The Picky Readers’ Alliance
Everyone has different tastes. I abandon most books on other lists after reading just the opening, but I've also discovered some books on fellow readers' lists that I personally love. Some are so obscure that many readers have missed them, which I think is a real shame. So I've put together this list in the hope that more readers will discover these hidden gems. Taste is deeply personal, of course, so this is only meant to help readers who share mine. I read slowly and rarely read several books
No Male Lead, but Plenty of Brains
I’m tired of romance stories pretending to have strong female leads. As soon as the romance starts, the characters fall apart and the plot can stop making sense. Stories without a male lead are less likely to insult the reader’s intelligence. I add new books and clear out the list from time to time. Recommended: I Want to Become Empress. Who’s Against It?
A Mixed Stew...?
Male-reader stories with no female lead, or just one female lead who barely features 🀄 Female-reader stories 🐶 either without a male lead 🐕 or with a single pairing 🐭. These are all female-protagonist stories I enjoy: ongoing 🐱, completed 🐀🐁, classics 🐢, cultivation 🐰, online games and interstellar stories 🐇🐓, and others I personally think are good. 🐏🐑🐥🐦🐤🐣 I don't have the patience to follow updates, 🐺🐃🐄🐮🐗 so most are completed. 🐚🐙🐳🐋🐟🐠🐜🐛🐌🐾 Ongoing stories have at least 500 chapters and plenty to

A Collection of Books I Found Especially Distinctive, From All Genres
I've been reading novels for a long time, but I can count on one hand how many I've actually finished. Recently, though, I've found a few that can hold my interest all the way through. This list is mainly a reading log. Some books here I've finished, while others I couldn't stick with, but each has its own strengths.

The writing style and artistic conception are both top-notch, how come I've never seen it featured in any of the recommended sections? I only found it while browsing Tieba.
That's fantastic, a really interesting article!
I'm ready to jump in, but I'm too skinny. I love chubby people. Good luck, author!
Damn! It's so well-written yet so obscure; it must be because it's not getting enough exposure... Even the best wine needs advertising.
This is amazing! After reading the first chapter, I knew I had to subscribe to the whole book. Keep up the good work, author!
It looks great, keep it up!
The writing is truly excellent, concise and to the point, I'll definitely save this for later!
The prologue is absolutely stunning, unparalleled!!!
It's not bad. It satirizes current events and has an absurdist comedic style, somewhat like Midnight Bookstore. The only problem is that the character development is a bit weak. But that's how absurdist comedies are; I still prefer something more realistic and darker.
It's really interesting and vivid; I couldn't put it down after just a few pictures. I hope you can stay true to yourself and never forget your original aspirations.
