Qidian Book Pavilion
There's probably a bit of everything here. I hope we can recommend books to each other and chat when we're in a reading slump (๑><๑)
Romance Novel List! (Pure Love, One Heroine, Multiple Heroines)
My star ratings are entirely subjective. Here are some great reads I’d like to recommend!
Books I’ve Read Recently
Keeping track of the books I've been reading lately. Some are from Qidian, others from Q Reading.
Learning Alone Without Friends Leads to Narrow Horizons
All of these are complete, and I've finished reading them myself. I hope to share them with more people. ⭐: Dull as dishwater ⭐⭐: Somewhat enjoyable ⭐⭐⭐: Quite engaging ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Full of excitement ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Absolutely breathtaking
Books Hui Meng Has Been Following Lately
These are the books I've been following lately. They're all different genres and picked entirely according to my own tastes. Most are new or early-stage books, so please don't be harsh if they're not for you. If you know any good ones, feel free to recommend them! I've recently started working, so I may have less time to read. Updates to the list may be sporadic.
Only I Can Use Magic + Invincible Protagonist + Feel-Good Reads + Everyday Romance
The motto of this list: cute when I want to be, goofy when I feel like it, a little girl when I play one, a queen when I act the part, a nobody when I need to be, a rich hunk when I dress up, shameless when I show off, rosy-cheeked when I blush, a hipster when I feel like it, and ready for anything from an intense meal to a concert. Are you ready? Come on, baby, I'll bring you all the positive energy you can handle. Note: I mainly recommend invincible-protagonist stories, slice-of-life, cultivat
Highbrow and Lowbrow Alike (Light Novels, Urban Fiction, Reborn, Entertainment)
(Qidian has opened up the ability to create reading lists, so I've sorted the books I recommend into cultivation and everyday urban fiction. You can find another list on my profile. Don't worry, I'll write thoughtful recommendations for books of every kind. I sincerely hope you can discover novels you enjoy here.) I've been reading web novels for about ten years, though on and off. I started reading officially on Qidian in 2020. Actually, I used to check Qidian's monthly ticket rankings back in
Male-Oriented, Wish-Fulfillment, Showbiz, Naruto
My ratings and reviews are pretty subjective, so take them with a grain of salt. The list is deliberately uncategorized. I mostly like feel-good novels that aren't too beginner-friendly. If you enjoy these books, please give the list a follow 🥺 *I'll update recommendations and ratings for ongoing novels based on how they develop, or remove them if needed.
Mujia's Book Nook
I recommend books from all kinds of genres, with no fixed focus. These are just suggestions. If you like them, please give them a thumbs-up. Thanks!
A Booklist of Great Reads: Five Years as a Bookworm, Quality Guaranteed.
System, technology, and farming. Pure farming stories, anime, invincible protagonists, semi-invincible protagonists, and lighthearted comedies are all types I enjoy, so I'll add them to this list too. I hope readers will recommend similar books to me.
Loading Great Books...
🧚♀️🧚♂️ 🧙♂️🧙♀️👒👒 🐥🦆🦖🐢🐊🦎 🧞♂️🧞♂️🚴🏻🚴🏻🐳🐋🐉🐉🐲🐲 Tastes change. The stories I liked ten years ago, the ones I like now, and the ones I'll like ten years from now will be completely different. I hope that the books we enjoy at different stages of life can still be the same. Here are some great books I love!
Books I'm Reading Lately, with Plenty of Romance
Books I've read lately, plus some that suit my taste _(:з"∠)_
Hoping for Curated Picks
All kinds of novels. If you're at a loss for what to read, have a look. Feel free to chat in the comments too.
A Casual Reading List
I’ll usually add a book if it interests me and suits my tastes, and most of the time I go for newer novels. Stories and writing styles in this new era tend to suit me better. I usually write a review and note what stands out about each book I add.
Starting Point Romance
Romantic light novels currently serialized or completed on Qidian, along with some urban or fantasy novels with especially well-written romance. I’ll mark them as suitable for general tastes, worth trying if you want something more challenging, best approached with caution, or only for a small group of seasoned readers (lol). The books are listed in no particular order, just as I added them after clicking through.
Top-Tier Reads
Novels I think are pretty good.
