My Book List
I'm a committed supporter of polyamorous romance. If you don't like harem novels (harem doesn't mean a womanizer), please move along. What I hate most are xianxia and fantasy novels where the protagonist becomes a cold, loveless rock in the name of being ruthless and decisive. If you like xianxia or fantasy, this list isn't for you.
Book Pavilion
A collection of all kinds of excellent books, updated regularly with new titles currently on my reading list.
My Reading List in Progress
Books I'm letting build up before I read them.
Wildly Imaginative Stories
Only quality works make the list. I'm dedicated to finding good books. If you enjoy these, please add the list to your favorites. There's a great novel to read every day. I've been reading for fifteen years. I read every genre, but a good story matters most. Not ranked in any particular order. Dropped or discontinued novels will be removed.

Too much violence, coupled with distorted values. For example, knowing the Japanese have an ambush, yet letting them kill people before finally taking action—what's the point? American heroism: killing a villain results in heavy casualties, while the villain constantly calls them anti-bandits—how audacious!
It's a clear case of starting strong but ending weak. The protagonist's martial arts have reached an almost superhuman level, but to maintain a low profile and avoid being taken advantage of... He drastically reduced the price of his Heavenly Fragrance Fish by half. Is he lacking in intelligence? At that point, what difference does it make whether you earn 100 million or 1 billion? Others aren't stupid. Your formula will be infinitely valuable. The trouble will still come eventually.
I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's the return of the Dragon King. What's with the title "King of Men"? The Dragon King is so much better!
Can you please stop using your half-baked classical Chinese? It's so awkward. Do you think this shows off your writing skills?
Brainless; harem; morally reprehensible; I'm just casting a monthly vote to say a few words.
The opening felt disjointed, with no backstory or setup before the plot began.
It got less and less interesting, so I left.
It's amazing that the protagonist of a novel doesn't even have his background explained.
The author's idea is good, and the content shows good intention; however, why can't the world-building be more rigorous? It's a mess, really painful to read; the logical relationships are also incomprehensible.
Take the system of state ownership of land as an example. Before Shang Yang's reforms, this was the system—what we now call public ownership—was aristocratic ownership before the Warring States period. Everyone outside the aristocracy was a tenant farmer.
