Since discovering online fiction in 2011, I’ve read more than a handful of great books, so I’ve put together this list to share with fellow readers.
Great Stories I've Read Over the Years
I mainly recommend classic, high-quality stories, and I'll add some interesting new books too. Readers are welcome to suggest good books. Include the title and a short recommendation, and I'll add suitable ones to the list. Thanks!

They’re all pretty good books,

Strong Writing, Smart Characters: Bring Your Brain When You Read.
1. Strong writing, and the protagonist, supporting characters, and even passersby all have brains. 2. If you love stories where the hero ruthlessly kills everyone, or The Scarlet Lord, this list may not be for you. Most of these books require you to think and pay attention, or you won't know what's going on. 3. I personally like books with intelligent characters. After all, if you read too many books that require no thought, you'll eventually stop thinking yourself!
A Book Lover's Recommendations for You
At the foot of Mount Luofu, spring lasts through all four seasons; loquats and waxberries ripen one after another. I eat three hundred lychees a day, and would gladly stay in Lingnan forever.
I'm Proud to Be Picky
Keeping a record of the good books I've read. I'm picky, after all.

Decent Enough to Read
I read all kinds of things, since I’m a real bookworm. I started with fantasy, then moved on to urban fiction, sci-fi, romance, palace intrigue, drama, danmei... Eventually I lost track of what I was into. I just drop books that bore me after a few chapters. Usually, I can predict what happens in the next several chapters, or even the ending, after reading just one. I skip brainless harem stories outright. There can’t possibly be that many women around; it feels like a stud surrounded by a whole

A Veteran Reader's Book Vault
A seasoned reader’s picks. I add good books here to recommend them.
Wuxia Storm
The world of martial arts is made up of people, and everyone in it chooses to hide who they are, revealing only what others want to see. Some say the jianghu isn't about fighting, but about human relationships and worldly affairs. Others say there is no right or wrong in the jianghu, only pure self-interest. But there are always a few who are different. They don't care about human relationships because they're powerful, and they don't care about profit because they're still the young men they on
As Long as I'm Happy
⊙∀⊙! There's nothing much to introduce! I recommend books purely according to my personal mood and interests. Read them if you're interested, and move along if you're not. Reading is purely a personal hobby anyway. As long as I'm happy, that's enough. Someone recommended a book about bugs in the comments. The first chapter seemed pretty good at first, but I'm scared! Even paranormal novels don't scare me this much! Please don't recommend books with insects as protagonists, and don't recommend an
For Seasoned Readers Only: Smart Characters, No Harem, No Overpowered Heroes, A Rich Cast
I selected these from roughly two hundred books, each over two million words, that I found in various ways. Starting from my personal preferences, I savored the plot, characters, and the knowledge and learning expressed through each author's words. They are all highly readable, worthwhile books.

He claimed to be retiring from the martial world, but the moment he stepped out, he provoked the number one gang in the land. For someone who so desperately wants to retire, killing is the most foolish thing to do. Since the first group had already obtained the Heavenly Decree, all he needed to do was scare them away. Killing them only led to another wave of them.
The content of the rant post
The protagonist is the leader of a demonic sect. After his wife died, he faked his death and retired, opening an inn in Jinling and spending his days visiting brothels. The protagonist has the strongest fighting ability, but lacks experience and knowledge. His movement skills are poor, and his perception is even worse.
Goodness, I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. This book is an original work that borrows heavily from various martial arts novels, including "My Own Swordsman," Jin Yong's works, and "The Storm Riders." The "My Own Swordsman" style is particularly prominent and well-executed; it's very interesting and vivid. However, I hope the author won't overuse the same plot tropes, as it can lead to reader fatigue. Keep it up!

Hello author, I'm just an ordinary reader, and I'm sharing some thoughts with you on the way home after dropping my child off at school. First of all, your novel is very funny, bringing a lot of laughter to my child and me on our daily commute home and to school. Thank you. It's also because of your humor that I started listening to it for my child.
The content doesn't match the title. If you're looking for a relaxing, farming-themed story, you can skip this. After reading 10 chapters, the protagonist, instead of taking a break, starts his old ways again, engaging in ruthless murder and cover-up. It's a waste of the title; it should be called "After Faking My Death as the Leader of a Demonic Sect, I Opened an Inn but Unexpectedly Got Caught in the Conflicts of the Martial World Again."
Idiom Chain
How can a proper book club not have an idiom chain game? I'll start: The strong prey on the weak.
😟 I saved this for a long time and finished reading it in no time. The author is still as short and weak as I remember.
I've read about ten chapters and feel it's a real shame. The author's word choice and sentence structure are quite skillful, enough to make a good book. But the level of pretentiousness is really lacking. I've read countless stories about pretentiousness, and pretentiousness requires skill.
