Hu Moye’s Recommended Reads: Gripping Plots and Fresh Concepts

⭐️ I'm very easy to please and have almost no major deal-breakers. Everything here reflects my personal opinions, which may not match yours. ⭐️ I prefer single-romance or no-romance stories, but plot and prose always come first, especially the plot. I especially like Western fantasy, historical fiction, and video-game-world stories (also known as Amber-style stories). I don't read many Western fantasy stories with nonhuman protagonists, and I'm not too fond of historical fiction that focuses on

A personal list of books I've finished reading. Entirely subjective, emotional reviews, not impartial. If you disagree, you're right. My rating system: Top-tier: No fuss, just genuinely great. I reread these, and even if they have flaws, I tend to overlook them through rose-colored glasses (except for certain honorary top-tier picks, heh heh heh). Solid: Dependable reads.

I’ve left out the books at the top of the charts and works by famous authors, focusing instead on some of Qidian’s mid-list titles. Books that are too popular don’t need my help, and there are too many that perform too poorly. These are some less mainstream stories I’ve enjoyed reading. I recommend just one book per author. If you like one, feel free to explore their other works yourself. Thanks.

No Famous Titles, No Beginner-Friendly Fluff. Mainly Creative, Plot-Driven Stories

Lately I've found that historical fiction isn't as interesting as real history. A lot of the speculation is just wishful thinking. After reading The Capital and The State and Revolution, I feel like reading historical news is more interesting. Most historical web novels on Qidian are full of nonsense and make no sense at all. Ge Qin is passable, though. I mostly recommend lesser-known works. The hidden gems are the best books on Qidian. Aside from Wuzei, most famous authors write pretty average
