Chen R’s Reading List
Books that are pleasant to read, from a pretty wide range of genres.
Personal Favorites
I’ve been reading novels for years, so I’m keeping a record of what I’ve read as a keepsake. I’ve read every book on this list at least once. I lean toward fantasy, transmigration, no heroine or a single heroine, System stories, extreme-path cultivation, and so on. (Just adding the blurbs for now. I’ll fill in the comments when I have time.)
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.
[Great Books Are Meant to Be Shared] (Personally Vetted, Well Worth Reading)
I've read every book on this list myself. Only the interesting ones make the cut. Please follow and send flowers.
Plot Notes
A memo for keeping track of plot points and settings in books that catch my interest.
Interesting Books
For those
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.
Some Mystery Novels I’ve Read
Some good novels I've read recently
Finished at Last, Time to Celebrate
Unforgettable novels I followed back in the day.
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
Infinite Flow + No Romance + Original Dungeons
Any book with all three of these features goes on the list: infinite flow, no female lead, and original arcs. See the recommendations for details on content warnings and other specifics.
Yang Yang's Private Bookshelf
Some novels I've read before and others I'm currently following.
The Wasteland Book Nook
There are countless new books coming out every day, yet plenty of people still find themselves in a reading slump. There are so many books, but it's hard to know where to start. Which new releases are the best? You'll waste time comparing them all, so why not let me help you find some gems in the vast sea of books? To help you through a reading slump, this list focuses on new releases and promising early-stage novels that I enjoy and think are worth reading. I have eclectic tastes and may enjoy
For Personal Use | Xianxia, Fantasy, Wuxia, Light Novels, and a Little History and Mystery
Since someone actually reads these, I’ll give them a proper introduction. This is a purely subjective list, so don’t get hung up on the ratings. /Selection criteria: Promising new books, by big-name authors or newcomers alike. I only care whether I like them. I’ll update my reviews as new books build up a backlog. (Assuming I remember.) A few older books I like (very few). I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date. I’ll specifically mark the ones I’ve forgotte
Sound Logic, Fresh Concepts
A personal library focused on books with unusual premises, sound logic, and no [incomplete in source] novels. The point of reading is to discover all kinds of fascinating new worlds.
Cast a Wide Net, Reel In the Best: A Cure for Reading Slumps
A picky reader with ten years of experience. No protagonists getting tortured, no authors casually killing off popular characters, and no male leads neglecting their careers to fuss over romance in what are basically romance novels for men. 💝🙏💡 I like farming stories, slice-of-life, and everyday-life stories, as well as exciting, action-packed power fantasies. A story is slow-paced only if readers think it is. Don't use
The Whole Reading List
A bit of everything. No abandoned endings, dropped series, or harem stories, please.
Wild Ideas and Settings, Mostly Finished
Some books that caught my interest (The Silver Wheel, Dragon Throne, Diary of a Data Organism, Raising Monsters
Anime, Transmigrate, System, and Brainstorming Reads |•'-'•)و✧
Mostly anime-inspired stories, transmigration, System, sci-fi, magic, fantasy, and similar novels. I've read every book on the list, so they're safe and free of nasty surprises. Enjoy! P.S. What are flowers even for?
Easygoing Novels That Defy the Usual Tropes
My personal reading list
Shouwang’s Little Granary
Good books, love them, read more of them
All Great Reads, Any Genre
I personally prefer works with good prose and expansive frameworks. Novels with poor writing are truly unreadable to me. I usually read twenty chapters before deciding whether to add a book to my shelf, and I'm a slow reader at that. I rarely add a book to this list before reading several hundred chapters. I can guarantee that every book here is top quality and worth getting hooked on. I favor independent and self-reliant protagonists, and it's even better when the supporting characters shine as
Certified Great Reads by a 26-Year Bookworm
No brainless stories. I've been reading novels since 1999, and I generally can't bring myself to read truly mediocre books.
No-CP Reading List,
I originally made this list hoping people would recommend books to me too, but after all this time, only a few have been recommended. A lot of my other lists have been abandoned, and I don’t feel like keeping this one up anymore either... From now on, I’ll just update it whenever I feel like it.

Seventh runner | This is my planet - Sixteen Veins Flower
"So, shouldn't you explain the current situation to me, Deng Yilin?" Gaia maintained her composure, smiling at Deng Yilin, and she hadn't even let go of his arm. Deng Yilin swallowed hard. "You, how did you know it was me?" He had felt he had everything under control, but Gaia's simple question broke him down. Gaia yawned lazily. "Ah—, I was just guessing. I don't know if it's true or not.
Lu Mingzhe fan art
A few days ago, I saw that Lu Mingzhe had passed away, and I wanted to commemorate him, so I tried to draw a fan art. It was a version with the "thunder" character enhanced by adding the "violent" and "broad" characters. (Sigh, the picture I imagined was great, but the actual result was a bit disappointing. Please bear with it.)
If all characters appear
Help! I can't draw perspective and human anatomy. I watched it all in one go while it was free for a limited time. In the summer, the husky tried to sneak out with its owner and got caught red-handed.
Li Huachao and the Cockroach Girl
It has a strong aftereffect.
All character designs in my fan art
I drew everyone in the main universe! A rough sketch with a mechanical pencil, please forgive the roughness 🙏 (Sorry, the original image could not be uploaded due to a system glitch. I have replaced it with a screenshot.)
An Buchen
Yu Liang, a web novelist, always needs to request leave when he's doing online games, sometimes even at the beginning of the month. His daily updates are also very short, so he basically survives on instant noodles or a ten-yuan bowl of takeout (meat broth noodles or just plain vegetable broth noodles).
#FunnyEmojis# The True Face of Li Huachao
Changing the main character midway through a game was a major taboo in the past. When I saw that they had created the character Li Huachao, I felt something was off, and then during the rabbit dungeon, I just couldn't hold back anymore. The protagonist of Biyang's story is constantly sleeping and skipping events, with Li Huachao, this abstract and amusing character, handling everything.
I drew fan art 😌. Please be gentle if there are any differences from the story, haha. It's all based on my imagination. I mainly wanted to draw cute little paper dolls.
