A Guide to Cultivation for Cannon Fodder

A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads

A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h

Xuelianhan Is Always Looking for Something to Read

Collecting all kinds of stories I like. I especially enjoy: Creative, anything-goes stories Farming stories Period stories Apocalyptic stories Cultivation stories Pocket-dimension stories System stories ...

Cultivation Fantasy (Mostly Mortal's Journey)

Beginning with the immortal dream of Dusty Fate, carried forward by Stellar Transformation, turning with A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and coming together in the mortal cultivation genre. I only read cultivation novels! I read both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction! I especially love mortal cultivation stories!

Books I've Enjoyed in Recent Years, Mostly Female-Led Xianxia and Mystery

I'm picky and always running out of books. Lately, I'm only reading xianxia, fantasy, and mystery novels with good prose. I like strong male and female leads who stand side by side. No weak little flowers, no saintly characters, no mindless stories, and no melodramatic romantic entanglements full of angst. Books I've read and liked: Jiejian by Yu Jing Peng Xiang; From Longevity to Ascension by Xiao Shi Ni Ge Zha Zha; The Legend of Shen Li by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang; The First Sickly Disciple of the Cul

The Miscellaneous Book Corner

These are all books I really enjoy, across a wide range of genres. Overall, though, most have interesting plots, with fantasy and historical fiction being the most common.

Books I’ve Read and Think Are Worth Remembering

Books I think are pretty good, all of which I've read myself. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Four and a half stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ For some reason, this list was blocked for several years. I only remembered it recently, and found that I had to delete a lot of content and books before it would pass review. I have to say, there have been very few good female-oriented novels on Qidian these past couple of years.

Everyone Has a Duty to Ease the Reading Drought!

This list has both male-oriented and female-oriented novels. I’ve been reading on Qidian for over a decade, and everything I recommend is a good book that’s easy to stick with. Some books have few reviews, not because they’re bad, but because I’m too lazy to type them up. Every book on this list took some effort to find. Over the years, I’ve become less and less interested in female-oriented fiction. That’s not the kind of strong female lead I’m looking for. Most of them revolve around clinging

A Girl’s Qidian Reading List

A brief record of the novels I've followed

Having Met a Gentleman, How Could I Not Be Glad? By Qing Xuan (Mostly Female-Led Fantasy Cultivation Novels)

After years of reading, there aren't many books that I truly like. Even fewer have a heroine with just the right balance of intelligence and personality: she shouldn't be weak and helpless, but she shouldn't be so ruthless that her values are completely warped either. When a story gets that balance right, the character is bound to shine.

Zhen Ju's Bookshelf

I've been reading for over a decade. This list features novels with sound values and good writing. I'm quite picky: an author's writing and plotting can improve over time, but I can't keep reading if their values don't sit right with me. Most of the female-led novels have no romance. I'll mark the ones with a single couple. (This doesn't apply to male-oriented novels.) From now on, I'll only recommend novels I've read and think are good quality. Thanks for following, but there's no need to recom

Books With Mostly Sound Values, Some Completed, Mostly for Female Readers

I recommend books with decent quality and protagonists whose values are more or less sound. P.S. I don’t like protagonists who help people trying to kill them.

Friends' Recommendations and All-Time Favorites

Please follow me. Works I particularly like, along with works by my friends. The stories I like should be well written, without major logical flaws or awkward sentences. Ideally, they should be long completed works. Waiting for updates is exhausting. I do not read male-oriented novels and do not plan to, since I cannot relate to them.
