The Thief's Nerve

Books You Can't Put Down

Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.

Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time

Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare

A Mixed Bag of Reads

🍺☕ A veteran reader's list, from someone who's been reading novels for over a decade. ☕🍺 ☁☁☁ (Once you enter the world of web fiction, it's deeper than the sea; games fade like clouds and smoke.) ☁☁☁ The list owner only has an elementary school education, so I'm not very good at writing recommendations. As a longtime reader, I don't care about clichéd tropes. I just want a smooth, easy read that's satisfying. 🍻 These are novels I've read or am reading that I enjoyed. (If you see one you like, pl

A Chronicle of Youthful Fantasies

A little tribute, and a record for posterity

Books I've Collected and Finished, and That Left an Impression (Mostly Complete)

From childhood to adulthood, all kinds of things have moved me, and all kinds of books have touched my heart. Was it the books that moved me, or did I happen upon them at just the right time? Since starting work, I haven't had much time to read. I pick up books here and there, in little fragments, so the emotions never really build or linger. I've still finished a few, though. I'll make time to catch up on the good ones.

Novels I Like

Keeping a record of completed novels I like. I've read lots of novels over the past decade, but I've forgotten their titles, which is a real shame. I'll record them here so I can find them again when I want to reread. It'll take time to build up the list.

Books I've Read Over the Years

A record of my 20 years reading web novels. I read plenty of pirated copies, and some I never finished, while others I reread several times. I was poor back then. I've forgotten the titles of many books I read and can't find them anymore. I'm writing down some personal thoughts as a way to remember, and to thank all the web novel authors I've read. Their work filled my youth and even helped improve my Chinese grades.

Books I've Finished

A roundup of books I've finished. Every title on the list is complete.

Handpicked Completed Novels

I recommend only completed works, and only books I believe are worth reading: the kind you put down after finishing, leave untouched for a while, then pick up and reread when you run out of things to read!

Personal Interests

These are all books I personally like.

Personal Recommendations

Recommendations from a veteran reader

Reviving the Glory of Gaming, Keeping Our Youth Alive, Staying Together Forever

Those moments we once lost... gathering them up, little by little. The glory days of gaming are long gone, but I still remember the classics I read back then. They may have faded, but I can't bear to forget them. Old books and new books, old wine and fresh brews, each has its own flavor. I'll start with the older books, then sort out some newer ones. Later, I'll gradually add promising new titles, too. [If you're interested in other genres, check out my main list: Seedling Maniac. Fantasy lis

Hunting for Books Is Like Panning for Gold ✨✨✨

Finding a good book you actually like in the vast sea of books is truly rare... Choosing books takes a lot of time. I do not have time to keep up with most of the books I add, so the only thing I can guarantee about the books I share is their quality when I added them... This list has started raising promising new works. Requirements for recommendations: steady updates and sound values! I generally keep a recommendation for a week. Those that suit my taste will stay!

Masterpieces With Characters Who Actually Have Brains

Mainly recommending completed novels. Lately I've noticed that a lot of books start strong and then go downhill. For most of them, the first third is so engrossing you forget to eat or sleep, but the middle turns into a slog. You don't want to quit because the opening was so good, yet continuing feels like a waste of time. Here are some books I read in the past and thought were pretty decent.

Completed Favorites

Finished classics I personally love, and will keep forever.

[Twenty Years of Web Novels: Completed Gaming Masterpieces]

A list specially recommended for newcomers. Veteran readers have probably read these already, so no need to look. Top-quality books, all over a million words and complete.

Good Books I've Read, So I Won't Forget Them

This list mainly recommends books with compelling stories and good writing, though there are also some wish-fulfillment stories. I’ll keep updating it.
