Featuring Promising New Reads and Hidden Gems, These Great Books Are Not to Be Missed
I’ll keep searching for new books to add to this list. There’s plenty of good stuff, and the occasional real gem.

There are so many books in the Qidian library that it makes my eyes swim, but I’ve still carefully picked out a list that should suit most readers. Hope you enjoy it!

My Personal Reading List
A personal list for an old hand with 10+ years of reading Mostly single heroines I hate formulaic stories I sometimes read dumbed-down novels too. Everyone has times when they don’t feel like thinking too hard.
A Chronicle of My Reading Journey
No limits on genre. Books with a distinctive style.
🎶Books I've Actually Read Before Adding Them Here🎶
Books I can generally get through. I only add books I’ve actually read. I don’t want to feel like the book is insulting my intelligence. I prefer lighthearted stories, games, urban fiction, ghosts, and novels about anime, manga, and entertainment. I’m done with stories that are nothing but fighting, leveling up, and repeating the same cycle forever. Pet-beast battles are fine, though. But don’t blame me if a book goes on hiatus or has a terrible ending. Take it up with the author. I’ll send a kn
Second Chances and City Life
The streets teem with traffic, flowing endlessly. Hidden talents lie in wait, and the world is full of upheaval. The city is the world we know best. It is home to extraordinary geniuses, veterans who have achieved their goals and retired, winners who can charm a crowd, and ordinary people who never amount to much. No one is willing to settle for a mediocre life, though most protagonists start out as ordinary people. A second chance at life: it's what most people dream of, but only a few achieve.
Books I Think Are Pretty Good
Rated out of 10 stars. I test them now and then.
Books I'm Keeping to Myself
Books I personally think are good. Letting them build up, no particular genre. (A complaint: the quality of books on Sanjiang varies wildly. The gap is huge.)

These kinds of books share a common problem: they fail for the sake of failure. Even though there's a system to guarantee success, and either the system or the company should at least profit, they always end up losing everything. It's like reading a wish-fulfillment novel where only the supporting characters get the satisfaction, while the protagonist suffers alone. What if you even succeeded once in a while?
It's still quite entertaining, but it suffers from the same problem as "Lost and Became Rich"—it forces the theme of losing money too much. The repetitive plot of the protagonist sabotaging his subordinates and ultimately betraying them gets a bit tiresome. Perhaps it's better to invest in projects with a sentimental attitude, like "since the system covers the losses, it's okay to lose money." And once the subversion of tropes becomes cliché, it gets tiresome too.
Giving the protagonist a girlfriend with virtually no screen time, possibly not even appearing in a single chapter by name, while other female characters are practically glued to him every day—what was the author thinking? Why not just not create a girlfriend character in the first place? Was it necessary for the story, or did the author just come up with this actress character on a whim?
I paid to watch half of it myself. Before it was released, I personally found it quite interesting to read; after it was released, I read a hundred chapters. This is to avoid accusations of me spouting nonsense without being paid. First, it lacks creativity. To put it simply, it's like old wine in a new bottle—it tastes the same.
I'm currently on chapter 49. I've subscribed to one chapter in advance because I have some things I need to say. Regarding Chapter 49, I think the author's writing approach has become somewhat off-track. It seems to focus too much on creating contrast.
Seeing that the protagonist doesn't want anything when collaborating with other companies suddenly makes it seem uninteresting.
This type of novel is very good, but there's always a sense of sadness while reading it. Why am I not President Pei's employee? I'm useless, President Pei! How can I help you lose money?!
Trying to subvert tropes for the sake of subverting them is too deliberate and artificially lowers one's intelligence. It's like trying to emulate President Pei but only capturing the form without the substance.
Le🤣 went to the entertainment industry to start a company and make money, but ended up losing money instead?
After finally paying off my debts, I was reborn to inherit the debts of a small company. Luckily, the system said the more I slack off, the luckier I'd be. As long as the company could achieve the "collapse" goal, money would pour into the account, and good fortune would come. Debt? A mere pittance. But I clearly intended to let it go bankrupt in a year or two, so why is it thriving? Overview
It's too easy to lose money. Just plunge into the chip industry, aim for national advancement, and you're guaranteed to lose money for three to five years.
