New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)

As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

Urban Fiction, Entertainment, and Transmigration: The Best Picks

1. My main focus is urban and entertainment-industry fiction, with some historical, sci-fi, and spacefaring stories, as well as the occasional indescribable masterpiece. Xuanhuan, cultivation, and immortal-demon fiction rarely make this list. That’s just my personal taste. 2. I often browse other people’s lists too. Whenever I see a book I love recommended by lots of readers, I’m happy, but also a little intimidated. I can only work harder to avoid repeating the great books already on everyone e

Needle in a Haystack

The road to becoming a great author isn't easy. I've seen many good books get no exposure and then get dropped, which is heartbreaking. In recent years, I've had to cut back on my spending and can't support the authors I like as much as I'd wish. The least I can do now is avoid pirated copies. I hope we can come together to support outstanding authors. If you find a good book on this list, please support its author with subscriptions, votes, or tips. Thank you.

A Heng's Personal Recommendations

I've always believed in web novels. Dickens's popular fiction has become a literary monument, the Chinese novels of several centuries ago are now classics, and the miscellaneous works of Jin Yong and Gu Long have also earned classic status. I believe that, as web fiction continues to develop over the coming decades, its best works will one day be recognized as literature. With that in mind, I've selected a number of works that I believe may have literary value in the future. At the same time,

Books I've Read to the End, for Anyone Looking to Beat a Reading Slump

Whenever I'm looking for something to read, I keep wondering how to find books that suit me. Most of the time, I spot something interesting and eagerly start reading, only to drop it before chapter 100. Some books have great ideas, but it's hard for them to stay good all the way through. So finding books is difficult. That's why I'm recommending some books I've finished, in case they're useful to you!

Weekly Updates, Monthly Updates, Yearly Updates, Hiatuses, and Abandoned Stories

There's a saying that if you read a book that ends badly and get drawn into it, you'll end up reading more and more books that end badly. Personally, sometimes a book's ending leaves me feeling wistful. In those cases, I'd almost rather it had no ending at all, leaving room for everyone to imagine what happens next.

Books I've Read: History, Nation-Building, Western Fantasy, Fourth Calamity, and More

Latest update: Too lazy to write recommendations. Leaving this here for 2025. A record of books I've read 🚩 (More for tracking than recommending) 🌀 I like infrastructure-building, business management, farming, Fourth-Dimensional Disasters, history, and behind-the-scenes stories. But I'm open to other genres when I'm out of things to read, so my tastes are pretty broad. 🌀 Reviews cover only the parts I've read and are updated as I go.
