The Demoness-Taming Handbook: Learn How to Tame Demonesses Multiple Female Leads
This list is mainly for stories I enjoy. I'll point out any major flaws. I only include stories I can wholeheartedly recommend. (I've been reading for over 15 years.) This list mainly features male-oriented stories with multiple female leads. It includes mind games, comedy, cultivation, and light novels. Every book here is one I've picked out as a great web novel. I only recommend stories that are at least solid reads. I hope this list is helpful. Since you've made it this far, why not like, sa
Chen's Reading List
Very good
✨ "Multiple Heroines" Graceful as a Startled Swan✨ ✨ "Epang Palace" Supple as a Soaring Dragon✨
🔥 I've read every kind of romance under the sun, and this list has the finest of them all. Graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon, Radiant as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as spring pines. Faintly like the moon veiled by light clouds, Drifting like snow blown back by the wind. From afar, bright as the sun rising through morning clouds. Up close, radiant as a lotus emerging from clear water. Her figure is perfectly proportioned, neither too slender nor too full. Her shoul
Some Books I’ve Read and Found Quite Good
Not much to say. I'm running out of things to read lately, so I'd love recommendations for interesting books that are still being serialized or have over 1,000 chapters.
My Personal Reading List
With over a decade of reading under my belt, these books seem decent in terms of plot and writing. Divided into top-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier fodder.

1. The funniest thing about this book is the "cultivation" theme. Seriously, if you can't write well, don't even touch the fantasy genre. Why not stick to urban fiction? Trying to write fantasy without even understanding it properly results in this nonsensical mess that's truly baffling. (Especially the part about cracking down on prostitution in the cultivation world—it's so awkward.)
Just finished watching Tea Flavor for the second time, looking forward to Chang'an's new work (ps: Jiang Manyue is forever amazing, so cute, crazy killing and the male lead's first blood, the empress).
I went bankrupt buying Lu Qingming's stocks
Brothers, I'm all in. Trust me, I'm definitely going to win this round. Lu Qingming is the undisputed queen. I'm giving away 10,000 coins to show my determination.
Let's gamble on whether Chang'an can rebuild its glory of a million words.
What should I do if I want to stab the male lead to death after reading the first 5 chapters? He reeks of scum.
Let me tell you, she's now the junior sister. Now he wants to bite the protagonist to death; this is the personality he has in the book written by Chang'an. How should I put it? She was the one who had the most stomach pain later on. I was the first person he met, I was always by his side, and I even lent him spirit stones. Why did he end up with the Holy Maiden? Then what am I? (That's all I have to say)
What kind of idiotic plot is this? The protagonist uses the Heavenly Frost Sword Intent during the competition, then says he can't lie or he'll have trouble explaining later, and then turns around and lies to Susu, tricking her into accepting the title of "Simp Saintess," deliberately trying to disgust people? Does he really think damaging a girl's reputation is fun?
An invincible beginning, an incredibly toxic plot, and a utterly awful ending. The female leads and supporting characters are all great, representing various types, but why include several older women? It's unnecessary. And honestly, the ending was worse than just saying the protagonist got a cheat code and instantly defeated the boss. It was truly awful to read.
A little suggestion for readers
There are a few major flaws and a constant stream of minor ones, but the book is still quite good; it's the kind of book where it would be a shame to give up. Therefore, I suggest readers with a low tolerance for bad reading habits read it before bed. That way, you can go to sleep when you encounter a bad point, and you won't feel the urgency when you wake up. I've personally tested it and it works! 🤣👍
The more he progresses, the more obsequious he becomes. I'm fed up. I couldn't stand watching Lu and Qin extort the protagonist's most precious treasure.
