The title says it all: a collection of novels that strike me as unusual. Updates are irregular, and I'll only add a book when I find one that fits. The list mainly features ongoing works.
Twenty Years of Web Novel Reading
I've been reading web novels for twenty years. Most start strong and then go downhill.

Books for reading after a meal or over tea: cheerful, delightful stories that are perfect for unwinding after work and sure to put you in a good mood!
The World of Xianxia and Fantasy
Cultivation, fantasy, historical fiction, infinite-loop stories, urban entertainment, a bit of everything! I've been reading for years and use books to pass the time after work. I don't mind power fantasies, but you won't find simplistic novels on this list. Overly pretentious ones aren't good for casual reading either. I've carefully picked these books, read them, and enjoyed them enough to recommend them to you. I'm either following every book here or have finished it after purchasing all the
I Love Cultivation and Xuanhuan. Star Ratings for Books I've Read Carefully.
March 2023. I’m fed up with Qidian and have barely been reading lately. So many books near the top of the monthly ticket rankings are disappointing! I review everything I read carefully to help you avoid repeatedly getting burned. The more stars, the better. I’ve read so many books that my standards are high, so I’ve dropped a lot of them. These are my honest opinions, and I can be pretty harsh, so please bear with me. Very few books catch my eye. (I keep up with them as they update, so my revie

Xianxia Novels That Hit the Spot
I've been immersed in xianxia novels for nearly twenty years. I wouldn't claim to be an expert, but I can say I speak honestly and from the heart. I hope to meet more friends who share this love of xianxia and can recommend books to one another sincerely. The road to immortality is long, but there are pearls to be found in the vast sea.

A Casual Reading List: Either the Blurb or the Story Is Unbeatable
2024.11.5: I noticed something interesting. The review sections often have comments asking for a “shennong,” a reader who can test whether a book is worth reading, but comments like that can make authors defensive. Recently I saw someone write, “This book is pretty good. Why are so few people reading it?” That way, the author doesn't feel awkward responding, and it can bring out some genuine opinions. Pretty interesting. 2024.9.8: I just remembered I had a book list. Time to resurrect it. 2023.5
Books So Toxic You're Not Allowed to Say So, or That May Never Be Finished in My Lifetime

Some Books Make You Stay Up All Night Before You Know It Please Support the Like Campaign
A good book is like a fine wine. You keep reading, and suddenly it's morning. We grow older and read more and more, but fewer and fewer books can keep us up all night... Looks like recommendations from other sites won't pass review... I'll revise the description and post it again...

Riding the Wind Beneath the Moon: Classic Xianxia Series Recommendations 🗡️📖
Let a reed carry me where it will, across the vast and boundless waters. Vast and free, as if riding the wind through empty space, with no idea where it will take me; drifting apart from the world, as if transformed into an immortal. Of countless spells and ten thousand paths, I ask just one thing: can they grant eternal life? ⭐⭐⭐ Hello, everyone! The classical cultivation novels I recommend here all focus on freedom, heroic spirit, and an ancient aesthetic. Their prose has an otherworldly qual
Authors Who Keep Abandoning Their Books Are Back: Let’s See How Long They Last, Whether They Can Turn Things Around, and Whether They Can Make It Big
Some old books that went on hiatus for years, even decades, have unexpectedly been dug up by their authors and given new life. That kind of courage is worth getting excited about. Let’s see if these abandoned authors can regain their spark, or even become legendary! If their old books really do find new popularity and turn from rough stones into butterflies, that would be quite a miracle! These are all books that had resumed stable updates for a while and were recommended to me by the System 😏.

Sword Demon Suixinglou
Sword Demon Sui Xing Lou, Solitaire, single characters, words, idioms, poems, homophones, any of them are acceptable, act spontaneously, activate the atmosphere, I will reply to every post, and like it if I post 😀
Can you please stop posting those awkward poems, one for each chapter, and use the poems as setting words? If you want to put a setting poem, you should also use limericks. If your poem is placed without words at the beginning or the end, it can neither refine the content of the previous chapter nor serve as an introduction to the following. When it comes to expressing emotions, how many outstanding emotions do you need to express in the previous chapters? If there are one or two songs after a breakthrough or a big change in life and death, then of course that's fine. But why should poems be forced into chapters where Chun Chun advances the plot or introduces settings? Don't post poems without emotional foundation. If you want to embellish the scene, just write a limerick or a setting poem. Don't add any superfluous words.
The sword is originally a demon. Look at it. It's beautifully written.
Before Chapter 62, the more I read, the more interesting it became, and I always wanted to know the subsequent development. But in Chapter 62 and Chapter 63, regarding the issue of the families of corrupt officials, I disagree. As a corrupt official, that is, a person who enjoys benefits, how can he be innocent? How can we talk about tolerance? In my opinion, sparing one life means showing mercy outside the law. They are all guilty even those who enjoy the benefits. If they are innocent and talk about tolerance, then are their family members being compensated by greed? Wives and children are separated, families are broken up and many people die! Just like it is written in the book that children buy from brothels, should they? Who told them they were innocent? Who told them they were tolerant? As a person who enjoys benefits, if he commits a crime, then even the child in his belly is guilty, because if he wants to give birth to him, the mother must eat well, sleep well, take supplements, and serve the servants. So where does the money come from? Those who are involved in corruption and bribery are all sinners. Where does the innocence come from? How can it be tolerated? Of course, I know that many people will say that my idea is too extreme, but it is true, and we should not talk about innocence and tolerance.
It can be regarded as an explanation to everyone. .
As mentioned. . .
Active book club welfare activities.
The weekly contribution value of the book club is greater than or equal to 210. Come to the book club to find me to receive benefits. Ps. The benefits for new accounts are halved. Other benefits include excellent fan posts and book reviews. All major events submitted will be rewarded. It's not much for just 80 cents, but I'm just happy. Of course you still need to add insurance, what if there is a fire? ! Therefore, funds are limited and will be distributed while supplies last, hehe. 😁 It should be noted that when friends are filling water, try to stay only in their own buildings. Don't post shit all the time. That's it for now, I'll add more when I think of it. 😁
Further news.
Oh, just wait a little longer and wish the author a speedy recovery.
Posting to each other, the sunset leaps into the far starry field, it is suddenly late in the world, and the mountains and rivers have already autumn.
