A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!

In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

Green-Haired Rabbit

Be a laid-back reader: savor good books, quietly show my support for authors I like, and drop the ones I don't. Under the sunshine, raindrops patter, the wind howls, and snow piles up layer by layer. Leaning by the windowsill with a cup of tea, coffee, or juice, I've had the habit of reading after lunch for a long time now. I've dropped countless books, but some I've read again and again, and they taste different each time. I read quietly and tip quietly, supporting the authors I like with my ac

A collection of recommended historical novels

Pure Thrills

When I first started reading, I loved fantasy and epic worlds. Later I got into urban stories and wild, imaginative plots, then historical fiction. Now I'm back to fast-paced wish-fulfillment stories. I've been reading for ten years: if the pacing is slow, I won't read it; if it's too short, I won't read it either.

Recommended by a Fifteen-Year Bookworm

Five stars, perfect score. Some of the novels I've saved have excellent writing, characters, and settings; others are simply a matter of personal taste.

First-Order Post Office: Ongoing Recommendations for Excellent Immortal Grass with Strong First-Order Sales!!!

A book's first-day subscription count marks the moment it finally goes on sale. That number directly reflects how well the work is doing and how much support it has from readers. The higher the first-day subscriptions, the more readers are following it and the more popular it is. The subscription-to-collection ratio compares subscriptions with bookmarks. Generally, a lower ratio means readers are more loyal, and the book has a better chance of continuing to grow in popularity. This list recomm
