The Movie Emperor Doesn’t Want to Be a Eunuch

Great Book Recommendations, Fewer Reading Slumps

Books with lots of subscribers: urban, light novels, and historical fiction~ A step above newbies, but not quite a veteran reader~ These are my personal opinions, so please don't take offense~ My ratings are only: Solid pick (has something going for it) Must-read (really good) I'm out of things to read. I've dropped so many books halfway through~

A Reading List for Relentless Updates;

A Reading Slump Is the Norm

2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads

A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h

Liu Yifei as the Sole Female Lead

Xixi may be doing all right in real life, but I hope she has a better life in novels. Qidian is flooded with entertainment-industry stories written just to cash in, so I made this list to help everyone avoid the duds. The books I picked may not be great, but they're definitely not problematic.

Liu Yifei, Xixi, the Celestial Beauty, An Feng [Only One Heroine]

Only collecting stories with one female lead, where she's as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Some of these are old enough that I've forgotten the details, but they're all worth reading.

🌱 Old Bookworms' Ranting Club 🌱 Urban Stories, Family Cultivation!

A veteran bookworm with over twenty years of reading! In 2003, wuxia was king. I discovered Liang, Jin, and Gu, and Jin Yong became my favorite! In 2005, web novels took off.
