A God-Tier Reading List for When You're Out of Books!
Genres covered: fantasy, sci-fi, military, and urban fiction, including System novels, post-apocalyptic stories, medicine, card games, farming, soft and hard sci-fi, police and military, war, and more. New and established authors alike are welcome, as long as the book suits my taste. I recently cleared out more than 200 books from my backlog and am slowly rebuilding it. There are only two standards for inclusion: either it's well-written, or it's fairly average but makes for decent light readin
🔥Highly Recommended New Releases
Recommendation tiers: [Heavenly King potential / Great-level] > [10,000-average potential] > [Excellent potential] > [Worth reading when you're out of books] > [Niche] For new books that haven't gone premium yet, I'll predict whether they'll make the Sanjiang recommendation list. These are books I'm reading or think are good. Quality web fiction, guaranteed. I mainly recommend new books, no ads! My predictions for the Twelve Heavenly Kings of 2026: "Becoming a Saint in the Martial World While
A Vast Library Through the Ages: Great Reads of Every Kind, Plus Self-Recommendations and Promising Newcomers
Some books are wonderfully written but hardly known, buried in the endless sea of novels. It's a real shame. This list is dedicated to finding excellent stories across all kinds of genres. I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves. Once the list is full, I'll remove books previously added from reader comments and make room for new self-recommendations. Us

An Old Bookworm's Reading List
A veteran reader who's been around since web novels first appeared and rose to prominence, recommending some of the best novels I've read.
Ahua's Food for the Soul
Ah Hua has a bit of an artsy streak, so you can count on the writing in this list to be good and not dumbed down. Ah Hua also has a bit of a playboy streak, so I don't like repeating the same type. (I also really like the books on the rankings, such as The Paradise of Reincarnation, The First Sequence by Zhouzi, and Apocalypse Forecast, but I'll leave them off the list since you can find them yourselves.)
Beat Your Reading Slump: There's Something Here for You
A wide range of genres, with no dumbed-down stories.
Books That Suit My Taste
This list mainly features books that suit my taste now. I've left out some books I was obsessed with in the past but that feel outdated today, with too many deal-breakers. My taste is pretty eclectic, and genre doesn't matter much. Whether it's dark, full of saintly characters, or puts the protagonist through the wringer, I'm fine with it as long as the story holds together and I can keep reading. Original premises get bonus points; tired old formulas lose points. Usually one female lead or none
Trying to Recommend Lesser-Known Books
I try to recommend lesser-known books. After all, if you're looking for a reading list and find nothing but chart-toppers, what's the point? These picks reflect my personal taste.

This book is incredibly popular through piracy, can you believe it?
This book is undoubtedly a masterpiece. First, the author's writing style is remarkably mature, skillfully crafting the feel of a Hong Kong crime thriller with its multiple storylines and escalating climaxes. I even briefly thought it was a veteran Hong Kong director revitalizing his career by writing web novels from scratch. Second, the plot is tightly woven and intricately connected.
Do you know why so many people are criticizing this? You put this under a post-apocalyptic sci-fi book, what kind of people are you attracting? Newbies. Minors. People who want to read mindless, pretentious post-apocalyptic stories. They accidentally tasted something inferior and can't appreciate it, so they get impatient. The strength of the pseudo-Ring is beyond question. Almost every website has imported his books, and that tells you why.
Capital is truly powerful; good books don't get traffic, and most of the books on the bestseller lists and recommended books are unreadable! I recommend everyone read this book; don't let its value go to waste.
This story is absolutely disgusting. If you can't write a romance, don't write one. It's nauseating. The second female lead is a mistress, and the male lead is hypocritical. It was nauseating by the end.
Is this all the awkward praise the whole internet is getting?
The mindless and idiotic content is awkward and doesn't fit the label. Opening a science fiction/apocalyptic book search, I was surprised to find gangster novels under the interstellar genre title – quite a unique find indeed.
Seeing Coco leave prompted my thoughts.
First of all, I didn't pay for it, since it's free now. 1. The early gangster stories were actually quite well-written, especially since I personally don't usually read gangster stories, and they're practically disappearing in the current climate. 2. I started to find the middle part, starting with "Commander Qin," a bit unsatisfying.
Why bother with so much romance for the female lead? 😡 It's the post-apocalyptic era, what's wrong with having another wife? Coco had both ability and affection, and they just took her away like that. How can this ending justify all the buildup? 😭😭😭 Coco! My dear Coco!
In this post-apocalyptic world, can you please not go into such detail about these detective cases? There's no struggle for survival, no cannibalism, and it's clearly an urban novel, yet it's being forced into a post-apocalyptic setting. I can't stand it anymore.
Garbage plot, I had to endure the disgust to watch a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites pretending to be brothers. It's just some imagined gangster dogfights from watching too many Hong Kong gangster movies.
