Chen R’s Reading List

Books that are pleasant to read, from a pretty wide range of genres.

46Books61Follows14dUpdated

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.

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

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 I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date.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

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

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

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.
