A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m
A Booklist for Cool Autumn Days and Falling Leaves&
Autumn is gradually deepening, and the sunlight isn't as bright as it was in early summer. So, are there books just right for reading in autumn? Of course there are. What should you read in autumn? What kinds of books suit the season? In the list owner's opinion, autumn calls for breezy books, namely, feel-good stories. Summer is a good time for fiery plots, while autumn is the season for cool, lighthearted reads that won't feel stuffy.
The Eclectic Book Nook (The Reviews Are Brilliant! Don't Miss Them.)
How does an omnivorous reader survive... I've wanted to put together a reading list for people with eclectic tastes for a long time. The year-end roundup gave me the perfect excuse to organize one. A list of books that omnivorous readers might enjoy. They're all about halfway through.
Random Recommendations 🌹 A Booklist Full of Great Reads! 🌹
In 2026, on an empty recommendation shelf, brand-new books were selected and reviewed by editors before being placed in specific spots. A few days ago, each had been nothing more than an outline of a thousand or so words. From submitting a proposal to editorial review to uploading a new book, it has now become a book with a mind of its own. For all this, we should thank the passage of time in 2026... The passage of time in 2026... A brief, magical stretch of time. She seems to have a spell over
100,000 Whys: A Reading List for Answers!
How can the protagonist still be reborn like this? Why does the male lead get a little monkey just from kissing the female lead? Why is the protagonist of this book still alive? Why would this cannon fodder charge in when he knows the protagonist has become godlike? Why is he trying to solo the Baron? Is he throwing the game? Doesn't he know the protagonist warded the brush.... This world has one great unsolved mystery: “The 100,000 Whys.”
Drifting Duckweed in Troubled Times · 2026
Sometimes the protagonist's world isn't a happy place. There are no beautiful scenes, no fairytale stories or endings. Sometimes I want to give the author a huge tip just to change the plot. But the story always goes in the direction I dread. I value realism, so this list includes stories that aren't perfect. Stories about real worlds and things that could really happen. If you've read these, come by and double-tap that like button!

Yu's Out-of-the-Box Book List!
Think the name of this list is strange? That's right, it's a weird list of fantasy books. These books are wild and imaginative, with smart characters, compelling plots, and a bizarre mix of elements that somehow work together. Doesn't that sound fun? That's the charm of these stories. Enough said, let's get to the recommendations.

Books Worth Reading
I only read completed novels. I would rather read a story with a disappointing ending than one abandoned by its author. I cannot remember the older books for now, so I will leave them out and first add a few I recently finished and still remember.
Books I've Read Over the Years
I once thought I had read a lot of web novels. For a while, I complained every day about having nothing to read. But now that I count them, it seems I have actually read very few, especially since I have struggled to get into books these past few years. Finding a book I can carefully finish reading feels like a kind of happiness.

The Amazing Little White Horse's Book List!
I’ve noticed that there are still unexpected hits in the web-novel world. They may start out looking pretty ordinary, but once they land a recommendation slot, their readership can skyrocket. I’ve been lucky enough to witness a few of these dark horses make their breakthroughs. They got featured five or six times with little buzz, then exploded when they finally got a major recommendation, cementing their place at the top. Even other big-name books I’d had high hopes for couldn’t compare. One ev

Zen and Tea: A Book List
Zen and tea are one: it’s a state of mind. There are web novels that bring Zen and tea together, too. A gentleman is like water. In fiction, that gentleman is Zhu Xian. Gentle as water, Zhang Xiaofan is honest, kind, and hardworking. When his senior sister Tian Ling'er falls in love, he remains pure-hearted and would rather suffer himself than stand in the way of her happiness with their master. It’s touching. Dou Po is the very definition of stubbornness in fiction. There are many more wonderfu

Bookworm Academy
I've been quietly reading, and before I knew it, the end of 2018 was here. The book-list account opened its annual roundup, and this bookworm wanted to look back at the books I loved most this year. Buddha says a flower contains a world, and a tree contains enlightenment. A book list, too, holds a little universe: the universe where this bookworm wanders, a world readers linger in, unable to forget or leave behind. Qidian released many unforgettable books in 2018. I want to gather them all here.
Cherry Blossom Pink, Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moonlight
Like falling snow, the petals drift down in graceful swirls, pink blossoms spreading across the sky. Though the flowers fall, their fragrance remains, wafting into the noses of travelers and filling their hearts with sweetness. Flowers and colorful butterflies dance together through the springtime of youth.

In the past, the first rank was higher than the ninth rank... But in the author's view, the ninth rank is higher than the first? Even in the Tang Dynasty, the first rank was higher, and the ninth rank was the lowest...
After age 30-40, I skipped some parts of the show or didn't watch it at all, for the following reasons. 1. In a high-level martial arts world, develop a card game club. Will this increase productivity or cultivation? 2. The development of the army seems to be entirely controlled by the protagonist. I wonder if any were distributed to other sects? 3. Shouldn't cultivation novels focus on cultivation, building a system of techniques, and then writing a martial arts story?
Many years have passed, and many things have happened. Let's not dwell on the past. Jin Da, don't hide your talents; your brilliance cannot be concealed. I understand your concerns, and I know that things are different now than they used to be. .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. But if you continue at this pace, your results may not be ideal. Let me offer a suggestion. Be a little bolder in some areas.
I'm so happy that Jin Yong is the author of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty"! I loved reading his martial arts novels in junior high school. 🙂
Classic book launches, new books removed; introductions to older books deleted – thanks to the author for personally helping readers avoid pitfalls.
Around 2012, I read the serialized version of *The Legend of the Great Tang Dynasty* in a martial arts magazine. Later, in high school, I suddenly remembered it, dug out the magazine, and became increasingly curious about whether Zheng Dongting actually went up to fight. So I found the three physical books of *The Legend of the Great Tang Dynasty* online and read them all.
Without concrete visual references, the card games in your book feel a bit self-indulgent. They're described as incredibly impressive, but I didn't really get a feel for them because the visuals are unclear. I suggest adding a projection device similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! To make the card games more fun and immersive for the reader. Otherwise, it feels a bit awkward. Anyway, the protagonist's rune abilities are already off the charts, so creating this little gadget shouldn't be a problem.
As we progressed into the later stages, the power levels completely collapsed. Every villain was a ninth-rank character; there were only nine ninth-rank characters in the entire Tang Dynasty. But once they arrived in Europe, a random assassin could easily be four or five ninth-rank characters, and the protagonist directly subdued six ninth-rank characters, not to mention other ninth-rank…
I don't know if it's because I'm too restless now, but I just can't concentrate on reading anymore. If the first chapter isn't anything special, I won't even turn to the second.
It's disgusting that you can't level up without accumulating merit. If you couldn't ascend without merit, I could understand; after all, people in the immortal realm usually assess character before immigrating. But it's strange that you can't cultivate (exercise) without doing good deeds.
