No Fake-Review Dogs Series
Books I've Read
Don't make the same mistake twice.
Interesting Books with Distinctive Takes and No System
Books I'm currently reading that I find interesting, aren't dumbed down, and don't have a System. All kinds of genres. Updated regularly!
Tales of the Strange
Mostly supernatural fiction, like fantasy and dark fairy tales. There are quite a few obscure novels here. I have pretty particular tastes, but I'll recommend books I think are well-written and better than average. I can be picky, so don't be surprised if I drop a book. The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant
Brilliantly Written, but Abandoned at the Worst Possible Moment
Excellent writing · abandoned · an unresolved heartbreak

I don't write reviews, I just recommend books. You have to read them yourself to know if they're right for you.
Bookshop: Detailed Reviews, Irregular Updates, Mostly Promising Newcomers
I'm a longtime reader and update this list from time to time with books I enjoy, both old and new. I'll finish every book I recommend and give it a detailed review of my own. For anything I haven't finished yet, I'll update the review once I do. Feel free to bookmark the list.
Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.
Repurpose Monsters, Cook Ghosts and Demons, Raise Insects and Refine Gu
Ghost soldiers and underworld enforcers, building infrastructure in the netherworld, corpse-chasing along the Yellow Springs, making ghost-item cards, cultivating with soul banners, necromancers... I love stories where threats to mortals and the corpses or souls of enemies are put to use. There's a satisfying joy in recycling what's otherwise useless. Building the Yellow Springs and the underworld is another kind of fun infrastructure project.
For Personal Use | Xianxia, Fantasy, Wuxia, Light Novels, and a Little History and Mystery
Since someone actually reads these, I’ll give them a proper introduction. This is a purely subjective list, so don’t get hung up on the ratings. /Selection criteria: Promising new books, by big-name authors or newcomers alike. I only care whether I like them. I’ll update my reviews as new books build up a backlog. (Assuming I remember.) A few older books I like (very few). I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date. I’ll specifically mark the ones I’ve forgotte
An Old Bookworm's Reading List
I only recommend books I've read. I prefer DND, historical, and urban fiction. 1. I have high standards for the author's writing. 2. I expect the settings and basic facts in a story to make sense. 3. I have fairly high standards for the plot. 4. I absolutely can't stand idiotic characters. Overall, my recommendations focus on four aspects: writing, characters, plot, and setting, followed by an overall recommendation. Sometimes I like a book because of its author, not the work itself.
Fresh and Interesting Reads
I like distinctive protagonists. Most have no romance. A record of books I've read.

I Like Multiple Partners and Read Lots of Newcomers
Pretty much all of these are readable books.
Immortal Spirit Qi
Stories fill these books, more than anyone could count.
Pearls from the Canghai, Jade from Lantian
A longtime bookworm of over ten years. Not a fan of System or golden finger stories, and I don’t read dark fiction. I prefer cultivation, fantasy, and high fantasy, with some urban and historical fiction mixed in.

Dear readers, please like and comment on this post recommending "The Painter of Demons". There's a chance I might get a Silver Alliance reward. Thank you!
Why are all the readable books like "Gu Huo Niao" and "Hua Yao Shi" so bad? Only "Di Sha" is still updating, but it's so slow. The only readable book currently being updated is "Wu Zei's" new book. Guys, can you recommend some novels? Any genre is fine.
Regarding the latest update
Little Dove's mother is hospitalized, and Little Dove is taking care of her. Updates won't be as frequent, so please don't rush her lately. Thank you for your understanding! 🙂
I think this is one of the best books I've read on Qidian. The story flows smoothly, the writing is elegant and unpretentious, and the overall style truly achieves a tranquil and refined feel while still providing plenty of exciting moments. The logic is self-consistent, making it extremely comfortable to read.
This is the first time I've written a proper book review on Qidian. I didn't find the author's previous book, "The Alchemy Notebook," very good; it just felt like a slightly better work in the Western fantasy genre (though it was actually quite good). But *The Painter of Demons* feels completely different. From what I've read so far, the story and writing are both excellent.
This is a chibi version of the male protagonist I drew while slacking off in class. Author, keep up the good work! The story is great, but I just can't get enough of it! 😭
Fellow readers, do you have any good book recommendations? Ideally, they'd be excellently written and logically sound. Like *The Painter of Demons*, *The Immortal's Profession*, *Under Heaven*, *The Immortal's Profession*, *Controlling Evil*... Are there any other books with good writing and a slightly artsy feel?
