Classics Recommended by a Veteran Reader
Classics I've read from the time I first discovered Qidian right up to today.
My Book Nook
Books I’m following now. I’ll add more over time.
[New Reader's List] Great Books I've Read
Good books I’ve read, or novels I’m currently following. Mostly urban entertainment fiction with an anime-inspired slant.
Just for the Fun of Reading
Only the good stuff.
Traces of Me
Leave the city's hustle and bustle behind and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life
Some Book Recommendations for Everyone
I guess you could call me a veteran reader. I started with my first book, Zhu Xian, back in 2008. It's been about 11 years now. These are the books I'm reading and recommending at the moment. Different strokes for different folks. Usually no harem stories. The characters are probably smart? They're probably pretty good overall.
The Days We Chased Updates Together
A mixed bag of books I personally enjoy. None are masterpieces, just solid reads, though two are gems.
Bookworm Recommends Reads for a Book Drought
A collection of books about urban life, technology, world-hopping, rebirth, and more

Crystal Harem! Transmigration! Trading! Planes! Alternate Worlds! Cutting-Edge Tech! Gaming!
Books I've read that are worth checking out
Taoshu Pavilion
🌟I've been reading for nine years, and I've started getting picky. I often run out of things to read, so I have to browse Qidian for something new. These are books I'm currently reading, most of them with no female lead or just one. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 means top pick. 🌸 means half a star.
A Head Full of Poetry and Learning Shines from Within!
Reading is a way to learn and build up knowledge! I only recommend good books. Anything I dropped or that went on hiatus gets a quick pass.
Books I Love
Power fantasies where the protagonist steps on everyone else: boring, but good for killing time.
Chaos Administration Bureau: Dian Niang Branch
Recommended by a six-year veteran reader. I only recommend new creations. Books are added and removed irregularly. Completed or abandoned novels will be removed from the list.
Reading Slump List
A variety of genres
Currently Following
Technology and Science Fiction
Urban science and technology novels that I personally find pretty good.
My Golden House of Books
No beginner-level or steamy books, please. This list is just for the kinds of books I personally enjoy. I’ve been reading for 11 years and have tried every genre out there, so there’s a bit of everything here. Feel free to save the ones you like. (The list owner has a terminal case of laziness, so there won’t be detailed descriptions. Please don’t take it personally.)
Recommended by a Ten-Year Bookworm
Mostly fantasy, with some online-game and urban novels mixed in. Absolutely top-notch!
Books I'm Currently Following
Hmm, how should I put it? I'm following every book here. To each their own, I suppose. Hopefully you'll find one that's right for you.
Urban Sci-Fi About Cutting-Edge Technology
These are all books I've read. If it's called a high-tech story, then it really is one, not a bait-and-switch. If you know any good high-tech novels, let me know. I'm looking for more of this kind too.

Just wondering, isn't the Sahara Desert in North Africa? When did it move to Xinjiang, China? Isn't the Taklamakan Desert the largest desert in Xinjiang?
You can't write about the US, but you can write about China however you want.
Look at American novels, movies, and TV series. The whole thing about China is about backwardness, poverty, and conspiracies. When it comes to the South China Sea, it's all about kidnapping and extortion. And the Chinese characters are mostly Southeast Asian, speaking Mandarin. Sometimes I wonder what kind of nonsense they're spouting. I just want to say, what era are we living in?
I hope the female lead doesn't enter the entertainment industry to help the protagonist start his company. Why does she have to go through with it? I personally find the entertainment industry dirty, and I lose all interest in watching it.
Let me address a point I don't understand: the issue of sole proprietorships. Many novels feature this, where one person owns all the shares, without relinquishing their own. This is fine for small companies, but as the company grows, does it create problems? To put it bluntly, it's like monopolizing the profits, especially when the pie is too big.
I enjoy reading books about urban science and technology.
I'm posting this before even reading it. I like reading this kind of book. As long as the middle part doesn't fall apart, the later part isn't too fantastical, and the ending doesn't fall apart, that's fine. I'm not asking for much, right?
This book felt very familiar to me; it seemed like a disassembled and reassembled version of "The Great Inventor of the City." The protagonist's various inventions were very similar to those of Zhang Wei, the protagonist of "The Great Inventor," and some parts were even identical to the original text...
Honestly, there's no need to write so much about things on Earth. Learn from the big guy next door. He barely touched on politics in the Earth phase. He skipped most of it. If you're going to write about anything, go write about other universes. Otherwise, you're just going to die!
Let's see when the protagonist will be able to create things like causal weapons and dimensional weapons.
That's too fast! The latest chapter describes a company that's only been established for a little over a year, and the person is already the world's richest, and it's all about mind control and anti-gravity. The virtual world is about to see nuclear fusion. Writing it as 10 years would feel more appropriate.
Unmanned warfare often renders soldiers bloodless. The author portrays national leaders too simplistically, only knowing the benefits of unmanned warfare while ignoring the drawbacks. Armies should transition towards semi-unmanned operations, rather than directly arming soldiers with completely unmanned weaponry.
