Farming Fiction: No Empty Dreams, No Hollow Hype 🌾

🌹🌹🌹🌹 The farming novel is a label with a remarkably rich range of meanings. “Farming” first came from strategy video games. Players follow the principles of “build high walls, stockpile provisions, and delay claiming kingship,” quietly developing their own territory and gradually expanding their power until they conquer everything.

Great Reads a Veteran Reader of N Years Has Enjoyed

I've been reading since 2008 and discovered plenty of great books along the way. I've gathered them here for fellow veteran readers who are out of things to read.

An 18-Year Veteran Reader’s List, No Female-Oriented Fiction, Updated Whenever

I’ve been reading web novels since 2004, and I’ve become more and more particular about what I read. Writing style, plot logic, and well-rounded characters are all factors in whether I keep going. I don’t read many novels aimed at women, but I’ve added the ones I think are good to this list~ If you’re into the same things, let’s chat sometime, meow…(´･_･`)

No Feel-Good Power Trips, Just Fun and Thought-Provoking Stories

Added a new option: “If I could recommend only five books” The five books that have stuck with me most are Super-Dimensional Wizard, Throne of Magical Arcana, The Primitive Wars, The Azeroth Adventure Guide, and Journey to Klimasha. Of course, Cultivation Chat Group and Lord of the Mysteries are classics too, but those two know far too much, so I won't recommend them. There's also A Scholarly Gathering with My Lich Colleagues, which I've been reading lately. The author hasn't written enough yet

Some Books I'm Reading, Updated from Time to Time. Follow Me!

I'm bored and have run out of books to read, so I'm sharing some of the ones I'm reading that seem pretty good. No spamming books.... The book-list section has been taken over by people spamming lists. Is it really fun to keep pushing the same few books every day? Posting every few hours is so annoying! I'm too broke to afford the official editions anymore...

Novels About Climbing the Tech Tree

As the title says. Honestly, there are tons of novels about climbing the tech tree these days, but very few get the feel right.

All Kinds of Books to Enjoy During a Reading Slump

These are all books I've been reading lately. No simplistic power fantasies, and no harems.

These are all personal opinions, so take them as you will.
