So Good They Leave You Speechless

Rated from 1 to 10. I've been a bookworm for over ten years, and my ratings are very subjective. So far, I haven't given any book above a 7. (I often wonder why I even rate on a scale of 1 to 10.) A 7 is already really high. I checked, and nearly half the books have been abandoned.

[Mystery and Supernatural] For the Old Guard of a Fading Genre

As everyone knows, Qidian's mystery section has been half-dead for a while because of a certain someone. Even so, plenty of people still dive headfirst into this pit out of love for the genre. In the spirit of showing (and, well, talking up) some love for new mystery writers, this list collects works by original mystery authors, in the hope of giving them at least a little exposure. [Only books published in the mystery section are included! If a book switches sections later, let me know and I'll

No Rough Drafts, No Mediocre Reads

Half the books on the rankings are crap, and every other list is full of abandoned works, unripe seedlings, and toxic reads. This list recommends only top-tier novels that haven’t been abandoned or ended badly, aren’t just seedlings, and have at least a million words. Plenty to read, something for everyone, and easy to get into. Overall rating is out of five ⭐, with no particular ranking. 1 star: decent. 2: good. 3: very good. 4: excellent. 5: perfect. Enjoyment depends on how satisfying, fresh,

A Sort of Reading Guide? I'll Review All Kinds of Texts, Good and Bad

I add strange and unusual books I come across here. (I can only make one list, so my personal recommendations are here too.) P.S. If I sound harsh, it’s because something about the book genuinely disgusted me. P.P.S. One extremely harmful book was taken down the other day, after being on this list for a while. No idea if someone reported it or the author ran off, but either way, good riddance.

New Book Recommendations: Script-Based and Transmigration Stories (Recommended: The Gold Rush Plan)

Books I personally think are pretty good and have something to say. The prose can be uneven, so feel free to skip them if that bothers you. (No, really, why do nine out of ten new books I recommend get dropped? Am I cursed or something? Sigh~) P.S. My laziness kicks in a lot. When I remember to update this list, I've often forgotten what half the books were about.

A Strange and Eerie Journey

Tomb raiding is dangerous, so enter the profession with caution. Of the four great tomb-raiding schools in history, the Gold Touchers, Ridge Splitters, Mound Excavators, and Mountain Movers, the Gold Touchers had the highest technical standards and the most rules. “Light a candle for the living, let the dead blow it out” was the secret tradition of the Gold Touchers. It meant that upon entering an ancient tomb, one had to light a candle in the southeast corner before opening the coffin. If the c

Logical Novels, Recommended by a Veteran Reader!

A web novel veteran of 15 years! A personal reading list! I've read every book myself. To be honest, I'm a stickler for logic, so you don't need to worry that the books I recommend will have major plot holes. I don't want to copy the blurbs or dress up my descriptions of the books with fancy language.

A Bit of Everything, Read Whatever Catches Your Eye

There are no specific requirements for adding a book to this list. All ratings are entirely subjective. Recommendations are scored from 0 to 10: 1–2 means I don't recommend it, 3–5 means it's readable, and 6 or higher means I recommend it. Scores with a prefix are recommendations for a specific subgenre and shouldn't be compared with books from other genres. A score of 0 means I only read the beginning because of personal preference, but thought it seemed okay. (Try reading the first 20 chapters

Ten-Year Bookworm Guarantee: New and Old Books in Every Genre, Worth a Look

A record of some great books I’ve read. A book’s quality isn’t measured by how many words it has. I’ll update this whenever I can, and I won’t let you down. Fantasy, xianxia, sci-fi, online games, urban fiction, fanfiction (The authors’ other books are good too.) The older books are mostly the best of the best. Some of the newer additions may not be as good, but they’re still worth a look if you’re out of reading material. Also, you definitely have to turn your brain off for power fantasies. Fi

  3. After reading 300 chapters, I commented that it is a horror novel with a very personal style and the most Cthulhu Mythos style.
