This Game Is Too Realistic

Good Writing Is a Must

Mainly recommending new books with good writing. The plot and logic should make sense. Leave the title and a recommendation, then follow and bookmark the list.

Premium Picks: No Mediocre Reads

A stubborn stone may nod, but it will never be fine jade; a withered tree may bloom again, but it will never become a pillar. To speak of ice to summer insects is to waste your breath; to play a lute to a cow is to waste your effort.

On the Road to Godhood

A big thumbs-up to all you tentacle monsters on the road to godhood.

Polished Prose and Premium Reads

Collecting new books with good writing and smart characters, as well as excellent published works. New writers are welcome to recommend their own work. I'll take the time to read and review each one. Readers who visit the list, please take a moment to save it. Your support is what keeps the list updated.

A Reading List That Rides the Wind and Breaks the Waves

I mainly recommend new books, especially ones with original ideas. The criteria for making the list are good writing and clear logic. I'll add new books from every category, and readers are welcome to recommend books too. I occasionally add published books with great plots as well. These are honest recommendations.

Stories That Broke Through

A good book is like a cup of clear tea, best savored slowly.

Game of Life: Even with the Gods Here, I'll Still Beat Fate at Its Own Game ♟️

No game, no life. It's not the world itself that makes life complicated and hard to understand. It's the boring people who live in it. And you are the one exception I never saw coming, despite all my careful planning. Don't smile at me. No one cares. Don't cry in front of me. No one will be there for you. No one backs down when grudges and grievances come to blows. Fighting with swords and blades isn't cool at all. Some people follow the rules. Some people defy convention. Some turn ba

"Treasure Trove Bookshop": Anime and Light Novels, No AI-Generated Stories

Mostly anime and historical fiction. I write reviews but don't give ratings. Most of these books are complete. Some explore extremely niche topics, while others are famous blockbusters. Whether it's a morning glory tucked away in a corner where nobody sees it or a rose beloved by everyone, each has its own brilliance. These books all have some degree of originality. I won't use AI to bring in older books, and I've also filtered out some ongoing works, so I rarely use AI or quote it at all. Parti

My Time

I've read all these novels. The intelligence, plot, and writing are all on point.

Random Recommendations 🌹 A Booklist Full of Great Reads! 🌹

In 2026, on an empty recommendation shelf, brand-new books were selected and reviewed by editors before being placed in specific spots. A few days ago, each had been nothing more than an outline of a thousand or so words. From submitting a proposal to editorial review to uploading a new book, it has now become a book with a mind of its own. For all this, we should thank the passage of time in 2026... The passage of time in 2026... A brief, magical stretch of time. She seems to have a spell over

Books I've Subscribed To, Dropped, or Follow Regularly

Please turn off chapter comments when reading. There are not many trolls, but they really do affect the reading experience. Here's a humble suggestion: if you like a book, please give it a like, or I might think I'm playing by myself. Once a book is removed from the bookshelf, it will not be kept on the list.

My Reading List

I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale

Readers Who Use Their Brains

I've read every book here from start to finish. If there's one you've read and enjoyed, we probably have similar tastes, so give the rest of this list a try.

The Sutra Repository

Books I personally like

My Private Library

An old reader’s personal library, full of books I think are good, in all kinds of genres. Some are books I read a long time ago. Please don’t flame me if you don’t like them. I’m not taking recommendations, and please don’t ask me to recommend books in the comments. (P.S. I only add books I’ve finished.)

Book List Sharing

These are the web novels I’ve enjoyed the most personally, the absolute cream of the crop. Taken as a whole, their logic, plot progression, worldbuilding, character development, and other aspects are all exceptionally solid, and each one has its own standout strengths and truly brilliant moments. They’re not formulaic stories either: you can clearly feel the care their authors put into polishing every word. Some I saved while listening to audiobooks, while others I read on Qidian. I’m sharing th
