Great Books with Rich Plots and No Foolish Protagonists
A mix of niche and popular titles, and also a record of the books I enjoy reading.
Books on My Shelf
A note up front: This list is highly subjective. I can't guarantee a book is safe to read, and I'm not responsible if it poisons you! It includes books at every stage, from promising new works to substantial novels and completed stories. There may be some that update weekly, monthly, or quarterly, but those will go at the end. I want to put every book from my own shelf on the list. These are books from my own shelf. I ran out of things to read, so I suddenly thought, why not make a book list? Th
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.)
Just Sharing Some Books I'm Reading
I curate this list, but I don't babysit it. If a book gets abandoned, let me know and I'll remove it. A little rant: Why do you need fan points just to post a comment in the review section these days? Seriously, any book that does that gets a bad review from me.
Female-Free Novels on My Bookshelf
Novels I like or have read with no female lead! No female leads, no romantic tension, no ooxx. ٩(๑`^´๑)۶
Some Books I'm Reading
I'm not into harem stories. I prefer planes-hopping and cultivation-through-leveling stories, but there's a bit of everything here, including anime, history, xianxia, and the supernatural.
🔥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'
Underrated but Great Novels, For Personal Use
Absolutely entertaining. Only niche gems recommended. A treasure trove for anyone suffering from a book drought.

Personally, I think Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is the worst fan-made movie based on Journey to the West. It uses a black monkey to attract attention, but the monkey in it is just a demon named Sun Wukong. It has nothing to do with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. From appearance and height to abilities and weapons, it is completely different.
I bought a fish tank and put many of my favorite fish in it. I give them oxygen, water, food, and the basics of their lives. He was so strange and twisted, with indescribably twisted and dancing tentacles (referring to my curly hair), the twisted patterns filthy and evil, legend says that seeing Him would mean leaving this world (referring to the fingerprints on my hands, I sometimes catch a fish…
It would be a waste not to include explicit content in the *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*. It's essentially the fantasy of a down-on-his-luck scholar; without exploring ghosts and demons, *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* loses its meaning.
There has to be a female lead, no matter what kind of creature she is, like a snake, insect, tiger, or leopard, otherwise it'll get boring by the middle. Many novels are like this.

What's amazing about this book is that it's based on Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio but has almost nothing to do with women. It's really enjoyable to read. Look at other books that are based on Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio; one minute it's this woman, the next it's that woman, then one woman is sleeping with this fox spirit and another is sleeping with that female ghost—it's disgusting to read.

The book is good, but there are too few of them. Nine out of ten of my book review posts are trolls, so getting this one review from me is already pretty good (smug face 🤓).
The first three chapters are enough to make you want to quit. The system forcibly restricts the protagonist to a certain place, meaning the system can completely control the protagonist and force him to act according to the system's will. The system is the protagonist's assistant, which is why it's watchable. If the protagonist is the system's servant, the sense of immersion is impossible.
