Yinglong's Dark Library Is Open
This is a personal list, powered by love, featuring new releases and ongoing novels. Completed novels will be removed after a while. Please follow and save the list. Lately I've been seeing more fantasy stories about dragons, and finding more interesting books. There have also been more COC steampunk novels lately. I only just noticed that a lot of veteran authors have launched new books. I'm still searching for stories I like. The quality of new releases in Qidian's historical fiction section k
[Unconventional Ideas] Dian Niang's Psychiatric Hospital Roster
Crazy, they're all crazy, and that's the beauty of it! This list focuses on humor, lightheartedness, memes, satire, subverting tropes, and characters who wildly misread situations. The books selected here are a chorus of joy written by authors whose mental states are, to put it mildly, questionable. Logic often takes a vacation, while wild overthinking becomes the protagonist's most powerful weapon. It's like a "happiness virus": once you're infected, your mouth can't stop smiling and firewo

The White-Clad Bookworm's Bookshelf, Currently Taking It Easy
♛ The first book I read was Zhu Xian, and I was hooked from then on. I read pretty much every genre. I generally avoid stories with cheating or where the heroine gets passed around. ♛ Completed works, ongoing stories, and promising new ones are all included. I’m very sensitive to flaws: if several things I can’t stand show up in a row, I’ll delete a book in frustration, no matter how long I’ve followed it or how much I’ve tipped the author. But if a book really suits my taste, I can put up with
A Collection of Books I Can Get Through, Whatever the Genre
The more I read, the fewer books I can find to read. Books on the Sanjiang and similar charts are too short, while the bestseller lists never seem to change. It’s so frustrating. I hope we can share recommendations and find more books to read.
New Budding Novels
Right now I'm mainly recommending promising new books I think are good. Let's get more people reading them so they don't get abandoned.

Poor Master Yu, a fleeting romance, the original setting was incredibly erotic, and he was supposed to become a bodyguard or secretary later on, but then the outline was revised and the low-magic setting was removed, so he's now in jail forever.
Han Qianhu's current position seems a bit strange.
Initially, Han Qianhu was quite impressive, a powerful and assertive female boss. At that time, it was understandable that the protagonist was somewhat submissive to her; their relationship involved both conflict and cooperation, mutual benefit and warmth – a classic strong female lead character.
Since there's a recommendation, let's briefly discuss this book. The book is indeed well-written, with its masterful depiction of political intrigue, but then it just ends. The biggest problem is that neither the author nor the readers know where the book will go next. When I first started reading this book, I was drawn in by its debt-driven plot.
The reason for the author's improved grades
There must be more colors now.
The book is very good. I initially read it as a fantasy novel, but towards the end, the system became increasingly insignificant, and all sorts of supernatural abilities suddenly disappeared, turning it into a historical intrigue novel. The author's skill is truly impressive; honestly, I didn't expect this early chapter to feel like such a top-notch historical intrigue novel. I wonder how the author plans to handle the protagonist's early equipment and system.
The author should quickly shift the focus to a purely female-free storyline.
Previously, Han Qianhu was nominally the female lead, but Pei Gou has gradually lost his allure towards her. Initially, Han Qianhu redeemed Pei Gou, opening a new path for him. However, now that he knows Han Qianhu initially only wanted to kill him, Pei Gou is trying to let go. Especially after Song and Zhang's wedding, the two people who loved each other deeply affected Pei Gou.
I read about two hundred chapters
What exactly is Song Chunniang's role? At first, she was just a subordinate, so she seemed like a wanton escort. Then it was changed to her being taken into the harem, but it turns out she's a yuri (lesbian) character, which is really uncomfortable to watch. 😥 It would have been better if she hadn't been there in the first place. The scene where she touched someone's concubine was truly disgusting.
The protagonist is too weak in front of the man surnamed Han.
The protagonist is so intelligent he's almost supernatural; how could he be scared by a woman? Before, when she had less power, she had no choice but to submit to others. Now that she has more power, why is she still so subservient to her? She must stand up for herself. Even if she can't be accepted as a dog, she should at least gain some respect.
This book is inspired by low-magic historical fiction.
I used to enjoy reading historical texts when I was young, and I felt I could learn a lot from them. However, as I've gained more life experience, I've become less fond of purely historical texts. Historical fiction can only be written in two ways: either mindless, entertaining stories or serious, meticulous ones. Life is already exhausting; reality reminds me every day what reality is.
I want to skip the Empress's storyline as soon as it starts. I'm tired of it; it's already over 900 episodes and they're still focusing on the male-female relationship. I'm too lazy to read it anymore. 🙂
