For Fellow Readers, and That's All
I've been reading for 10 years, and even wrote a flop of a novel along the way. Life keeps me busy, so I never managed to finish it. Now I read for fun whenever I have some free time. These recommendations are based entirely on my personal taste. I'm in a reading slump lately, so does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks! P.S. I never spoil anything in my recommendations, I just share my impressions. I've been trying too many duds lately. Does anyone have any good books to recommend? P.S. If

Rare Favorites, Mostly Infinite-World Movie and TV Fiction, System Fiction, and the Like
I’m especially fond of System novels, though there are other types as well. I generally never remove books from this list, only add more, unless the writing becomes awful later on. This is also meant as a small favor to newcomers: some books become harder to find the further back you look. These days, it’s hard to find anything truly new in web fiction. First, the writing has to be readable, and second, it has to suit what I’m looking for at this point in my life. The books I enjoy change over t

Xiao Gu’s Secrets for Killing Time
I've been reading for 12 years 😊😊 and just realized I have a pattern... I mainly read historical novels, including history and wuxia. I especially love stories where everything goes to hell from the start. Feel free to recommend books to me... Let's share recommendations! Life is full of routines already, so I hope books won't be full of them too.

Classic Web Novels I've Read Over the Past Decade
What makes a good work: 1. A sensible plot (the protagonist shouldn't keep having last-minute breakthroughs and one lucky encounter after another, while brainless villains line up to get defeated). 2. Vivid, convincing supporting characters (the author is building a world, not writing a one-man show. Supporting characters should feel real and have their own souls). 3. A well-thought-out setting and a compelling story (the fictional world shouldn't have anything obviously implausible, and the sto

Was the beginning of this story meant to be disgusting? The younger brother, raised by his deceased parents, turns on his older brother immediately after learning he's alive and his planned ten acres of land is gone. You think you're being realistic and humane? That's bullshit! If his brother were truly dead, his plans would be understandable, but now he's back with that attitude.
It's a complete failure, like taking your pants off and then nothing happens.
A truly excellent book. It's one of the few historical time-travel novels that doesn't involve actual warfare; it focuses solely on political intrigue.
This novel is too toxic... If I had someone like that around me, I'd definitely be beaten to death. He's practically a seat-hogging man...
I want to send the author a knife! How could such a good book end so abruptly? I think the protagonist's character is okay; he has the proper attitude for navigating the officialdom. It's a pity… I subscribed to the whole thing; it's truly excellent.
How could such an old author write such a low-quality book?
After reading a few chapters, I realized why this author likes to abandon projects. How good can a book that's anti-social and immoral be? It only appeals to a small niche audience, and fewer readers mean fewer subscriptions. Fewer subscriptions mean less motivation to write, and without motivation, the project is inevitably abandoned.
After reading a few chapters, I found many flaws. As a transmigrator, you can't even tell your closest relatives about secrets, yet you can brazenly shout them out in the streets!
Wow, that's amazing, I just got the hang of it.
Wow, just when I thought the book was reaching its climax, it ended! The author is truly amazing.
Previously, the bar exam results took more than a month to come out; now, the computer exam results are in three days. Aren't you nervous? It's still one in ten.
