Books I've Read

Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.

No female-oriented fiction, but I’ll read anything else. I guarantee I’ve read every book here, and each has a personal rating and a brief introduction. Generous readers who bookmark and send flowers will definitely get a recommendation and a follow from me.

Naming Is Hard / Names Are Hard to Choose / Hard to Name

These are all books I personally enjoy. This list is based entirely on my own taste, so feel free to take a look if you’re interested. That’s all, meow. Just to be clear, I’m only recommending books I’ve read. I’m not interested in finding out what the authors are like. To me, a book is a book and a person is a person, as long as they don’t use it to push an agenda. If you can’t stand that, just don’t subscribe. “A good article comes naturally, a stroke of genius born by chance.”

The World of Xianxia and Fantasy

Cultivation, fantasy, historical fiction, infinite-loop stories, urban entertainment, a bit of everything! I've been reading for years and use books to pass the time after work. I don't mind power fantasies, but you won't find simplistic novels on this list. Overly pretentious ones aren't good for casual reading either. I've carefully picked these books, read them, and enjoyed them enough to recommend them to you. I'm either following every book here or have finished it after purchasing all the

Baishi's Little Book Nook |_·)

Mainly recommending stories with no female lead or just one female lead, based on my personal taste. New and old books alike: the only criterion is that they're good. Supernatural horror, laid-back slice of life, mind-bending mysteries, comedy: I'll read anything.

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

A Goofy Protagonist's Adventures in Another World

These are all books I'm following or have read, mostly beyond the trial-reading stage. My taste is pretty broad, but I prefer stories with no heroine or romance, unusual ideas, interesting settings, good prose, and a relaxing feel. I like capable protagonists who know how to show off or make people laugh. I can't stand pathetic simps who lose their minds over any woman, romance-obsessed protagonists, indecisive do-gooders, or hotheaded fools who overreact to everything. (I don't mind romance if

Famine Relief for Book Lovers

I got hooked on web novels with Bad Guy, then moved on to simplistic novels, and I've kept reading ever since. My standards have gotten pickier, and I've come to prefer more realistic stories. Good novels are hard to find. So I'm sharing some of the books I've read, hoping we can urge the authors to update and follow the stories together.

  2. This book is probably a complete disaster... It feels like the author themselves tied the plot into a dead end...
