You Take the Immortal Pill, I’ll Take the Poison

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.

Mostly Recommending Completed Classics

Stories with multiple heroines, no heroine, or a single heroine. I’ll note which in the recommendation. These are all books I’ve read recently.

Books That Are Pretty Good

A good novel isn't just about telling a good story; it should also provide spiritual enjoyment. Every novel should have at least one theme running through it that makes readers think, such as family, love, friendship, ambition, loyalty, dedication, protection, or responsibility. That's what gives a novel its soul. Distinctive, independent characters give it humanity and make it easy to connect with. A well-planned outline and a clear sense of the bigger picture provide its framework. Strong pros

Highly Imaginative Xianxia Novels

The stories are pretty good 👌, and the plots and ideas work well. Feel free to recommend xianxia novels to me. On the old version, saving a list meant following it. On the new Qidian version, tap the star below. If it turns red, you've saved the list.

I Only Recommend Books I’ve Read

As the title says, I only recommend novels I've read. Some are recent reads, while others are old books I read a long time ago, perhaps years back. I thought those older books were pretty good at the time, though I might not feel the same now. Still, I hope they give you a useful reference.

A Haphazard List of Personal Favorites

These recommendations reflect my personal taste. The only thing all the books here have in common is that they're interesting enough to keep me reading. They can be about any subject. Lately I've been drawn to new authors with fresh subject matter. I can't stand formulaic fantasy level-up stories that follow the same template after the opening, no matter the setting. They often feature lots of gasps, shocked reactions, fighting above one's level, contempt, and so on.

Purely personal opinions, not impartial, and they may start arguments.

A Goofy Protagonist's Adventures in Another World

These are all books I'm following or have read, mostly beyond the trial-reading stage. My taste is pretty broad, but I prefer stories with no heroine or romance, unusual ideas, interesting settings, good prose, and a relaxing feel. I like capable protagonists who know how to show off or make people laugh. I can't stand pathetic simps who lose their minds over any woman, romance-obsessed protagonists, indecisive do-gooders, or hotheaded fools who overreact to everything. (I don't mind romance if

Mostly Overpowered Stories: An Eclectic List of Niche Reads. Take a Look at My Reading Trail

My book list is mainly made up of brief reviews. I’ll only touch on the plot a little, since more detail would mean spoilers. Rating guidelines: 1. My reviews are highly subjective. I generally assess books in three areas: worldbuilding, characters, and plot structure. Plot structure weighs the most, but it’s also the most subjective part, so just take the ratings for fun :) 2. There are three rating bands: below 8.0 is a fail; 8.0–9.0 ranges from passable to excellent; and 9.0–10.0 ranges from

If You See This List Has Been Updated, It Just Means This Lazy Fish Rolled Over

This is a list by a couch potato. I rarely update it unless there’s a new book. Most of my recommendations are transmigration novels and lighthearted comedies.

Mostly invincible protagonists and urban fiction [Types of books recommended] I’ve been reading web novels for over ten years. This list recommends novels whose later developments I couldn’t predict when reading them myself, with relatively little formulaic repetition.
