Sharing Some Books I'm Reading
I have been an avid reader for more than ten years, and fewer and fewer books can hold my attention. I move back and forth among lists from famous authors and friends, finding quite a lot, while also feeling that authors who put real care into their work are often hard to notice. So I created this list to share books I think are pretty good. I hope excellent works can find more readers who will love them.

Books I Like, with Ideas and a Well-Developed World
My tastes are all over the place. I enjoy xianxia, xuanhuan, Western fantasy, fantasy, fanfiction, gaming, history, urban fiction, wuxia, farming novels, and more. I can appreciate them all. I especially like books with original ideas. Many books on this list may not be the best or the newest, and some are even ones I used to dislike, but I've read pretty much all of them,
Only Worth Reading If It Has Something Fresh, No Clichés
I've read so many books that I can usually predict what comes next as soon as I spot the formula. These days it's one overused trope after another. Either it's one fight after another, until reading becomes exhausting. Or the story plunges into one long dungeon arc. It's convenient for the author, but it really insults the reader's intelligence. Or the author thinks they're clever and that their comedy is hilarious, when in reality it's just... painfully bad. Personally, I think a good author s

For When You're Out of Books: All Personally Read and Completed Gems
I guarantee I've read every book on this list in full. I try not to include works that are especially popular. I'll note if a story falls apart at the end, but if it's still on the list, that says even more about how good it is.
Web Novel Picks: Not for Beginners, Off the Beaten Path
Not beginner-level fiction. Personal taste, entirely subjective. I'll score each work based on my preferences, out of 10. The books on the rankings are pretty good, but most put commercial success first. They're like junk food: great the first time, but too much gets cloying, and they don't have much to offer beyond passing the time. These days I mostly browse at random, and I'm not as free as I used to be, so finding a book that suits my taste is pretty rare. I've read every book I review. I
Books That Have Kept Me Company Through the Years
My tastes are pretty eclectic, and I feel like I've become pickier over the years. These are novels I've stuck with for a long time, along with a few that hold a special place in my heart.

Happy Little Fairy's Reading List: Quality Over Quantity
I like feel-good power fantasies. You can read my review of Lord of the Mysteries on this list to see what I mean by “feel-good.” If you agree with my take, I don't think our tastes will be too far apart. This list is for books from 2018 onward that I've finished or am interested in finishing. If I can finish a book, I'll give it at least an 8.0, so short stories may have a bit of an advantage. It's all personal taste; we can agree to disagree.
A Random Collision of All Kinds of Stories

There's something here for everyone. Only books that excel in some way make the list, and I absolutely won't pick them from various rankings. The list covers all kinds of genres, so I recommend trying everything. It's mainly aimed at male readers. I try to avoid brainless invincible protagonists, and any book riddled with logica

Finding Gold in a Sea of Books
I’ve been a voracious reader for ten years. I started reading novels around 2012 or 2013, and discovered Qidian around 2017, so I guess I’m an old Qidian reader too. This list focuses on books with no major deal-breakers. I’m sharing some of the urban, historical, fantasy, xuanhuan, magic, sci-fi, and gaming novels I’ve read. For now, I’ll only share books that are updating regularly and have over 500,000 characters, or are already complete. Thanks for following and supporting me!

Worth Remembering

Wise Men Don't Fall in Love (No Female Lead) and Yaya Stories
All the recommendations are ongoing novels, and I try to include a variety of genres. There definitely won't be any fan fiction or modern urban novels. I'm easily distracted, so I probably won't finish the novels I recommend. I'm very sorry about that (シ_ _)シ I'm just an amateur recommending books, so please bear with me ◝(⑅•ᴗ•⑅)◜ I usually won't recommend novels with lots of female side characters. If I do, I'll clearly mark them, so if that's not your thing, enter at your own risk. Most of th

Due to the author's poor health, this book will be updated in a concentrated manner, based on the plot. The next update will go directly to the end of Volume 3.
As the title suggests, Lao Huang recently went to the hospital for a checkup due to severe insomnia, gastrointestinal discomfort, and allergies. He was told that all his symptoms were caused by excessive mental stress. Writing is a long-term battle, so for the sake of his health, quality of life, and the quality of this book, the author has decided to stop daily serialization and instead update a…

[Situation Report] Dear readers, thank you for your patience. After a period of rest and travel, Lao Huang's condition has stabilized, and he is gradually emerging from his depression. Work on this book has resumed, and updates will resume once the second volume is finished. Thank you again for your support and patience.

Heaven and Earth Stairs
Heavenly Ranking: "Qi that can subdue mountains and rivers" - Xiao Ding, *The Purple Cloud Dragon Transformation Scripture* "The Wheel of Life" by Guan Qimai, from the *Yi Mu Qing Lang Jing* (The Classic of the Green Wolf). Yi Zhen, who "acts as a representative of Heaven in punishing evil," from the *Void Thunder Scripture*. "
Today's update includes 16 chapters totaling 39,000 words. The remaining content of Volume 3 will be updated in June after Lao Huang finishes writing it. Thank you all for your support! Sorry for the wait.
This synopsis is far too one-sided, really. It fails to capture the essence of the book and only creates a stereotype—a modern person who time-travels and uses modern technology to show off. The synopsis doesn't match the content; the content is far more compelling.
Situation Report 12.18
The author is currently in a period of medical treatment and rest, and has been trying new sleeping pills and anxiety relievers. Regarding writing, there are some ideas, but not many; efficiency will only improve once the author is in good physical and mental condition. In short, they definitely won't run away, just not that quickly. Thank you for your concern, friends.
This book is truly excellent. The characters are so well-developed, portraying the rebirth of someone who has genuinely experienced the harsh realities of society. The supporting characters are also very well-developed. Hong Jian's death was a minor surprise.
Progress is going smoothly, and Volume 2 is expected to be completed by October 1st. Stay tuned! 😁
