[Sanjiang Book Hunt]
Panning for gold in a pile of crap, looking for fun, offbeat books I enjoy. I'll update when I have time.
Personal Taste: I Read Everything for a Balanced Diet
Absolutely scrumptious
Lang Li's Book Bag: Strongly Recommended Reads
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.
Fun, Lighthearted Reads, Quality Guaranteed
Books that are definitely good, with something for every taste.
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 Veteran Reader’s List for When You’re Out of Books
I've been reading for ten years and have tried all kinds of books. There aren't many novels I can still enjoy these days. I prefer books with sound logic and a protagonist with decent values, ideally with some depth and food for thought. And no tormenting the protagonist! Ratings go from one star to five.
Superpowered Battles: Infinite Worlds, Xianxia, Supernatural, Western Fantasy, and More
Infinite worlds, xianxia, Western fantasy, fantasy, and supernatural stories. Five stars means ten stars, and even one star means it’s readable.
I Read All Kinds of Random Stuff
A few rambling thoughts about the books I read
Wang Yue Bai's Fantasy Library
Mostly new fantasy novels.
A Personal, Eclectic Reading List
Purely subjective, not a hint of objectivity.
A List of Books I Really Love
Over the past few years, I've found the rankings less and less reliable, so I've decided to recommend books myself. (Following me won't do any good. Remember to click the bookmark button below instead.)
A Personal Selection of Miscellaneous Reads, Mostly with Long Reviews
The novels here span a variety of genres, covering almost every section. Most were added when they were new, so they're not very long. Most of my reviews are long-form. I share a reader's perspective on the strengths and weaknesses I noticed while reading.
The Divine Farmer's Herbal Compendium
Here's my personal, subjective best-and-worst list. My reading experience is just for reference. A Good Read should be able to hold your interest for at least a few hundred chapters. An Immortal Herb should be worth finishing, with few major flaws and no botched ending. Poison Weeds and Rotten Weeds speak for themselves, so I've put those in the neighboring Withered Grass Record. Each of these four categories also has three tiers: high, middle, and low. If a tier isn't specified, it's the middl
For Later
Haven't started these yet, but I'm interested in reading them later
Web Novel Picks: Not for Beginners, Off the Beaten Path
Not beginner-level fiction. Personal taste, entirely subjective. I'll score each work based on my preferences, out of 10. The books on the rankings are pretty good, but most put commercial success first. They're like junk food: great the first time, but too much gets cloying, and they don't have much to offer beyond passing the time. These days I mostly browse at random, and I'm not as free as I used to be, so finding a book that suits my taste is pretty rare. I've read every book I review. I
In a Reading Slump and Have Some Free Time, So Here's a Few Recommendations
Made this out of boredom
An Old Bookworm, Updating Whenever the Mood Strikes
I only pick books that interest me and seem worth following. (I'm lazy, so updates are whenever.)
Books of Love and Desire
🔥 Personal reading list, my opinions only 🔥 A record of the books I've read, shared with others. Genres include urban fiction, history, Western fantasy, xianxia and wuxia, entertainment-industry stories, light novels, and fanfiction. And of course, there has to be a certain element. My preferences: sound logic, believable plots, nuanced relationships, and genuine romance. I like strong, proactive male leads. I prefer serious prose, not necessarily serious stories, and dislike stories that go o
Personal Reading List
Mostly stories with multiple heroines. I'll add a single-heroine story if it's really good, too. Feel free to recommend good novels to me as well. It's so hard to find a good multi-heroine story these days...
Books I’m Following Right Now
I follow these every day
A Mixed Bag of Books
I did not consider categorization. They are basically all based on my personal tastes.
Novels That Keep Me Reading: Mostly Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Xianxia
These are some books I like, so give them a try if you want(´-ω-`) I'll update the recommendations from time to time. I haven't been finding many stories I like lately, so there may not be as many recommendations. Thanks for understanding(*^ω^*) If the books I recommend aren't quite to your taste, maybe we're looking for different things, or maybe I'm in a reading slump and desperate enough to read anything(`⌒´メ)

[Important Notice] This book is a harem novel with a male protagonist. It is not an ensemble piece; there are no ensemble characters in this book.
This post was edited on June 5, 2024. Around chapter 20, I was repeatedly threatened with dropping the book by readers who preferred single-female-lead stories. Unable to bear this, I hereby make a clear statement: First, given that some readers have repeatedly asked if this is a single-female-lead story, threatening to drop it if it isn't, I want to clarify once again: this is absolutely a…
The only true gem in Western fantasy, calling it great might be an exaggeration, but it's a rare gem in this fast-paced era.
The writing style is very comfortable, and the characters all possess intelligence and logical behavior. There are no one-off villains who are deliberately designed to provoke the reader's emotions or make them unpleasant to read. The author clearly respects the characters they create. In this fast-paced era, it tells a story in a serious and methodical way.
Are there any other Western fantasy works like this? I'd appreciate recommendations. I just can't get enough! Aside from "Kingdom Bloodline," none of the popular Western fantasy novels on Qidian are worth reading.
Author, do you even need to read the book from the first chapter yourself? What kind of writing is this? It starts strong but ends weakly, a classic case of a promising beginning but a disappointing ending. Personally, I feel the Holy War Army's initial advance was the peak, and then it started to decline – did you eat too many mushrooms (a euphemism for excessive writing)?
Myths and Legends (Medieval)
This image lists some mythical creatures that Europeans believe existed or still exist. Legends and Mythology: This section only discusses some historical stories from Europe. Cryptoids: These are mythical or legendary creatures that some believe to exist, but have never been proven.
A rough impression of Leon's current armor
Unable to find a suitable winged helmet, I simply used a hood instead, since hoods are a First Legion characteristic anyway. The protagonist is currently wearing plate armor custom-made by a dwarven craftsman, roughly like the image below. Of course, AI renderings can't perfectly replicate the details. Adding a picture of the protagonist's noble coat of arms.
Magic (Middle Ages).
Wizard of the Coast, a concept art piece for Magic: The Gathering. Magic can be said to be as old as human civilization. First, let me clarify that "magic" is not entirely feudal or superstitious. (Disclaimer: This post only discusses "magic" from a humanities and history perspective.) It's more like a way of understanding the world after humanity's intelligence was awakened. "
Olivia in motion
Looking forward to continued progress in AI!
I saw a reply from the author of another post and I wanted to say something...
The emergence of a hierarchical system was inevitable. The absence of a rigorous occupational hierarchy was not a realistic inevitability, but rather a brief period of idyllic life where the level of civilization was not yet high enough and the status of professionals had not yet been devalued.
Advice to newlyweds
The author has a strong personality and ideas, and is someone who likes to pretend to be asleep. So, don't waste your gold coins, go to the next tavern and find your favorite bard. As for me, it's time to leave... This cup is for the Golden Lion Queen, for her kindness and courage, may her noble soul rest in peace in heaven.
