My Notes
My reading list, my opinions.
New Buds, Wild Ideas, Thrills, Tight Logic, and Cool-Headed Protagonists
Mostly new books by established authors, so quality is assured. I’ve been reading for over a decade and have very particular tastes. To me, a good book must first and foremost make sense, then it needs an unusual premise and a smooth flow of satisfying moments. I’ve read at least 900 books, if not a thousand. I know the big-name and lesser-known authors, and every genre, inside out. At this point, I can read a couple of pages of a novel and already know where the plot is going. This list doesn’t
No Harem, Reasonable Protagonist
No harems, and the stories tend to be more rational. I'm not very good at writing reviews, so I probably won't have comments for most of the books.
No Mindless Power-Ups: A Haven for Plot-Driven Reads
Only collecting top-tier xianxia stories with great plots! The list is full. Each week, I'll move the book with the fewest likes to the comments section. Moved to the comments section: 1. Death University

Excellent Xianxia Novels with Plenty to Read: Must-Reads for Veteran Bookworms
I try to recommend books that aren't popular. ﹋o﹋ Honestly, it's hard to decide. Some books stop being obscure once they hit a million words. Sigh. Novels under a million words aren't satisfying to read, but with most novels over a million words, I don't really care how they continue. Of course, that's just based on my own experience, and it's also how I choose books for this list. No matter how good a book is, I won't recommend it unless I'm sure it will exceed a million words. Haha. (๑ºั╰╯ºั๑)

Books that left a lasting impression.
Popular Science 👁 Plot-Driven 👁 Traditional Style 👁
Everyone's time is precious, so we should get something out of the books we read. Maybe it's knowledge, maybe it's emotion, maybe it's pure enjoyment. This list carefully selects top-tier gems and uniquely compelling stories, focusing mainly on three kinds of works: 👁️ [Knowledge] Rather than reading just to kill time, I prefer stories that save time. I look for writing that offers interesting knowledge or a unique perspective, so I can show off when I go out (just kidding). Of course, it has to
Wild Ideas, Endless Creativity!
This list has been revamped, with many less-followed and abandoned novels recently removed. I only recommend novels with truly original ideas. The list is full, so I'll start moving some less popular picks to the comments.
The Ultimate Reading List Worth Staying Up All Night For
[Important] Click Old Chai's profile to see his main book list, with 30,000 followers. The main list is even better. Haha, I've wanted to put together a list of the works I found most interesting in 2018 for a long time. Thanks to Qidian for giving me the chance. [Important] Everyone, be sure to save this list! Tap the little star at the bottom of the screen and turn it red to save the list. Don't follow me personally instead! Here's a little about why I made this list. 1. Since this is a list
Books With Great Ensemble Casts!
I've noticed that novels that write even the supporting characters well are often really enjoyable. Say goodbye to lonely journeys focused only on the protagonist! I only recommend stories with great supporting characters! I only recommend stories with great supporting characters! I only recommend stories with great supporting characters!

