No Female Lead, No Romance, and a Sound Worldview
I've collected some novels with no romance. Of course, I haven't read every book on the list, or necessarily finished them all. Some stop working for me as I go along. But I guarantee there won't be any romance, a heroine, or a hero. If a romance plot shows up later in a book I dropped before getting that far, please let me know so I can remove it. I won't include books tagged "no female lead" or especially famous titles, since everyone can find those easily. The list is full, so to make room fo
Xi Jiang's Personal Reading List
A middle-aged reader born in the 1990s, with ten years of web-novel reading behind me. I’ve read all sorts of books, so I’m keeping track of ongoing ones here. Completed books get removed! There are loads of books on my shelf, and sometimes I can’t even remember them all! Since I’m a woman who reads male-oriented fiction, you won’t find harem novels here! (If a book is truly exceptional, I’ll make a note of it separately.) 🅰️ Anyone have recommendations? It’s so hard to find books myself. Sin

Beat the Reading Drought: Fast-Paced, Plot-Driven, and Mind-Game Novels
I've been an avid reader for over ten years. This is a record of books I think are good. I prefer fast-paced, plot-driven novels and have little interest in power fantasies. I read all kinds of things, and anything that suits my taste may make the list. Some may be abandoned or end badly, and you may disagree with my opinions, so use your own judgment. One person's honey is another person's poison. This list reflects my personal views only. The only thing I can guarantee is that I've read at le

Books I've Read: History, Nation-Building, Western Fantasy, Fourth Calamity, and More
Latest update: Too lazy to write recommendations. Leaving this here for 2025. A record of books I've read 🚩 (More for tracking than recommending) 🌀 I like infrastructure-building, business management, farming, Fourth-Dimensional Disasters, history, and behind-the-scenes stories. But I'm open to other genres when I'm out of things to read, so my tastes are pretty broad. 🌀 Reviews cover only the parts I've read and are updated as I go.

Great Books Are Meant to Be Shared
Good books are meant to be shared. I’m passing along the gems I’ve found so fellow readers can enjoy them too. Lately I’ve been really into stories about little ones growing up. If you know any books where the protagonist has a long childhood to explore, please recommend them! Beastfolk cubs, human dumplings, anything like that. Childhood is so adorable, so why rush to make them grow up? It’s so boring. But if you’re recommending a story about a toddler who’s already competing for favor and fac

Nothing too juvenile or mindless. I’m open to any subject or writing style, as long as it brings something fresh. Lately, I haven’t been able to find books that suit my taste, so I haven’t updated this list in ages. I spend more time looking for books than reading them.

These are all books I have read myself, covering all kinds of genres.

Even so, the free chapters were enough to show that they were good works. I simply want to recommend the books I enjoy and help more people discover these wonderful works.

A Food and Fantasy / Xuanhuan / Sci-Fi Collection by Xian Yu, With No Female Lead or One Female Lead
If you're tired of harem stories and don't want reverse-harem palace-intrigue stories either, my list should be right up your alley. Some books aren't finished yet, though, and if they turn into harem stories or add a harem later, I'll remove them to make room for other works. I usually follow the books I recommend for a long time before adding them, so you can already feel fairly confident about the ones here. That's why the list updates very slowly... slowly... slowly...

This book is destined to be the kind of book that even those who love it will not complain about it, but the number of people who don't love this book will definitely be overwhelming. I have summarized a few reasons why this book is not popular, but this is not a shortcoming. I can only say that everyone has their own preferences. As for the change of the style of this book, it is destined to be unflattering to both sides. I just hope that the author will keep this book from being a bad book and build a good reputation and work hard to prepare for the next book. 1: The choice of words, sentences, layout, etc. Are very inconsistent with the reading habits of male channels. You can tell at a glance that they are from female channels. It took me a long time to get used to this. 2: The perspective is too niche, at least for male videos. Can you imagine that I am obviously here to see the results of the leisurely farming life? You give me a whole story about Zhen Huan from time to time. What the hell is it? I didn't react all of a sudden, which led to a love triangle between black and white. I was stunned to watch that plot back and forth several times before I understood it, but I have to say that even writing The Legend of Zhen Huan is much better than imitating Shura Field written by other people like a male channel. At least I have a deeper understanding of the saying "women's hearts are needles under the sea". 3: The description of men is too bland and far less exciting than the description of women. Even the few men who occupy an important role in the plot are too feminine. There would be no sense of violation if Fran and Adrian were completely gender-changed. Maybe it would be better to be the grandmother and aunt from the beginning. (Ahem... I still like Hill very much) 4: It is always difficult to highlight the key points between the lines. This is a very important shortcoming in my opinion. The first three are still very cute to me, but the fourth one is not good, which can easily cause online readers to become anxious or forget the previous paragraph after reading the next paragraph. A large part of the readers who abandoned the book after seeing half of it may have died here. 5: The Riddler who is not the Riddler may have some overlap with the second point but I am too lazy to change it. In fact, many dialogues and plots are tacit for female fans or online game players, but for male fans and ordinary readers who do not play social online games, it is sometimes really difficult to understand. It is recommended to add more explanations. How to maintain a balance between explanation and highlighting the key points depends on the author's writing skills. The above are my opinions on this novel. I like the setting, characters and style of this book very much. I hope the author can encourage him to move forward and improve step by step. ps: If I haven't given up on the book after I have enough money, I will reorder all the books 🙂🙂🙂
I've read a lot of comments these days and I've thought about it carefully. But my inspiration for opening the book was how a protagonist with a peaceful personality should choose his own path when he encounters the chosen one who summons the fourth natural disaster. I decided to stick to my outline. An ordinary person who loves nature and small animals slowly walks his own path in life. I would definitely give my beloved protagonist Goldfinger, but not so early. Some changes in his life require players to bring him. This is also my first time writing a book, so there are definitely many shortcomings. Thank you readers for your love and understanding.

