[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
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.
You Can’t Put a Price on What I Love
Novels I've read and enjoyed. I don't care about rankings on any lists; it all comes down to whether they suit my taste, so this is completely subjective.
Books I'm Following (Mostly Multiple Female Leads)
No protagonists who are eunuchs! No eunuchs! No eunuchs!! Important things have to be said three times. Unless the book is genuinely great and exciting! Also, a warning to readers: there are a lot of weird people in the chapter comments. Don’t let them influence you. If you think the book is good, that’s what matters. If you want to promote a book, please read the description carefully. It should preferably have more than 100,000 words. Thanks.
Gold-Tier Book Recommender
If the Jade Emperor asks about the human world, tell him that in chaotic times, writing is worthless.
Hong Kong Crossover Fiction: Water Margin, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Literary Masters
Mostly Hong Kong crime-action fanfiction. Five stars means ten stars, and even one star means it’s readable.

2026 HELLO, Always Have a Book in Hand
Hard work doesn't always pay off. Two years of struggle, and I have nothing to show for it. The first mountain pass is behind me, but the dust has yet to settle. I'll spur my horse onward and ride again. Let me brew some fresh tea with the new fire. Poetry and wine are best enjoyed while we're young.

If Jia Yuanchun doesn't accept it, then it will be downplayed.
Please, please don't do what that other book did: despite having an overpowered advantage, it didn't arrange for Jia Yuanchun to leave the palace, but instead, through the protagonist's help, the emperor ended up sleeping with her. This is the first time I've seen such an outrageous plot; it's disgusting. If you're not going to accept it, then write a normal story. Don't include any ambiguous romantic subplots involving supporting male characters (those who know, know).
If Jia Lian is the main character, then Daiyu and Baochai can't be the female leads, right? The three sisters (Chun) are even less likely to be. Could the female lead group this time be Granny Liu? Granny Ma?
Just a heads-up: the author mentioned earlier that he would take Lin Daiyu as a concubine, but later on, he'll probably pair Jia Baoyu with Lin Daiyu. The least charismatic protagonist; this soul-transmigration is meaningless except for gaining some knowledge, and the protagonist is essentially just a mediocre one.
Author, take a look at your previous works about famous detectives, and then look at this mess you've written now! Take a good look!!
I'm leaving now. Old Ao, you can keep writing your lousy "The Story of Minglan" plot.
The author wrote a terrible book; the transmigrated character really thinks he's Jia Lian, even offering up all three of his wives. It's far inferior to Jia Lian in another Qidian novel, *Dream of the Red Chamber*. 🙂
The character design is unappealing, featuring local natives.
The choice of the main character is not very likable.
This Jia Lian is a petty scoundrel who controls the big picture. In the original novel, he's involved in all sorts of promiscuous affairs, sleeping with his male servants, stealing the wives of servants (who are also known for their promiscuity), and taking over his father's concubine. His lifestyle is extremely chaotic.
Don't actually follow those comments in the comment section, like "giving away female characters" or "giving away female characters," especially with that detective story you wrote before. I didn't read it because the comments said Lin Daiyu wasn't accepted, but things aren't like they used to be. Readers' tolerance is getting lower and lower, especially when female characters are spoiled.
It's infuriating! Seeing the main characters matchmake Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and then send Jia Baoyu to the Sheng family's school, makes me want to laugh! What is this? Are they obsessed with supporting Baoyu? Remember Jia Zong from the first wife's family? At least he was easier to support than Baoyu, right? Even Jia Huan was easier to support than Baoyu!
