A Quiet Harbor in This Restless World

🦝 Recommending novels I enjoy and am currently following. 🦊 These are the genres I mainly enjoy: fan fiction, cultivation, historical fiction, light novels, showbiz, and mystery-solving. 🐰 I tend to favor fresh, relaxing, easygoing stories with sound values and a touch of absurd humor, as well as other kinds of traditional feel-good fiction, rather than toxic feel-good drivel. 🦭 When I have time, I'll write more detailed recommendations. When I don't, I'll just add a quick recommendation. I'l

A Veteran Reader’s Mental Pantry

I started reading web novels in middle school. My first was A World of Mercenaries, which I read at Xinhua Bookstore, then I borrowed books at rental shops. I didn't start supporting authors by paying on Qidian until I had a job. I've been reading novels for over ten years now, so here's a simple list of books I like. Hopefully I'll find some fellow fans, too.

Books This Veteran Reader Enjoys

Nothing much to say. I'm just sharing a few books I'm following. Authors who come here to advertise, don't bother; I usually won't read your books. Updated from time to time, usually by removing a few books and adding some new ones.

A Veteran Reader of Ten Years: Must-Reads to Beat a Reading Slump, Even If It Means Staying Up All Night

I've been reading for over a decade, and this list reflects my personal taste. I'm not into womanizing protagonists or harem novels. I prefer stories with sound values, and I read a bit of everything, both for men and women. I only recommend what I think is worth reading. I won't recommend the big-name books on the rankings. I'll stick to less popular ones, and I only recommend books good enough to keep me up at night reading.

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No System, Just Smart Characters

These days, if a novel's protagonist hasn't been reborn, transmigrated to another world, or been given a System or a wise old mentor in their pocket, they can hardly look anyone in the eye. Stories with any of those three things can seem fresh and fun at first, but after a while they get tiresome. Just look at the titles of new releases: Reborn as XXX, Transmigrated as XXX, The XXX System. I mostly ignore books with those tropes. They're all pretty much the same, and it's hard to find a new twis

Tuantuan’s Reading Notes

My tastes are extremely picky, so this list may not be useful as a reference. 📝 Mostly no-romance and no-CP books, added as I read ✅ History, games, farming and development, mostly male-oriented fiction with the occasional female-oriented novel ❤️ Attractive protagonists who are decisive, even-tempered, and smart P.S. My favorite authors and books aren't on this list because I don't have the courage to review them.

Keepsakes of Time

A personal collection of books I have read in recent years. Mainly protagonists focused on their careers, with romance as a secondary element. Career-focused, slice-of-life, and no-romance works are included. I reject domineering CEOs, Mary Sues, palace intrigue, household intrigue, and stallion novels. I like protagonists who are firm and rational, self-reliant and strong. Both female-oriented and male-oriented novels are included, across all kinds of genres.
