Underrated Cultivation Stories Worth Binge-Reading
Stories about people who keep their heads down and work hard to cultivate. Looking for good, lesser-known novels about male and female cultivators in ancient times.
A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads
A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h
Great Completed Female-Led Xianxia Novels
This list is for completed xianxia romance novels. These are all stories I've read and enjoyed.
No Romance, Ensemble Cast
Since most stories lose all common sense as soon as they introduce romance, I’ve preferred romance-free stories and ensemble casts pursuing their careers over the past two years. Recommendations are welcome. I’ve read at least half of every novel I recommend. Please let me know if any later developments no longer fit the theme

Bai Lan's [Books I've Personally Tested] List
This is my personal reading list, shared in the hope that anyone in a reading slump can find a book to their taste. Mostly no-CP and no male lead. When there's a male lead, the protagonist's intelligence tends to go missing, so I usually skip those. A few have couples, but the female leads stay smart. I've read every book here myself; I don't recommend books I haven't read. I've taste-tested them for you, so read with confidence~*^o^* (If you're extremely picky and don't like the list, just move
The Picky Readers’ Alliance
Everyone has different tastes. I abandon most books on other lists after reading just the opening, but I've also discovered some books on fellow readers' lists that I personally love. Some are so obscure that many readers have missed them, which I think is a real shame. So I've put together this list in the hope that more readers will discover these hidden gems. Taste is deeply personal, of course, so this is only meant to help readers who share mine. I read slowly and rarely read several books
Having Met a Gentleman, How Could I Not Be Glad? By Qing Xuan (Mostly Female-Led Fantasy Cultivation Novels)
After years of reading, there aren't many books that I truly like. Even fewer have a heroine with just the right balance of intelligence and personality: she shouldn't be weak and helpless, but she shouldn't be so ruthless that her values are completely warped either. When a story gets that balance right, the character is bound to shine.

A Veteran Bookworm's Female Cultivation Reading List
After years of reading, I've read quite a few female-led cultivation stories where the heroines focus on their path to immortality instead of romance. I can't stand stories where the heroine loses all reason the moment she meets the male lead, or fluffy romance novels dressed up as cultivation stories. You can rest assured there are absolutely no books like that on this list. Come on in! P.S. I feel bad that most of my recommendations are either new or on hiatus. So much for saying you can rea
Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f
A Light, Easy List
I only love breezy, feel-good power fantasies with decent values and sound logic, usually with one main pairing or no romance. (The protagonist doesn’t need to be perfect or saintly, but they should have some redeeming qualities. They can be flexible about minor things if they hold firm on what matters, or, if they’re selfish about the big things, at least they shouldn’t be awful about the small ones. In short, they need at least one good quality! As for romance, multiple partners are fine if th

Zhen Ju's Bookshelf
I've been reading for over a decade. This list features novels with sound values and good writing. I'm quite picky: an author's writing and plotting can improve over time, but I can't keep reading if their values don't sit right with me. Most of the female-led novels have no romance. I'll mark the ones with a single couple. (This doesn't apply to male-oriented novels.) From now on, I'll only recommend novels I've read and think are good quality. Thanks for following, but there's no need to recom

Books With Mostly Sound Values, Some Completed, Mostly for Female Readers
I recommend books with decent quality and protagonists whose values are more or less sound. P.S. I don’t like protagonists who help people trying to kill them.

Yes, the female lead is exceptionally well-developed; I have to give the author my utmost respect. The female lead in this story isn't one of those typical, overly assertive, domineering types. She's not the saintly, all-encompassing type, nor is she the Mary Sue type where every man loves her.
I don't understand why people always emphasize whether there's a romantic pairing or not. If the storyline is engaging, it doesn't matter whether there's a romantic pairing or not.
Good book. There aren't many fantasy novels that are this enjoyable to read these days. Male-oriented fantasy novels are unreadable. They all seem like reincarnated idiots. And those troublemaking villains, honestly, are the children of big families really that bad?
[Unofficial] Sign-in thread
Congratulations to the author on the release of the new book! The content is great, I've already added it to my favorites and reserved this post. I'll be a veteran of the new book from now on! (Attached image: All about contribution points)
I just finished reading the latest chapter, and it's very well written. But could you please stop making the female lead such a gold digger? After obtaining the divine artifact during this adventure, she'll probably have to give away all those hard-earned treasures again when she returns to the sect. To be honest, the protagonist isn't even that good to his contracted beast, the Pixiu.
After writing over two hundred chapters, there hasn't been a single proper fight scene, and then the protagonist reaches the Golden Core stage. Shouldn't the most important element of a good Xianxia novel be the numerous and detailed descriptions of battles? What is this even about? The whole thing is just analysis and narration, and the protagonist just inexplicably wins. How did he fight? How did he win? What techniques did he use? None at all!!!
This is so good! The world-building is vast, and the female lead is strong and intelligent. It's one of the best books I've read these past few days. There seem to be more cultivation novels without romance on Qidian lately, which is so satisfying. It's a perfect book for those who love pure female leads. 😌
I cried, I cried! This is the second good cultivation novel I've read in so many days, tears are streaming down my face.
I've caught up to the latest chapter. I felt like I'd been nurturing it for a long time, but it was gone in an instant.
I cried. This ending was so bad. I only realized it when I read further, and I cried so much, sob sob sob sob.
