Mainly New Finds: Black Tech, Super Technology, Urban Entertainment, and New Books Scouted Across the Charts

Books are generally added to this list before they reach 300,000 words. Books under a million words that go without updates for over a week will be removed. I mainly browse the urban and sci-fi sections. I occasionally read historical fiction and soccer stories. By urban fiction, I mean stories set in the modern world or something similar. I generally skip pseudo-urban stories that could just as easily be classified as fantasy or xuanhuan. For sci-fi, I mainly look for super technology, black te

A Vast Library Through the Ages: Great Reads of Every Kind, Plus Self-Recommendations and Promising Newcomers

Some books are wonderfully written but hardly known, buried in the endless sea of novels. It's a real shame. This list is dedicated to finding excellent stories across all kinds of genres. I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves.

[Male-Oriented] Carefully Curated and Categorized

Every book has its own unique style. It might be right for you, or it might be right for someone else, but there's always a book you'll love. Each section of this list is carefully sorted and curated, with popular and fresh topics grouped together. Note: I've been busy finding and subscribing to books over the past few years, and somehow ended up with several thousand. Most of them are unread, so it'll take a while to organize everything. I'll add more details later.

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No System, Just Smart Characters

These days, if a novel's protagonist hasn't been reborn, transmigrated to another world, or been given a System or a wise old mentor in their pocket, they can hardly look anyone in the eye. Stories with any of those three things can seem fresh and fun at first, but after a while they get tiresome. Just look at the titles of new releases: Reborn as XXX, Transmigrated as XXX, The XXX System. I mostly ignore books with those tropes. They're all pretty much the same, and it's hard to find a new twis
