See allA Booklist for Cool Autumn Days and Falling Leaves&
Autumn is gradually deepening, and the sunlight isn't as bright as it was in early summer. So, are there books just right for reading in autumn? Of course there are. What should you read in autumn? What kinds of books suit the season? In the list owner's opinion, autumn calls for breezy books, namely, feel-good stories. Summer is a good time for fiery plots, while autumn is the season for cool, lighthearted reads that won't feel stuffy.
A Reading Diet for an Endangered Veteran Reader
My personal favorites: historical fiction, science fiction, urban rebirth, unconventional themes, and fan fiction.
A Private List for Killing Time: If It's Fun, It's Worth It
This list has no theme. It only contains books I personally think are decent, with a preference for stories with big, imaginative concepts. To be clear, there won't be any books where poorly written female characters get way too much screen time. And let me make this clear: pure romance and harem are absolute opposites. I have no idea how anyone dares to put those two words together. It's absurd. Battlefield stories just can't get great again. Dice gacha games, I'm really mad now. P.S. I'll re
A Long-Review Booklist Focused on Promising Newcomers
I'll remove self-promotions, but I'll generally give anything interesting a trial read. I don't do reviews, so please don't ask. Thanks.

A Collection of Top-Tier Reads
I’ve been reading for ten years... Quality guaranteed!!! These recommendations are sincere. Every book I add is, in my opinion, one of the best in its time. Fellow readers, feel free to chat with me o(≧v≦)o I have a pretty sound worldview, a strong sense of the rule of law, and a good grasp of modern society, so I won’t read books that are anti-human or inhumane. In other words, I don’t read dark fiction. If that’s your thing, please look elsewhere. I have another flaw: I’m a bit of a neat fre
No More Idiot Plots: Stories with Tight, Well-Crafted Plots
A breath of fresh air amid all the brain-dead wish fulfillment, and a godsend for anyone with OCD. When I first started reading web novels, I quite liked simple, fluffy stories. Now, whenever I see the titles of books by those so-called great authors, I feel like throwing up my last meal. The books on this list have excellent prose and logic, at least on par with the average print novel (judging by books published before 2010). Most are titles I've accumulated over more than ten years of readi

Wandering the Sea of Books
The books I recommend are ones I enjoy reading. I think they're good, but whether you like them is another matter.
The Divine Books Pavilion
1. Books I've read, updated and removed from time to time. 2. I've read each rated book up to its latest chapter, and usually note what I find appealing about its premise. (I generally rate it once when I add it to the list. If the quality drops later, please let me know.) 3. If the quality declines, I'll lower the rating or remove the book, and note the title in the comments. Note: Every book here is one I can keep reading and think is well-written. But I read a wide range of things, and some n

Sharing Some Books I'm Reading
I have been an avid reader for more than ten years, and fewer and fewer books can hold my attention. I move back and forth among lists from famous authors and friends, finding quite a lot, while also feeling that authors who put real care into their work are often hard to notice. So I created this list to share books I think are pretty good. I hope excellent works can find more readers who will love them.

Books that are pleasant to read, from a pretty wide range of genres.
Long Completed Novels, Your Cure for a Reading Slump
We all know how hard it is these days to follow a book all the way to the end. A lot of people would rather wait until a novel is complete before reading it. My other list, “Seedling Maniac,” has more ongoing novels. This one is for completed older books that overflow from that list, as a companion list. The quality bar is: mainstream genres must be at least solid, while niche genres must at least be decent. Self-recommendations are welcome.
Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.
A Veteran Reader’s Mental Pantry
I started reading web novels in middle school. My first was A World of Mercenaries, which I read at Xinhua Bookstore, then I borrowed books at rental shops. I didn't start supporting authors by paying on Qidian until I had a job. I've been reading novels for over ten years now, so here's a simple list of books I like. Hopefully I'll find some fellow fans, too.

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.

Detective Yuanfang
Hello everyone, I am Li Yan. I was originally a history major. On an ordinary day, when I went to an amusement park with my childhood friend, Di Renjie, I witnessed the suspicious behavior of several orphanage employees and discovered a suspicious transaction at the Qidian Orphanage. I didn't notice their accomplices from the orphanage sneaking up behind me to ambush me.
It is said that Wu Zetian's management skills were very poor, and her ability to govern the country was really weak. She was only good at fighting. Half of the Tang Dynasty's territory was lost under her rule (of course, these lands were in very bad condition). However, after the rebellion in Yingzhou, Wu Zetian suffered two major defeats in the battles of Huangzhang Valley and Dongxiashi Valley.
Big hit! Remember to send a heart to the male lead!
Talent Recruitment Building
Talent Example: [Open a Window: Blue Talent, increases appearance by 5 points when family background is 1 point or less (maximum 10 points). (When God closes a door, a rich woman opens a window.)] Let's brainstorm and see what everyone's ideas are! 😜
While I respect Wu Zetian's ability to seize power as a woman, I sincerely hope the protagonist can stop her from taking the throne. Although it's a novel, I still hope the common people in the book can live a better life.
This is my first time posting a discussion on Qidian. It's because the author's writing is so good that I read three cases in one night. After finishing the Zhang Shouyi poisoning suicide case, I really couldn't hold back anymore. The foreshadowing laid in the first case was only revealed in the third case, and there were even deeper foreshadowings hidden.
Old Tyrant has transformed again! The Infinite Realms can't do without you!!!
Why not just stick to crime-solving stories? Why write about martial arts and cultivation novels? The first part was amazing, the second part was uninteresting, and I basically only glanced at the title of the third part before closing it. Online novels should be diverse and vibrant, not just filled with nothing but cultivation stories.
Having finished the Tang Dynasty volume, plus the Tang Dynasty side stories, well, I've finished this book. 🙂
The Tang Dynasty arc was really good, but after reading the first volume of the Song Dynasty arc, I lost all desire to continue. As for the Ming Dynasty arc, seeing the titles featuring the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Buddha made me not want to read it at all.