I am very grateful to those who vote and comment for me every day. You really give me a lot of encouragement.
After reading the first few chapters, it was pretty good. The IQs of the characters are basically online. They are just some views on modern society. I think it is not appropriate. The education in modern society is actually not very good. It is a spoon-feeding education. It worships science excessively and ignores the health of the soul. There is a large number of unhealthy souls. The worship of money is prevalent. Thinking giants like Zhuangzi no longer appear. Few people care about whether the soul is healthy. They think that having money is enough. This is actually an unhealthy mentality.
Currently fully booked, I read it in two days in one sitting. It talks about not fighting for hegemony, but pseudo-farming. It's slow-burning, not watery, the writing is online, the imagination is big but the logic is harmonious, the world view is reasonable and there are foreshadowings, for me it is like a fairy tale. Let's talk about the shortcomings, 1: I see that the author has written wrong names in no less than three places, hahahaha. Although the writing style is solid, there is a saying that the names of people in old-school Western fantasy novels are really difficult to remember. 2: The way of replacing narration with dialogue is perfect and will not make people feel that the word count is too high, but paragraphs and double quotation marks must be used well (fuck me) I hope to catch it in the next chapter. Catching Bugs improves the reading experience 3: No Although the book is not long, I see that there are really no bad points now. The protagonist and supporting characters are all well written. The sensitive points can be touched on in one stroke but the buttocks are not crooked, which is also very good. I want to praise a few words and think about it for a long time, but I can only squeeze out the word "stable" hahaha. Don't give up because of the large paragraphs of text that lay out the world view. It is a pity. The following contains spoilers ps: The player has been fighting demons for a long time, but before entering the abyss, there is no positive description of the demon (wry smile), only adjectives such as weird and weird. I understand that the author wants to write about the motherland in the interstellar era, but in this current environment... I hope the author will be more cautious when writing the realistic plot later, and I want to see the book completed! ~
The world of Toril is too long. Who cares about the mess of forces and gods? The focus is on Hill's travels and growth. Those guys just pick a few important interactions to advance the plot. There are many that are not even troublesome, so there is no need to waste words. From the beginning, it was full of useful information, but now I haven't read it at all. If I wrote about this world from the beginning, there would be nothing to say, but this is just one of the worlds that Hill travels to. Our protagonist is Hill, it is Hill, Hill!!! Whether it's interacting with friends, family, or players, continuing to travel, or gathering wool from tree ancestors, there is still a lot to write about, and Toril is really tired of reading it.
After reading it in one sitting, this book can be said to be the most realistic and beautiful among similar subjects. At least in the player stream, I have never seen a book with millions of players that can not break the rhythm, and this book has been controlled very well so far. The only drawback is that the author likes to include large paragraphs of textual insights in the book, which makes it a bit bloated and wordy. As we all know, the average understanding ability of Qidian is only at the junior high school level... Keep it up, I am very optimistic about it.
It looks fine at first glance, but it doesn't look good upon closer inspection.
I probably saw two hundred chapters subscribed. 1. A long paragraph of ideological propaganda, this is fine, but it takes a long time to explain. It's good to transform a backward society and free slaves, but then wait until foreign players are introduced and start talking about women's rights again. Why is it that in the interstellar era with anti-matter cannons, people still think the same as modern people? There is no progress in society, right? 2. There are no fantasy elements. Many things are just names with no description. The story is good, but the setting is poor.
I invested 50 yuan. Come on, I'm optimistic about you. But there is a bad truth to say, your subject matter and route are too niche. Only readers who have been reading it for many years can enjoy it, but many novice readers don't like to read it. . . . So don't be discouraged if your grades are not good later. It's not that you didn't write well, it's just that you were born in the wrong era. If it were eighty or ninety years later, you might have become a hit.
