Great Books That Keep You Turning the Pages
Books I can't wait to read in one sitting, with none that make me want to give up halfway through. The list may be short, but every title is one I've read myself and want to share. I hope to make this a list of women's fiction classics.
A Guide to Memories
A record of books I've browsed. ★ I really don't get it. I've already rewritten the blurb with this much detail, so what exactly is keeping it from passing review? I've been really into eerie and supernatural stories over the past year, but I prefer ones where characters outsmart the rules and figure out how to break them. I'm not into the kind of power fantasy where they just flip the table to solve everything, especially when divine possession gives the protagonist cheat powers. I usually end
Saved Good Reads
I've been reading for ages. I mainly read historical romance, but I also enjoy fantasy and pay close attention to the writing. I've found plenty of great books over the years, so here's a record of the ones I truly consider worthwhile! Good prose matters, as do sound logic and a good set of values!
Reborn Mystery Crime Series
Reborn stories with suspenseful plots or more sophisticated power plays
My Picks, My Rules
A good story also needs good writing, and good writing also needs a solid structure. Most importantly, I have personally tested every one of them...
Books I've Read Over the Years
A casual record made after reading.
A Love So Deep, I Know Not Where It Leads
I’ve read a lot of books, and there are always a few that linger in my mind. Mostly historical romance, transmigrate, and reborn stories, with sweet romances where the heroine is doted on. I don’t recommend stories without some twists. I like a little complexity, but not monologues.
Green-Haired Rabbit
Be a laid-back reader: savor good books, quietly show my support for authors I like, and drop the ones I don't. Under the sunshine, raindrops patter, the wind howls, and snow piles up layer by layer. Leaning by the windowsill with a cup of tea, coffee, or juice, I've had the habit of reading after lunch for a long time now. I've dropped countless books, but some I've read again and again, and they taste different each time. I read quietly and tip quietly, supporting the authors I like with my ac
Absolutely No Mindless Stories
I've been browsing Qidian for almost eight years, and both my age and my taste in books have grown. I can't handle brainless or beginner-level stories. I also can't handle the overly cerebral novels aimed at male readers. I'm a casual reader of women's fiction. I like entertaining little stories to pass the time. Sharing them here for everyone to enjoy!
Personal Bookshelf: Historical Romance
The stories I love
Female-Led Stories: No Romance, All Career
These are all unusual, unconventional novels aimed at female readers. Most have very little romance, and some have no romance at all. Almost all are by established authors with a solid body of work, so you're in safe hands!
My Favorites, Where My Heart Leads, Unstoppable
A brave male lead and an elf heroine, a match made in heaven. Who else could be better? Transmigration, reborn characters, modern suspense: it's all here.
Everything I Read Is a Gem
No group, no organization, no mutual support, and nothing to do with any author collective. This list is powered by love. No bashing or blind praise, just my personal taste. I admire authors who recommend their own work and have the courage to do so! Whether a book makes it onto my list depends on whether it's my cup of tea. ……………………………………………………… 🌞 I'll try to read more new books and look for promising ones, but my standards will still be high. I hope to find some hidden gems in the making. 🌞 Ev
Worth Investing in During 2023
Books I have been following recently, most of them are pretty good
A Bit of Everything
Male-oriented historical fiction and doctor stories, plus female-oriented transmigration, reborn, romance, and food stories. Books I can stick with
Books to Read in This Lifetime
May they all be completed within my lifetime. Not ranked in any particular order.
🍁Historical Romance Is My Favorite, Quick Transmigration Comes Second!
