Favorites: Feel-Good, Relaxed, Low-Stakes Reads Without Harem or Angst
Just like the list's name says, life is too busy, so here's a chance to unwind.
The Reasonable Reader (Infinite Worlds / Crossover Anime / Alternate Dimensions / Fan Fiction / Anime)
The protagonist must be smart and absolutely not a bleeding heart. No female lead is a bonus. (This list is full, so I can't add any more books. Some issues came up midway through, and I neglected it for several years, so I've started a new list.)
Books That Touch the Divine
How much history lies buried beneath the yellow sands? How many truths have been deliberately fabricated? And how many potentially legendary books remain unknown? Who knows when we became so restless, or when we grew numb. Nor do we know when we'll be swallowed up by the endless crush of worldly life. This is simply a collection of the books I consider great. I hope they'll awaken your fondest memories of discovering web novels for the first time! And yes, feel free to recommend books. I'll pick

Rational, Ruthless, Satisfying, Leisurely Farming
I only recommend good books, and I've read every one myself, so updates will be slow. No ads, please. So many great works have been censored, and it breaks my heart.

Infinite-world stories, myriad-worlds stories...
Unconventional Transmigration and System Stories 🐥 Hard to Tell the Highlights from the Heartbreaks~
No typical tropes! (If we have to use one, it should be like Mr. Gintoki's...) No need for wish fulfillment, but the characters should be smart! (A little wish fulfillment is fine, too.) A little angst is good for the soul! (Mine, that is, not romance.) If you think any of the works below don't fit the title or description, feel free to leave a comment. (I promise I won't take your opinion into account.) Under construction⚒ Updating Please shower me with follows and likes~~ Thanks for all the
Veteran Reader
Infinite-flow, urban rebirth, entertainment, fantasy, and similar novels I've read, mostly over a million words long. I remove older works and recommend new ones every month. Hope this helps anyone who's run out of books to read.
Just Getting By
These are all novels I've read and thought were pretty good.

Cloud seas and floating mountains draw near the vast sky; autumn waters offer no sure footing as I read the meaning of the classics.

Whenever I see injustice, I want to learn swordsmanship; knowing it's useless, I still read books.
My personal opinion on the concepts of sword and sword energy.
Regarding the concepts of swords and sword energy, in my personal opinion, after reading so many novels, I've found that *Thirteen Drops of Water: The Demon-Slaying Master* (a low-magic world) and *The Weight Loss Expert's Mirror Inquiry* (a high-magic world) are two of the most systematic novels describing sword cultivation.
Spring flowers bloom and autumn fades, sixty years pass in a flash, and my beloved swordsman will never return.
After finishing it, I realized that I had been following the author's previous book as well.
This book
This book is actually more like a wuxia (martial arts) novel. The author shouldn't force too much fantasy or xianxia elements; it's not that I'm afraid you won't write it well, but I want a good wuxia book.
Friendly reminder: This is a fake system novel! It's abusive to the protagonist! It's not a feel-good story! It's full of showing off! The power system is completely broken! The protagonist has already reached the stages of Acquired, Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Dao Entry—his peers are almost at the Dao Entry stage before he's even started practicing martial arts.
Friendly reminder for newcomers!!! This book appears to be a system novel, but it's actually a traditional martial arts story. It lacks the typical "power fantasy" elements; the protagonist suffers constant torment and supporting characters die along the way. Enter at your own risk!
It feels a bit pretentious in its writing style, imitating the style of traditional martial arts novels. Unfortunately, the plot isn't smooth enough, and it feels somewhat contrived. Telling a story clearly is more important than having fancy writing skills.
It performed well in the early stages, weakened in the mid-game, and collapsed in the late game. The author's choice of words and sentences is quite skillful, but the later parts feel like they're deliberately creating suspense. Good writing skills should be able to explain the plot clearly, but unfortunately, the later parts were genuinely confusing.
A common problem among artsy types: too little setup and too much unnecessary dialogue. The author is moved a thousand times over, but the reader is left completely bewildered.
