See allNo 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
A Veteran Reader's Private Collection! (Xianxia, History, Urban Fiction, Anime, Sports, and More)
All kinds of books I've come across during fifteen years of reading (≧∇≦)/ Xianxia, sci-fi, urban fiction, history, alternate history, fantasy, wuxia, period pieces, sports, light novels, and more. Including: 1. Books with fresh premises and plenty of imagination 2. Rare gems in niche genres 3. Comfort reads for when you're out of books The list owner's preferences: 1. I prefer plot-driven stories, research-heavy and well-reasoned novels, and intelligent protagonists. 2. I like authors who ex

An emergency kit to help you through a reading slump. Every book here is interesting and worth a look. The completed ones are excellent, and the ongoing ones have their merits too. (Please don’t come after me if one got abandoned QAQ.)
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Sifting New Gems from the Sand
Updated regularly. All genres welcome. Ratings (decent fare, excellent fare, plus or minus, heavenly treasure) reflect my personal preferences only.
Humanity's Grand Ambitions, Soft Murmurs, and Quiet Reflections (Haha)
I won't list books near the top of the rankings or famous titles. Everyone has probably already given those a try. What makes people shine, what makes humanity shine, is probably intelligence and emotion. The feelings we cherish as children and the ambitions we hold as adults are all deeply moving. I'll probably choose books with heartfelt emotions, lofty ideals, and grounded characters. I can't be a saint, but I can't help wanting to imitate them, lol.
No Need to Ask, I've Followed These!

Mostly Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Gaming (I)
A selection of books I think are well written. They may be niche or mainstream, but they should all have a distinctive style or something that sets them apart.
Books I Personally Like
I prefer stories with coherent logic. I can make an exception for mindless wish-fulfillment if the writing is good, though I don't expect to find many. (If you can write that well, you'd be better off writing an original story and making more money.) I like stories with well-developed settings and frameworks. Fanfiction lets me be lazy and step straight into a familiar world. Both completed and ongoing novels No spoilers Some books from other platforms and older books can't be added to the l
Great Reads to Check Out

A Personal Collection
For my personal collection
Plot-Driven (Not for Beginners): Urban Fiction ④
The male and female leads shouldn't be too simplistic; they need to have their heads screwed on straight. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending after the first few chapters, and it should have the occasional surprise. The writing shouldn't be full of formulaic exam-essay parallelisms or nonstop power-ups driven by impulse; it should have some substance. There are old and new books. The old ones are books I'd reread myself, while new books generally have at least 400,000 w
Beat the Reading Drought: Fast-Paced, Plot-Driven, and Mind-Game Novels
I've been an avid reader for over ten years. This is a record of books I think are good. I prefer fast-paced, plot-driven novels and have little interest in power fantasies. I read all kinds of things, and anything that suits my taste may make the list. Some may be abandoned or end badly, and you may disagree with my opinions, so use your own judgment. One person's honey is another person's poison. This list reflects my personal views only. The only thing I can guarantee is that I've read at le
Weekend Picks: Historical Fiction
Learn from history to understand the rise and fall of nations. Historical novels I read from time to time. These are just my personal tastes, so please be kind if they're not yours. 1. Abandoned or badly ended novels will be removed regularly. Fellow readers, please let me know if you spot any. 2. If you know a good book that isn't on this list, leave me a comment. I may add it after reading it.
Books I've Read: History, Nation-Building, Western Fantasy, Fourth Calamity, and More
Latest update: Too lazy to write recommendations. Leaving this here for 2025. A record of books I've read 🚩 (More for tracking than recommending) 🌀 I like infrastructure-building, business management, farming, Fourth-Dimensional Disasters, history, and behind-the-scenes stories. But I'm open to other genres when I'm out of things to read, so my tastes are pretty broad. 🌀 Reviews cover only the parts I've read and are updated as I go. The fan-value indicators generally reflect my actual reading

Rational Protagonists, Mostly Fanfiction
The protagonist is always the character who deserves the most attention in a novel. If a protagonist is rational, mature, dependable, and makes you feel secure, I believe readers would really appreciate that kind of character in today's climate. This list is just a personal collection of books I like, featuring a few protagonists I find especially mature and rational.
[Recommendations]🌸 Welcome ❤️ Hope You Find Something You Like 🎁
Hi, everyone! I’m Baicai. These are the books I’ve been reading lately, and the ones I like best. I especially enjoy the read-aloud feature, and I’ve listened to every word of these books. Please excuse my rough reviews. I strongly believe that book reviews should include how far you’ve read. That’s the only way to properly evaluate a book. A negative review after ten chapters is different from one after 300, just as a positive review after ten chapters differs from one after 300. If you like
Tuantuan’s Reading Notes
My tastes are extremely picky, so this list may not be useful as a reference. 📝 Mostly no-romance and no-CP books, added as I read ✅ History, games, farming and development, mostly male-oriented fiction with the occasional female-oriented novel ❤️ Attractive protagonists who are decisive, even-tempered, and smart P.S. My favorite authors and books aren't on this list because I don't have the courage to review them.

