A Great Variety of Good Reads, Something for Everyone, All Read and Loved
Ten years of little traces left by the web novels I’ve come across since first stepping onto this one-way road.
My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
Handma's Reading List
Please follow and save this list! ... Many of these books are completed, because waiting for updates is painful. Qidian books are usually great early on, then tend to go off the rails later. Our motto: don’t waste your money! (Though I can’t help it either.) ... The biggest problem with mainstream genre fiction is that it can’t write romance. I haven’t seen a book on Qidian that gives its heroine real depth. Could Qidian start a writing workshop? Have the site’s editors teach the classes: theory
My Personal Reading List

Worth a Read
The books on this list aren't ranked. They're listed according to when I read them and the impression they left on me. Finally, thanks to everyone who has followed, commented, or sent flowers. I hope my humble opinions can inspire you all.
Books I've Finished
Recommended by a reader of twenty years who's finished every book here. There are all kinds of genres, so feel free to check them out. I'll keep adding more!
Books That Seem Interesting (Especially Recommended Fanfiction Like Swallowed Star and Panlong)
Some novels that seem interesting, though the writing may not be that good.
Mental Stockpile
One good book can make you forget sleep, hunger, video games, and dating. Stack up enough good books, and you won’t need to sleep at night. There are always classic books you’ll read from cover to cover more than once, and stories and characters worth revisiting and savoring. Once time has settled the clamor of the world, these books will make your reading life feel wonderfully peaceful and fulfilling.
Stories That Touch the Heart
Writing isn't about achieving greatness. I just hope to hold back mediocrity... I only recommend works that feel heartfelt to me. Nothing else matters. A book's success doesn't necessarily mean it'll stand the test of time. A truly good book not only helps you pass the time, but also leaves you with insights and a deeper understanding after you finish it. Reading should be a chance to relax and learn. I'm definitely not just going through the motions to promote my own work! Readers and authors

To be honest, in my heart, Panlong was the pinnacle of its time! It couldn't even compare to Shuidou's Doupo. Even now, in 2020, it can still be called a classic!
I'm back again! This is my sixth time watching it. The first time I watched it, I was in the first year of junior high school. Anyone else like me?
I first encountered this book in 2011 and read five chapters. Then, only now have I remembered to continue reading—nine years! Nine years I've missed. I hope this book won't disappoint me. Posting here 🙂: 2020, here I come!
I'm currently experiencing a reading slump, so I picked up this book from 2008 and reread it. Turns out, *Panlong* from 2008 is better than 99% of the books written now. It's quite frustrating. Most books nowadays have forced, brainless villains and awkwardly written plots, while older books have sound settings and logic.
I read this book in 2008, and it was a pirated copy. I always felt that it wouldn't be right not to subscribe to such a good book, but I was a student at the time and didn't have much money. So I secretly vowed that I would definitely subscribe to the whole book when I was able to. Today is April 15, 2018. Almost ten years later, I have finally fulfilled my promise.
Panlong, I feel it's the most amazing book in the online novel world. Its release ended an entire genre; Western fantasy has since existed only in our memories. Later, any authors who wanted to write Western fantasy turned to Panlong fanfiction. So many years have passed, and Western fantasy is clearly just barely surviving!
Panlong is probably the pinnacle of Tomato's writing. His later works became increasingly weak, and I haven't read any of Tomato's books in a long time.
I vaguely remember that the regret this book left me with was that he didn't truly become a Great Perfection Supreme God, but instead took a shortcut, relying on soul mutation. Even though he was only one law away from fully comprehending it, he still didn't succeed. In the end, he also relied on a shortcut to become a controller. At the time, I really hoped he would achieve Great Perfection combined with soul mutation; his power would be doubled!
I've read Panlong several times; Lin Lei is forever a god. In my opinion, Panlong is Tomato's best novel (this is just my opinion, please don't criticize if you disagree).
Thoughts after watching Panlong again~ The road to the top was insane, a legendary journey fraught with peril and death. This book has a clear setting, the story is not particularly complicated, the narration is smooth yet full of suspense, the structure is tight, and it closely revolves around the main plot with few side quests, making it a model of slimming and fitness. It truly deserves to be called a classic online novel!
