See allDazzling New Books! May Our Great Motherland Prosper and Flourish
New releases that really stand out! Fantasy, xianxia, urban, historical, sci-fi, light novels... (The flowers-for-a-booklist event is paused. Books added to the list in exchange for flowers earlier will stay for at least a month. I'll read comments recommending new books from now on, and add the best ones to the list.) Let's enjoy fine writing together and discuss our differences. If you know a good book, leave a comment. I'll read every suggestion and add the ones I like to my shelves. Final
My Reading List 🔥
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into light entertainment, and I avoid romance and urban fiction, with a few exceptions. I dropped some of these books later on, but they still have something worth reading. I hope you find one that suits you.
Some Truly Worthwhile Book Recommendations
I mainly read fantasy and online-game novels, and hardly ever read urban or historical fiction. It's not easy to find a book I can stick with, so I often check out other people's reading lists and get a lot out of them. I'm updating my own list too, in case anyone comes across it and wants to share recommendations. I'm pretty picky about what I read. The flaws I point out are things I've noticed looking back after finishing a book. As the saying goes, a few flaws don't outweigh its merits, so I
Absolutely Invincible Heroes! No Leveling Up or Monster Hunting!
This list doesn't include traditional monster-fighting-and-leveling novels. I lean toward invincible-protagonist stories where the hero wins through sheer strength. [Absolutely Invincible] means no one is stronger than the protagonist. [Relatively Invincible] means the protagonist is very strong, with only a few characters who haven't appeared yet being stronger. And to answer why they all get abandoned: these invincible-protagonist novels almost always do.

A Letter to Ease the Sleepless
Books are like wine: fragrant, strong, or rich. Their contents give them a mellow depth. Books are like songs: soaring, subdued, or sorrowful. Their contents make them sweet to the ear. Books are like paintings: vivid, dim, or understated. Their contents make them beautiful.
A Sword, a Blade, a Jug of Wine, and a Book: My Only Companions on the Road
Travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books, explore countless worlds. I've added the good books I've read over the years. Some may have been written a long time ago, but they're still classics today. In the early years, reading novels was truly intoxicating and addictive. I'd stay up all night reading, dreaming of them over and over. Fortunately, I was young back then. Reading was such a thrill: strange and fantastical worlds, heroes leaping across rooftops, powerful figures soaring thro

These are all xianxia novels I enjoy. Have a look!
New Books Across All Genres That I'm Following
These are new books I’m currently following. No idiot protagonists. I wouldn’t recommend a book unless it was good. I’ve had my fill of fantasy and xianxia, so these days I’m reading books with something to say. I swear on Chairman Mao that I’ve bought every volume of every book I recommend. That’s no small expense for someone with a day job. Give this list a like if you enjoy it!
Books with Smart Characters
The books on this list are for readers with some years and life experience under their belts! The characters are intelligent, and the stories are thought-provoking, with few feel-good moments. If that's not your thing, feel free to move along. I prefer realistic writing that doesn't treat readers like idiots, and stories rich in wisdom about life. This is a niche list, but the stories here are excellent, with vivid characters and ensemble casts full of life.
Sensible Villains, Calm and Rational Protagonists
This list has been around for years, so it’s only natural that a few books don’t fit the title. Some may have been abandoned by their authors or taken down, too. I’m keeping them here as mementos.
Yin Shichengyuan’s Reading List
I’ll try to add some good books that don’t get much attention. Recommendations: Portrait of a Mask, Horror in Two Dimensions My ratings aren’t about a book’s quality, just how well it suits my taste.
Immortal-Grade Bookshop
I’ve been reading novels for over ten years and have read all kinds of books, but xianxia is still my favorite. Of course, whenever I come across an exciting passage, I often can’t put the book down. It’s like becoming the protagonist myself, caught up in love and hate, drawing my sword to slay my enemies. Through the words of so many authors, I step into the world of xianxia... Every book on this list has its own unique charm, some like a gentle breeze, others like a raging storm... In short, X
Fantasy and Xianxia, Especially Mortal Cultivation and Primordial Wilderness Stories
The Cultivator Clan, King of Immortal City, The Child of the Jie Sect, Seeking Immortality, The Divine Kingdom of Faith, Endless Shattered Realms, The Great Sage Hanguang
Nothing to Read, So Let's Pick Through These
Fifteen years as a bookworm. I’m reading fewer and fewer books, and it’s getting harder to find anything that interests me. Maybe only fresh new concepts can keep me reading? Please recommend some good books. Every time I finish one, it takes me an hour to find another.

Chang Ming's Reading List
I've been reading for a long time, so my standards are a little higher. This list has books for casual reading, as well as some lesser-known titles that are still being updated. You probably won't find books that dress up tired old formulas in equally tired prose.

The Shushan style has no future.
Although Mount Shu is the originator of Xianxia novels, online novels that try to imitate it will fail miserably. Here's why. First of all, Shushan was written during the Republic of China era, and the articles were updated in newspapers, with a monthly update speed. This is very important, so I'll emphasize it. Why do I say this?
Here are a few suggestions for the author… Although it's a Shushan-style novel… it could be written as a single-character biographical story… somewhat like most light novels these days… written solely from the protagonist's perspective… then they get hurt and die as they please, and if they want a sequel, they reincarnate… This would be easier to write and retain readers who enjoy light novels…
I've finally made it to Emei Mountain!
I think this book is quite good. I came from the "Misguided Path" section, and the protagonist's background is somewhat novel and relatable. It's often like this: the more you pursue something, the less likely you are to get it; conversely, when you stop pursuing it, you often get it—that's fate, I guess. The character portrayals are also good, and the division of realms is well-done.
A good book, actually quite good. I've been reading for about ten years now, usually books by established authors and popular works by top authors. This book is very well-written and I stayed up all night until 10 am to finish it. I hope the author updates frequently! Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง
This is a novice's work, and there are many shortcomings. I hope the experts will forgive me and thank you for your support!
Stop just writing about extraordinary people and events! The journey is full of beautiful landscapes, strange mountains and rivers, and ancient and modern travelogues about various secret places and exotic beasts. Traveling and exploring is extremely interesting.
I came across this book after seeing a recommendation from a reader, and it's indeed quite good. However, the recent chapters about learning magic and fighting swords feel increasingly like the old version of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, and I actually found the earlier chapters about joining Emei more interesting.
Finally arrived at the foot of Mount Emei. Estimated chapters: 50 at the foot of the mountain, 50 halfway up, 50 at the summit, 50 for the apprenticeship ceremony, and after 200 chapters, Lu Xuan will reach the first level of Qi Refining.
It's a very realistic book; the depictions of family and love are all very well done. But I think the best part is that it captures the essence of cultivating immortality. The essence of cultivating immortality is the pursuit of longevity. No matter how righteous it sounds, this goal is inherently selfish.
