Sanbao's Good Reads
Once upon a time, a book lay before me. I casually opened it, and a wondrous world unfolded! Now I'm actively searching for good books, unwilling to let them go undiscovered by you, a fellow book lover.
A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems
I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many
Hidden Gems Ranked Below the Top 500
Every novel on this list ranks below 500 on the monthly ticket chart. Why below 500? Because the chart only shows the top 500! So, if one day you see a book from this list near the top, remember: it once struggled, too. And one day, you'll shine as well!
A Sword, a Blade, a Jug of Wine, and a Book: My Only Companions on the Road
Travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books, explore countless worlds. I've added the good books I've read over the years. Some may have been written a long time ago, but they're still classics today. In the early years, reading novels was truly intoxicating and addictive. I'd stay up all night reading, dreaming of them over and over. Fortunately, I was young back then. Reading was such a thrill: strange and fantastical worlds, heroes leaping across rooftops, powerful figures soaring thro
Niche Tastes
Books I have read on Qidian over the past few years. I finished some and did not finish others, but I thought they were all quite good. At the very least, none had any glaringly problematic elements.
A Lonely Lamp in the Night Rain, Pondering Ghosts and Gods
Ten Years Adrift
Recommended by a 15-Year Bookworm
Purely subjective ratings. 90–99: Masterpieces in my eyes 80–89: Excellent, top-quality works 70–79: Good for passing the time 60–69: Decent enough
I'm Proud to Be Picky
Keeping a record of the good books I've read. I'm picky, after all.
Ahua's Food for the Soul
Ah Hua has a bit of an artsy streak, so you can count on the writing in this list to be good and not dumbed down. Ah Hua also has a bit of a playboy streak, so I don't like repeating the same type. (I also really like the books on the rankings, such as The Paradise of Reincarnation, The First Sequence by Zhouzi, and Apocalypse Forecast, but I'll leave them off the list since you can find them yourselves.)
Twenty Years as a Veteran Reader, with a Keen Eye for Good Books
I've read countless protagonists and seen every familiar trope. Now that I'm middle-aged, I just want to find good books that make me happy.

Books I'm Reading, Interested In, or Have Followed
I've been reading novels for years, and these days I often find myself in a reading slump. Lately, I prefer stories that focus on plot and go easy on the clichés. The writing and logic shouldn't have any major problems, and please, no awkward romance. A comfortable read is always welcome. Above all, I want something original.

Damn, the tastes of Qidian readers are really unpredictable. This book doesn't seem bad at all, yet it's not even a "featured" book. I've read half of it, and it's quite well-written, but the emotional foundation between the characters and women feels too weak.
From the Lord of Pro, let's forget about this one.
Pro is truly a divine book, but this one is hard to describe in a few words.
The writing is excellent, and the setting is also good, but the biggest problem is the terrible pacing. Our strongest warriors will inevitably falter in actual combat, our strategists will inevitably miscalculate in battle, and our plans will inevitably fail in execution; the enemy always has a backup plan, and a backup plan after that, and a backup plan after that.
I've been following Sarah's books for a while now. Leaving aside the fact that her first book was too difficult to understand, from "Give Me the Name of God" to this "The Judge of the Lamp," the biggest advantage is that the villains and supporting characters are all intelligent, and the stories are very exciting with good settings.
Post-viewing thoughts
I don't know what to say for a moment. To put it well, it has a unique combat system, novel narrative logic, and the humor doesn't feel forced. To say he's bad is that the villains often act stupidly, their logic is frequently broken, and the ending is childish. Perhaps it should be said that it is stronger than average, but stronger than average.
I believe there are still heroes.
Having read so many novels over the years, there are very few that I can truly get into. There are very few novels that are easy to read and worth rereading. This is the only novel that I can read repeatedly and remember every plot point vividly. The judge said, "The Lantern Bearer stands between life and death, upholding the heavens."
The biggest problem with this book is that it's unpleasant to read.
Emmm, to sum it up first, it's good, but I abandoned it several times. I only paid close attention to the beginning, and then I skipped a lot of things. Here are my thoughts on why the book's popularity doesn't match its content, which can be summarized in three points. First, the protagonist's leveling up is too slow.
The story is good; the main plot is excellent; it's rare to see a Qidian author write such a superb story. However, the writing style is quite lewd; the entire book revolves around playing with women, striptease, and visiting brothels. This includes all the gods and demigods—they're basically all cut from the same mold.
I hope to give Zhiqiong a suitable ending. It doesn't have to be great, but it must be worthy of his original aspirations and mission, and worthy of the hardships and setbacks he has gone through. Even if it ends with a knife, I will accept it. From initial curiosity to daily reading now, "The Lamplight Judge" has accompanied me through my final year of high school.
