"Treasure Trove Bookshop": Anime and Light Novels, No AI-Generated Stories
Mostly anime and historical fiction. I write reviews but don't give ratings. Most of these books are complete. Some explore extremely niche topics, while others are famous blockbusters. Whether it's a morning glory tucked away in a corner where nobody sees it or a rose beloved by everyone, each has its own brilliance. These books all have some degree of originality. I won't use AI to bring in older books, and I've also filtered out some ongoing works, so I rarely use AI or quote it at all. Parti
My Backup Shelf for When I Have Nothing to Read
A collection of books I've read. I haven't finished most of them, so I'll come back to them when I'm out of things to read. This list is based purely on my personal reading interests. If it isn't your style, just find another list. Why keep leaving negative ratings? If you don't like the books here, you can simply unfollow. I've read at least thirty chapters of every book on the list.

A Reasonable Reader's Picks: The Logic Should Mostly Hold Up, with a Bit of Everything
I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, so my tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books for readers who want something beyond simplistic fiction: fewer tired tropes, fewer saintly characters, and fewer mindless face-slapping scenes. I also like books with relatable protagonists. More precisely, these characters act in ways that feel human. They can be good or bad, but their choices have to make sense. P.S. Please save and like the list so I can see what you enjoy. The list has reached

My Personal Picks from Qidian
No chasing trending hits here, just hidden gems I've read word by word and truly loved. I picked each one for myself, with readers who love stories as much as I do in mind. I hope we'll meet here and share an exciting journey.
Books I'm Still Enjoying
These are books I personally like. Of course, if I stop enjoying one, I'll remove it. A book that seems fresh at first may not hold up over the long haul. When you're out of things to read, don't just focus on reviews. What I like may not be what you like, and my opinion isn't yours. You have to try a book yourself to know how you really feel about it.
My Personal Picks
Some books I've enjoyed. I'm not rating them; everything here suits my taste, is worth reading, and gets my recommendation
A Reader-Friendly List for Women
I prefer stories with strong female protagonists, ideally without a romance plot, as well as male-oriented novels that avoid having the protagonist's little head do the thinking for his big head.
Saving These for Later
Same as the title.
High-IQ Gems Recommended by a Ten-Year Bookworm
I mainly recommend novels with no female lead or a single female lead, or ones with a cool, dark, and sensible protagonist. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty laid-back, so updates are irregular.
[Turns Out I'm Shennong]
🍀 When will the good books return? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I don't know what year it is in the world of web novels. I long to ride the wind home, but I'm afraid of unfinished books and toxic weeds; this reading slump is too much to bear. What use is trying every herb when the good stuff is nowhere to be found? 🌙 The moon turns past the tower, shines through the low window, and falls upon those still awake. Why should immortal herbs be left unfinished? People have joys and sorrows, par

Summer Special: Travel the World Without Taking Time Off
On the same summer night, rain falls in Tokyo, dawn is just breaking in Paris, and New York's neon lights are only beginning to glow. You don't have to travel there yourself to experience different time zones and lives through these books.

Dude, you're not going to make some kind of trashy "Lord of Mysteries" or something, are you? That Tokyo-themed book next door is disgusting.
Finally, I've found a game development novel that focuses on the fun of gaming! These days, game development novels are either parodies of second games or historical movie plots—it's so boring. It's been a long time since I've seen a game novel that focuses on game development techniques and gameplay.
Check-in thread - Let's share what video games we've played recently!
As the saying goes: Anyone who writes about games must play games! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
It's obvious that this author genuinely loves games.
You can tell from the protagonist's genuine love for games, rather than simply using games as a subject matter and constantly copying streamers' antics and tired memes from the secondary gaming community. Moreover, the games he chooses aren't the kind that are universally popular.
Shennong is here!
"Immortal Grass" is a must-read, provided you're a true hardcore gamer. Unlike most game-making novels on the market, it focuses on a vibrant and competitive America 2000s. The protagonist starts by creating pixel-art games (true pixel art, not like Minecraft or Terraria, but games like Kung Fu, Pac-Man, and Raiden), gradually building his own game empire.
Seeing 188, I have some thoughts.
The article is so pure; it's purely about game software and hardware development, maybe a little about player experience, but avoids all other miscellaneous details. Even going to an NBA game isn't just about finding an endorsement deal—that's the most off-topic it's ever been. There's no mention of game releases, media coverage, profits, or dating—it's all shrouded in mystery.
As a novel about games, this is truly amazing. For someone who doesn't know much about the history of games, this novel really showed me the brilliance of the gaming era. Overall, it was very moving and quite good.
It's so beautiful!
This book is definitely in the top 0.5 Of all game novels on Qidian in terms of plot control. Just over fifty chapters were enough to excite me, and now I even want to write one myself! No exaggeration, this book also has its flaws. Flaw: Emotions The emotional changes during game transitions are too generic, lacking memorable moments.
Did the author write a game chronicle?
This is so good! I stayed up for two days to finish it. It breaks down the games in such detail, explaining their success and history, yet it's not boring at all—that's a big advantage of novels. To be honest, I haven't played any of the games mentioned.
