A good book and a fine pot of tea. Even after savoring them, their flavors linger.

New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)

As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

Books I'm Testing

These are based on my personal tastes. Most are books I dropped after reading the beginning, so don't click if that bothers you. Rated out of five: 1 means I dropped it right away; 2–3 means it has some bright spots or no major flaws, and made me want to see how the plot unfolds; 4 means it's good in every respect and has standout qualities.

An Eclectic Reading List of Unconventional Works

The title says it all: a collection of novels that strike me as unusual. Updates are irregular, and I'll only add a book when I find one that fits. The list mainly features ongoing works.

Mostly Ongoing Series, Let's Read Along (Lots of Wacky Comedies)

A little list of novels I’m following. I’ll try to recommend books that are still updating. Main picks: Sci-fi, anime and manga, and young adult romance I like novels with expansive worlds and a comedic tone. The protagonist doesn’t have to be smart, but they can’t be an idiot. I hope everyone can build up their tolerance for bad books. There aren’t many authors who can write a great opening and blurb, but plenty can write a good story. Don’t leave just because I update the list slowlyヽ(≧Д≦)ノ D

Featuring Ongoing Fantasy Novels

This list mainly recommends fantasy, with a preference for new works that are still updating. Of course, there are plenty of classic old books too. Since it’s been so long, I can’t remember all their plots, so I usually won’t write very detailed reviews. Please understand.

The Busier You Are, the More You Should Read for Fun

A personal record of the books I've browsed, also known as "Where Did All the Time Go?" I read for wish fulfillment and emotional release, and sometimes for the pleasure of learning something new. I skim and don't always understand everything, but I try to avoid trash when I can... I hope others enjoy the stories I like, and I'll also call out junk food when it tastes bad. Five-star rating system: ⭐️, > Run! ⭐️⭐️, > Weird. Maybe give it a quick look. ⭐️⭐️⭐️, > Nothing special, but fine for p

Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads

I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.

Mystery Fans, You’re in for a Treat

I loved suspense novels even before I started reading web fiction, and I still read them today. This list includes suspense stories about ghosts and the supernatural, detective fiction, and mysteries, as well as non-mystery novels with scheming protagonists. Books are added based on my personal taste, so there are some personal picks in here.

🌼There's already a second list, too, so if you're looking for something to read, give it a follow. 🌸Some books from the main list will gradually be moved to the genre lists and removed, so feel free to follow the genre lists you like. 🌸Because of the list size limit, reviews for some books of the same type will be collected under a single book. 🌸Please follow and send flowers~😁 🌻There are six genre lists🌻: Plot-driven stories (not dumbed down): ① Sci-fi ② Fantasy ③ High fantasy ④ Urban ⑤ Histor

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader’s Book List

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I only add new books that look interesting. I can't be bothered to delete books I added three years ago. Big-name authors' reputations mean nothing to me. If a book's positive-to-negative review ratio reaches 1:2, I'll remove it automatically so it doesn't ruin your mood. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I hardly read xianxia, wuxia, or prehistoric fantasy anymore. I used to love those genres, but got tired of them. Still, I'll recommend one if it has a really original premise. I also read urban fiction, though i

Books I Personally Enjoy

In my opinion, if a book is well written and the author puts their heart into it, it's bound to be good. Whether it gets popular is another matter. (Some readers have asked why so many of the books I recommend haven't gone premium. The thing is, plenty of books start out with great premises and plots, but as they go on the characters or power scaling fall apart, or the story gets too dull to continue. For all sorts of reasons, I end up disliking them and don't recommend them. I'm picky about wh

Dragons and Warriors, Swords and Legends

A wondrous civilization of magic, a world of extraordinary wizards. We call it fantasy... There are many reasons to love fantasy so deeply. Perhaps it's the mystery and unpredictability, or perhaps it's the other moving stories hidden within its understated prose. [Main list: obsessed with promising new novels. Game fiction list: restoring the glory of gaming, youth never fades, and we'll never part.] Recommendations are welcome. Just so you know, this list is for fantasy novels.

The Wasteland Book Nook

There are countless new books coming out every day, yet plenty of people still find themselves in a reading slump. There are so many books, but it's hard to know where to start. Which new releases are the best? You'll waste time comparing them all, so why not let me help you find some gems in the vast sea of books? To help you through a reading slump, this list focuses on new releases and promising early-stage novels that I enjoy and think are worth reading. I have eclectic tastes and may enjoy

For Personal Use | Xianxia, Fantasy, Wuxia, Light Novels, and a Little History and Mystery

Since someone actually reads these, I’ll give them a proper introduction. This is a purely subjective list, so don’t get hung up on the ratings. /Selection criteria: Promising new books, by big-name authors or newcomers alike. I only care whether I like them. I’ll update my reviews as new books build up a backlog. (Assuming I remember.) A few older books I like (very few). I’m good at letting books pile up, so most recommendations may go out of date. I’ll specifically mark the ones I’ve forgotte
