The Evil God wants to recommend a bunch of books to fellow readers. Recently, novels from all sorts of subgenres have been coming out: doting-dad stories, high-tech stories, boastful-protagonist stories, transmigration stories, plane-hopping stories, and more. I enjoy all kinds of books, so the ones I recommend are pretty distinctive. Hope you like them.

A Reading Slump Is the Norm
2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. 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

Qingdan: Reading Log
I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p

Viewing the main characters as a microcosm of the apocalypse
The main storyline remains the protagonist's journey north to seek refuge with his uncle, encountering all sorts of people along the way. Each person the protagonist meets is a microcosm of a certain type of person in the apocalypse, and I've categorized these individuals according to my own understanding. I. Those with the potential to become regional warlords or even dominate the world
Should I observe it, or raise it?
CiMiao has started a new book! I'm so excited, but then I saw the word count and my spirits plummeted. Given her inconsistent update frequency and her habit of frequently missing chapters, I'm hesitant to read it, even after just the beginning, because I don't want to be impatiently waiting... So, should I read it now, or wait for it to start?
I looked around and there wasn't a single idiom chain game! Start one right away! —Golden Snake Dance
Wuhu, it's a new book! We're saved!
This is my first time following a Ci Miao book, and it's hard to describe... So frustrating 😪😪😪 Before, I always finished the whole book, and it was so satisfying 🥹
Since we have idiom chain games, how can we not have poetry chain games? I'll start: A line of white egrets soars into the blue sky.
