See allA List of Masterpieces: Only Classics I've Read or Promising Newcomers, Here to Cure Your Reading Slump
I only recommend books I’ve read: the all-time classics or exciting new releases, across every genre. I’ll keep updating, and you can let me know about any good books I should add. (Readers can use the upvote-to-downvote ratio to judge a book.)
My Personal Reading List
I finished these and thought they were pretty good, so I'm recommending them.
Urban Life | All of Life's Ups and Downs
Excellent
⊙∀⊙ Book Library
Good books I used to enjoy. My taste is all over the place.
Classic Good Reads
I've loved reading since I was little, and started reading web novels in 2008. I'm Is a Great Wizard, Blasphemy, Mercenaries Under the Heavens, The Beast Blood Boils, The Legend of the Soldier, and Grave Robbers' Chronicles are, in my opinion, some of the most classic novels to date. My favorite web novel authors are Jiutu and Zeidao Sanchi. What a shame!!! I'll keep updating this list...

A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
Book Pavilion: A Few Volumes for Leisurely Reading
I've been reading for ten years, so I ought to leave something behind. My tastes lean toward fantasy and cultivation novels, though I occasionally mix in other genres. Most of these are older books, but I'll add new ones when I find something good.
Books I Still Remember After Ten Years
Books tucked away in my memories
My Favorite Completed Novels
Complete novels that I was able to read attentively to the end, and that still feel like classics whenever I look back on them after time has passed. Any genre is welcome; updates are irregular. Give them a try. (I personally like tightly reasoned stories that don't shoehorn in a harem for its own sake. I don't like brainless stories, beginner-level writing, or pointless venting. P.S. Whatever the subject or manner of the venting.)
Ten Years in a Dream
Reborn, transmigrate, historical, urban, supernatural powers.
No Shallow, Brain-Dead Stories
The plots are logically sound, free of major annoyances, and the writing is definitely up to par. The urban novels I recommend have details that feel realistic. The cultivation novels have, in my opinion, a pretty rich imagination, without inexplicably weak beginnings, humiliated protagonists, or idiotic villains. The slice-of-life stories are all beloved by snarky readers 😄. The science fiction-leaning stories have calm-headed protagonists, and evenly matched rivals make the whole book more com

Anyway, if you're out of books to read, I don't lose anything by sharing.
Chiwu's Scripture Pavilion
I love passionate stories above all else. I do not care about style or authors, and I reject Western works. Anything I like can make the list. However, as a girl, I reject womanizers, protagonists who recklessly attract romantic entanglements, and protagonists who become idiots whenever they see a woman. I hate trying to act cool for the sake of acting cool. I read slowly and am rather picky, so my standards for finding a good novel are fairly high. I like to start with novels that have at least
All My Fellow Travelers, Let’s Walk This Road Together
The first novel series I read was The Mercenaries. I was in sixth grade, and I shamelessly begged a classmate to lend it to me. It blew my mind. I couldn't believe novels could be so good, and I was hooked from then on. Before college, I didn't have much access to the internet, so I'd read books from bookstores, lending stalls, and libraries, or decide what I wanted to read and quickly download it to my MP5. Of course, plenty of those devices got confiscated too. In high school, I secretly saved

Dead Leaf's Follow List
Great books that are both exciting and fun. A little reading every day feeds my love of daydreaming. I prefer lighthearted stories, but there's plenty of other stuff too. If you like a book, please give it a thumbs-up. So many books got taken down all at once. I've decided to become a more active reader. Please vote and leave comments!

This book should be considered a masterpiece 😘️
I advise anyone who comes after me not to read books on dancing; you'll regret it. That's all I'll say.
Another case of protagonist being abused.
This protagonist has undergone training and fought many life-or-death battles, yet despite possessing immense power, he remains utterly vulnerable and shows no improvement. Several of the author's books feature protagonists who suffer. Is the protagonist stupid, a masochist, or is the author himself a masochist?
The beginning of this book was okay, but when I saw Zhang Xiaotao's character, I started to have a bad feeling. I thought to myself, "She's just a minor character." Then, damn it, she became the female lead, and I just blew it off! Just think of Phoenix and Ya Ya, I really feel sorry for them. In short, it's a wicked master and a wicked female lead.
When I was writing this book, I was in junior high school and followed the serialization. I really liked the character Phoenix back then—the plot, her personality, and even her unique way of appearing in the story were exactly what I imagined.
I remember when I was writing this book, my boyfriend ran off with someone else?
The early game is absolutely classic and timeless; the mid-game is just 💩; and the late game is the ugliest 💩.
I read *The Heavenly King* about ten years ago. Actually, *The Heavenly King* has always been my favorite novel by Tiaowu, even though it might be his least favorite. Perhaps it's because Tiaowu's urban novels have a unique flavor, and the personalities of the male and female protagonists in this book are quite to my liking.
This book was really good in the beginning; the premise was very modern and well-developed for its time, and the characters were vivid. However, in the later part of the book, Dancing (the author's character) had some kind of trouble in his real life, so the later parts became completely nonsensical. Even the author's perception of the characters changed, so you can imagine how drastically the novel was altered. It's a real shame about this book.
The excellent character development was completely ruined by the author's "venting" style of writing in the middle of the story; two originally perfect female leads were inexplicably cheated on by a minor character who appeared in a side story in the middle of the story 😰😰😰. The author's mentality collapsed in the later stages of writing due to personal reasons, so this is not recommended as a light novel.
