A Sort of Reading Guide? I'll Review All Kinds of Texts, Good and Bad

I add strange and unusual books I come across here. (I can only make one list, so my personal recommendations are here too.) P.S. If I sound harsh, it’s because something about the book genuinely disgusted me. P.P.S. One extremely harmful book was taken down the other day, after being on this list for a while. No idea if someone reported it or the author ran off, but either way, good riddance.

I Once Hoped You'd Be My Private Reading

Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again! Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again! Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again!

Feel-Good Reads, Mostly Without Female Leads

This list leans toward Lovecraftian and mysterious stories, with the occasional historical novel or light novel. I dislike saintly protagonists, so I try to pick novels without a female lead. Removed novels: Starting Out as an Ancient God with Bloodletting, Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Foolish Emperor, I Can Extract Proficiency, Reborn in the Wild Era, When Another Dimension Descends, Monster Sorcerer of the Steam Age, I'm Really Not a Tentacle Monster (dropped), The Great Detective of Dr

Interesting Souls

A lot of really fun novels never get much attention and then suddenly get abandoned. It's a shame. I tend to clear out my bookshelf, so I'm saving them here as keepsakes. Overall, they're lighthearted comedies. After all, I read to relax. (I personally prefer novels with no heroine or just one heroine.)

Kui House (Night Whispers)

Kuiwu is exactly what the name promises: a mystery book house. It's great. Every book on the list has something to do with mystery: bizarre events, strange and mysterious cases, apocalyptic cycles, exorcising demons and vanquishing monsters, battling old zombies, suppressing evil spirits. It's got everything. What? A goofy book house? ......Well, some of the stories are pretty goofy, now that you mention it. So what? Life is dull enough as it is. Isn't it nice to have some laughs and scares, som

Books I Followed Back in the Day

I’ve read too many books to remember them all. I’ll add whichever ones come to mind and treat this as a trip down memory lane.

Adventure: An Uncertain Path Ahead and a Strange, Wonderful Journey

“What Is an Adventure Novel?” Adventure fiction is a genre of popular literature. It is more accurately called adventure fiction. Its central thread consists of unusual adventures. The protagonist often has extraordinary experiences, encounters, and setbacks, while the plot is tense, the conflicts sharp, the scenes dangerous, and the events bizarre. “Elements of Adventure Fiction” Broadly speaking, adventure fiction covers two kinds of conflict: people against other people or social forces, a

Personal Reading

I'm a middle-aged man past 30, keeping a record of the books I've read. Whether I liked them or not, and whether I dropped them or not, I'll write a long review. My reviews only reflect how I felt after reading each book. They may be positive or negative, but they're simply my honest impressions at the time, with no other agenda.

A Reading List Focused on Stories with Female or Male Leads and Plenty of Ships to Enjoy

Since there are so few books with well-written romance, this list will mainly feature stories without a female or male lead, though not all of them. I’ll specify the details in each recommendation. My reviews include a lot of personal opinions, odd remarks, and strange comments when I get carried away by a ship. If that bothers you, please leave. Thanks. I’m especially fond of game-world fantasy (not competitive gaming), supernatural horror, and fantasy, as well as works with Cthulhu, Foundati

I've Got an Awesome Book List

I want to share the novels I like with everyone, hehe.

A List of Books with One or No Female Leads, Not Too Dumbed Down, and Great for Exploring New Releases

I have broad interests: games, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and urban fiction ☀☀☀☀☀ P.S. Everyone has different opinions. If you don't like something, well, that's just how it is ←_← I've tagged the main features, so if anything catches your interest, be sure to check it out! Note: This list doesn't include any especially disturbing or dark books! “Single heroine” means the protagonist has only one wife. If anything is inaccurate, feel free to discuss it in the comments.

The Buddhist Approach to Recommending Books: Lily's Library

My only standard for adding a book to this list is whether I enjoy reading it. I won't copy the blurbs; readers can check those for themselves. I won't give ratings either, because every book here gets a perfect score from me.

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

The Chaotic Good Slacker Monster's Reading List

A thousand readers see a thousand Hamlets. This salty fish can't guarantee that my taste in art will suit everyone. I'm fine with no romance, one heroine, or multiple heroines, but I can't stand a protagonist who keeps flirting without committing, unless the story reaches the level of Constantine. I have my own worldview, but I'll try to set aside my standards for pointing out mistakes when choosing books, since every author writes from a different worldview. I don't like tragedies, such as XX's

Pure Colors

Alone in the autumn cold, I stand at the head of Orange Isle as the Xiang River flows north. I watch the mountains blaze red, their layered forests dyed with color; the river stretches emerald-clear, crowded with boats racing onward. Eagles soar through the sky, fish glide in the shallows, and every living thing competes for freedom beneath the frosty heavens. I am filled with vast, troubled thoughts and ask the boundless earth: who controls the rise and fall of all things?
