Future Jun’s Handpicked Reads

I've read novels for years and have seen all kinds of genres. I've been making recommendation lists for nine years, too. Most of the books on my lists are ones I've read myself. I've gotten to know each one and appreciate what makes it special and different from the rest. Everyone has their own favorite genres. If the books I recommend happen to suit your tastes, that's wonderful. The books I recommend are all excellent and a pleasure to read. Everyone's welcome to join me. Most of my recommenda

Baishi's Little Book Nook |_・)

Mainly recommending stories with no female lead or just one female lead, based on my personal taste. New and old books alike: the only criterion is that they're good. Supernatural horror, laid-back slice of life, mind-bending mysteries, comedy: I'll read anything.

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

It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord

A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So

A Young Lady’s Reading List

Books that keep readers turning the pages. I grew up reading books from my grandfather's study, like The Hu Family Generals, The Yang Family Generals, Tai Chi Master, Investiture of the Gods, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Historical fiction, wuxia, and myths and legends are my favorites. In middle school, when the girls in my class were reading Qiong Yao and Xi Juan, I was reading Jin Yong. I didn't fit in with the girls, but I didn't have much in common
