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.

No Female Leads, Updated Through 2024
No female lead, no sex, no romantic tension. These are no-female-lead novels I read back in the day, when I had different tastes.
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.

I write thoughtful short reviews ✍🏻 and long reviews with my feet. PS: I am usually too lazy to write. 😳 This list covers many sections and genres, and my tastes are rather eclectic. I recommend whatever I feel like, including both male- and female-oriented novels. The protagonists in the recommended books are generally guaranteed to be intelligent, with no idiot-protagonist behavior. Whether they are fun-loving mischief-makers, arrogant show-offs, masterminds behind the scenes, or have some s

Mainly urban, online gaming, and fanfiction. No fantasy.
Mostly Novels Without Romance: Infinite Worlds, Fan Fiction, and More
Same as the title. Authors of novels without female leads are welcome to recommend their work. Anything over 100,000 words is fine.

Books That Feel Like a Comfort to Read: No More of the Same Old Stories!
Easy and enjoyable reads that don’t make you think too hard, but also avoid falling into a rut of clichés. With the major sections on Qidian increasingly favoring quantity over quality, I collect any promising new novel that I think does something well, whatever the genre. A little something for everyone.

This style of book has some content; if it doesn't contain anything, it feels like something is missing. But if it does contain content, it feels like it's just filler and not written at all! The best approach is to write more chapters; otherwise, it just doesn't feel right, and if it happens too many times, people might not want to read it anymore. Therefore, it is recommended that the author update more frequently when writing these kinds of content.
This book is written at a leisurely pace, reflecting the author's deep understanding of the Daoist principle of following nature. While I wish to read more chapters, haste makes waste; quality is paramount. Upon completion, it will be a masterpiece! I eagerly await its release!
In Journey to the West, Laozi (Taishang Laojun) is the most powerful.
It's really good. Just the fact that it doesn't contain conspiracy theories or slander deserves praise. The characters of all the gods and Buddhas are really well-developed, a million times better than mindless fluff novels.
This book is excellent, highly recommended! It's packed with content, without any filler, absolutely brilliant, and captivating—a true gem! If the author were to use this to connect the present with the past, becoming a god wouldn't be impossible. However, the title is rather misleading; fellow Daoists passing by, please don't be fooled by the name. Its content will certainly not disappoint you. Please read it carefully!
Monsters, is this book poisoned?
I read all the chapters in one go. It's a rare gem, with exceptional writing and a compelling theme. Keep up the good work, author!
I really enjoyed reading the descriptions of the various characters in this novel. A truly enlightened person should act like one! In other novels, those powerful figures and saints are like ordinary housewives at the market, fighting tooth and nail over the smallest things!
Don't bring up the Xuandu Grand Master thing, this is a Journey to the West fanfiction, and Journey to the West predates Investiture of the Gods. And stop trying to apply the ancient Chinese fantasy setting to Journey to the West, with all that talk about Heavenly Saints and Great Dao Saints. Enough already 😅
Author, please, please change the book title! It will definitely do better than it is now.
