No Beginners, Please: A Veteran Reader's Picks
If you’re a beginner who likes satisfying stories, face-slapping, broken engagements, and the like, don’t read this! This list isn’t for you! There’s no excessive wish fulfillment here; only carefully crafted plots can move me. I update the list from time to time. There are relatively few fantasy and cultivation novels, and more historical ones. I’m sticking to quality over quantity, even if that means catering to a niche.
The Ones Still on My Bookshelf
The books I keep on my shelf are simply a matter of personal taste. Some deserve careful reading, while others are best enjoyed without overthinking. I don't make a habit of copying introductions, nor do I rate books. Usually I just write down a few thoughts about them whenever I feel like it.

These are all good Honglou fanfics.

The list owner has realized they're basically a couch potato. I haven't touched this list in four or five months. The friends who started it with me now have three or four thousand followers, while I've dropped to just over 400. (Sob.) I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to manage the list. I'm checking in today to recommend a few promising new novels. These are books I'm reading now or have already read. Please give them a follow. I never recommend trash, and I leave out anything I

The beginning was well-written, especially the part about the scholars; however, the storyline about Qiao Jie was too distracting, and I couldn't continue watching whenever she appeared.
It's highly toxic. Not only is the author cramming in a lot of personal bias, but the three-year-old Qiao Jie'er is also acting like a tyrant, more mature than adults! She can see through all sorts of conspiracies and schemes! It must be a story by a top female author!
Everyone thinks Qiao Jie is an idiot—yes. You should all have noticed... Jia Lian is the ideal male protagonist: powerful, rich, loves his wife and children, and can criticize whomever he wants, not to mention that in historical novels he runs banks, factories, and colonizes the world! Qiao Jie is a typical female protagonist in a female-oriented novel.
The author is having a blast with so much personal stuff coming up.
Could you please remove 99% of Qiao Jie's scenes?
This is the first novel in years that truly satirizes Grandmother Jia and expels Jia Zheng's family without any unnecessary fuss. Other novels just rehash the palace intrigue, which is utterly unsatisfying. But I really dislike the character of Qiao Jie in this book, especially the Daiyu subplot. I wish they were all dead. As long as I escape these rotten relatives and live my own life, who cares if the Crimson Pearl Fairy lives or dies? It's none of my business. I'm not a pedophile.
😰Those who say it's good, oh my god, it's really addictive.
I finally found a story where the protagonist doesn't fawn over Lin Daiyu, but then they introduce a time-traveling daughter who fawns over Lin Daiyu. What's the difference between that and the protagonist fawning over her? In the end, isn't it the protagonist who helps her? Also, I don't know what the author was thinking, making the protagonist's daughter a time traveler.
A good book is one that you can savor.
The author is very similar to another author, Gray-Headed Little Treasure. Gao Yanei is lonely and neurotic; no one understands him. As long as people follow his instructions step by step, the Song Dynasty will survive. The ending is not good.
The character of Qiao Jie is the worst part of this book.