Worthwhile Novels with Multiple Female Leads
"You're all my wings!" "Only with a full set of wings can you soar on the wind~" Romance and love-rival showdowns are the main attractions~ Here are some harem novels that suit my taste. My reviews are pretty subjective, and I'll keep updating this list~
With Three Thousand Streams, Why Choose Just One?
Multiple heroines. They may not all be masterpieces, but at least they have something going for them. The ones rated seven stars are generally worth recommending.
My Light Novel Reading List
For personal use
[Completed Novels Only] Reborn Stories, System Stories, and Romance
Lingling's list of completed books. I mainly enjoy urban fiction, especially reborn and System novels. There are also harem novels, sweet romances, and game novels~ I've fully purchased over 200 novels on Qidian so far~ My ratings are based on four categories: Recommendation Level, Story Concept, Characterization, and Narrative Technique. I hope this list helps you find some literary nourishment when you're out of things to read~
On Constantly Eating Dog Food and Asking Everyone to Leave Yours Here Too
Yeah, basically sweet romance and fluffy stories across all kinds of genres.
Sweet Romance Picks
What's there to talk about when it comes to dating? I'd rather read about other people falling in love in novels.
Unconventional Reading Tastes
Lately, I’ve been more into urban and historical novels. Fantasy and cultivation novels just don’t feel the same as they used to, and Western fantasy has never really appealed to me. I feel like I’m drifting further and further from the mainstream. I like entertainment-industry stories, reborn urban novels, historical fiction, and stories with infinite-flow or System elements. Feel free to take a look.
Two Female Leads, Plus Some Multiple-Female-Lead Stories
Unlike a single-heroine story, where one emotional arc carries through from beginning to end, and better than a harem story, where having multiple love interests can leave them feeling shallow, a two-heroine story strikes a balance between the two. It offers the intense emotional tension readers crave while leaving room to develop the characters fully. Recognizing each character as a person in her own right makes the romance feel all the more precious and moving. Added July 21, 2025: All I can

I've only recently started reading sweet romance novels, any recommendations? Are there any novels with no more than two female leads? Finally, please don't let those utterly scumbag male leads insult my eyes. (Very focused on character development)

Love drifts with the wind, but when the wind stops, the feelings linger.
I am Liu Xiaoyu. I also liked you, but you don't know, and I don't want to like you anymore. I opened my diary, and ever since I met Mei Fang, every entry I made was about him. I don't understand why seeing him brought back a memory. I started to get closer to him, trying to fit in with them, but after seeing Yuanyuan and Youxi, another version of him surfaced in my mind.
I'm really suffering from a reading slump. I've tried three different reading apps and still can't find a single book that suits my taste. I really can't stand those mindless and illogical novels anymore. Please recommend some!
Rather than saying they're both included, or that Lin and Xia are wings, it's more accurate to say that Xia is the center of the trio at this stage. For Xia Yuan, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi are the wings, and now her own wings are starting to get tangled...
Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan? You drive me crazy! Xia Yuan?
Character Extra Building
This is the character/supporting role thread. If you have any supporting characters you'd like to feature, feel free to post their names here. You can also write their backstories or character descriptions, but I might not use them to avoid disrupting the flow. Note: Please use normal Chinese names; avoid puns.
Before discussing why Xia Yuan is a goddess, I want to talk about where other women fall short compared to Yuan Shen. First, Peng Xue committed the sin of arrogance. Then there's Yue Xinyi, who committed the sin of wrath. Next was Guo Yun, who had committed the sin of laziness. Then there's Liu Xiaoyu, who committed the sin of jealousy. Maya, who later committed the sin of greed, Bingbing, who committed the sin of gluttony, Finally, there is Lin Youxi, who committed the sin of lust.
Hello author, I listened to the officially authorized audio version of your book on an audiobook platform. To see the insightful reviews from other readers, I also purchased some chapters of your book on Qidian.com. I'm a seasoned book lover, having read various novels since elementary school until my sophomore year of college.
Sigh, after seeing this, I miss my childhood sweetheart. You could call her my childhood sweetheart, right? We were classmates from first to fourth grade, and we lived together. We went to and from school together. Later, my parents told me that their happiest moment each day was watching me walk home from school with a girl who looked a lot like Xia Yuan—a well-behaved girl, but also very clingy…
