A Simple, Unassuming Personal Collection
A personal reading list based purely on my own tastes. I've read and enjoyed every book here. Everyone has different preferences, of course, but I hope this list helps you find some books you'll like that you haven't read yet!
Fun, Lighthearted Reads, Quality Guaranteed
Books that are definitely good, with something for every taste.
Book Collection
This list is simply a collection of works I’ve enjoyed, along with a few shallow thoughts from an old web-novel fan who’s been reading since 2000. Hope you enjoy browsing.
My Personal List, So I Don't Forget
If you're out of books to read, come on in and browse. There's bound to be something for you.
I Once Hoped You'd Be My Private Reading
Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again! Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again! Slurp, what's this? A great story! Time to read it again!
In a Reading Slump? Veteran Readers, Come On In
I've added a recommendation rating system. Five stars: A must-read masterpiece in its category, the kind you'll regret missing. Four stars: A great pick in its category. Generally, a book needs solid prose, pacing, and plot to make the cut. Three stars: A mixed bag. Whether it appeals to you is up to the author's skill. My main recommendations are historical, gaming, and urban fiction.
Never Get Tired of Rereading Them, Always Nostalgic
This is a collection of novels by a middle-aged homebody who has been reading for 15 years. I've spent 15 years reading on Qidian, switching accounts four times along the way. Many old memories are tied to these books. Although many can no longer be found, plenty of classics remain. I update this list irregularly with books I'm currently reading. Anything I recommend is something I was genuinely able to get into. My personal preferences lean mainly toward history, competitive sports, and games.

A Veteran Reader's Review-Style Guide (Entirely Subjective)
Must-read (95–100) > Brilliant (90–95) > Excellent (75–90) > Good (60–75) > Not worth the effort (below 60) Every book the author has seen through to completion represents a great deal of hard work. My ratings are subjective, so feel free to agree to disagree.
The Most Beautiful Book List
A lifetime of love, a lifetime of soul; a cup of wine, a cup of dust. When the dust settles, I look back at dusk; flowers and moonlight adorn the stars. The vast starry sky is all solitude; the waters flow on, and the grass grows green each spring. Through love and hate, the author laughs like a fool; the people in books are loveliest of all.

Great Books Worth Reading
I prefer lighthearted books with a bit of mystery. The genre doesn’t matter that much as long as it’s well written: cultivation, wuxia, infinite worlds, System stories, quick transmigration, and so on.

A charming author, updating online. Dear readers, are you here for this author, or for that beauty?

Do you know how many of us brothers have been waiting for Shrimp to stop writing urban novels and start writing about online games? I came here after the group exploded with excitement. 14 Recommendations and full subscriptions daily are the bare minimum, and donations are a must. I hope Shrimp won't let us down and will create even greater success!

I fantasized about what a skilled assassin like Mist would look like later on!
Shadow Family Portrait
For unknown reasons, the previous family photo post is now only visible to me (the main post), and I can't see the pictures... So I've deleted it and am reposting it. Due to space limitations (only ten pictures are allowed), there is a family photo and an introduction to the eight main characters. The introductions to Cuiyu and Huasheng will be posted in a separate thread.
The part where the protagonist kills the female NPC really got to me. Honestly, killing in a post-apocalyptic setting is understandable, and killing an NPC in a game is even more understandable, but has the author forgotten the background setting? This game is essentially a test, determining your status after returning to Earth.
The first three chapters were so off-putting! What was with that woman who stopped the car? The dialogue was weird too. The protagonist didn't react at all to someone like that? What the heck?
Sigh, I'm still not satisfied. I've reread this book several times, and this was the third time it ended. But Shana and Lin Meng's relationship collapsed, which was a bit upsetting. The ending was, to put it mildly, very much in the style of Shrimp (a famous Taiwanese writer known for his dramatic and sometimes unconventional writing style). It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't satisfying. I don't think I'll reread it a fourth time... Because I was so disappointed with the ending.

Let's do some rehabilitation!
Why do post-apocalyptic novels always feature such a simply male protagonist?
For those new readers who don't know this, here are 16 more books by Xia: 1. Online games The story background of "Twin Swords" is somewhat similar to this one. The protagonist is Dongfang Qiezi, and he has a group of friends/family members? Or maybe a group of mischievous friends?
Dear fellow book lovers, is there a game where I don't do dungeons or grind monsters, but just complete story quests, such as running errands, delivering items, mediating NPC disputes, solving riddles, or composing poems? Are there any casual games you'd recommend? I really want to play games, but I also need to set a good example as a parent. I think I saw something similar a long time ago.
