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

⸜( ⌓̈ )⸝ Female-Oriented Xianxia: So Sleepy Every Day
Cultivation fantasy picks in their early stages ⸜( ⌓̈ )⸝ My personal dealbreakers: romance (most of it), several lifetimes of love and so on. I generally prefer plot-driven stories with no romance. I don't like formulaic plots or melodrama. That's about it. Some recent finds. I'm studying for the graduate school entrance exams, so finding new stories and recommending early-stage ones is all by chance. I haven't had time to catch up on most of them.

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 Veteran Bookworm's Female Cultivation Reading List
After years of reading, I've read quite a few female-led cultivation stories where the heroines focus on their path to immortality instead of romance. I can't stand stories where the heroine loses all reason the moment she meets the male lead, or fluffy romance novels dressed up as cultivation stories. You can rest assured there are absolutely no books like that on this list. Come on in! P.S. I feel bad that most of my recommendations are either new or on hiatus. So much for saying you can rea

Have you ever, because of a book: 👇 ☄ Kept it on your list even though updates were slower than a snail… ☄ Cursed and swore you were done, only to turn into a devoted fan when a new chapter dropped… ☄ Watched it go stale while you were waiting 🥀, then watched the story drift apart… ☄ Been promoted to "someday, maybe," and ended up in a race against the author to see who lives longer… * The past is too painful to revisit.

No Romance Reading List (The Curator Is Lazy)
Mostly cultivation novels, with a few other kinds too. Mainly stories without a male lead, though there are also stories without a female lead! I’m no good at writing descriptions; I’m just sharing some books I think are pretty good. Please follow me. If you know any novels without a male lead or a female lead, please recommend them.

Relatively High-Quality Romance-Free Novels
This list records all kinds of novels I've found. Most have no romance, but the ones that do are great too~ The genres are mostly cultivation and fantasy. The books I add are generally high quality, and the authors' writing is solid too, haha. Come take a look at my list! (。・ω・。)ノ♡
Fate Begins, Fate Ends, Alone
(Historical and contemporary romance) No messy, drawn-out relationships. I like sweet, heartwarming romances. For cultivation and xianxia, I tend to prefer stories without a male lead, but I'm open to those with one. I enjoy well-written rebirth, soul-transmigration, and other stories. Sometimes I'll include beginner-level novels too. No forced Mary Sues.

Good books I approve of ^O^
Only My Favorites: Ten-Year Bookworm
I read all styles, as long as I think they're well written!!! Sci-fi, transmigrate, reborn, xianxia, post-apocalyptic, and more... I read male-oriented fiction too. Books I read before joining Qidian aren't included; this list only has books I've read since downloading the app. P.S. Pregnancy and breastfeeding mean I've also been reading some mindless, cliche fluff and male-oriented wish-fulfillment stories (●'◡'●)ノ❤

As I roam the vast sea of books, when I find one that truly resonates, I can't help but dance with joy, beyond words. Some books in this list will set your blood racing until you can barely contain your excitement; others are so tender and moving they may leave you quietly in tears. Snow is falling as evening draws near. Won't you join me for a drink?

٩(◦`꒳´◦)۶ Readers, please leave a comment before you go!
It's a plot-driven story that really suits my taste, and I love the female lead's character. The only downside is I have to wait for it to grow to its maximum length; who knows how many books I'm currently reading...
Absolutely stunning! Books this flawless in every aspect are rare these days. The author's writing and conception are ingenious; it feels like a lot of thought went into it. The plot is fast-paced and high-energy throughout. Some might find the psychological descriptions excessive, but I personally felt they made the characters more complex and nuanced. In short, it's incredibly captivating, a must-read for avid readers!
I was immediately awestruck upon first reading, especially by the several brushes with death. I wasn't a fan of rebirth novels before, having read too many and they all seemed the same, but this one truly captivated me, making me read it again and again. Even if it were to end (just hypothetically), the existing chapters would still be incredibly exciting. Therefore, I will not rush the writing.
A comprehensive summary of reviews and suggestions regarding female cultivators ✔️
1. The female cultivator is more realistic, with both dark and kind aspects of humanity. The author's writing skills are limited, and he can only write what he wants to write and what he can write. 2. This is not a masterpiece that will be remembered for eternity. It is just a humble work and will have flaws. For example, it is very slow-paced, almost like a slow burn.
The beginning is really wordy; many descriptions are either similar or repetitive, using the same sentences over and over again to tell the same story. Plot development is good in novel writing, but too much development hinders the plot's progression, making it almost like filler chapters.

(Not original)
The book's premise is actually quite good, and the initial atmosphere is well-established. However, as the author himself stated, the writing is far too drawn-out. A plot-driven narrative is different from an upgrade-based narrative, as all readers know. But this constant analysis and explanation—does the author think readers are idiots? The plot is driven by endless explanations and analyses.
Although it's a good show, I just couldn't finish it. The plot is rambling and drags on; every sentence is repeated over and over. It would be much better if it were more concise.
A small suggestion
The book is alright; the plot and characters are good, but it's a bit too verbose. Many descriptions don't need constant questioning and explanations; simply stating the reasons clearly is enough. The excessive verbosity is tiring to read.
