Following My Heart: That’s What Makes a Good Read
From Piaomiao, Xiaobing, and Tianmo back in the day to the present, the most important thing is that a book is good and fun.
Ten-Year Web Novel Reader's Picks: Quality Over Quantity
I started reading web novels as a college freshman, and it's been twelve years now. I've read more than I can count, and I'd like to recommend the books that moved me, drew me in, and made me sincerely applaud. This list is updated regularly. I've already removed several books that fell apart later on or were abandoned.
Books I Think Are Pretty Good
Fantasy, urban, science fiction, and historical fiction
An Old Reader's Collection, Updated Irregularly
I've been reading web novels for over a decade. The first one I read was Kunlun, in a wuxia magazine. This list recommends novels of all genres, with short reviews.
An Old-Timer’s Favorite Reads
Books I love, and I hope others enjoy them too.
My Personal Reading List
I've only added novels I've fully subscribed to and enjoyed. From now on, I'll only add completed novels to this list. The list is ongoing, but I'm pretty lazy, so updates will be irregular. Sorry about that 😂
No-CP Reading List,
I originally made this list hoping people would recommend books to me too, but after all this time, only a few have been recommended. A lot of my other lists have been abandoned, and I don’t feel like keeping this one up anymore either... From now on, I’ll just update it whenever I feel like it.
Novels That Keep Me Reading: Mostly Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Xianxia
These are some books I like, so give them a try if you want(´-ω-`) I'll update the recommendations from time to time. I haven't been finding many stories I like lately, so there may not be as many recommendations. Thanks for understanding(*^ω^*) If the books I recommend aren't quite to your taste, maybe we're looking for different things, or maybe I'm in a reading slump and desperate enough to read anything(`⌒´メ)
The Taoist Priest's Library
Wonderful stories, fascinating lives, a brilliant China, captivating culture, and treasures from our ancestors
Novels I'm Following
A personal list, mostly for novels I might read someday.
Mao You's Little Garden
A reading list from a bookworm of over ten years. I still remember registering my Qidian account in 2006. Back then I was reading The Demonic Saga, The Misty Journey, Magic Apprentice, Stellar Transformation, The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, Ghost Blows Out the Light, and many others. I've read so, so much, and the books I still remember made a deep impression on me. That's why it's hard to find books I can get into these days. Everything I recommend is something I can really enjoy reading!
Some Creative New Girls’ Love Authors ヾ(≧O≦)〃 Awooo~
Only sincere, high-quality works that I am following myself. Fellow readers, feel free to save themヾ(●´∇`●)ﾉ Wow~ Remember to leave a like after saving, and if you found something worthwhile here, please follow as well ✺◟(∗❛ัᴗ❛ั∗)◞✺(≧▽≦) Authors work hard to write their books, so if you can, please support official releases.
A Veteran Bookworm’s List After More Than 2,300 Consecutive Sign-Ins
Western fantasy, games, science fiction, and historical fiction. I've read for so many years that my tastes have become pretty picky, and I'm not very interested in the usual big-name authors, so I'm constantly running out of things to read. I generally won't include books you'd find right at the top of the rankings. (At the very least, you should have to scroll down a little.) (Lately, the books I've wanted to recommend keep going on hiatus, and updates have been slow. I'm very sorry.)
For Personal Use
Twenty Years of Reading: A Few Thoughts
A little sharing from a longtime bookworm. I've been on Qidian for over ten years, and dozens of books in my favorites have vanished into obscurity. I hope to preserve a few memories.
Books I'm Following
Books I'm following. Some are just getting started, with a few hundred thousand words, while others are around one to two million. I'm following all of them as they update.
Mystery and Interesting Fan-Fiction Works
Unusual fantasy that lives up to my expectations I like novels where the protagonist is a mastermind working behind the scenes, playing the game from a high-level perspective. I hate good-for-nothing protagonists and progression stories. You don't have to wait until the protagonist has mastered some divine technique before they make their move, but at the very least, they should have trained as much as they possibly can. What I find most baffling is how someone fresh out of the gate always has t
Ten Years
A bookshelf of my own, to revisit old memories, relax with some easy reading, and enjoy a few laughs on my own!
A Record of My Youth
Books I’m enjoying right now. No harems, no clueless protagonists.
Hidden Gems
A web-novel veteran of over twenty years, highly recommended!
Sakura Trick
I can't find anything good to read.

Schools of thought classification and explanation
I happened to have some free time today, so I read some comments after get off work and found that some people were interested in the book's structure. Here's a brief description. There are a total of twelve extraordinary factions in the book, roughly as follows. Agricultural Industry Category: Zi Yi Kun Dun Mathematical Notes Category: Ugly II · Chi Fenruo
I was tricked into coming here by TikTok, leaving a comment too.
Regarding various occupational categories
(kùn dūn): Agricultural and industrial category The "Zi" in the twelve earthly branches is another name for the year. The *Erya* () states: "[Tai Sui] in the Zi position is called Kun Dun." The *Huainanzi* () states: "In the year of Kun Dun, a great fog arises and a great flood occurs." Gao You's commentary explains: "Kun means chaos; Dun means disorder.
Take your hand away, what are you doing?
The book is a good book, but whether the person is a decent person is another matter.
The *Tao Te Ching* was modified by Confucianism; the true Daoist *Tao Te Ching* has the *De Jing* (Classic of Virtue) preceding the *Tao Jing* (Classic of the Way). The full text of the *De Dao Jing* is as follows: 01. The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

What's going on? Why are there so many people today? What? Limited exemption? Guards! Protect the Emperor! Those who criticize me, write them down in a notebook, and every day, burn three sticks of incense and draw a circle to curse them... What? Praising me? Wishing you prosperity and good fortune in the New Year! ヾ^_^♪
To be honest, this book was quite difficult to read. To emphasize its sophisticated writing style, it mixes classical Chinese with modern vernacular, and the levels, schools, skills, and factions are all incredibly complex—I couldn't remember them all. The plot is also very messy, with a lot of internal monologues, and various supporting characters have more screen time than the main characters.
Personal opinion First of all, the book has a great concept and is well-written. In my opinion, it could promote traditional Chinese culture and other cultural works, but it shouldn't be written in overly abstruse or difficult-to-understand language. More annotations or explanations of obscure terms would be helpful, as plain language has a wider audience.
It's poorly written, completely off-topic, and instead filled with flirtatious banter between the male and female authors. Definitely a female author; she lacks a sense of the bigger picture, and her logic is flawed. The whole thing is just rambling and awkward small talk.
