ง•̀_•́)ง
Did you go play King of Glory again?
The female lead's character is poorly written; it's utterly baffling. First of all, the premise shouldn't be a time-travel story. Natives have a deeper connection to their parents and country and are more likely to do more. Secondly, what I initially thought was a power struggle story turns into a tale of a woman developing feelings for a man and having a son with him.
This is a complete abandonment. The author is so irresponsible. After following them for so long, not only do they keep stopping updates, but they also abruptly end the story.
Ha! The heart of an emperor is the most ruthless. The empress, who was once the best in his eyes, is now someone he wants to poison. He's even found a successor for her.
The beginning of this story was quite good, but towards the end, I felt the author's writing style needed improvement. Some parts lacked logical flow, let me point out 😄 First, the plot was rather bland, lacking major conflicts. After reading it, it felt somewhat like a palace intrigue drama, though without the detailed descriptions.
Oh my god
Is this how murder happens in the imperial harem? So what if she's a princess? What would you do if your sister killed your wife? Maybe we should find a different male lead?
It was indeed hasty, but as the author said, let the fantasy remain on paper. Actually, the female lead should have been killed off; she truly gave her life for Gu Heng. She left behind the tragic loss of their son to the King and Queen of Xijing, a wise and intelligent son, and Gu Heng's covetousness, yet she hesitated to act due to guilt, and so on.
