Personal Reading List
Books I'm currently reading or have finished. Qidian's recommendations have a hard time catering to different tastes, so I hope everyone will make more lists of their own. That way, we can share good books and stay out of reading slumps.
[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels
Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden

1. Books I've read, updated and removed from time to time. 2. I've read each rated book up to its latest chapter, and usually note what I find appealing about its premise. (I generally rate it once when I add it to the list. If the quality drops later, please let me know.) 3. If the quality declines, I'll lower the rating or remove the book, and note the title in the comments. Note: Every book here is one I can keep reading and think is well-written. But I read a wide range of things, and some n

When the glow of the immortal path intertwines with strange, shadowy darkness, it creates a fantastical world of bewildering wonders. Here, ordinary people defy fate and cultivate their way to the heavens. The flow of spiritual energy conceals the mysteries of the Great Dao, while swords cleaving the firmament give rise to passionate legends. There are also eerie secret realms shrouded in mist, where the unknown lurks in silence and seemingly ordinary things hide chilling mysteries that upend a
Books Hui Meng Has Been Following Lately
These are the books I've been following lately. They're all different genres and picked entirely according to my own tastes. Most are new or early-stage books, so please don't be harsh if they're not for you. If you know any good ones, feel free to recommend them! I've recently started working, so I may have less time to read. Updates to the list may be sporadic.

June’s Best Completed Novels: Robes and Crowns, and Stories Brought to a Close
Some people leave school in June, while some books reach the end of their journey in June. The former set out for distant mountains and seas; the latter return to the study.
Yuewen’s Finest
Reading is not only a way to gain knowledge, but also an important means of improving oneself and broadening one’s perspective. These books are more than a collection of words; they are the crystallized wisdom and soul of their authors.
Handpicked Reads from the Sea of Books
These recommendations are based on my own reading experience as Chitang, so they may be worth considering. Following books is risky, so read with caution. The curator personally prefers xianxia, urban, historical, and light novels.

Please don't recommend books. I won't add them. I've removed some books because their blurbs weren't good enough. If you like the list, please add it to your favorites. →_→ The title was too generic, so I changed it. Reading tip: turn off chapter comments.
The New Novel Collection: All Kinds of Genres
There’s nothing more frustrating than running out of books to read. These are books I dug up from the vast sea of fiction and found readable. I’m looking for promising new authors. I’ve read way too many books. I generally don’t recommend books that everyone already knows about. Mostly, I’m looking for good new talent. Primarily science fiction and urban fiction. Updated irregularly. If I find a good book, I’ll add it. They’re all very young seedlings. I’ll also add works I find interest
All About Reading Lists
I just got the urge to recommend some books I am currently following and really want to share, so everyone can discover them too. I also have a peculiar habit: I do not read completed books, very short books, or most Qidian platinum-author works, so the books I recommend may be somewhat niche.

A Letter to Ease the Sleepless
Books are like wine: fragrant, strong, or rich. Their contents give them a mellow depth. Books are like songs: soaring, subdued, or sorrowful. Their contents make them sweet to the ear. Books are like paintings: vivid, dim, or understated. Their contents make them beautiful.

This framework, using the Ming Dynasty setting, is too narrow.
The gods have taken over the administration of the land, and the seas are filled with evil spirits. In the end, the Portuguese, armed with cannons, occupy Macau. The disconnect is striking; it would have been better to create a fictional dynasty. The use of many powerful figures' names—Wu Feng, Xu Hai, the Southeastern Clan—feels awkward, like a ritual performed in a confined space.

Subject of the survey: Wang Cheng, male protagonist of "The Cursed Mountains and Seas". Survey Results: [Reincarnation (Awakening of Innate Wisdom)] Criteria for judgment: Transmigration Investigators, as the name suggests, are professionals who investigate and record the transmigration situations of transmigrators. Their aim is to allow observers across countless worlds (i.
Like his predecessor, *Pirate Kings*, this book begins with a powerful background, the deaths of all his capable relatives, and him being hunted down and forced to flee. Born into a wealthy family, he has a very low cultivation level due to various reasons and must start cultivating from scratch.
The book review section is now corrupt and full of scoundrels, precisely because of insufficient updates. If authors diligently updated 10,000 words every day, the scoundrels would retreat in fear, and virtuous gentlemen would rejoice. This would be an achievement worthy of praise even from the legendary emperors Yao and Shun! I've heard that calves born in sheepfolds grow up behaving like sheep.

New book launch, let's play a word chain game! ... May everything go smoothly!
Have you ever been a deity? Some things are written randomly, based on assumptions.
It seems that writing novels set in the Ming Dynasty, especially those involving technology, is truly difficult. The author of this book has already been quite subtle, yet they still get constantly swayed by criticism. If they say the technology was advanced, Ming critics argue that it was already recorded in the Yongle Encyclopedia; if they say it was backward, Ming apologists sway them.
I personally feel that there are some contradictions in this book. The biggest one is that after the story moves from folklore to a fictional world, the protagonist's logic always leans towards the supernatural, but in order to limit his personal strength, the story constantly emphasizes that divine skills are no match for firearms. This makes the protagonist's behavior very strange.
