【10,000-Subscriber Reading List】Recommendations Backed by Real Data!

This list only includes male-oriented novels with more than 10,000 first-day paid subscribers. To clarify, a novel qualifies as having 10,000 first-day subscribers if more than 10,000 people subscribe to its first VIP chapter within 24 hours, excluding chapters made paid retroactively. Qidian has more than 900 excellent novels with average subscriptions above 10,000. It seems like a million average subscriptions are commonplace, but only a little over a hundred works have more than 10,000 firs

[Honest Long Reviews: In-Depth Takes on Popular Books]

🍂🌾⭐🌙🌞👑 [Objective reviews of popular titles from various charts, plus recommendations for some overlooked gems] There are too few authors with real insight. Without insight, an author is destined to achieve nothing. I only include books by authors with real insight. A book itself doesn't have to be insightful, but its author must be. P.S. Feel free to recommend or submit underrated hidden gems, at least 200,000 words long.

The Fallen Scholar in the South of the City

The articles in the book are the landscapes on the desk, and the landscapes in the world are the articles on the ground. Wherever you look, you can see mountains and rivers in the distance, and you can read articles about landscapes all over the world.

Books I Like with Smooth Writing (Mostly Just Fun)

Discovering interesting books, discovering interesting souls. (First, the writing has to be decent. Then, the premise, story, or author has to be interesting. Someone once said, “If the world is boring, I’d rather not live in it.” May we all have interesting souls.)

My Reading List

I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale

Personal Reading List 2

The books I subscribed to and read were paid for and actually read, so I have the right to evaluate them. These ratings are primarily based on my personal tastes, so the same book may receive a somewhat different rating from other readers. Take them only as a reference. I especially recommend books rated above 3.5. I have also been reading for around ten years. This time, my main goal is to organize and summarize my reading, so there will be many old books from more than ten years ago. If you do

Wang Cai Doesn’t Like Catnip

I won't write many recommendations, but I promise they're all quality reads. I update this list slowly, since I have to find books I can actually stick with first (= ̄ω ̄=) No need to send flowers, it's a waste of money.

Xi Jiang's Personal Reading List

A middle-aged reader born in the 1990s, with ten years of web-novel reading behind me. I’ve read all sorts of books, so I’m keeping track of ongoing ones here. Completed books get removed! There are loads of books on my shelf, and sometimes I can’t even remember them all! Since I’m a woman who reads male-oriented fiction, you won’t find harem novels here! (If a book is truly exceptional, I’ll make a note of it separately.) 🅰️ Anyone have recommendations? It’s so hard to find books myself. Sin

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. The fan-value indicators generally reflect my actual reading

Great Book Recommendations, Fewer Reading Slumps

Books with lots of subscribers: urban, light novels, and historical fiction~ A step above newbies, but not quite a veteran reader~ These are my personal opinions, so please don't take offense~ My ratings are only: Solid pick (has something going for it) Must-read (really good) I'm out of things to read. I've dropped so many books halfway through~

Old-School Picks for Veteran Readers, Not Against Female Leads

I prefer books with a classical feel. For Western fantasy, I like knights and magic; for xianxia, I mainly prefer classical xianxia. I dislike the clichés and writing habits of simplistic novels, and I also prefer deeper, more thoughtfully developed worlds.

Stories with Sensible Values

These are all books I love, and I'm recommending them to everyone. I like stories without romance, with intelligent characters. Everything I enjoy is here.

Infinite Worlds, Martial Arts, Folklore, Wizards, Xianxia, History, Professions, Sports

These are mostly books I've read and enjoyed. My tastes lean toward: ① Infinite-loop, supernatural mystery, wizard, beast-taming, and card-based stories... ② Strange tales and xianxia, folk mysteries, and myths of the Classic of Mountains and Seas... ③ Steampunk, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic wastelands, and evolution and mutation... ④ Business rivalries, history, sports, games, sci-fi, and fantasy... ⑤ Stories about professions: doctors, painters, writers, actors, directors, basketball players, r
