Breaking Out: Hidden Gems from the Niche
A collection of novels that may be a little niche but have excellent writing and plots. I also support promising new books and works by debut authors.

Novels I've read
The Sighing Wall
(This is not a recommendation list!) These are works I once thought were good but later could not continue reading. I hope they can offer a little reference for readers and authors: authors can learn which behaviors cost them readers, while readers with tastes like mine can see which pitfalls these books contain. I am also suffering from a reading slump, so please recommend some books. My tastes are broad, and I can accept most genres.
[Creative Reading List] I've Got a Story! Do You Have Coffee? ☕

My dream is to read every good book I love. I mean, read them all.
Mostly Lighthearted and Funny
These are all books I'm reading right now. I'm recommending them to anyone else suffering from a reading drought, and hope they help a little!
Snowfall Between Every Page (Slice-of-Life Novels Are the Best)
Slice of life, campus youth, light novels, classical xianxia, steampunk, Lovecraftian horror, period rural stories, infinite flow, fanfiction, games, and more. I mainly care about the writing, plot, and characters. (I'm an omnivore, but slice of life is my favorite!) P.S. I'll only include one book by each author. I'll mention their other books in the reviews if they're all good. Some authors keep writing under new secret identities. Hey! Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're usi
A Guide to Recommending New Qidian Books
Five stars is the highest rating. All genres welcome, with a focus on new books under 300,000 words. If you often run out of things to read, feel free to save the list. Updates are irregular. If you're recommending your own book, please check the word count. If it's under 300,000 words, I'll take a look.

I've read over a hundred chapters, and it's incredibly padded, just like my last book. It's so long-winded and full of unnecessary explanations. The most ridiculous thing is using science to explain feng shui and traditional Chinese medicine. Are you writing an urban romance or an urban system novel? Don't you even know what your book's purpose is? At this rate, should fantasy novels also be explained using scientific methods?

Carbon fiber, research institute, and triple salary—it's all so awkward. I regret subscribing.
This is getting more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Dude, be realistic. We're not here to see how awesome you are. We're here to see life in that era.
It was alright at first, nothing special except for a little bit of water, but I couldn't stand it after I went to Beijing to visit my grandfather. The turmoil had just ended in 1977, and you were already going around with the title of feng shui master. In an era when "demons and monsters" were not yet normal, what you wrote was really incomprehensible and mindless.
Seeing the research institute... Honestly, is it really necessary? Do we even have the resources...?
Hello author, I copied your book onto another platform, and the reader feedback has been great. It's very popular, and I've received a lot of donations. I plan to buy a new car at the end of the year, so I hope you can update more chapters so as not to affect my income and keep my readers waiting. 🤝🤝
Congratulations to Sanjiang
Alright, it's on sale now. The content is pretty good so far, so I'll pay to read it. But I have a small wish: I hope the author can give the system a bigger role in this novel! After all, we are all Chinese and came from that era. If we follow the routine step by step, it will be very boring and tedious. Since there is a system, and the food is already at our table, we should make good use of it!
I've been following the updates closely, but the recent plot has been really toxic. A poor mountain village dares to conduct scientific research and even poach researchers from a research institute. In those days, even if a research project was disbanded, the researchers would have already been placed in other jobs. How dare they intercept their talent? Besides, is setting up a laboratory really that simple?

Suddenly I realize that system novels are the real "trash-to-play" genre.
The protagonist can only barely survive by relying on the system; talent, opportunity, strength, and benefactors are all insignificant in the face of the system.
