A Roundup for When You’re Out of Books 🌻 Honest Recommendations

The World and I Are Just One Reading List Apart
Draw close to worthy ministers and keep petty men at a distance: this is why the Former Han prospered. Draw close to petty men and keep worthy ministers at a distance: this is why the Later Han declined. Whenever the late emperor discussed this with me, he never failed to sigh with grief and indignation over Emperors Huan and Ling. The Attendants, Palace Secretaries, Chief Historians, and Military Advisers are all upright and loyal men who would die for their principles. I hope Your Majesty will

Ancient Romance Reading List: Those Good Books I Happened to Stumble Upon🍀🍀🍀
🍁🍁 There's something so delightful about stumbling across a good book in a quiet, overlooked corner, isn't there? And I love helping everyone else experience that same surprise. So this list came to be... 🍁🍁 It's mostly historical romance written for women, but I'll also add a few other books I like, including some great works aimed at men. 🍁🍁 Sometimes I feel that many books on Qidian are really well-written, but they don't get much exposure, so readers never find them. What a shame... 🍁🍁 So

I read people, not books. This is only a private little garden for collecting works by friends.
Ascension to Immortality
"Clouds drift softly, rain falls gently, from dusk to dawn." [Like a monster, no one like me] For a long stretch of my youth, I felt like a “monster,” or like Alice, the blue whale at a frequency of 52 hertz, stranded on an island and unable to find another whale on the same wavelength. But later, I realized that I simply hadn't explored enough of the ocean. Over the years, I've read books, listened to countless songs, passed through crowds of people time and again, and traveled from city to c

A Moon Over Every River
I'm not miserable enough to be a poet, nor cold enough to be a philosopher, but I'm clearheaded enough to be a useless person., Emil Cioran, Tears and Saints
The Bookshop on the Corner
Here are some great works I've picked out, both new and old. The characters and plots are captivating. Most haven't been abandoned, though who knows if one might suddenly get dropped ╭(╯╰)╮. The list is updated from time to time. The books near the bottom (or top, who knows how this list is sorted) are the newest. The more people save it, the more motivated I'll be, and the less likely I'll get lazy!
A Collection of the Best Works
Most of the reviews on this list are long-form. I've read at least some of every book listed. The reviews may be written by me or by someone else, but they'll be fair. Of course, the truly terrible books might occasionally get an emotional review. No brainless protagonists, no melodramatic plots. A list with a conscience.

Hey-hey
Thank you. I'm not a cold and aloof author; I'm just not good at communicating. I've read all your comments, but I don't know how to reply to each one. Every new author must feel anxious, unsure whether their book is actually being read. I often browse through the books in the short story category, read other people's words, and experience their emotions.
I've read very few books on Qidian, and of the few I have, Ah Yin's is quite special. I haven't been able to think of a suitable adjective, and it's certainly difficult to describe it in just a few words. It should be a true essay, a pure expression of thoughts and emotions.
