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
A Veteran Reader Who Has Read Every Novel in Yijiao Bookshop
As an avid reader of over ten years, I want to share some books that I think have something to offer. I don't have much of a way with words, and my memory is getting worse, but I still want to record books whose plots and characters I may no longer remember, in hopes of bringing someone a little of the joy they once brought me. I've read thousands of books, so I think I've picked out the best ones. If you haven't read them, give them a try. P.S. These days, I can barely finish a novel. I couldn'

This list mainly features fantasy game-inspired novels, with settings based on Dungeons & Dragons, Might and Magic and its spin-off Heroes of Might and Magic, Warhammer, Magic: The Gathering, and more. I add standout books from time to time.

All are fresh, original works well worth reading. The writing doesn't feel amateurish, and the plots are solid too. This list is just a hobby, and I'll update it whenever I remember. Saving it will remind me to update! 🥳 I've graduated and started working, so updates may be less frequent.

Great Books to Thank Their Authors For
Good books I've read, just my personal opinion.
Little Boys and Teenage Protagonists (For Myself)
Dedicated to collecting works worth reading. No multiple-love-interest or harem stories.
Subtle, Tender Romance #Multiple Heroines
Multiple female leads, nuanced romance, and well-rounded characters. Not dumbed-down fiction. I recommend only one or two books per author. Characterization, plot design, and atmosphere are all above average. (Also, every author pads their work to some degree. It comes down to how much.) • Solid read: No glaring flaws in any of the three areas, but nothing especially remarkable either. Too few distinctive features or fresh ideas. A stopgap for when you're in a reading slump. • Solid read+: Two

My Heart Longs for You, Like a Deer Chasing a Stream
The desire for human connection is one of the strongest urges in the human heart. It is a fundamental human need, a force that brings people, tribes, families, and societies together. To be denied this need is to invite madness or destruction, whether of oneself or of others. You are not the sole survivor of the accident. You are the only one who didn't get out.

I am disappointed
Honestly, this novel was really captivating at first. But after reading it this far, it's truly disappointing. I originally thought this was a fantasy novel about the protagonist pursuing hope, but now the author has abandoned the depth of the theme, dragged out the progress of the main plot, and abandoned the growth of the characters before spending a lot of time and energy writing about the…
Water
Newcomers, don't bother looking, this is a flood. If you agree with me, please give me a like.
Let me share my personal opinion.
I believe many readers can tell that the author of this book is most likely a female author (I can't guarantee it, but the style is clearly more suited to female authors). Compared to most writers on Qidian, the author's writing style is excellent, and the book is a good book. However, even so, the book's strengths and weaknesses are quite obvious (in my personal opinion).
There seem to be far too many female supporting characters, and none of the main character's friends are male. Is this a esoteric version of Dream of the Red Chamber?
This is written by a female author. The male protagonist is the same as the female protagonist, just with the genders reversed. The earlier parts about mysterious religions were alright, just a bit slow. But the later paid chapters were incredibly slow. After the other man's wife died, he would repeatedly describe how tragic her death was, and even make the protagonist watch it all over again.
Chapter 244 is the ending. A heads-up for readers who came because of the esoteric religion: this is a esoteric novel with a sticky, flirtatious, and romantic setting.
As the title says, I've cast all three of my monthly votes this month and am preparing to quit. To be fair, this novel is of high quality, but I came here because I wanted to read about esoteric Buddhism. Then, when I read the latest chapter, I found that at least a third of each chapter, if not half, is about the sticky interactions between the protagonist and different women.
The beginning was great, but after things stabilized in London, he started getting entangled with all sorts of women. The NPCs called the protagonist a pretty boy who lived off his looks and women, and I think they weren't wrong. This is a cult story, a fantasy, not a romance. It's all women, women, women. Why don't you take a break and level up a bit?
I can't take it anymore, it's toxic.
This author definitely comes from a female-oriented genre, right? To be honest, the romance in this story is baffling and gives me goosebumps. The motives are impure, and it's superficial. The romance is well-written, the premise is good, and the plot is okay, but combined, it's unwatchable. It's just lovey-dovey moments before the war and lingering affections afterward.
Having subscribed to the entire book and read the latest chapter, I'd like to offer an objective review. First, let's talk about the shortcomings. I feel that many comments in the comment section that bring up female-oriented fiction haven't hit the nail on the head. There are actually quite a few female authors who have done well writing harem novels in male-oriented fiction.
I came for the esoteric Buddhist setting, and then...
By chapter 169, it inexplicably started resembling a female-oriented novel, with very little esoteric content, and that wrench was truly unnecessary.
