Readers who come across this list, please recommend a few books too. I'm in a reading drought.
I Couldn't Find Any Good Books, So I Made My Own Reading List
I'm back from the other side. Feels like the whole ecosystem is about to collapse! Anyway, time to read.
[Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds] Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)
Chen R’s Reading List
Books that are pleasant to read, from a pretty wide range of genres.
My Personal Collection of Premium Books
I started reading online fiction in 2003. This is a list from a veteran reader with nearly twenty years of experience.
Books I Personally Enjoy
Books I’ve read and enjoyed, or books recommended by friends. As the list title says, everyone has different tastes. If some books aren’t to your liking, why not scroll down and try another?
Starting a New List Because the Old One Is Full
To make the list, a book needs to have a strong personal touch from the author.
A Curious Adventure
We lost at the S Championships. All four teams managed to take just one game off our opponents. I've decided to drop every League of Legends novel I'm reading.
Books I’ve Read
Some new, some old, mostly old. No cooling system here.
No Darkness, No Harem-Building 🌹 Quick Reviews
*This list reflects my personal tastes. I prefer farming stories, fantasy, xuanhuan, xianxia, game-world fantasy, and infinite-world adventures. *If you spot a harem novel on the list, please let me know and I'll remove it. Thanks.
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

Unearthed Treasures from the Sea of Books: Underrated Novels, Part 1
I've been reading since 2004, and years of experience have shaped my tastes. I lean toward science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. In general, I look for books that are interesting, well-written, or just plain fun. These recommendations are for when you're out of things to read. They're enjoyable, but not flawless. Sometimes I forget to keep following a book, but you don't have to read every story to the end. Besides, even good books often go downhill at the finish. Lately, digging for
Promising New Novels with Classic Potential
Most of my recommendations are new books. Old Ghost put this list together because he was bored, so there's no business deal or anything like that. Don't say I only add books because I'm paid. I go with my gut: I'll check out self-recommendations and add them if they catch my eye.
Laughing at the Mortal World, Lost in a Reading Slump
I've been a bookworm for ten years. I won't claim to be an expert, but I've developed some taste. If you happen to find this personal reading list in the vast sea of books and enjoy it, that would make me happy. I hope it brings you happiness too!

I'll share books I enjoy
Novels That Leave You Happy and Energized
A curated selection of all kinds of good books. My standards: they should leave you feeling satisfied, without too much filler, and the protagonist shouldn't be a robot, a heartless person, or an idiot. They should have both intelligence and emotional awareness. They can have ambitions, but shouldn't be ruthless plunderers. The plot should be compelling, not just the same thing repeated over and over. Books that meet these standards are worth keeping, in my opinion, and I'm willing to pay to rea
Masterpieces With Characters Who Actually Have Brains
Mainly recommending completed novels. Lately I've noticed that a lot of books start strong and then go downhill. For most of them, the first third is so engrossing you forget to eat or sleep, but the middle turns into a slog. You don't want to quit because the opening was so good, yet continuing feels like a waste of time. Here are some books I read in the past and thought were pretty decent.
Chan's Friends' Recommendations
This list is all over the place, with no consistent formula. There's only one standard: at the time, I thought the book was interesting. Maybe the setting was interesting, maybe the characters were, or maybe it was the premise. I just hope the books on my list can offer you something a little different. You can't please everyone, so these are only my personal recommendations. Please be understanding.
Sci-Fi Fan Fiction, Mystery and Detective Fiction, Cultivation, and Sandbox Worldbuilding
I only recommend ongoing books that seem pretty good.
Immortal Spirit Qi
Stories fill these books, more than anyone could count.
Just Novels I Like
Rated according to my personal taste on a scale of 0 to 11. I generally only list novels I like.
[No Bland Filler: The Best Books, Distilled Again and Again] 👍
There aren't many books I've managed to finish from beginning to end; I've dropped a lot halfway through. Here are the ones I'm currently following, and I hope you enjoy them too. I can only vouch for the first half, not what comes later. 😜 Listed in the order I discovered them.
Primordial Worlds, System, Heavens, Cultivation, and Sci-Fi Power-Ups
I personally enjoy xianxia, System novels, rebirth novels, prehistoric fantasy, and multiverse stories. Of course, I'll recommend other good books I come across too. If you have any good recommendations, let me know. Reading is all about how a book feels. If you enjoy these, give me a follow.

So the author is General Ma Shang! I read his Urban Myths at least ten times back then 😭, but I couldn't find any of his other books afterward. Then I came across Red Knight and was immediately drawn to his writing style. What a coincidence! I love it!
The "Zero-Dark Connection" part is quite far-fetched. I understand the protagonist's motivation—his intention was to create a power ceiling for the world to protect humanity. However, his actions essentially amount to self-castration. This kind of thought process is beyond the reach of most people. The last time I saw this kind of behavior was with the Titans.
The author writes so well. I'd like to collect all the books written by this author under different pseudonyms.
The "Extra Building" (or similar building) includes the rules.
Name, gender, race, temperament, faction, abilities. I will try my best to integrate myself into it.
Brothers, please vote for this book! After reading, please also cast a free vote; it's automatically given out every day!
I've read up to chapter 173 so far, and I don't understand why they would want to completely sever the connection between heaven and earth in a world where magic truly exists. Doesn't that just mean closing the country off from the world? Besides maintaining their own rule, what other purpose does it serve?
I usually have to smoke while reading this book because it's so unpleasant. People like the protagonist don't exist in real life, and that makes me feel terrible.
I've read almost 50 chapters and realized that the book completely lacks a power system. The strength of a character is determined by the author's simple words, and the protagonist's growth is inexplicable and nonsensical. I hope the author can control this and prevent it from getting out of control.
Excellent! Excellent! It's been a long time since I've read a book this enjoyably written. The first few chapters weren't great, but it gets better and better as it goes on. The premise of humans and gods living together, a mixed bag of characters, isn't unusual, but few books can be written so smoothly. The fact that even the Cat and Dog Kingdom has its own rules is truly amazing.