(A Qidian-verified reading list. Please follow! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹) A personal record of the books I've browsed. Fellow readers, feel free to follow. Haha.
Books with Outstanding Plots
I've revamped the list and settled on a theme: new genres that are most worth trying right now. Suggestions are welcome! The list is full, so I'll soon move some older books with fewer followers to the comments section. If you see a book you like on the list, please be sure to give it a like, or one day you may only find it in the comments...
🌱A Girl Who Loves Male-Oriented Fiction🌱
I've nearly finished all the old books. Time to try some new ones!
Books I'll Never Forget
I spend late nights bent over my desk, writing my dreams. Apart from my own work, the books below are ones that left a deep impression on me. If you enjoy the same kind of thing, give my writing a try.
Sifting Through the Sands for Hidden Gems: Recommending Niche Reads
A casual selection of works, most of them from quite a few years ago. New readers may not know them, but it would be a shame to let these hidden gems gather dust. Good books can always stand the test of time.
A Mountain Need Not Be Tall to Be Famous, If Immortals Dwell There; A Book Need Not Be Many, Just Good 😊😊
I've carefully picked these enjoyable xianxia novels from a sea of books. (~￣▽￣)~ I'm starting to think I'm pretty capable 😄😄 I focus on recommending good xianxia novels. They're all books I found worthwhile, with sensible plots, solid writing, and enough substance to appeal beyond beginners. 😙😙 Send flowers 🌸🌸🌸 They say it makes you more handsome.
(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ Here’s a Heap of Great Books for You, Catch!
I've been reading for about as long as I've been alive. Among readers, people like me are rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns (*`へ´*) And I'm one of them. Here are some recommendations. A book's quality has nothing to do with its fame. This list has successful commercial hits by big-name authors as well as excellent books by writers who focus on their craft instead of chasing the market. Follow the list if you like what you see. (~￣▽￣)~
Fight On: A Passionate Reading List
Mainly recommending xianxia and military fiction. I'll gradually add other genres later.
The Immortal Heroes of My Heart
Recommending some worthwhile cultivation fantasy novels.
A Cup of Fine Tea and a Great Book
I'm afraid these good books will be forgotten, so I'm keeping a list to remember them.
Authors with a Style All Their Own
I crossed the Ying River on a journey through the immortal realms, And visited a hidden sage alongside Yuan Jun. These are all wonderful books that left a deep impression on me.
An Old Bookworm's Premium Reading List
I'm well past forty, and this is just for my own enjoyment. I'll add new works whenever I have time.
Books with Valiant Supporting Characters, Caring and Tenacious Leads, and Twisty, Unclichéd Plots
Online novels seem to be getting more and more extreme....

Although this is the first time I've read a book by this author, I find it truly enjoyable. The author has a solid foundation, excellent writing skills, and vividly portrays the characters with just a few strokes. I couldn't put it down! If I can keep reading until it's published, I'll earn 50 cents! Keep going!!!
Regarding the name "Maima" (this is very important; it is recommended to read it before proceeding).
Many readers have questioned the name of the protagonist, Wu Ma. There are two main viewpoints. First, the surname Wu did not exist during the Tang Dynasty, and the author did not even check the information, so the author's attitude towards writing the book must have been unserious. Secondly, the name is terrible, or overly fancy and off-putting.

I have no story, I didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam, I don't have an incurable disease, I don't herd sheep, my legs aren't broken, I don't raise turtles or dogs, I don't ride pigs to the battlefield, and I sing "Miss Don't Cry" in karaoke. I'm just an extremely ordinary person! I'm simply here to get likes! I want 200 likes, that's how arrogant I am, and it's even copied.
Although this is the first time I've read this author's book, I still have to say that it is absolutely the best book I've ever read. The protagonist is bursting with a sense of justice and has a steady personality. In particular, his six wives are all beautiful and have given birth to more than thirty children. They are truly role models for us all.
If the third female lead is Princess Pingyang, then she must have been married to Chai Shao for several years now, a true mature and sophisticated wife.
Well, I started reading this book one afternoon and stayed up until 2:30 in the morning. By the end, I was completely captivated by the characters and the plot. I desperately wanted Ah Xue and Wu Ma to meet again on the rain-soaked streets of Yangzhou; I desperately wanted Qing Xia's soul to come back to life and whisper in Wu Ma's ear, "Jian Xue can't beat me"; I desperately wanted to see how…
The author seems to be a thoughtful, handsome person whose profile picture exudes a domineering aura. 🤫🤫
Can a long-time reader tell me how often the author updates? I've been waiting for this book to finish (I've already subscribed to all chapters), but I still feel it's too short—only 150 chapters. I'm thinking of waiting until winter break to read it (I'm a high school sophomore and my phone has to be handed in). My friends all say it's good, but with such slow updates, I'm worried the book might die out. Really?
