Just collecting books in genres that interest me.
Heroines Who Conquered the World in Those Years
Empress novels have surged in popularity this year, and many have been excellent. It’s a shame there are so few of them. Most of the rest are strong female lead stories I enjoy. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had time to write up introductions for some of the books I’ve added. I’ll fill them in when I can. I’ll try to organize the list every year, and move completed books off it later. Hehe 😁 I changed the list’s name. Gotta keep up with the times 😬
Books I’d Want to Keep Following
Over the years, there have been books I might read from beginning to end, or scenes, or moments, or characters, or ideas, or even the mood I was in while reading, that always come back to mind.

A Little Book Nook You Can Read Again and Again
There's everything from ancient and modern to primitive and futuristic, and every book has its own unique appeal. My tastes change at different times, so the recommendations are a pretty eclectic mix. There are books for both male and female readers, and even when they're similar in genre, they appeal to me for different reasons. When I find a book I like, I also check out the author's other works. I only recommend books I've read myself. I don't want to just repeat what everyone else says. Foll

Let's Enjoy Some Good Books Together
Primarily period novels, especially those involving transmigrate protagonists, reborn protagonists, or pocket dimensions, with other good books as secondary picks.
A-Miao's Picks
👉 It's hard to find a novel that suits your taste and gets your blood pumping with excitement. It's hard to follow a story that updates on time every day, too. But the hardest thing of all is to read a novel from beginning to end, carefully weighing every twist in the plot. How many readers go from excitement at the start to indifference, and then to outright apathy? 🤓🤓🤓 From golden fingers and protagonists turning their lives around to male and female leads ruling the world, the story unfolds s
Top Picks for All Readers
Great completed novels I’ve read. Most of the protagonists are independent and self-reliant. This list will be updated regularly.
Books I've Followed
Every one of these is a paid subscription. More than money, what you invest is the time and anticipation spent waiting for each new chapter.
Fierce, Fabulous Female Leads
Go ahead and take a look. These are all solid picks. I've read every book on this list. I may have dropped a few later on, but if they're here, I think they have something worthwhile to offer. Hope this helps anyone looking for something to read. I don't add books I haven't read, no matter how highly they're ranked or how popular they are. This is just a list of my personal favorites.

The author is probably really rich. In reality, the author probably buys things like vegetables for 10,000 yuan per catty. The prices in the article are very generous. In this article, there are transactions of 10,000 taels of silver at every turn. A pink pearl costs 10,000 taels of silver, and a black pearl costs 50,000 taels of silver. You can spend 10,000 taels of silver on any purchase. You can buy a girl with skill points for 10,000 taels of silver, and your subordinate secretly sells an idea of artificially cultivating pearls for 10,000 taels of silver. I would like to ask, in the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, the annual court income was only more than one million taels, so the annual tax income of the dynasty in the book was calculated as hundreds of billions. Otherwise, the emperor might as well just cultivate pearls directly, which would make more money than collecting farmers' land taxes.
I would like to make a suggestion, some people who read romance novels do not read BL. Can the author reduce the number of men and women in the article?
Build a building for Da Da, 10 coins for the first floor, 50,000 coins for the top ~ one thousand floors for one
PS: Please add more updates, there are not enough things to see 😭🌹
The plot is quite good! The author has a misunderstanding about the conversion of silver value! Ding Erpang wants to buy the heroine's drawing for 100 taels of silver! The heroine was dismissive and remembered that her works in her previous life were all worth five figures! Doesn't the author know that your so-called five-digit number is about 16 taels of silver in terms of food purchasing power? This is like a person praising the jewelry box but disdainful of the jewelry. What's even more serious is that when the heroine sold the faceted gemstone to Old Bill for 1 million taels of silver, she still looked disapproving and remembered that the money she handled in her previous life was "more than tens of millions." Haha, the author's so-called "more than ten million" is just a drop in the bucket compared with this one million taels of silver! One million taels of silver is converted into food purchasing power, which is about 600 to 700 million! In the face of such a huge sum of money, is "more than tens of millions" worth being complacent?
The main plot is very interesting, but the villains are too inexplicable... Let's talk about the princess. If you look at it in today's context, a second-generation X-generation Bai Fumei, with an amazingly powerful father, and a rich and handsome husband who loves her deeply, will deliberately try to destroy a little girl because she is too powerful, famous, and prosperous, and her business is too big, almost to the point of death? How free is this? How about some actual conflicts of interest_(:з∠)_
The fights between the characters are very well written. But the pre-marital behavior of the heroine and the hero is too unreserved. This cannot be applied to the habits and thinking of modern people. After all, in the ancient social environment, a woman who was not reserved before marriage meant frivolity! The male protagonist cuddling, hugging and kissing the female protagonist means extreme disrespect! The author also wrote that the affair between Ouyang Min, Mingyu and Yuan Muqing is disgusting! Why should the heroine be made to be as unruly as them? There is also a scene where the heroine is kidnapped by Japanese people, which is also quite sad! Strictly speaking, the heroine must have lost her virginity, and it would be strange to be kidnapped by the Japanese and return home intact! Either the author didn't write about the heroine being kidnapped, or she couldn't keep her beauty intact after being kidnapped!
I came from "Craftsmanship" and I really like the craftsmanship, but I read the comments before following this article. As for the money thing, some people said it doesn't matter. I think authors who want Xie Guyan to become a god or a great god should be more rigorous, but I feel that the author and some of her fans don't think so. However, some fans think it is picky in every possible way, and they disagree with this attitude. Maybe the content in the book cannot be changed, but the attitude should be correct. This also made me lose interest in this book. To put it bluntly, those authors who are not rigorous in writing ancient poems should write fantasy. In addition, if there is too much bl content, please mark it. I think there must be many people who don't want to spend money to see this content.
From the beginning to the end, he looked down on Yue Xiangning. He was dragging his feet emotionally and was a drag on his children in life. Also, since he had cut off his relationship before getting married, how could he have any trouble with Mei Chenxue?
After reading the comments, I concluded two points. The story itself is very good and has highlights. However, the author has misunderstandings about the positioning of commodity prices and silver in ancient times, which can easily cause confusion. So I decided to read it when I was short of books.
Mingzhu's disgust with the prince is justified. Nima and the princess have a wife and children who are close friends and still have a crush on his father. It's very disgusting.
