A Daily Must-Read for Single Folks

The protagonists all have their heads on straight, and the plots make sense. These are easy and enjoyable to read, with both male- and female-oriented novels~~ I'm seriously running out of things to read lately. Anyone have a genuinely good book to recommend, one worth saving to my library?!

The Dao Lord blocks the way, the Demon Lord steals the prize, the Saintess breaks off the engagement, and even an ordinary body can become an Overlord Body. Heaven an

A voracious reader for ten years. I read just about everything, but lean toward xianxia, xuanhuan, historical fiction, and fan fiction.

A Decade of Picks, Mostly Speculative Fiction, Including Fantasy and More

I've been reading for ten years and come across many excellent works, but it's hard to list them all when recommending books to people. I made this list as a reminder and for recommendations. I mainly feature completed novels, but I'll also include excellent ongoing works and even abandoned ones.
