See allA Private List for Killing Time: If It's Fun, It's Worth It
This list has no theme. It only contains books I personally think are decent, with a preference for stories with big, imaginative concepts. To be clear, there won't be any books where poorly written female characters get way too much screen time. And let me make this clear: pure romance and harem are absolute opposites. I have no idea how anyone dares to put those two words together. It's absurd. Battlefield stories just can't get great again. Dice gacha games, I'm really mad now. P.S. I'll re
Great Novels That Never Got Popular
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Novels I think are good, across a range of genres. I rate each one based on my own impressions: five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is the best, and one star ⭐ is the lowest. Books on this list start at three stars ⭐⭐⭐.

Top Picks from a Fifteen-Year Veteran Reader
Novels I've read over the past fifteen years that were so original I couldn't stop reading until dawn! I've been reading for a long time, so I remember the stories I read back then, but not all their titles. That's why my recommendations are mostly from the past few years!
An Old-Timer’s Favorite Reads
Books I love, and I hope others enjoy them too.
Decent Enough to Read
These are books I've read and thought were pretty good. I don't like stories that try too hard to look cool. Substance matters, and the plot has to make sense. The author matters too, of course. I'm in a reading slump lately. If you've come across any good books, please recommend them. Thanks! So many books on the charts lately are comedy stories full of silly characters, or shallow wish-fulfillment tales about leveling up and fighting monsters. Even the xianxia stories I love have mostly turned

In a Reading Slump? I've Read for Years and Know a Thing or Two. Not for Beginners
I'll update this list with quality novels from time to time. No novice-level writing, just strong prose and no harem protagonists. Some may have one or two love interests, but nothing too off-putting, and the romance won't be too bad. Any genre is welcome; I have broad tastes. I'm not great at writing introductions, so please bear with me. Hopefully I get the gist across... probably. Note: Space on the list is limited, so I'll remove older books, except for ones I consider excellent, such as Sn

The Listmaker Came Before the World: They've Been Here Since Before Chaos
According to an anonymous insider, Chen Laomo is currently in an indescribable place, covered in red hair, with green eyes and a hunched back. Every so often he bares his teeth and lets out a sinister chuckle. In his hands he grips a shovel, digging furiously at something. If you look closely, it seems that one corner of a tombstone is showing.

I've read a lot of books, from masterpieces to fluffy beginner reads. Here are some to share and discuss.
🔥My Little Stall on Qidian🔥
I won't add any dumb books to this list, because I really hate them! Emmm (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ) As someone who cares about logic, I first check whether the story is internally consistent, then whether its values and other aspects suit my taste. I just realized I'm really picky about novels! ( ,,ʘωʘ,,) I like decisive protagonists who don't hesitate to kill. It's even better when the side characters and villains are smart too! ₍₍ ◝(●˙꒳˙●)◜⚘₎₎🎉 I'll add books over time. Feel free to recommend yours if you'

A Day in the Pot, a Carefree Immortal in the City
An immortal comes, treading starlight, known as a seeker of the Way and the immortals. I am no weary traveler of the mortal world, with nowhere to call home. I eat wild fruit, swallow clouds and mist, and in my spare time, roam the skies with cranes. For hundreds of years, I’ve kept far from the mortal world, its smoke and bustle. An immortal comes, moon in hand, known as one who loses the way and never returns. A great dream of forty years in the mortal world, all lived to the fullest. All thin
A Reading List I Made Out of Boredom
Nothing much to say, just some books I read in my daily life
A Pile of Novels
Interesting novels in all kinds of styles.
Rational, Simple, and Running Out of Books to Read
The protagonists are generally pretty levelheaded.
Zixiao Palace
I mainly recommend promising new novels in the primordial-fantasy, fanfiction, and infinite-world genres. I've personally put every single one through the test!!! Friends who want to promote a book should recommend one with strong internal logic. Logic is the first thing I look for in a novel, so I hope you understand. Friends who want to send flowers, why not tip my novel with Qidian coins instead? (At least I get half of the tip →_→)
The Mortal World
Some novels I personally think are pretty good. I'm not much of a reviewer.
Unearthed Gems from the Sea of Books
A rational harem fan.

The coffin took away Shennong's relics, but Yuan Lao passed away today. The aroma of rice lingers with every meal; those who eat their fill should always remember Yuan Lao.
Aside from cultivation and enlightenment, this book has little story. Over tens of thousands of years, the old demon's life was simple and monotonous, filled with emptiness from the outside in. Ever since Su Chen's soul transmigrated into the Old Demon's body, his life has become incredibly bleak. His personality has become dark, selfish, and demonic.
The author does have some writing skills, but the books he writes are getting worse and worse. Other authors, if not getting better and better, at least can live off their past achievements, but of the five hundred books by the author of "The Central Plains," I feel that only one is decent.
After arriving in the Buddha Corpse World and being forcibly involved with the Investiture of the Gods and the Three Pure Ones, things started to feel a bit boring. Later, after leaving the Ancient Wilderness World, he spent his days meditating and preaching, losing the old demonic aura he had before.
I remember there was a book called "Black Mountain Ancestor" before, but it was revised a lot and then disappeared. Did you write it?
Why are so many people criticizing the author? This book is excellent in both its text and plot. And many of the reviews are just making trouble out of nothing.
Is it reasonable that productivity in these fantasy worlds hasn't improved at all over the past thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years? Is blindly adhering to ancient methods and power levels realistic? This is a point of contention I've been pondering for years while reading fantasy novels. I hope this book can avoid these pitfalls and offer something fresh.
I used to watch pirated versions because I didn't have money, and I watched them countless times. Today I'm an adult, so I'm subscribing to all the pirated versions to commemorate my youth! 🤝
Don't take the saintly route; take the demonic route. The Black Mountain Ancestor is a demon; without a human persona, you might as well transmigrate into Buddha.
The plot moves too fast and feels a bit far-fetched! However, the author's lack of padding is the biggest highlight! At only 630,000 words, it feels more substantial than reading other novels of 1.63 Million words.
