Worth Collecting: Books I've Read Over the Past 20 Years
I open Qidian looking for something worth reading, but it's getting harder and harder to find. The main problem isn't the pacing. It's the basic logic. Plenty of stories are entertaining and easy to read, but you can't think too hard about them. The moment you spot a glaring flaw in the logic, you lose the desire to keep reading.
Reading List Log
I'll jot things down when they come to mind.

Those Nostalgic Stories That Got You Hooked
Remember those nights spent reading until dawn? The time has come. Rise again, my beloved books!
For When You’re in a Reading Slump: Updated Whenever I Find a Gem
I favor urban, historical, slice-of-life, and fantasy novels. 👉 Classics, completed gems, and great web novels are shared in the comments. 👉 I don't update the list often. It can only hold 50 books from this site, so when I add new ones, completed gems may be moved to the comments. 👉 I like sharing works with sound values and solid logic. I hope someone can recommend some older books. The new releases are hard to stomach.
Books That Captivated Me Over the Years
Books I love deserve to be remembered! I'm collecting all the books I enjoy reading here, and sharing my most sincere thoughts about them. When I look back later, I'll have something to remember them by. I've been reading web novels for well over ten years now, from fifth grade in elementary school to starting work. I've forgotten so many books. Whenever one comes back to me, I'll add it to a list. I'll just take things as they come.
[Multiple Female Leads] 🌸I Like You and Them🌸
🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 With delicate brows and peach blossoms in bloom. Love is a mystery: we know not where it begins, where it finds a home, where it takes root, how it can be untangled, where it disappears, or where it ends.

Here you'll find the ideal first love, pure and sincere; The shy, bewildered experience of being loved, with one person giving their all and the other lost and unsure; A
[Brilliant Stars] That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its [world-building completeness]. For no

Recommendations from an 18-Year Veteran Bookworm
A longtime web-novel reader. I only recommend good novels with distinctive plots or exceptional writing, and I'll keep adding to the list! P.S. I'm not a fan of cultivation novels. New authors are welcome to promote their books, but I won't add them unless they suit my taste. Thanks for understanding!
My Personal Taste: Everything I Enjoy Goes Here, with the Number of Heroines Noted
Hey, I'm back with an update. A mixed bag, mostly with multiple heroines, and I think most are finished. I'll update irregularly, mainly with fantasy and xianxia, though I'll cover anything if it catches my eye. There seems to be a limit to how many books a list can hold, so if it gets too long, I'll try listing authors instead of individual works. I'll mention any of their books I've read before, and leave out the ones I haven't. The character limit got increased, which is great! I'll also put

Books I Love to Read
Hope others will enjoy these too
Sci-Fi (Cutting-Edge Tech) and Clean Reads
[My main recommendations are science fiction, sci-fi with advanced technology, and science fiction exploring ideology. Even if a book isn't officially classified as sci-fi, I'll call it science fiction if I say so.] [I'll also recommend novels with distinctive qualities that I enjoy, along with other books I think are good.] [I promise to introduce my recommendations while avoiding spoilers as much as possible.] Most science fiction on Qidian still falls short of my ideal of science fiction comb
Mental Stockpile
One good book can make you forget sleep, hunger, video games, and dating. Stack up enough good books, and you won’t need to sleep at night. There are always classic books you’ll read from cover to cover more than once, and stories and characters worth revisiting and savoring. Once time has settled the clamor of the world, these books will make your reading life feel wonderfully peaceful and fulfilling.
Platinum Classics Through the Years 🔥 One Book Each
In July 2006, Qidian introduced its Platinum Writer program. After China Literature was founded in 2015, Qidian's Platinum Writer system came under unified management by the group. The selection pool has since expanded from Qidian to all of the group's affiliated platforms. Platinum Writer has gradually become a widely recognized title for top authors. This list tracks currently active Platinum Writers, with one book chosen for each author. The recommendations list their works in different cate

Diamonds are forever, classics are timeless. It's almost 2020, and this 13-year-old sci-fi book is still unsurpassed! 🪖🪖🪖Let's read it again!
I've finished reading it. It was just a light novel from back then. It's decent, but not a masterpiece. There are too many typical slapstick and face-slapping scenes, and many parts are quite cliché.
I'll catch up on my subscriptions once I get my red envelope for Chinese New Year. I miss the feeling of reading back then... A nearly complete worldview and strategic tactics, perfectly integrated with the history of World War I and II, it's just that the protagonist's harem is a bit of a pain. But... Live on, Lere Federation!

Thank you, imposter hero, for appearing in my homework.
Those who say this book is a piece of simplistic fiction are talking nonsense and lying through their teeth. No sci-fi novel featuring mechs and warships is as well-written as this fake.
The writing is very good, but the only reason I don't want to read it is because the main character is fat... I just can't empathize with him at all...
1. If you can finish reading the free chapters, I highly recommend reading the whole book. If you can't even get through the free chapters, I don't suggest paying for the rest; not everyone can accept the protagonist's personality. 2. The author, Qi Erbian, wrote this book in his middle age, pouring his writing talent and the experiences and thoughts he gained from his main profession into the…
This is the number one masterpiece of online literature in my heart.
Having read online novels for 12 years, I started reading "The Ultimate Housekeeper" when it first came out, and I haven't seen anything comparable since. The book's core spirit and framework, filled with vivid details, excellent war descriptions, and tactical arrangements, make for a thrilling and exhilarating read.
This book should be even more popular; I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. There are some aspects that might seem negative now—the protagonist is overweight, and there's a harem—but I don't think these are flaws. In wartime, an ordinary, immature overweight man is forced into becoming a hero. The title, *The Fake Hero*, is very fitting.