I've been in a reading drought for a long time. Let's recommend and share books with each other.
A Ten-Year Veteran Bookworm's Eclectic Collection, All Books That Suit My Personal Taste.
I have been reading for fifteen years, and my tastes have become quite varied. That is why my list will not contain low-intelligence, mindless wish-fulfillment novels built around forced face-slapping. I like books with strong logic and storytelling. Let us see whether anyone shares my tastes.
Great Historical Fiction (Since There Are Few Historical Novels, There Are Even Fewer Good Ones, So This List Includes Some Abandoned Books)
Quality historical novels involving transmigration. Since many of you tend to enjoy fantasy, I will also include some novels combining fantasy and history here. History remains the main focus.
A Collection of Books for Singles
I only include books with no romance and no female lead. The protagonist can be male, female, or nonhuman. Genres include light novels, Cthulhu mythos, Fourth Industrial Revolution, and more. If a book isn't romance-free, feel free to criticize it.

Sigh, the writing is excellent, and the science explanation is very engaging... But as a story, there are still a few things I just have to say... The most important point is, how many supporting characters are there in this book? As a protagonist with an overpowered personality, becoming famous was only a matter of time. Did he really need that much fame?
The Lady with the Lamp & Little Army Headquarters – Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 and died in 1910. She was first and foremost a wealthy heiress, and then a brilliant mathematician and statistician who holds an extremely important place in the history of applied statistics.
A unified response and explanation regarding the fact that this book has no female lead.
I saw some readers asking about the female lead in the comments section, so I'll provide a unified response and explanation here: @reader, because the comment section (I think) only allows 150 characters per reply, I created a separate thread for this. First of all, this book definitely does not have a female lead. Why? This issue actually involves several aspects:
My personal opinion on the newly opened National Treasure line; feel free to disagree (I'll just leave after posting).
I absolutely, positively love the author's inclusion of the national treasure storyline. : D Some people say that there's no need to open one; focusing on popularizing medical science is enough. Some people said that it's okay to open it, but only in a side story, otherwise they feel it would affect the main plot and that the national treasure is of little use to the authorities, so penicillin…
Reading Guide/Warnings, Added Correction
Chapters 28-32 contained spy/agent plot points because the author had a mental breakdown while working at the makeshift hospital. This storyline was subsequently cut. The author admits it's his fault, and Mick will only be a plot device from now on. However, if you really can't accept this plot, please don't read it. You can drop the story, and you can criticize it in the chapters, but please don't use the comments section. This is hereby corrected.
This is just a personal suggestion, which I've already posted in the article, but I'm worried it might get deleted because I pointed out a problem, so I'm posting it here again. I think the article is very well written. As for the spy storyline that people criticized... I'd like to offer a personal opinion: as long as the subplots are well-written and connect well with the main plot, that's fine.
The writing style is clearly a translated work, making it awkward and uncomfortable to read, unsuitable for online writing. It hurts both the eyes and the brain. It might be okay if it were written for oneself or a small group, but it wouldn't attract many readers; it's too highbrow and doesn't appeal to a wide audience. However, the quality of the writing is undeniable; it's acceptable.
There are some problematic plot points in the early part of the story, specifically in chapters 28-32, mainly involving murder, but these are resolved after 10,000 words. If you find them offensive, you can skip them without affecting the main plot; they're basically not mentioned again later.
I'd like to recommend a game! It's also related to medieval medicine, similar in theme to this book. The game is called "The Divine Healer." As the title suggests, you can choose to be a traditional "divine healer" or embrace new medicine to become a true divine healer.
The title of this book reminds me of the great Dr. Lister. That's right, it's the doctor who's well-known in the country for his 300% mortality rate. However, in real history, Liszt was such a person: He clashed with the Royal College of Physicians of London over a patient and deeply resented his colleagues' unconventional behavior (yes, doctors were incredibly wild back then).
