I think these are pretty good. Give them a try! I’ll update and clean up the list from time to time.
Reading in Peace
I was delighted when I happened to find out I could create a book list. Every book suits a certain kind of reader. I don’t need mindless stories or harems. Finding a book that feels like mine in this sea of stories lets me escape into another world anytime, anywhere, like enjoying a warm cup of afternoon tea. Rated out of three stars: three stars means a classic, one star means decent, and two stars falls in between. I’ll slowly add new books. Why slowly? I’m picky about what I like, or, as you’
Books I've Read That Were Pretty Good, Solid Reads and Hidden Gems
Mostly anime-inspired fiction, fan fiction, fantasy, game stories, wuxia, xianxia, and historical fiction. I've been into this stuff for a long time, with nearly twelve years of reading under my belt. I started reading novels in middle school, so I'm a seasoned old bookworm by now. No mindless wish-fulfillment novels or overpowered hero stories, please. I often forget to update the list ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)
Food for the Mind
I've tested every one of these, and they're all delightful
Notes from the Azure Sky
I keep an eye on promising new authors and remove their books if I can't get into them. I recommend books I've bought in full, and drop them if I can't keep reading. I don't add older books I already know well.

On the feasibility of copying poems in ancient times
On the feasibility of copying poems in ancient times You quietly open your eyes and find yourself in the Tang Dynasty. Wanting to make a name for yourself through poetry, the Tang Dynasty is the best place for you. People there are open and passionate; women wear revealing tops without hesitation. You're confident you could become a prince consort or something.
They actually let Lin Daiyu marry Jia Baoyu, that good-for-nothing who only knows how to flirt and run away.
This is too toxic. I thought it was a fictional historical drama that used the shell of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to attract readers, but in fact the author may really want to fight against red wine to the end. The beginning was alright, but the poison started spreading as soon as they entered the Rongguo Mansion.
Why can't she just write a good version of Dream of the Red Chamber? Why does she have to try to dominate the world? I just don't understand!
Even the prefaces written by great historians are grand and magnificent! Your preface could easily be written as a masterpiece about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. I really don't have high hopes for alternate history! 😰😰😰
I originally came for Lin Daiyu, but the writer abandoned her. I'm outta here.
Is this protagonist a womanizer? Does he want to take everyone in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, except for Granny Jia and Granny Liu, as his concubine? He keeps mentioning other men's wives; he's definitely a relative of incestuous lovers—not a single one of him is innocent.
This book was a poisonous plant disguised as food; it has been discarded. I'm out of ideas, so I just keep illogically creating trouble for the protagonist. I'm fed up. He's pointlessly offending people and getting involved in messy situations with Wang Ziteng during his inspection tour. The protagonist's character isn't even as well-developed as a supporting character like Xue Pan.
This book is realistically written. Even if Lin Daiyu had married Jia Baoyu and the Jia family hadn't been raided, she probably would have ended up the same way. Her frail health would have made childbirth difficult, and without family support, she would likely have suffered mistreatment.
Of the ten most awkward situations in the world, you alone have eight.
