A Long-Review Booklist Focused on Promising Newcomers
I'll remove self-promotions, but I'll generally give anything interesting a trial read. I don't do reviews, so please don't ask. Thanks.
Gentle Breezes Invite You to Share These Good Books
A little something for every taste This is my personal stash of books. I hope the ones I recommend will keep updating regularly. They don't have to post extra chapters every day, but they should at least update daily. Decent, not stupid, and not self-righteous. One female lead or no female lead, either is fine. No limits on genre. If it's good and has character, I like it. Today's book from the bottom of my stash is a classic old favorite. Hope you enjoy it.
Top Picks (2026 Memo)
Personal recommendations and favorites from 2021 Mainly featuring standout novels with distinctive qualities. Great stories never die. I'll read anything that's on the charts, and recommendations for niche works are welcome too.

A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

This is yet another instance of forcibly weakening a nation just to highlight the protagonist. Otherwise, they should have established the nation as one of the world's strongest powers. Since when has a religious sect been allowed to cause trouble so easily in the heart of a country, requiring a low-level protagonist to save the day? With such a small population, the nation should have been destroyed long ago.
Can I change the partition?
Choosing the urban fantasy category is unlikely to yield good results. People who read urban novels aren't interested in superpowers or monster-fighting. They're looking for stories about reincarnation, wealth, harem romance, or nostalgic life. Switching to fantasy or light novel categories might be more effective.
Your fanfiction is really good.
As for your original works, I think they should be able to guarantee basic quality. The problem is that converting fanfiction to original works often involves a long period of growing pains... Intense pain. It will absolutely not be abandoned... I've seen too many fanfiction works fail to be adapted into original works in recent years, so I can only say I'll support it for now.
It was clearly written as a myth, but it ended up smelling like a Japanese comic
Obviously, the setting is that the forces of the good side are strong, but in the end, without the protagonist and the villain, all the plans were basically successful. The villains fought like dogs, and the entire country did not have a single intellectual responsibility. We need to take care of this before things happen, and we need to take that into consideration.
The author attempted to quickly develop a worldview through official events and current situations in various countries, but unfortunately, their skill level was limited, and they couldn't control the unfolding world. The result was that the various factions seemed to be playing house, and each character was a standard Japanese anime template.
The official organization of the Great Xia Dynasty is portrayed as a gang, lacking organization and discipline. Five-star rating.
What kind of nonsense is this?
The more I read, the dumber it gets. The powerful families and high-ranking officials in the later parts are like complete idiots. The setting is supposed to be a pre-modern city, but it's written like a Qing Dynasty fantasy novel from hundreds of years ago. Don't you people who are praising this book that I've eaten shit feel any remorse? Was this novel written by a middle school student? How can it be so childish?
I almost missed a great book because of Hextech Runes 😢😢. I thought it was some kind of fan fiction (I didn't know what Hextech Runes were). I only started reading it after seeing that it was featured on the Sanjiang Literature City website. It turns out it has an original world view. And actually, even if you don't know anything about Hextech Runes, it doesn't seem to be a problem to read.
The author should at least provide a ranking table for disasters and Noble Phantasms! And what about realms? This book has too many original concepts; it's impossible to understand it at all. I finished a chapter completely bewildered, and then I still had no idea what it was about. I can't remember any of the difficult terms.
Don't write it so stupidly
If you continue to portray the ruling class and political struggles at one of the two extremes in such a stupid way, no one will read it.
