A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi
A Reading Nook for Old Bookworms
Made especially for veteran readers
Great Reads Set in the City
This list features urban supernatural powers, reborn protagonists, Systems, and funny everyday stories. This is a list focused on urban fiction, so please don't recommend other genres.
Impossible to Stop Reading!!!
A reader's inner world is lonely. Through the long hours spent reading, it's just you and yourself. I hope this list can be of some help to everyone.
Snack Base
Here you'll find promising new books that explore new worlds Here you'll find horror Here you'll find fantasy Here you'll find fantastical adventures And anime-inspired stories... Plenty of great picks with good writing The authors are all stuck in the pits of their own books, waiting for you to fall in with me
Books I've Followed Along the Way
I only recommend novels after I've read them, and most of them have a lot of chapters. I rarely recommend new books unless the author's writing, word choice, and plot are all solid. Masterpieces that kept me company through countless nights and days. Most are older books. This list is really for me to revisit someday! I'll update it whenever I have time.
The Blade God's Own List
Come on over to my bookshop, the Blade God’s list. Pick what you like and love what you love. Each kind of book has its own rules, so there’s bound to be something that suits you.
Books Followed by a Veteran Bookworm
I’ve been reading web novels legally for sixteen years. I’ve read every genre except supernatural fiction. I’m very picky, so I hardly ever read formulaic stories, and I won’t bother with anything that isn’t good.
A Game Is Like a Life, but a Book Is a Whole World
Just looking for books that are satisfying, fun, and easy on the stomach. I’ve tried countless duds and am immune to them all now! I started with online gaming novels, then read Blasphemy and discovered Jiang Nan’s books. Reading Rise of the Dragon Path introduced me to Xue Hong. Reborn: The Business and Officialdom, a rebirth novel, and the political novels Riding the Tide and The Leader were all astonishing. Juan Tu’s mind-bending stories are great, and there are plenty of excellent infinite-f
I Just Want to Read Quietly Without Falling for the Usual Tricks
Read books with real flavor.
If You Don’t Push the Tower, We’re Not Letting You Play!
Hahahahahaha.
Books I Can Keep Reading
These are books I'm following or have just finished. I recommend them to everyone.
The Dome Bookstore
A lot of the books on this list are ones I really enjoy. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so there's a bit of everything: history, xianxia, fantasy, urban life, short stories, and more. Ahem, some were recommended by friends, but I'll always read a chapter or two before adding them. If they're too awful, they won't make the list. (No horror or supernatural stories, please.) I'll be adding some novels I've been reading lately.
No Toxic Content, Just Books I Like, All Top-Quality
After reading for so many years, I figured I should share the books I like with everyone. I’ve reread all of these, and there’s a bit of everything. I’m not into formulaic books. If I wanted a formula, I could read the classics. I just want something light and relaxing. I don’t care about plausibility; I just want to unwind.

Handpicked Classics, Must-Reads
Sometimes, spending a little time following a few novels is all it takes to feel content... Sometimes, spending a little time looking for a few novels is all it takes to feel content... Sometimes, if you take a little time, you'll realize just how many novels have given us wonderful stories and so many memories. Collecting, following updates, tipping, voting, and reaching the end are all part of the fun. It's a pleasure we earn by spending our time. I hope this list makes you happy. Looking f
Do Books Everyone Knows Really Need Recommending?
Do books everyone already knows about really need recommendations? I try not to recommend books from the popular charts. I've been an avid reader for seven years, trying new books every day. I only read the opening chapters before recommending a book, so if it gets bad later on, don't blame me.
Qidian Library
If it's published by Qidian, it's bound to be a gem.
Picks: Well-Written Stories with Sound Logic
No idiotic characters or absurd power-ups, with a well-structured system and sound logic.
Great Books Worth Reading
Every genre is represented. Some were abandoned midway, but they’re all worth a read.
Ya Jun’s Book List
I got into web novels with A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality and followed so many classics. I'm really in a reading slump! Every time I finish a book, I regret that there's one fewer great book left for me to read.

I've liked all the posts! Come like my post too! 😎
I'm reserving this spot. I'm really curious about how old everyone who's been reading Lao Mao's books all this time is. I'll go first, I'm 99! What about you guys? So curious! →_→
I've been on Qidian for over a decade now, and I've long lost the enthusiasm for voting. But when I see another great work from a top author, I quickly pull myself together and offer 15 votes every day.
I'm the 1245th person to receive the flower hat in 1979 🤭🤭🤭. Can I get a premium one? I haven't enjoyed it yet. Wishing you a huge success with your new book!
Five votes a day, every single day. Requesting this post to be featured.
Benefits! How come you've lost them?
Old Mao's books are meant to be read slowly and savored, but even reading several chapters a day isn't enough to satisfy my craving! Letting them accumulate means losing a lot of recommendation votes, a dilemma! I hope he writes well and updates consistently!
Gengsu went to Africa to sketch, Grilled Fish went back to cultivating immortality, Octopus became Pigsy, Common Man never goes back in time, Regan rewrote history, Principal is said to be retiring from writing soon, Chang Shuxin switched to making TV dramas, Lu Xun and Wang Xiaobo are both dead...
First blood secured! 😍😍😍
Let's talk about why Ji Mo has the final say in the security team.
Last night, Lao Mao said he was going to work overtime, and it took him ages to update. I'm just posting this out of boredom. From the current worldview, Emperor Wu was amazing; he actually conquered Siberia, and his descendants managed to hold it off, avoiding being driven back by nomads or hunter-gatherers.
