I Just Don't Read Beginner-Level Novels!
I keep a record of books I enjoy. No mindless power fantasies, no harem stories, and the protagonists all have normal intelligence. There are books aimed at both women and men. Anything I like goes on the list. My standard for choosing books is simple: they're books I'm willing to pay to read. I'll update the descriptions whenever I feel like it. I've read them all, so I'll write reviews too. - Qidian, please approve this!!
Nanshan Pavilion: Baixiaosheng
This is a list made by an old hand at reading. My interests are limited and my tastes are narrow. I like lying in a recliner on rainy days, listening to the rain and watching the ivy and flowers sway beside the window. A book, a cup of tea, and a calm, peaceful afternoon may be all I need. No need to think about troubles at work or worry about anything else. I might make a delicious meal or use a projector to watch a favorite movie. I simply go with the flow (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)!

Books Worth Reading
I Love Reading
No brainless stories, with one female lead or none. A solid list of good reads.
Lighthearted Novels
Maybe I’m getting older. I’m not into fighting and killing anymore, and prefer something light and relaxing, so I read a lot of urban entertainment stories. I’m also tired of elaborate schemes and plots. They’re exhausting. Most of these books have one heroine or none at all. I’m out of things to read. My bookshelf is packed, but I only open three books each day: Super Dimensional Wizard, The Meow of Words Takes Shape, and Embers Ad Infinitum. Otherwise, I revisit old favorites. I’m thinking of
Books I Think Are Good
I strongly recommend not reading the comments, because many people are biased. The only way to know whether a book is any good or right for you is to click in and read it yourself. If you give up because of a few haters, you'll really have nothing left to read. Novels should be a relaxing, enjoyable read. Why do so many people complain that an author is padding things out? If you only want the main points, just ask the author to write you a synopsis.
🌸New Releases, Hidden Gems, and Books I'm Following🌸✨
Most of these are new books with only a few chapters. The genres vary, and I add them purely based on my own interests. Some have reviews and some don't. I'll remove review spam from time to time.
For Passing the Time
A little of everything. Good for passing the time when you're bored, and most of it is readable.

Great Book Recommendations 🎉
Handpicked recommendations. If you like them, please add them to your collection. I’ve tested each book before recommending it. All I want from a book is an engaging story that draws me into its world. That’s what makes a good book. I have eclectic tastes: fantasy, science fiction, and anime-inspired stories are all welcome

Positive Vibes, One Female Lead or None, One Male Lead or None, Lighthearted and Funny, Just What I Like
I believe friendship should be sincere, and love should come with a sense of responsibility. Of course, I won't criticize harem stories or playboy protagonists, but I don't read them myself. If I try one, I drop it!
Fun, Creative Novels with Wild Ideas, Plus In-Depth Reviews
This list is dead. Now it's all bots boosting the stats. It's laughable and sad, but not pitiful. These are all distinctive novels worth savoring. No wish-fulfillment or mindless stories. When I read web novels, I look at the plot and premise first, then the characters and worldbuilding, and finally the writing. Please leave comments, discuss, and recommend novels. If I enjoy one, I'll add it to the list.
A Booklist of Slow-Updating Novels

As expected of a master author, at least in one aspect, they understand the audience's mindset. Urban fiction should avoid all the backstabbing and infighting, like some big influencer or colleague attacking someone. This book avoids those unpleasant things, making it a very pleasant read, like a child's play. Without those trivial matters, the reader enjoys a smooth and delightful experience.
Waiting for Lao Guo to eat pork intestine sashimi 😍😍
Honestly, reading this book reminded me of the hardships I endured learning to cook. I entered the kitchen in 2009 at the age of 17, starting as a kitchen helper and slowly climbing the ranks. At the beginning, I was always busy setting up dishes and plating. Later, I was diligent, and the master chef rewarded me with lessons, teaching me how to marinate meat, make sauces, and simmer broth.
By the way, the stove is for stir-frying, the plating assistant is for plating dishes, the head stove is usually the head of the kitchen or the head chef, the chopping board is for cutting vegetables, the serving area is for cooking porridge and soup, the pastry area is for making pastries, and the water station is for washing vegetables and cleaning fish.
I just found this book, haven't read it yet, but I'm browsing the reviews and saw many people from the same industry. I started as an apprentice in 2008, working as a kitchen helper, then moved to the cutting board in the third month, and finally to the kitchen at the end of 2009. I've been learning on the job ever since, without an apprenticeship.
[Sheep Attack] Drooling everywhere... Holding a bag of spicy strips (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) "I am the first person to walk diligently".
Yo yo, yo yo... The handsome guy has arrived! Hai Lou. I'm the little brother. …(=´∀`)(´∀`=). Book Title: I Am the Number One in Diligence Author: Heart of Light and Darkness. Commentator: Actually, my name is "Cool Sheep". (This is from me (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻) A brief comment: When it comes to delicious food, everyone is equal! First impression: Hmm...
Around 1995, when I was very young, I went to Tianjin with my family and specifically tried Goubuli steamed buns, but I didn't find them particularly delicious. Later, around 2008, a Goubuli branch opened in the commercial street of my hometown. My classmates and I went there once, having heard so much about it.
Major (occupational) categories
Only this book and The Great Doctor Ling Ran can truly capture this feeling. I used to follow the author's "Sunny Qin Dynasty" back in the day, but I never expected him to switch styles like this; it's absolutely outrageous!
Finally, someone commented on foreign cuisine! Personally, I also felt it was inappropriate; it was uninspiring. The author portrays the disparity in quality between domestic and international cuisine, and the protagonist's rapid improvement doesn't feel like a contribution to the nation. Instead, constantly arguing with petty clowns makes him seem narrow-minded.
I was wrong, I will never read food articles late at night again!
