Great Books That Keep You Turning the Pages
Books I can't wait to read in one sitting, with none that make me want to give up halfway through. The list may be short, but every title is one I've read myself and want to share. I hope to make this a list of women's fiction classics.
The Miscellaneous Book Corner
These are all books I really enjoy, across a wide range of genres. Overall, though, most have interesting plots, with fantasy and historical fiction being the most common.
Keepsakes of Time
A personal collection of books I have read in recent years. Mainly protagonists focused on their careers, with romance as a secondary element. Career-focused, slice-of-life, and no-romance works are included. I reject domineering CEOs, Mary Sues, palace intrigue, household intrigue, and stallion novels. I like protagonists who are firm and rational, self-reliant and strong. Both female-oriented and male-oriented novels are included, across all kinds of genres.
Plot-Focused, No CP: No Female or Male Lead, or a Single Female Lead
Personal taste, and a pretty broad range of genres. In plot-driven stories, I don't like romance subplots or all that will-they-won't-they stuff, with endless scenes about who likes whom. When it's not written clearly, it just feels like padding.
Bai Lan's [Books I've Personally Tested] List
This is my personal reading list, shared in the hope that anyone in a reading slump can find a book to their taste. Mostly no-CP and no male lead. When there's a male lead, the protagonist's intelligence tends to go missing, so I usually skip those. A few have couples, but the female leads stay smart. I've read every book here myself; I don't recommend books I haven't read. I've taste-tested them for you, so read with confidence~*^o^* (If you're extremely picky and don't like the list, just move

🍁 “Zhu Rou” 🍁 🍁 “Zhu Rou” 🍁 📓📓 Genre-specific list, all historical romance 🌱🌱 Supporting new works, mostly ongoing As the saying goes: There are good holes to fall into everywhere. Why pine for just one pit? A true reader, even after being abandoned in a pit, is never afraid to jump into another! Just when you're most engrossed in a story, the author suddenly abandons you in the pit. I think every Qidian reader has a story like this. Beating your chest, going berserk and flipping the table, c
❤️ A Magical No-CP Reading Room ❤️ Male- and Female-Oriented Fiction Welcome
💟 Hua Ji's Reading List 💟 🎈 Only recommending stories with no male or female lead ☯ I also recommend promising new novels 🎉 Well (ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ I basically only recommend novels I've read 🎊 Please don't recommend stories with couples Especially harem stories 🐴 To be honest, I only started reading no-CP stories after harem novels poisoned me beyond repair (I even wrote a whole essay about it, qwq). I proudly fly the no-CP flag 🚩 💝 I just remembered I've been a little bookworm for five years now (⑉°з°)-♡

🇨🇳Seriously Talking Nonsense💞
☞ Books for men and women ☜ All welcome 💋💋💋 Thanks to everyone who's sent flowers 🌻🌻🌻 I really don't know how to write reviews 😰😭 Lately I've been reading finished books from my backlog. I just don't have the motivation to follow ongoing stories, sigh! This list is simply a collection of books I've read at least part of and enjoyed, including works by authors I've read and liked in the past. So it's strongly shaped by my personal taste and may be a bit niche. If you happen to come across my list

Quality Books With No Male Lead
My time and perspective are limited, so I sincerely welcome recommendations from fellow readers, as well as authors promoting their own work. Let's fill out this list so more readers with similar tastes can quickly find books they like. The books on this list will be adjusted from time to time based on reader ratings 👍.
Great Ongoing Novels with Female Leads
Please add this list to your favorites, and send flowers. This list was originally meant to round up good female-lead stories from 2018, but many of the ongoing novels have since finished, so I moved them to genre lists or my main list. These days, it’s mostly for ongoing stories I like. I’m especially fond of historical romance, quick transmigration, and apocalypse stories.

A cartoon portrait my roommate drew for my daughter.
Haha, I thought it was pretty good at first. The female lead is actually quite insightful in many ways, and the plot is interesting to follow. It's also rare to see such a truly strong female lead in a female-oriented novel! It's not that no matter how powerful the female lead is, she has to rely entirely on men; it's not that she will die if she doesn't have a man to save her; it's not that she…
Let me clarify first, I am absolutely not criticizing this book. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but it's all too verbose. They explain everything, big or small, even trivial things, and it's repetitive. They use different words to repeat the same meaning, and they spend a lot of time explaining the background, mindset, reasons for actions, and opinions of even people who…

Bonus chapter rules from September 1st to January 31st (2021)
[Bonus Chapter Rules] I will make up for the extra chapters I owe... (Emphasis added) I remember every single one, I really will make it up. (Emphasis added) The author's conscience is bothering them, so any amount less than 10,000 won't be cleared. It will be accumulated and most likely paid off during winter break. Academic workload is too heavy to manage. Sorry!
The female lead is incredibly clever, mastering all the political maneuvering of emperors; it's clear she's put in a lot of effort. There are no nonsensical plot points; every storyline flows smoothly. In short, it's awesome!
