My Personal Reading List
Recently updated again, and I'm hunting for new books.
A Collection of Good Books
A big batch of great reads! Here are some good books across all sorts of genres for everyone. I’ve personally tried them all, so you can read with confidence. Of course, if the genres or styles I recommend aren’t for you, just skip them. No need to complain. That’s all.
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.
Xianxia Novels
Novels with at least 500 completed chapters that are either still ongoing or finished
Unearthed Treasures from the Sea of Books: Underrated Novels, Part 1
I've been reading since 2004, and years of experience have shaped my tastes. I lean toward science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. In general, I look for books that are interesting, well-written, or just plain fun. These recommendations are for when you're out of things to read. They're enjoyable, but not flawless. Sometimes I forget to keep following a book, but you don't have to read every story to the end. Besides, even good books often go downhill at the finish. Lately, digging for
Time Travel, Fake Invincibility, Feel-Good Stories, Light and Fun, Mid-Level Protagonists
I'm somewhere between a newbie and a veteran reader. I like lighthearted, fun novels, and protagonists who put themselves first and are a little selfish. I can't stand saintly do-gooders or cold-blooded, utterly inhuman protagonists.
Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too. It deals with
Recommendations for Readers Who Want Something Smarter, From a 12-Year Veteran
History makes the struggle for supremacy inevitable, but there are no overpowered heroes, and the opponents aren't idiots
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.
Promising New Reads I'm Letting Build Up, and Possible Hidden Gems That Haven't Been Abandoned
Promising new authors, though some may drop their novels
Dark and Evil, Overwhelmingly Invincible, Indulging the Evil Within: As Long as It's Satisfying
Anything goes, from twisted values to an invincible protagonist crushing everything. The world is dark, and human nature is ugly. Heh heh heh, come embrace the darkness completely!
Books I've Always Loved
Books are time machines that take us back to the ancient past. Even if we can’t live in those times, studying history lets us understand them inside and out. Books are also tunnels that lead us into the future. Through scientific research, we can glimpse what lies ahead, to a certain extent. That’s the power of reading!
Classics to Remember
Under the influence of reading good books every day, all kinds of foolishness seem to melt away, as if they were being roasted over a fire.
What I Read and Love
Fantasy, history, and urban fiction
Personal Favorites
My personal collection. No beginner-level stuff.
Dark Fantasy, Wizards, Transmigration, and Rebirth: Books I Can Get Into
Dark fantasy, wizard stories, and transmigration stories. These are books I can enjoy and keep reading. Follow if you like them. Mwah!
A Decade-Long Bookworm's Mixed Bag
This list specializes in “shrimp recommendations.” My tastes are broad, but I mainly recommend anime and manga fan fiction. The rating scale goes up to five stars. Follow the list if you like it, and you'll see updates as soon as they're posted. I only recommend books I think are worth reading. I'm back again. I was in a reading slump and couldn't find any novels I liked, so I had nothing to recommend.
A List of Amazing Books
I've personally given every book on this list a try! I've been reading web novels for years and am a true veteran. I recommend Wulin Banxia Zhuan by Wenchao Gong and Wangu Xianqiong by Guan Qi.

Alas, Brother Shui Dumpling was also a decent person during his lifetime. Let's burn incense before leaving 😏😏😏
Shangxianglou 🙂 Please keep quiet. The author was also a respectable person before entering the palace, and he placed incense sticks before leaving. 🙂🙂
How about adding two monthly passes at the same time?
The author, the college entrance examination is about to take place in 13 days. I would like to offer you 500 sesame oil money. I hope that when the time comes, the author will possess you and help me get good grades in the exam. Oh, the most important thing is that I have finished the college entrance examination and hope to see more updates from the author. Bless the author ✌
The most irritating thing is that the starting results of each book are pretty good, but they enter the palace inexplicably 🥱🥱🥱
I don't know when the current immortality novels started. Only those who kill people and are selfish can become immortals. This is not how cruelty is shown in cultivating immortals. Mutual benefit, win-win cooperation, this optimal solution model is rarely found in the fairy novels I have read. Killing people - grabbing treasures - practicing - upgrading - killing people - grabbing treasures - practicing - upgrading..., Killing from the beginning to the end, and finally becoming a god. It's simple, crude and superficial. There are many ways to cultivate immortality. Why do many authors like to use this mode to make the protagonist become a god? It may be fun when you first read it, but you will get tired of it after reading too much.
I came back to read it for the last time. I really like this book. What a pity after waiting for six years🙄
What a pity, Miss Qiong Ju has such a good character. Not only the heroine, but also the eunuch, so angry
I read the novel more than two years ago. It was still being serialized at the time. I originally wanted to save up some of it, but it didn't take long before I entered the palace directly 🙂. Then I heard that the author of this book is a famous eunuch master who has countless vests and countless eunuchs.
It's a pity that the story of Yu Dao and Jiang Qiongju is no longer narrated. It's a pity that Miaomiao and Bai Shu haven't gotten the answer yet. It's a pity that this Liaozhai Jianghu can no longer be experienced...
