Treasure Hunt Reading List 📚
A collection of books I’ve enjoyed, found worth reading, or wanted to gripe about.
Best Picks in Showbiz and Period Fiction (Updated 2026-10-28)
A list of entertainment novels I'm following. If you like this genre, give them a try. I often check the rankings. This genre is relatively easy for new authors to write, but competition is fierce too. I update regularly, so keep an eye on changes to the list's title.
A Little Reading List
Say no to pretentious literary angst, blacklist trashy talk-no-jutsu novels, and reject brainless plots. Manually pinned: Reborn Oligarch 1991, A Guide to Reborn Russia, King of the Middle East, Marvel Universe's New Magneto, Investiture of the Gods in the 21st Century, Blackstone Code, Digital Kingdom, Shadow Empire, My Divine Spirit Doppelganger, Cultivation in the Marvel Universe, Restarting 1996, A Perfect Life
Quality Reads of Every Kind, Old and New!
I’ve been reading for twenty years, and after so many books, very few have stayed with me. This list collects distinctive, representative works from different genres, along with promising new books. I don’t have time to write detailed reviews, but I’ll add them gradually. I only include ongoing serials and new releases, not completed works. These are purely my personal opinions. I hope they’re useful, and thanks for reading.
Curing a Reading Slump
0. Running out of books to read is really painful. I hope I can help fellow readers find some relief. 1. This list is updated from time to time. 2. Some books may become less engaging later on, but I added them because they made me fall in love at first sight, so I won't remove them. 3. My tastes are all over the place, so this list isn't limited to any particular genre or set of genres. 4. I hope there will always be novels I can enjoy wholeheartedly. 5. No female-oriented fiction or romance. 6

A Bookworm of Ten Years: I Read a Bit of Everything, as Long as It Has Good Writing and Logic
These are all books I'm reading myself. I don't go out of my way to check rankings; I browse at random. If you're out of things to read, come on in. We're all readers here, and every book is its own world. That world should at least be exciting and make sense.

These are all reader favorites 😍
Highly Recommended by a Fifteen-Year Bookworm
Good books are a dime a dozen, but an interesting reading list is one in a million! No brain-dead supporting characters, smart characters, no saintly protagonists, and few toxic moments. The list is updated regularly and continuously.

Several issues with entertainment novels
1⃣️ Fictional or alternate world Fantasy or otherworldly entertainment novels are a joke. Entertainment is simply the culture, art, and entertainment products of our real world. The popularity of these movies, TV series, and songs is closely related to the current social context and trends. Even if a movie from our real world were released ten years earlier, it certainly wouldn't be popular.
1975~1979 Chen Zihan (1975), Li Xiaoran (1976 or 1972?), Zuo Xiaoqing (1977), Dong Xuan (1979), Qin Lan (1979), Chen Qiaoen (1979) 1980~1984 A Duo (born 1980), An Yixuan (born 1980 or 1978)❓, Liu Yan (born 1980), Huo Siyan (born 1980), Song Jia (born 1980), Yang Rong (born 1981 or 1978)❓
First, the advantages: The author's setting and the protagonist's development path are very original, and quite different from most Chinese entertainment novels. Weaknesses: The protagonist seems to have remained largely unchanged. Following the development in the book, even after becoming the president of an association, he still reacts to trouble with the same violent methods as at the…
My emotional journey while reading this book: The first dozen or so chapters shocked me; I never expected this kind of plot. The protagonist is a bad seed! This is supposed to be a gangster story, but the setting isn't Hong Kong in the 70s or 80s! Main character traits: gangster, pimp, illiterate, brute, adulterer, thug.
The settings are too vague...
One minute it's like time travel, the next it's like a cheat code; it's so confusing that it creates a disconnect between the main character and the story. You say it's time travel, but then you mention the Eighteen Arhats and know about BYD's business dealings; the next you say it's not time travel, but you don't understand the intricacies of the film industry. This constant back and forth... It's utterly baffling.
I stumbled upon this book while bored and looking for something to read, and to be honest, its high quality was a pleasant surprise. It's a shame it wasn't promoted enough, haha! Otherwise, it might have been taken down by some nitpicking readers long ago.
The beginning was good, but the Siberian Tiger part was really weak. This is supposed to be an entertainment story, but you're trying to do poverty alleviation stuff, and it's dozens of chapters long?
I can't understand how this book's content passed censorship. 😥

Annie Liu and Hsu Wei-mi are both relatively unknown and beautiful.
This is the real bigwig in the Chinese entertainment industry, not the one portrayed in other novels. Those are just female celebrities' sycophants.
