Yan Shisan's Little Reading List (Keywords: Lords, Mount & Blade, Farming)

This list is for readers who enjoy lord-building, farming, Mount & Blade-style adventures, and raising massive armies. Who wouldn't want to rise from humble beginnings and eventually claim the throne? (This list has undergone a major overhaul, including changes to the types of books featured.)

A Roundup of Dark Stories with No Female Leads and Decisive Protagonists: Pure Darkness Is Hard to Find

No romance. No bleeding hearts. Either dark or ruthlessly decisive. Some are niche works, while others are by big-name authors.

I prefer stories with no female lead, and themes of ruthlessness and self-interest

Reading Log, 2023–2026 (Primarily No-Romance Protagonists)

I prefer stories with no female lead. I read all kinds of fiction, and this list tracks my reading on Qidian.

Explore Three Thousand Worlds in Search of Overlooked Gems. Drop In to Cure Your Reading Drought

Infinite realms, Systems, summoning, Cthulhu, corruption, wuxia, transmigration, all kinds of new and old books. If I can get into a book, I'll add it here. (Ratings: snacks, solid reads, and masterpieces. The + or - shows my personal opinion of how good a book is within its category. Please don't take offense.

Smart Characters, Solid Logic

What I look for: 1. Logic: Above all, the story's logic should hold up. 2. Intelligence: The main and supporting characters should be smart. 3. Purpose: Characters should have clear reasons for what they do. 4. Realism: The story should feel grounded in reality. I've finished all of these before recommending them. Hope you enjoy!

Books I've Read, Leaving a Trace

Books of all kinds. I'm leaving a record so I can find them again later.

Reviews and favorites of completed novels I’ve read with either one female lead or no female lead. I generally don’t read books that lack originality.

Momo’s Book Nook

Mostly books from recent years that are worth reading, by both big-name authors and newcomers. They're not beginner-level fluff, have something distinctive about them, and are all reasonably well-written. I'll update the list from time to time.

Simple, Clean, and White

These works are full of ideas that can benefit young people today, especially in logic and ways of thinking, and they challenge conventional beliefs. I’ve studied them deeply and found endless things to appreciate.

For All Time ✔ Book Nook: Mainly Paid Subscription Books

Clear-minded protagonists with the bearing of the strong, clear goals, and well-organized actions. No saintly do-gooders, no idiots, and no groveling at women's feet. Each book has something worthwhile. So far, I've only recommended published books I've subscribed to. I'll make a separate list for unpublished promising new novels when I have time.

Books I've Read

Decisive and Ruthless, Dark Stories

Most of the books on this list have protagonists who put their own interests first, or have entertaining plots. The stories tend to be realistic, dark, logical, and wildly imaginative. Here are a few recommendations: Urban fiction's all-time masterpiece: Hidden Kill Xianxia's all-time masterpiece: Renegade Immortal One Piece: The Evil Admiral The Lone Wolf of Freljord

A Mixed-World Fanfiction Library of Easy Reads

A collection of crossover fanfiction, with both single-world and multiverse travel. It includes Chinese, Japanese, and American comics, as well as stories set in a single world or across an infinite number of worlds. Most are average, with a few decent reads. The main idea is to offer plenty of books to keep you fed, though you may also come across some abandoned stories or bad endings. If you’re between books or in a reading slump, come by and find something to pass the time.

Brute Force, Tough Guys, Rationality, and a Touch of Darkness

Novels with basically no female lead, a reasonable approach, and a cold, dark tone

A Hearty Reading List (All Kinds of Genres)

All kinds of genres, including anime and manga fanfiction, gaming, and entertainment. These are novels I've followed, found worth reading, and that have plenty of chapters.

Mystery and Interesting Fan-Fiction Works

Unusual fantasy that lives up to my expectations I like novels where the protagonist is a mastermind working behind the scenes, playing the game from a high-level perspective. I hate good-for-nothing protagonists and progression stories. You don't have to wait until the protagonist has mastered some divine technique before they make their move, but at the very least, they should have trained as much as they possibly can. What I find most baffling is how someone fresh out of the gate always has t

Moderator's Picks

If you enjoy these, remember to follow and leave a heart ❤! Books that don't get enough hearts will be replaced with others. I haven't included the most popular books. Most are good reads that are moderately popular, along with some new seedlings. There are books about attaining the Dao, and books about beginning the path of cultivation. New seedlings are appealing for their imaginative ideas. Many can really surprise you, but sadly, some lose their shine and soon go on hiatus or get abandoned.

Wildly Imaginative Stories

Only quality works make the list. I'm dedicated to finding good books. If you enjoy these, please add the list to your favorites. There's a great novel to read every day. I've been reading for fifteen years. I read every genre, but a good story matters most. Not ranked in any particular order. Dropped or discontinued novels will be removed.

Only Recommending Good Books of Above-Average Quality, Dedicated to Ending Reading Slumps

Every work I recommend is one I have read in its entirety myself. I can basically guarantee that the quality is above average, and that you won't find stories packed with deal-breakers. I hope everyone will recommend their favorite works to me, because I don't want to run out of books to read again. Thank you! Whether you send flowers or not isn't important. What matters is whether you can find what you're looking for here. I hope everyone can find works in the genres they enjoy!

A Small List of Highly Creative Novels with Beautiful Prose That Feel Fresh and Original

I often run out of books to read, so I made this list to share some good novels. Most of them are new novels that are still being serialized. Any unfinished novel that hasn’t updated for a month will be removed.
