Great Reads for Female Readers
A collection of great female-oriented novels with strong writing and worldbuilding
Great Reads, by Yingying's Book List
Books with great writing and sound values Some books might not seem very good to other people, but everyone has different opinions. I think these are all gems! And as someone who's really picky about novels, I think all the books on this list are pretty good. If any appeal to you, give them a try! Hahaha, on a whim, I have this to say to anyone who wants to bash the list: Go ahead, bash away! The more you do, the more people will read it, and that'll drive you crazy... Hahahahaha
Books I Finished Over the Years
A record of books I've read through to the end over the years, with brief reviews. Just reading in peace.

The words in a book are landscapes on your desk, while the landscapes of the world are words spread across the earth. Everywhere the eye can see offers a view of distant mountains and rivers, and a glimpse of the world's landscapes and literature.

What My Heart Loves
First, a note: this list isn't limited to novels from the main site. It also includes female-oriented novels. I'm a woman, so please don't be surprised to see those here. These are novels I personally enjoy, with engaging plots and good writing. To me, whether they're from the main site or the female-oriented section, they're all worth reading. I especially like historical fiction, mysteries, crime investigation, historical romance, and xianxia, so most books on my list fall into those categori

He scooped up her long, black hair, which flowed like silk flowers in his hands, gently entwining and combing it until it was styled into a cloud-like bun. At this moment, Lu Tong sat quietly, watching in the mirror as the person behind her gently combed her hair with his hands. The soft, flowing hair would soften anyone's heart, especially since this person was someone she loved. "
Why do almost every novel have one or two comments saying why there has to be a male lead? Why can't romance novels have a male lead? What's wrong with wanting to read a novel about normal male-female romance? Do all novels have to be without a romantic pairing? Can't we respect different preferences?
Why are Cha's works not making a splash on Qidian? Every single one of them is clearly a masterpiece. Looking forward to more! 🤞

The female lead in this book is very well-developed, but why is there even a male lead? The male lead lacks a compelling character; he's just from a wealthy family, good at pretending, and slick. With the female lead's intelligence and courage, she could have achieved her revenge even without a male lead. This book would have been even better if it were simply a revenge story.
