I've been an avid reader for over a decade. I'm using this list to share the good books I've read recently. P.S. Novels on this list that are over two million words long, have decent ratings, and have neither stopped updating nor disappeared will be moved to another one of my lists. 😀

No Beginners, Please: A Veteran Reader's Picks
If you’re a beginner who likes satisfying stories, face-slapping, broken engagements, and the like, don’t read this! This list isn’t for you! There’s no excessive wish fulfillment here; only carefully crafted plots can move me. I update the list from time to time. There are relatively few fantasy and cultivation novels, and more historical ones. I’m sticking to quality over quantity, even if that means catering to a niche.
Guilt-Free Comfort Reads
These are gems in my opinion. Please don't flame me if you disagree.
A Big Mixed Bag
I don’t read much xuanhuan. I prefer fantasy, multiverse stories, light novels, and historical fiction.

Discuss the author's aesthetics
This book is one of the few that matches my aesthetic standards, and it's also the only one among all the Siheyuan books I've read that points out the fact that the female characters in the original novel are not good-looking! Hao Lei, the actress who played Qin Huairu, was initially quite appealing, but the reality is that she's a mother of three and her life is a mess.
I'm getting a bit tired of it. There's always gossip surrounding widows. Is the author obsessed with widows, or is he just stuck in the original storyline? Isn't his wife at home better? Why is he constantly entangled with several widows? Xu Damao is a playboy, but what about himself? Standing on his moral high ground, looking down on everyone.
I admire myself for reading to 800 chapters, but I really can't continue. All I want to do now is curse the author, without any limits, cursing their entire family. It's getting more and more disgusting. The protagonist isn't weak at all; he's incredibly strong. But the author insists on making him feel weak, constantly oppressed, and never changing.
The writing lacks any sense of perspective.
The reason this book isn't popular is because its scope is too narrow. It's about a reborn character with cheat codes, a spatial ability, and the ability to teleport. The author acts like he's invincible, yet he's constantly being bossed around and controlled. Even if he's afraid of being censored, there's no need to write such a cowardly story.
In the first few chapters, the protagonist seems a bit cowardly and timid. The last book I read was "The Courtyard: Food and Sex," also set in a courtyard, featuring a retired soldier and a security guard at a steel mill. But the protagonist there was incredibly domineering. When Jia Zhangshi started trouble, he pulled out a gun, scaring her so much she wet herself.
I wonder if the author's personality is similar to the protagonist's: eccentric, clueless despite his age, naive, and promiscuous; a scoundrel who pretends to be virtuous while being promiscuous in relationships; in short, a conceited, selfish, and petty person who suddenly becomes rich and lawless.
Having read 300 chapters, the author forcibly sends the female lead away, mindlessly forcing her. It seems the author has lost track of what they're writing, with frequent off-screen laughs—something like wicked smiles. Good heavens, it's 2024. Sometimes I feel like I'm reading a 20-year-old classic... Goodbye. See you later.
Some people actually said that Yang Caiyu wasn't pretty, and even compared her to Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu. I can't stand this anymore. The manuscript has reached chapter 246. Although they are not married yet, Comrade Caiyu has already become a part of Xiao Du's life, ingrained in his blood and bones. I've fallen in love with her. Saying she's not pretty is definitely not enough; see the picture above.
I watched half of it. The rest was acceptable, but the romance was terrible. If you're going to have a harem, just have one; stop with the pretentious and hypocritical stuff.
To be honest, this book isn't bad compared to other fanfictions of its kind; it's readable! But that's about it! It lacks the feel of the 1960s, the romance is rushed, and the conflicts feel forced. Leaving aside the bigger issues, just this simple example: I've read a couple hundred chapters, and why does the author insist on the female lead dropping out of school after only a few months?
