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.

Needle in a Haystack

The road to becoming a great author isn't easy. I've seen many good books get no exposure and then get dropped, which is heartbreaking. In recent years, I've had to cut back on my spending and can't support the authors I like as much as I'd wish. The least I can do now is avoid pirated copies. I hope we can come together to support outstanding authors. If you find a good book on this list, please support its author with subscriptions, votes, or tips. Thank you.

  6. Multiple heroines? It was impossible to have more female leads in 1984

  7. I thought it would be poisonous, but I didn't expect it to be so poisonous in the first three chapters. Apart from the writing style, it's okay. I wonder if the author has too many fans.
