The Reasonable Reader (Infinite Worlds / Crossover Anime / Alternate Dimensions / Fan Fiction / Anime)
The protagonist must be smart and absolutely not a bleeding heart. No female lead is a bonus. (This list is full, so I can't add any more books. Some issues came up midway through, and I neglected it for several years, so I've started a new list.)

No matter how incredible an author is, it can't beat a simple "I like this." When it comes to reading, what matters is whether you enjoy it. This is Yu Ye Dai San Bu Dai Dao's corner, featuring only books I like.
Books That Touch the Divine
How much history lies buried beneath the yellow sands? How many truths have been deliberately fabricated? And how many potentially legendary books remain unknown? Who knows when we became so restless, or when we grew numb. Nor do we know when we'll be swallowed up by the endless crush of worldly life. This is simply a collection of the books I consider great. I hope they'll awaken your fondest memories of discovering web novels for the first time! And yes, feel free to recommend books. I'll pick

Some Good, Solid Reads
The characters in a story should feel fully realized. The ones who let you wander through a sea of books and leave a lasting impression won't become strangers the moment you put down your phone. A good book gives you characters whose experiences you can truly relate to.
Read, Reading, and Worth Reading
My personal ratings
Single Male Lead, No Harem, Few Deal-Breakers
I just want to enjoy what I read. I don't need to make myself miserable. On Qidian, where harems, playboys, simps, and all sorts of fetishes are everywhere, it's pretty hard to find books whose protagonists share my values and aren't idiots who let their lower halves do the thinking. I add books from my shelf and remove them when they're no longer there.

A Conscience-Driven Reading List
I try to recommend books that aren’t popular. Honestly, I’m torn: some books are no longer obscure once they reach a million words. Sigh. Novels under a million words don’t feel satisfying to read; with novels over a million words, I usually don’t care what happens next. Of course, that’s just my personal experience, and it’s also my standard for choosing books for this list. Even if a book is excellent, I won’t recommend it unless I’m sure it’ll reach a million words. Haha.

Lighthearted and funny. If you’re out of things to read, come take a look. There are loads of great books I couldn’t add to the list. I’ve read at least several hundred books. I’m getting lazier and lazier, and sometimes I forget where this list is, so I don’t keep it updated with new books.

My Private Collection
If something sounds up my alley, I'll save it. Recommend any good new books to me. Lately, I'm especially into stories that start with traditional Chinese martial arts, or ones set in Hong Kong.

I recommend reading "The Sound of Knives in the Wind Chimes" and "The Crescent Moon Blade"; as for "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword", "The Moon Blade", and the "Lu Xiaofeng Series", they seem to have been written to death and there is little new to them.
It would be best to refer to the style of *Xian Ni*, where a single move can grow into a supernatural power or even a protective technique as the protagonist's cultivation level increases. It should carry all the protagonist's growth imprints and insights. Don't just focus on leveling up.
This book is alright, but the recent plot has been a bit too forceful in downplaying the protagonist's fighting ability. A seemingly random, native villain can actually go toe-to-toe with the protagonist, who has grown up with so many worlds as his resources. Doesn't this just highlight the protagonist's low intelligence and talent?
Keep it up! Well written. I've subscribed to the full version and hope it will be featured.

This month, I need a certain number of recommendation votes for five monthly awards. Can't you just give me a featured award?
Can't you be a little more self-aware? We give you 5 recommendation votes every day, can't you work extra hard just once a book is released? Hurry up and add this to your favorites! I want you to know our anger! 😡😡😡
Simply swallowing two strands of Primordial Purple Qi is equivalent to proving the Dao through force. What's the point of Hongjun aligning with the Heavenly Dao if he swallows seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi? Wouldn't that be outrageous?
The novel *The World of Immortality* taught me a valuable lesson: anything not accepted by humanity is considered an outsider. Those not of our kind are bound to have different intentions; self-interest is paramount. Humanity, even in times of trouble, is not necessarily united; in times of peace, internal strife is inevitable. In my view, humanity is the most ununited race in all the realms.
Actually, the first fifty chapters or so of this book are really off-putting. I suggest skipping them if you can't get through them. The protagonist is a bit of a loser and very impetuous in the early stages. Another major flaw is that the origin of the dilapidated temple is revealed too early. The broken road in the temple makes the protagonist rush to the Great Luo realm, which is a big mistake.
