Books I Have Read Again and Again
A book is its own world, and that world has to make readers believe its stories could happen. The worldbuilding needs to be consistent, the prose should suit the characters, and the story should draw readers in.

A Thirty-Year Bookworm's Collection
There aren't many, but every one is a classic worth rereading.
Top-Tier Cultivation Fantasy with Solid Logic and Smart Characters
❤️ I favor satisfying stories with strong plots and clever strategy, and avoid shallow, fast-food novice fiction with flimsy logic. ❤️ My only screening criterion is the quality of the writing. I don't care about an author's reputation, and I include quality works from all kinds of genres. ❤️ The books near the top are ones I'm currently following. I also occasionally recommend promising new authors as a favor. ❤️ Every book has been selected after extensive reading. No padded, slapdash stori

Just for Fun
I heard it's lame not to make a book list. My tastes are all over the place, and since there's a limit to how many books I can add, I'll gradually remove classic older books to make room for promising new works and ongoing novels. Why can't I get one book approved? I didn't mention an external link even once, did I?

🐳 The idea behind this list: what if, just what if? 🐳 😬 Please follow! No flowers needed! If you're feeling generous, why not show some love to the list owner's flop of a novel? 😂 I've been a bookworm for over ten years, and I hope to make friends through books. 😘 Like plenty of longtime bookworms, I used to read only completed novels. That's why most of the books I've read were already big hits, and they're still popular today. The books below will all be works by big-name authors. I'll share h

Novels I've finished and want to remember
No System, More Exciting
There are so many System novels that I'm tired of reading them. It feels like today's authors can't write a novel without giving it a System, or some other golden finger. The result is a flood of books of wildly varying quality. In truth, writing a great story without a System is the real achievement, and it's more likely to produce a masterpiece.

I read *The Interloper*
I've been a fan of online novels for five years now, and I've read all sorts of them. In my personal opinion, *The Interloper* is undoubtedly a pinnacle of online literature. I first noticed *The Interloper* in 2018 when it was listed as one of the "20 Best Online Novels of the Past 20 Years.
It is still considered to be Mao Ni's masterpiece.
Compared to the author's other works, *The Interloper* is more critical in its themes and more sharply defined in its character portrayals, although the romantic subplot remains as drawn-out as ever. Personally, I believe this work is worth reading for everyone, especially young people.
A divine book! All-encompassing! Incredibly good! I'm terrified I'll never see writing of this caliber again. May the author continue their excellent work! Respect!
This protagonist and this book are truly disgusting to read.
I've read it seven times and always thought it was the pinnacle of Chinese online novels. It's a pity that if the writing had been a little better, the structure a little tighter, and some of the pretentious core of online novels had been removed, it could have rivaled traditional literature.
Why do I like this book? Xu Le, as stubborn as the stinkiest and hardest rock in the Donglin cesspool; Shi Qinghai, as dashing as a fleeting glimpse of light in the dead of night; and the mysterious uncle with countless faces and myriad identities… This is true love!
Although it's an ancient book, the plot is truly toxic.
The protagonist is first inexplicably harassed and humiliated by this woman, and then after she becomes pregnant, he has to inexplicably endure pressure and become a father unexpectedly. A group of extras who came to cause trouble because of this woman ran over and said they were going to break the protagonist's legs. Then the protagonist crippled a group of bodyguards and easily let them go.
The Crown Prince of Joseon in South Korea
I can't believe this! It's so déjà vu! 😄😄
This is the pinnacle of Mao Ni's character portrayal, and I dare say it is also the most collectible and vividly beautiful book among the thousands of books I have read on Qidian, without exception.
