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~
No Female Lead, No Romance, and a Sound Worldview
I've collected some novels with no romance. Of course, I haven't read every book on the list, or necessarily finished them all. Some stop working for me as I go along. But I guarantee there won't be any romance, a heroine, or a hero. If a romance plot shows up later in a book I dropped before getting that far, please let me know so I can remove it. I won't include books tagged "no female lead" or especially famous titles, since everyone can find those easily. The list is full, so to make room fo

Some books from my library and others I've read and enjoyed. I have pretty eclectic tastes and read all kinds of genres.
My Personal List for When You Need Something to Read
My tastes are pretty eclectic, with all sorts of books here. Hope this helps you get over your reading slump.
Only Recommending Books I Enjoy (I Read Popcorn Fiction)
(If you find a good book that isn't on my list, please recommend it in the comments. Being short on books is miserable.) I only recommend books I enjoy. I only recommend the ones I'm following, so please keep in mind that the list may be out of date. If I show up as a trainee reader and a book has been here for a long time, that means I stopped reading it. I never care much about prose or plot when I read novels. That's too much effort. If I enjoy it, I'll keep reading; if I don't, I won't, no m

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
Master of the Azure Lotus Sect ☯༒
Honestly, I have no idea what rule I broke. I deleted all those book descriptions, so I'll just wait and see what happens. Never mind. This is a purely personal list for me to browse on my own. I don't accept recommendations. If I read a book and think it's pretty good, I'll add it here.
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 I Personally Enjoy
It's a pretty eclectic list, and I don't even know why. I just suddenly felt like putting one together. A lot of these are books I finished a while ago and thought were good, so the reviews will sound pretty similar. For the ones I'm currently following, I'll write a bit more.
An Interesting Reading List
Books I’ve read whose prose, style, and creativity I really enjoy. This list is just my personal taste.
Quality Reads of Every Kind, Old and New!
I’ve been reading for twenty years, and after so many books, very few have stayed with me. This list collects distinctive, representative works from different genres, along with promising new books. I don’t have time to write detailed reviews, but I’ll add them gradually. I only include ongoing serials and new releases, not completed works. These are purely my personal opinions. I hope they’re useful, and thanks for reading.
Lighthearted and Delightful
Books for reading after a meal or over tea: cheerful, delightful stories that are perfect for unwinding after work and sure to put you in a good mood!

A Personal, Eclectic Reading List: No CP or One Female Lead
Sharing books I enjoy. I read pretty much everything, so there's a bit of every genre here. I'll keep a few abandoned books I especially liked, but I'll mark them, so proceed with caution if that bothers you. I'll sort them into roughly three categories: "Treasure Vault" (great in every way), "Acquired Taste" (a bit like a battle of wits, with obvious strengths and weaknesses), and "Display Case" (solid and enjoyable). I'll include only one book per author, and put the rest in the recommendation

Lighthearted, Offbeat Picks for Veteran Reader Black Cat Jue
These days, I prefer books that feel fresh. Something lighthearted is even better. Lately I've been into farming and development stories, fan fiction, historical tech, and the like. The ratings are for books I've read at least part of. If I kept reading, it means I could get through at least the beginning, so none are rated below 5. Books rated 5–6 usually fell apart later or became ridiculously padded, XXX, so I changed their ratings.
I’ll Read Anything, Hot or Cold, as Long as It’s Original
I'm a longtime bookworm, from physical books to early TXT novels, from forums to websites, from pirated editions to legitimate ones. I've been reading for quite a few years. I started out sticking to xianxia and fantasy, but now I'll read anything, as long as the premise is fresh and the deal-breakers aren't too bad. I can put up with a lot. These days, the old days of new trends popping up everywhere are gone. If an old-school premise doesn't bring anything new to the table, I lose interest. So
A Reading List for My Eclectic Tastes
I like anime-related fiction, history, entertainment-industry stories... My tastes are all over the place. I'm making a list so I don't forget the books I've been letting pile up.

I will never read your books again.
This is destined to cause a sensation in the online literature world and go down in history! I may stop writing novels, but I can't delete this account! I'll leave it for future generations to admire! As expected of the founder and leader of the online novel entertainment genre, he really knows his stuff!
I really can't stand those people who want the female lead anymore. Let me talk about the consequences of having ambiguous relationships and a female lead: 1. What do idols rely on? Idols rely on fans, and fans are the protagonist's livelihood. A large proportion of the protagonist's fans are female fans (this proportion is larger than that of mother fans and male fans).
That's amazing! My buddy saw it first thing this morning, so I took a picture with it. Or maybe we should take a group photo together?
I just searched for similar books and was completely blown away. Modern setting, top-tier male leads, two female protagonists? I think you don't even know the word "law." And after the official announcement, female fans are still calling him "so handsome, husband"? Do you think normal people would enjoy being a mistress? Humanity is baffling… Compared to other books, the setting of this book is so normal that it's almost touching. At least, it fits my basic worldview.
Song submissions welcome!
Tell us your favorite songs, and it would be best to write down two lines of your favorite lyrics from those songs.
This author, you wouldn't want your short and weak reputation to be all over Qidian, would you?
Are you trying to torture your fans? You're torturing me!
I've been reading since 6 PM, through 96 chapters, and I've cried five times... I thought it was just an ordinary, enjoyable novel. Look at the synopsis and the title; it exudes a simple, straightforward feel, even a bit like a country bumpkin story. The subject matter wasn't new; I've seen plenty of ups and downs, so I clicked in with peace of mind, even with a critical eye.
I didn't have four online romances, I didn't open a fan club or have any paid followers, and I didn't take any money. It's just that the rumors are so outrageous that people are happy to suffer secondary harm because of them.
The rumors about me dating four people online and having sex with someone else are false. I gained nothing and am now burdened by these rumors.
The cat just wants to learn how to write good romance storylines, please don't blame him 😭