Female-led stories, delicate romantic relationships, and everyday life that's simple but never tedious: these are the things that draw me in. As a bookworm who only reads female-led stories, I dread running out of books, and it happens to me too. So here I am, drifting around Qidian and lurking~\(≧▽≦)/~

A suggestion to the author: The heroine's character is completely downplayed in this book. There are too few descriptions about the heroine's life experience, emotions, etc. When it comes to the heroine, it is about how to cook in detail. Each meal takes up a chapter. It seems that spending money depends on how to cook. It is not worth reading the whole book. Even if it is a food article, it must at least have the protagonist's story progress, otherwise we can just go to the bookstore and buy a "Gourmet Encyclopedia". The food really took the spotlight. Then there is the "sense of separation between food and investigation" raised by another reader, because there is no intersection between the male and female protagonists on the case in the book. Every time the male protagonist just investigates the case, the female protagonist disappears from the perspective. We readers may prefer to see the heroine, as the protagonist, participate in the investigation and provide ideas or suggestions from a modern perspective. Now the only intersection between the male and female protagonists is eating. The main storyline is not exciting enough, lacks small climaxes, and occasionally has a little baggage, which is mainly due to the male protagonist. The heroine simply cooks, cooks, cooks... After all, as female readers, we would rather see the heroine have more important roles instead of cooking from beginning to end. Even the meal itself takes away the heroine's sense of existence. It seems that the food is more like the protagonist than the heroine. The overall story is quite heartwarming, which is why I have followed it until now, but the main plot (I think it is the twists and turns and development from the female protagonist's perspective) has never existed. I am also tired of always watching the whole chapter of cooking without other content, and I may not renew my subscription in the future. It's not that I want to quit. It makes the author unhappy to write this here. I just want to give the author a suggestion, because there may be many readers who abandon the article halfway and feel the same as me 1. Reduce the description of cooking and the meal itself, make the heroine truly the protagonist, and let her other aspects besides cooking (such as exploring the secret of the family's death) as the main plot. You can put a few villains to provide twists and climaxes. 2. Don't completely separate the investigation from the food. Let the female protagonist participate in the male protagonist's career to some extent, so that the story will look more complete.
The latest news from Manman, book friends, check it out! ! !
I saw on the Internet that Manman was not feeling well and the news was uncertain. Today she replied to me. Book friends, please wait a little longer, Manman will be fully restored and then updated. 😳😳😳
Author, you are writing about Dali Temple, which is a prison. There are some prisoners inside, and they eat well and drink hot food every day. Is it really okay? Earlier, there were people from Dali Temple who said they should eat better to avoid being accused of abusing prisoners when they were transferred to a higher-level prison? ? ? What qualifications do prisoners have to eat well, and what courage do they have to complain to higher-level prisons because of poor food? They really think that they come to prison to eat delicious food and enjoy happiness. Your setting of officials and prisoners eating together can be changed. How can prisoners eat the same meals as officials? Since it is a small canteen, it is only for officials and government officials. How do prisoners have the right to eat well and drink hot food? They are given a different menu every day. It's impossible in modern times, let alone ancient times.
The recently updated articles are not as good as before
The articles were getting longer and longer, and they were full of profound meanings. It was confusing to read. Originally, the novel was simple and direct, but it was made as if it were political. There was always an insinuation about something that had to be reported to the court. I was really convinced. One case had eight hundred meanings. The article said that there were fewer and fewer delicacies. It was not as good as before, and I was tired of reading it.
About updates
I'm sorry, because Manman has encountered some things that have affected her, so updates have been suspended recently. She will be back, book friends, wait a moment. Before this happens, book friends can recommend some favorite books to each other to relieve the pain of waiting. 😊😊😊
Everyone is talking about making jokes, I just want to say that the popular routines at the moment are just a few, space, rebirth and time travel, etc., They are all the same routine. It is normal to make jokes, but when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! ! ! It doesn't matter if it's a joke, it's just better than the writing style! Why do some writers' novels have very good themes, but they just can't get the flavor out of them? Isn't it a matter of writing style? ? As long as it looks good, everything is easy to say! ! Come on, Pikachu! !
I'm not looking for trouble, nor am I a hater. I'm just an ordinary passerby who once liked this author's work. I really want to ask: Has the author been robbed? What are these written about? 😅🤔😓😵
The comic books are getting better and better, and I am more than 30 years old. Recently, the book shortage is so bad that I am almost growing hairy. I browse through the library to pick out a few books to read, but I can't stand it after reading the beginning. Maybe it is because I am getting older. The current authors are too young, and there is already a generation gap...
New readers attracted by limited exemption
Chapter 480 was quite interesting before, but I was very confused after reading chapters 490-520. Why did there suddenly be no plot at all, it was just blockbuster dialogues, and the sentences were getting longer and longer, as if it was a different author... I haven't had time to read it after chapter 520, and I hope it will return to the original excitement.
The writing style has changed a lot since then. Although I don't know what happened to the author in the third dimension, it's really a pity that the writing was so good before. It's such a pity that I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
