Return to the Fold

To My Former Chuunibyou Self

Somewhere in the vast sea of books, you'll always find one that suits you. Maybe it once kept you up all night, or maybe... well, maybe that's all. Would you read it a second time? Could you keep going?

Gathering Pearls from the Sea of Desire, Finding the Way, and Sharing Them to Soothe the Soul

Across the vast mountain of books, I sigh for a peaceful world; across the surging sea of desire, I sail my boat of the Way. For ten years I've read, seeking to break through the walls; readers wield their axes with extraordinary resolve. Among the myriad faces of the mortal world, remarkable people emerge; across these splendid mountains and rivers, great ambitions take flight. Gathering wisdom from the sea of desire, I still seek the Way; let us enjoy these books together and bring comfort to

For When You’re in a Reading Slump: Updated Whenever I Find a Gem

I favor urban, historical, slice-of-life, and fantasy novels. 👉 Classics, completed gems, and great web novels are shared in the comments. 👉 I don't update the list often. It can only hold 50 books from this site, so when I add new ones, completed gems may be moved to the comments. 👉 I like sharing works with sound values and solid logic. I hope someone can recommend some older books. The new releases are hard to stomach.

Humanity's Grand Ambitions, Soft Murmurs, and Quiet Reflections (Haha)

I won't list books near the top of the rankings or famous titles. Everyone has probably already given those a try. What makes people shine, what makes humanity shine, is probably intelligence and emotion. The feelings we cherish as children and the ambitions we hold as adults are all deeply moving. I'll probably choose books with heartfelt emotions, lofty ideals, and grounded characters. I can't be a saint, but I can't help wanting to imitate them, lol.

Sharing is more fun than enjoying things alone, so here's a list. Stories with a little something special that I follow every day. The main recommendation is Returning to the Source. I've been a reader since the Cmfu days. If I don't keep up with a book, I won't recommend it. I like trimming things down, but I'm also open to adding more. Since 2019, I've picked the best of the best. At most, I've read 45 monthly-vote novels in a month, but these are the only ones I've kept up with or finished.

Great Novels That Never Made the Top Charts

I keep scrolling through the books at the top of the charts, but none of them are to my taste. Then one day, at some moment, I stumble across a book I love. I read it in one sitting, and the more I read, the more I like it. I leave a comment, scrape together 100 coins to tip the author, and give it my recommendation and the one or two monthly votes I can spare. Then I search the rankings and scroll for ages before I find it. Sigh ╯﹏╰. Those poor little books that never make the top of the charts
