Eclectic Picks: Great Writing, Great Plots, and Plenty of Fun. Please Like and Save!
Nothing too juvenile or mindless. I’m open to any subject or writing style, as long as it brings something fresh. Lately, I haven’t been able to find books that suit my taste, so I haven’t updated this list in ages. I spend more time looking for books than reading them.
Books I Love (⑉°З°)-♡
On death's door, I jolt awake: another short and feeble update
Sansan Book Depository
A collection of books I often reread
🍡'S Book Bag
It is hard to say what genre this is. I am simply sharing some books I personally like. This is very subjective, so please do not insult anyone. I came here to ramble because I was worried that commenting under these books might cause arguments.
For My Own Collection
Easy, satisfying reads for beginners
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.)
For When You're Out of Books to Read
Not bad.
Lost Heart, Lost Dreams, Lost Happiness
The age is dim and murky, dazzling in its confusion. Who can see my good and evil clearly? People's likes and dislikes differ, yet these partisan men are unlike any others! They wear mugwort at their waists, and say that secluded orchids are unfit to wear. They cannot even tell one plant from another. How could they recognize a precious gem?
The Heterodox Way and the Buddhist School
The autumn wind rises, and white clouds fly; the grass and trees turn yellow and fall, and the wild geese fly south. Orchids bloom, chrysanthemums are fragrant; I think of my beloved and cannot forget. I sail in a grand boat across the Fen River, cutting through the current and raising white waves. Flutes and drums sound, oarsmen sing; joy reaches its height, yet sorrow fills the heart. How brief are youth and strength; what can one do about growing old?
The Mentally Ill Have More Fun
Featuring protagonists whose personalities and worldviews are out of the ordinary.
Where Fantasy and Reality Intertwine
Books I've finished and books I'm following I feel like nobody reads this because it's so short. Then I'll pad it out a bit. These are books I've read, finished, or am currently following. (Are there some grammar mistakes? Whatever, T^T.) This is just my personal opinion. Everyone has different tastes. If you can see my list, please lend me your ear. Your support keeps me motivated. ^O^ o>_<o ⊙▽⊙ O(∩_∩)O
A Bit of Everything
Completed Books, Part 1
When I'm out of books to read, I revisit old favorites to tide me over. The descriptions may not make much sense. I made this list for myself.
Single, Cold, Rational, Anti-Trope, Funny, and Lighthearted
Most of these feature single protagonists. It's not that I dislike stories with couples, but so many female characters exist solely to serve a womanizer, and it ends up ruining the plot! Aside from making people hate the protagonist, raising the difficulty of every dungeon, and constantly forcing him to come to the rescue, the female characters add nothing. If that's all they're going to do, they might as well not be there! Thankfully, many good books these days, especially by veteran writers, a

Smart, Invincible System Transmigrate Power Fantasies
Some books I personally enjoy, mostly System and transmigration stories. Most have smart characters and aren't too simplistic.
A Trash Picker’s Reading List
There are too many books, so I made a list to share. I enjoy lighthearted stories
I Have a Reading List, Do You Have Wine? | ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎᵎ

Wow, a new book is out! I'll grab a front-row seat.
I just saw a post about cooking tiger heads with spices. Let me tell you, the author, tiger heads have an incredibly strong odor. Boiling them directly in water is practically like boiling poop! The correct method is to boil them in high-proof liquor, then discard the liquor and boil them again to remove the odor before making dried meat. Don't ask me how I know.
On how to read two chapters in ten minutes
This protagonist is simply evil. He didn't know it was the Demon Emperor, mistaking him for an old man, and recklessly treated him, causing his death. This person is utterly immoral; given the chance, he would kill anyone. The Poison Saint's being besieged wasn't without reason; their entire lineage is wicked.
I've subscribed to the entire book. Please see the author's profile picture. Anyone have Kaleidoscope? I need to order it for a month right away; the book I just discovered sold out yesterday and this morning. It's quite well-written.
I just finished reading Chapter 3 and tipped 5000. Asking for a premium subscription isn't too much to ask, is it?
As someone from Tianjin, it's incredibly rare to find a novel that can actually make me laugh. This one, with its silly and comedic style, surprisingly has a decent writing style and plot. Finding this book is a welcome consolation after being disgusted by some highly-rated but ultimately terrible books lately.
This is a silly and hilarious story, or you could say an invincible story.
Hurry up and update! Do you think you're doing justice to my full subscription? 😎
The scope feels too small, the map too small. One of the two factions of a demonic cult only has a little over a thousand people, and even the largest faction of the demonic cult has just over a thousand. The demon race from the Hundred Thousand Mountains only mobilizes a few hundred each time? The army too, only a few thousand each time? It feels exciting but not quite... It's driving me crazy...
