A Great Collection of Books
Recommendations from a reader with thirty years' experience
Great Books Are Meant to Be Shared
Good books are meant to be shared. I’m passing along the gems I’ve found so fellow readers can enjoy them too. Lately I’ve been really into stories about little ones growing up. If you know any books where the protagonist has a long childhood to explore, please recommend them! Beastfolk cubs, human dumplings, anything like that. Childhood is so adorable, so why rush to make them grow up? It’s so boring. But if you’re recommending a story about a toddler who’s already competing for favor and fac
A Reading List of Solid Picks 🌸🌸🌸
Books I can stick with =_= Everything on this list is a gem to me √
A Sword, a Blade, a Jug of Wine, and a Book: My Only Companions on the Road
Travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books, explore countless worlds. I've added the good books I've read over the years. Some may have been written a long time ago, but they're still classics today. In the early years, reading novels was truly intoxicating and addictive. I'd stay up all night reading, dreaming of them over and over. Fortunately, I was young back then. Reading was such a thrill: strange and fantastical worlds, heroes leaping across rooftops, powerful figures soaring thro
Must-Reads I Follow Every Day

My Book List as a Post-90s Reader
Urban fiction, transmigration across worlds, historical fan fiction
Ordinary Yet Extraordinary
Ordinary lives can hold extraordinary people. I'm no good at writing recommendations, so all I can say is that these are good books.
The Dome Bookstore
A lot of the books on this list are ones I really enjoy. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so there's a bit of everything: history, xianxia, fantasy, urban life, short stories, and more. Ahem, some were recommended by friends, but I'll always read a chapter or two before adding them. If they're too awful, they won't make the list. (No horror or supernatural stories, please.) I'll be adding some novels I've been reading lately.
My Little Private Reading List
I've been reading novels for ten years now. I'm no wordsmith and don't know how to write recommendations, but since I can make a reading list, I thought I'd share some books.
A Haphazard Reading List for Easygoing Reading
I read a bit of everything. Whenever I find something I like, I add it here. I hope you will find a novel you enjoy. These recommendations are based on my personal tastes, and everyone is welcome to exchange recommendations.
Lan Yu's Completed Books
I've read all of these and think they're pretty good. Three stars means I finished it and moved on; four stars means I'd read it again; five stars means it's worth rereading over and over.
My Soul's Reading List: Games, Fantasy, and Urban and Historical Fiction
The sea of books is endless, but there are always a few that resonate with your soul. From top-tier authors to struggling writers, word count doesn't matter. I want both promising newcomers and towering classics!
The Dreamer
Wandering through worlds of fantasy.
Books Worth Rereading
I've been a bookworm for many years. I won't bother recommending books that are merely decent; I'll only introduce authors with taste and works with taste. I don't recommend books just for the sake of it. If a book doesn't make me want to read it straight through, I won't recommend it. There may not be many famous titles here, but those books really didn't hold my attention all the way through. I'll recommend just one book per author. Search for their other works yourself.

It's very realistic. I've heard from my parents' generation that back then, only wealthy people went to high school. The best was a teachers' college, where the government would assign jobs, and I think tuition was free—I forget exactly. The benefits were good too. According to my father, there was a student in our village who was quite good at junior high.
The writing is excellent, the writing skills and life experience are beyond reproach, but the update schedule is really bad. Can't you please update ten chapters a day?
Vote in favor of!
Only by deeply engaging with life can one create such a masterpiece; only by reading it carefully can one benefit from it. Every time I read it, my heart is warmed, I gather memories of the times, and I am moved between the lines.
The updates have been great these past two days, so I'm giving you a monthly pass. If the update goes well tomorrow, I'll give you another monthly pass and 7 recommendation votes.
I follow a new book every day, and I contribute to it every month. But without a large donation, can't I get it featured?!
I really enjoy Lao Mao's writing about everyday family matters.
Actually, it's a bit similar to the previous book, but I've already read the previous book three times, so I'll slowly catch up on the new one. It's described as a short story, but I feel like it could become a longer one if I keep writing.
It really feels so real; the vivid descriptions of everyday life are what give this book its vitality. 2000 Words for you! Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง!
The finale came unexpectedly.
Last month there were frequent bursts of updates (just kidding!), I thought it could keep going, but it wasn't sustainable, so I put it on hold again. Then today I saw the latest update—the finale! I rushed in and read those few chapters, and I have to say, the author really does write short stories.
