Just for Fun
I heard it's lame not to make a book list. My tastes are all over the place, and since there's a limit to how many books I can add, I'll gradually remove classic older books to make room for promising new works and ongoing novels. Why can't I get one book approved? I didn't mention an external link even once, did I?
Books I've Read
Books I've read (May every meeting feel like the first)
Books I've Collected and Finished, and That Left an Impression (Mostly Complete)
From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of things have moved me, and all kinds of books have touched my heart. Was it the books that moved me, or did I happen upon them at just the right time? Since starting work, I haven't had much time to read. I pick up books here and there, in little fragments, so the emotions never really build or linger. I've still finished a few, though. I'll make time to catch up on the good ones.
In a Reading Slump? Come In! Hidden Gems! Updated from Time to Time!
I used to be fine with just about any book, but now I'm picky. There aren't many good books, and even fewer suit my taste. All genres welcome! Also recommending a couple: The Tattered Robe and The Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earth Fiend.
Books of All Kinds
These are books I've read. My opinions are extremely subjective and entirely my own. As for my rating system, I won't include anything below three stars. Three to three and a half stars means a solid read with some appeal. Four stars means a gem, recommended. Four and a half stars means top-tier, highly recommended.
Fleeting Life
No female lead or just one. Here are some good books I've read. My tastes are pretty eclectic. Most are light reads, but there are some dark ones too (ฅ>ω<*ฅ) (இωஇ ) I'm out of books to read...
My Personal Stash
Books I particularly enjoy
A Diverse Reading List
Books are dear friends I can’t live without. I wander through their vast ocean and find immense joy, while broadening my knowledge along the way. Books have also helped me out in so many ways in everyday life.
Books I Keep Following
I can’t find anything to read and I’m in a bit of a reading slump, so I’m sharing some books I’m currently following. Usually, I don’t remove books once I’ve added them. Actually, I’m mainly hoping you’ll recommend some books to me (๑• . •๑). I’m bored.
Want to Know What I Like After Ten Years of Reading?
As a longtime reader, I think these books are original, thoughtfully written, and pretty good.
Gudan Pingfan's Reading List
When I emerge from a world of fantasy, I find myself once again facing mountains of books and study guides. I often wonder when I’ll be able to escape this sea of books and give my sluggish brain a moment’s rest.
Feel-Good Stories and Laughs
Reading broadens my horizons, makes it easier for me to deal with problems in daily life, and enriches my free time.
Xiao Ming the Bookworm
Mostly niche novels with fantasy, wuxia, gaming, mystery, and basketball themes
Pretty Good Books
Books let you sing your way through life's journey, past spring blossoms and autumn moons, amid falling petals. They let you roam freely through a boundless ocean. Books kindle hope, so you never lose your way along life's endless road. Like a sail, they carry your little boat to its final destination.
Some Books I'm Reading
I'm not into harem stories. I prefer planes-hopping and cultivation-through-leveling stories, but there's a bit of everything here, including anime, history, xianxia, and the supernatural.
Tales of the Strange: Cultivation Novel Recommendations
Xianxia with strange tales and supernatural happenings, capturing the spirit of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Not your typical cultivation story. Highly recommended.
Novels Beloved by Seasoned Readers
What matters to me is the worldbuilding, the storytelling, and how vividly the characters come to life.
My Book Collection
Some interesting books
Mutou999's Book Pavilion
In games, the goal is a weapon with 999 damage. My goal here is to collect 999 books.
"High IQ" "Sci-Fi" "Mystery" "Logic"
This list features works I personally consider high quality. For now, it leans toward science fiction and mystery, though there are other genres too. Feel free to browse and pick what you like. I'll add books whether they're popular or abandoned, as long as I like them, they're well written, make sense, and do something original. No harems or simplistic wish-fulfillment stories. Finally, fellow fans are welcome to save this list! P.S. 1: I'm in a reading slump lately, ugh! I'll check out any bo
Picked Up Along the Way
Most of the books I recommend are ones I've read. There's probably something here for every kind of reader. This list uses a five-star rating system. I'll rate each book based on how highly I recommend it. ★★★★★ ★★★★☆ ★★★★ ★★★☆ ★★★ ★★☆ ★★ ★☆ ★ I rate books according to my personal taste, not by ranking them. Every book on this list is one I've unearthed from a sea of books.
The Space-Time Library
Some books leave a mark that time can never erase. They linger deep in your memory, keeping you coming back for more. Every word, every sentence can bring back memories of the past. Let's revisit those wonderful books together.
My Journey of Struggle
Industrial development, alternate history, late Qing and early Republican era, corporate espionage
A Classic Must-Read: Strange Resurgence, Mastering the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms from the Start
Feel free to recommend any books you like here. This is an ocean of books and a world of flowers. Tell me what you enjoy, and I'll recommend them one by one!

The author's writing is superb; this book got me completely excited. I've already subscribed, and I hope the author will support my novel, *The World of Chuxiong*. Let's cooperate, develop together, and benefit each other (ꈍᴗꈍ), hahaha... Thank you in advance for your support!
I came here based on a recommendation from Longkong. I've finished reading the sample and am currently following the updates. Hmm, the story is good, but I personally feel there are two shortcomings. 1. The title of the book gives readers the impression that it is a supernatural book. 2. Introduction: The introduction gives readers the impression of a traditional martial arts novel.
Reading the latest chapter was absolutely hilarious! The protagonist was so arrogant that he was worshipped as a god and even called Chang Geng Xing Jun, which is to say, Venus. From now on, let's call the protagonist Venus the Crying Ghost! 😂😂😂😂
The opening was stunning, but then it plummeted. Caiwei's appearance was utterly toxic; her romance came out of nowhere, and her character was completely unlikable. It's basically a manifestation of the author's pretentious, overly sentimental writing style, a serious deduction from the score.
Good news! Good news!
My new book, "The World of Chuxiong," is now available! You'll start with a top-tier flying sword, choose between a pure-hearted male lead and a gentle female lead, and enjoy a captivating storyline. The ending, filled with filial piety, brotherly harmony, and family reunion, is sure to satisfy you. Please support it!
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, magpies arrive and form a bridge for fairies to cross, descend to the mortal world, and enter the lake. Let me give you a piece of advice, handsome cowherd, don't be curious, go home early, your mother is at home, eagerly waiting for you. Before it gets dark, the child returns home.
I've finished reading it. It's written to my liking, but it would be even better if you could pay attention to missing or misspelled words.
Can anyone tell me what this Three Character Classic introduction is all about? It looks like a dark version of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl story. Is this book some kind of dark fantasy novel?
So, the Weaver Girl is actually a spider woman? And that seamless celestial garment was made by spinning silk.
I think Dao Ma and Gui Ku are quite similar.
