These recommendations are based entirely on my personal taste! If you disagree, feel free not to read them. Just click the X and leave, thanks! O_o For ongoing and completed works, I only recommend books over 500,000 characters, unless a new book is especially good! I try to recommend books that have already gone paid. In the long run, I hope you'll recommend some cheerful books: absurd, imaginative comedies with quirky ideas! The writing should be decent and the logic should mostly hold togethe

Novels I can finish
Handpicked Book Nook
There are lots of promising new books, and even more older ones over 300,000 words. Some books are worth reading even after they've been completed. It's satisfying to watch a new book grow, while older books have plenty of content and a proven level of quality, so they're unlikely to be abandoned. This is my main list. The categories are pretty flexible: I add books if I like them, though I think most of them have pretty good ideas. Come take a look and see if they're your cup of tea. I also ha

🔥 Picks from a Bookworm of 10 Years: Must-Reads for Newcomers to Ming-Dynasty History 🔥
The Ming Dynasty: remember the saying, “The ruler dies for his country, the emperor guards its gates”? The Ming was the last glorious dynasty of the Central Plains, and the final high point of China’s feudal history. It was a dynasty whose emperors were known for their iron will. This list features several outstanding and hugely popular historical novels, and the stories they tell. I hope you enjoy them!!!

I generally prefer urban novels, though I also read widely and am fairly picky. The list is still small for now, but it will gradually grow. After all, good books are hard to find, and quality is what matters most.
I'm Always Looking for Books, and It's Stressing Me Out
As a big-name blogger for ten years, I've become increasingly picky about what I read. Finding a book I actually want to read is hard. I can't get into the Mysterious series or books with foreign names, so I made this list for fellow readers.

What this ten-year veteran reader usually reads
Let's Read Along Together
I've been a bookworm for over ten years, so I've long since learned to take a reading slump in stride (digging through piles of new books to find something fresh...). This list is mainly for sharing novels I've been following recently. They might be promising new stories with only a few tens of thousands of words, or ongoing serials that have already racked up hundreds of thousands or even over a million words. The only thing you probably won't find here is a completed novel. Lastly, I hope more

Books I've read in the past
My Personal Taste: No Vulgar or Tasteless Reads
No brainless harem fantasies. No mindless wish-fulfillment. No infantile protagonists who make everyone around them seem stupid. I like books with originality and something to say. The characters feel like real people, each with their own depth. My tastes are niche, and I refuse to compromise. I hand out leaderboards to authors when I feel like it. That’s just how I roll. I only recommend books I’ve read. I won’t recommend anything I haven’t. Having the protagonist become emperor for no reason

Standing under the heavy snow, Lu Xiang-sheng looked at the scattered captains and strongmen and slowly said, "From now on, I'm establishing a rule for you: during training, absolutely no mistakes are allowed! If a captain makes a mistake, the junior officer will be punished; if three or more captains make a mistake, or a junior officer makes a mistake, the captain will be punished; if the…

Although the eunuch faction at the end of the Ming Dynasty wasn't exactly benevolent, at least they ensured that Zhu Youxiao (Emperor Yongle) had money when hunting wild boar hides. By the time of Zhu Youjian (Emperor Yongle), the eunuch faction was gone, but the money his brother had embezzled from them returned to the hands of those self-righteous and morally upright gentlemen.
Chapter Twenty-Two Commentary: The Grand Eunuch Falls into the Cigarette Pit
Write this well, don't rip me off with my investment 🙄 And best of luck with it, may it be a huge success!
The Ming Dynasty was rotten from top to bottom; the emperor was incompetent, and the civil officials were corrupt and power-hungry. The author even mentions the eunuch faction, claiming that only they could enforce imperial decrees. Without them, decrees couldn't even leave the Imperial Study. The Ming Dynasty relied entirely on the eunuch faction; it was doomed unless overthrown and rebuilt.
The palace maid mentioned in Chapter Thirty (daughter of a disgraced official) claimed to be from the Jiangnan region and said she could swim—absolutely unbelievable. Officials' daughters were traditionally confined to their homes, and this woman, knowing how to swim, would be a complete novice.
I told you I also think Tiger is alright; looking forward to five chapters a day is not bad! Authors are human too, there's no need to whine.
No female lead? What's so interesting about a bunch of grown men? I won't watch it without any pretty girls.
Everyone knows perfectly well what kind of Confucianism was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Frankly, writing this kind of empty talk is pointless. Why don't we just wipe out Confucianism and the Confucius family?
