A God-Tier Reading List for When You're Out of Books!
Genres covered: fantasy, sci-fi, military, and urban fiction, including System novels, post-apocalyptic stories, medicine, card games, farming, soft and hard sci-fi, police and military, war, and more. New and established authors alike are welcome, as long as the book suits my taste. I recently cleared out more than 200 books from my backlog and am slowly rebuilding it. There are only two standards for inclusion: either it's well-written, or it's fairly average but makes for decent light readin
My Personal Recommendations, Mostly Long Novels
Excellent reads / wild ideas / satisfying stories
So Good They Leave You Speechless
Rated from 1 to 10. I've been a bookworm for over ten years, and my ratings are very subjective. So far, I haven't given any book above a 7. (I often wonder why I even rate on a scale of 1 to 10.) A 7 is already really high. I checked, and nearly half the books have been abandoned.
Worth a Read
The books on this list aren't ranked. They're listed according to when I read them and the impression they left on me. Finally, thanks to everyone who has followed, commented, or sent flowers. I hope my humble opinions can inspire you all.
[Dark Fiction] Stories Never Die, and Passion Lives On
A tribute to the authors who create out of love. I want to record stories that are destined to disappear, and hope they'll see the light of day again sometime in the future. (I prefer stories with no female lead and darker themes. I like stories that don't follow formulas, and I care about the prose.) (The list owner has completed a novel, "Infinite Strange Games," and is currently serializing "The Game of Sinners." Please add them to your collection, leave a comment, and show your support~~~)

Sea of Origins
Universal Talent: Twitchy Hands Me: Adding books to this list seems to increase their chance of being abandoned by 75%. So be it: I hereby dub myself the 'Abandoned Book Cultivator.' Temporarily 'Out of Contact' A lot of books on my bookshelf have gone missing. I already used Qidian less than other sites, and now I use it even less. What a shame. They're all apprentices, which is hilarious. I almost never see novices. Usually I only read the first few dozen chapters to get inspiration. I can't e

⭐ A Personal Reading List Full of Rambling Thoughts ⭐
💙Books that suit my personal tastes💙 ◆ I prefer weird, supernatural, suspenseful, and Lovecraftian stories, though I read other genres too. ◆ I prefer no female lead or a single female lead. ◆ I reject protagonists who are sanctimonious, hypocritical, driven by their lower instincts, or excessively stupid... ◆ I will include some books that left me with fond memories in the past. ◆ I can tolerate moderate clichés and dumbing down. ... I am a hopelessly uneducated person and really cannot come up
Dark Fiction / Cthulhu Mythos / Only Books I Personally Recommend
Only books with relatively sound narrative logic and few major flaws are included. Most are completed. Readers with similar tastes are welcome to take a look. A short synopsis does not mean a book is bad, I may have finished it too long ago or simply not had time to write one.

My personal picks.
Dark Themes: Twisted Human Nature
Seal the darkness at the bottom of a bottle, and brew the most savage red. Light is called light precisely because darkness sets it off, but all of this meaning has been imposed by human beings. Whether one becomes a Buddha or a demon, the road is paved with countless bones. This list mainly recommends dark novels of all kinds. I will regularly update the collection and clear out books each month. If you know of any excellent dark novels I have missed, please leave me a message.

Some Great Lovecraftian Novels
2022.11.14 This list will probably be archived soon. Lately, I hardly see any recommendations for Lovecraftian or Lovecraftian-style stories. I don't know if my reading tastes have changed or what. Instead, all kinds of supernatural horror stories keep popping up. I really can't get into those. By the end, everything is indescribable. All I can say is that this is a failed attempt to localize Lovecraftian fiction. What a shame. These are the more purely Lovecraftian novels I've dug out of my pe

The author is truly learned.
I've been doing some detective work on the author's works these past few days. Discovering the author's sources of inspiration is as comprehensive as an encyclopedia. Moreover, the speed at which his writing progressed can only be described as the speed of light. Moreover, although the writing style of her early works was immature, the underlying ideas were still considered to be superb.
Some thoughts on this book
I really enjoyed this book. Both the villains and heroes are Dostoevsky characters with a strong desire for self-expression; when they encounter the protagonist, they practically want to tear their guts out and spout their own grand pronouncements, slapping him in the face with their own lofty ideals.
There were no basic mistakes, and the highlights were so numerous they could dazzle my eyes. The ingenious plot, vivid characters, captivating world-building, and insightful yet accessible storytelling... This book has the potential to become an emperor!

Family members, such an amazing male lead deserves some attention. I don't have much money to tip, so I'll just send a teleport 😅
[A Short Comment by an Irresponsible Person] About Grey
The calls for Grey's disappearance have grown increasingly louder lately, and I feel deeply about this, hence this post. This book review represents only my personal opinion and is not intended to start a fight. (Contains spoilers, proceed with caution) In the first six chapters, when I first encountered this character, I also didn't have a good impression of her.
I've subscribed to the entire book. It's a well-written and engaging book that tells a compelling story. The author's personal style is strong, so polarized reviews are normal. For me, personal motivations within a grand narrative can be downplayed; whether the protagonist is a saint or not is irrelevant.
Overall, it's just average. If you're a fan of Fight Club, Planescape: Torment, Chainsaw Man, From the New World, Predestination, Comet's Night, Ted Chiang, Liu Cixin, Chris Avalon games, Quentin Tarantino films, or Brain Hell, this book will be a hit. If not, you're only at a 1 level, not even a 2. This book is very "crazy," getting crazier, deeper, and more amazing.
After reading through the book reviews, I couldn't help but write one.
I've been following this book since it started, and honestly, it's been a long time since I've read a book that I really enjoy. From the plot and foreshadowing to the character development, even the minor characters have their own traits and personalities. For example, Heath and Terry from "The Seagull Story" are memorable.
The author has clearly played Disco Elysium, a rare game that deeply moved me and truly deserves to be called the ninth art. A key concept in Disco Elysium is the Gray Zone, a region filled with idealism that constantly engulfs the material world. The author's Symbolic Realm is also a brilliant concept, somewhat like the collective unconscious but with more idealistic elements. The description of the fall from the material world to the Symbolic Realm in the text is superb—truly brilliant.
