Old Bai's 2026 Reading List

For my own reading. I'm not very tolerant of bad writing. After reading too many simplistic novels, I've become immune to almost every conventional trope. Here to discover more great original stories. Recommendations are ranked from most to least recommended: heavenly treasures, excellent fare, decent fare, toxic fare, and deadly poison.

[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels

Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden

A Gem of a Reading Room

Great books I've read. (Tightly plotted masterpieces, or stories with boastful protagonists, wild ideas, humor, and some fanfiction.) I've been looking for more obscure books lately, so I've added star ratings as a heads-up. The two- and three-star books are ones I think you might enjoy if they suit your taste. If they don't sound right for you, don't blame me for recommending them.

So Good They Leave You Speechless

Rated from 1 to 10. I've been a bookworm for over ten years, and my ratings are very subjective. So far, I haven't given any book above a 7. (I often wonder why I even rate on a scale of 1 to 10.) A 7 is already really high. I checked, and nearly half the books have been abandoned.

Quality Over Quantity

I’m extremely picky about what I read (◦˙▽˙◦). This list includes both completed and ongoing stories. My tastes are pretty basic, so this list may not be sophisticated enough for those who only like highbrow works. Feel free to browse other lists instead.

Late-Night Reading Warning! Novels You Won't Be Able to Put Down

Warning! The books on this list are highly addictive and may cause symptoms such as staying up all night and forgetting to eat. Make sure you have nothing planned for tomorrow before reading! I've removed a few abandoned novels. Aside from legendary works, this list doesn't keep novels that have been abandoned or left on hiatus.

A Selective Reading List of Excellent and Decent Xianxia

Every book on this list has at least one clear strength that makes it worth reading. P.S. I favor books with fresh writing styles or exceptional skill in at least one area. Traditional wish-fulfillment stories and books with stale writing are almost nonexistent here. I don't give scores or label everything as either “Good Herb” or “Immortal Herb,” because everyone has different tastes, and drawing distinctions too finely can start arguments. That said, the standards for making this list are pret

Weekly Updates, Monthly Updates, Yearly Updates, Hiatuses, and Abandoned Stories

There's a saying that if you read a book that ends badly and get drawn into it, you'll end up reading more and more books that end badly. Personally, sometimes a book's ending leaves me feeling wistful. In those cases, I'd almost rather it had no ending at all, leaving room for everyone to imagine what happens next.

Unearthed Gems: Books at a College Student's Level!

What does college-level writing mean? First, it's not childish prose or overly simplistic writing. The logic should hold together, and the writing should flow. It might be understated yet humorous, awe-inspiring in its imagination, or so finely written that it resonates with the reader. And so on. In short, it shouldn't make you feel inexplicably pulled out of the story.

Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads

I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.

【Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds】Books I Like and My Reviews

Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)

Finding a Sense of Real-World Belonging in Virtual Worlds

I mainly recommend fan fiction. The authors' imaginations are out of this world, and they breathe new life into familiar characters while staying true to the originals. I rarely recommend books that are already near the top of the charts, since those usually have plenty of devoted fans. I'm more interested in finding hidden gems by authors with real potential. I've checked each book for poison before adding it.

For Personal Use | Xianxia, Fantasy, Wuxia, Light Novels, and a Little History and Mystery

Since someone actually reads these, I’ll give them a proper introduction. This is a purely subjective list, so don’t get hung up on the ratings. /Selection criteria: Promising new books, by big-name authors or newcomers alike. I only care whether I like them. I’ll update my reviews as new books build up a backlog. (Assuming I remember.) A few older books I like (very few). I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date.
