Tokyo: I Found a Troubled Girl on the Yamanote Line

Sweet Romance Reads

Life is hard enough already. Let web novels be a little sweeter.

A Maiden's Prayer in Progress... (Mostly Light Novels)

This list features books I consider worth reading. Rating criteria: - Three tiers: decent reads, good reads, and masterpieces. - Each tier has finer “-” and “+” levels. A “+” rating in the good-read tier is roughly equal to a “-” rating in the masterpiece tier. - To earn masterpiece status, a book must reach an exceptional level in at least one area. When rating a book, I prioritize its strengths, and only then consider its shortcomings.

A Little Bit of Everything

The Wine Feast Book List

A good work is made from a great idea and great writing. Urban fiction, creative stories, xianxia, ghosts and monsters, fantasy progression novels, survival-focused stories, tales of becoming a sage, light novels, dating-show fanfiction: I recommend books I like and books you like. There’s something here for everyone.

Two Female Leads or Twisted Relationships

A three-person relationship is the most twisted of all: neither faithful nor free-loving, with one line drawn between two kinds of helplessness.

Naming Is Hard / Names Are Hard to Choose / Hard to Name

These are all books I personally enjoy. This list is based entirely on my own taste, so feel free to take a look if you’re interested. That’s all, meow. Just to be clear, I’m only recommending books I’ve read. I’m not interested in finding out what the authors are like. To me, a book is a book and a person is a person, as long as they don’t use it to push an agenda. If you can’t stand that, just don’t subscribe. “A good article comes naturally, a stroke of genius born by chance.”

The God of Light Novels

Adding promising finds I've dug up

My Personal Picks: The Best of the Best, Half of Them Obscure and Niche

A little of everything, from niche and obscure to classics. I started reading Water Margin: The Sequel in third grade, and now I've been reading for a full 33 years. I've read countless novels. There are plenty of good books I can't think of right now, as well as books I remember being decent but have forgotten, so I'll add them as they come back to me. Basically, three stars means they're worth a read; don't expect any five-star ratings. Here are some I'm following lately.
