A Record of Books I've Read

Twenty years of ups and downs

Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Science Fiction Masterpieces

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.

Dear Authors: Single-Tag Favorites, Mostly Completed

Please follow 🗂️🗂️🗂️ Give it a like ❤❤❤ Send some flowers 🌺 Most of the books on this list came out several years ago... maybe even more than a decade ago. This is a look back at some lesser-known works, with a few unavoidable big-name authors mixed in. I hope you enjoy them. If a recommendation blurb doesn't pass review after an update, I'll remove that book from the list without further notice. Thanks for understanding.

Books That Have Stayed in My Memory

After reading so many books, how many will stay in our memories?

A Youthful Melody

My all-time favorites.

Enjoying Brilliant Writing at Leisure

Most of these books stand out for their narrative style, storytelling, characterization, and depth of ideas, and deserve to be called classics. They're logically sound, promote healthy values, and appeal to readers of all tastes. Their writing holds its own against the best works by authors of traditionally published books! I've also factored in my personal preferences, so they all get nine stars! Nothing is perfect, so I'm saving one star. I'll also share books that have a few shortcomings but

My Favorites

Your Poison, My Honey!

Great books that were unfairly written off

Upright Values, Suitable for Students

With sound values and no extremism, these are books I’d feel comfortable recommending to readers in high school and younger. They may offer philosophical insights or guidance for learning. Chinese classics, language and literature, mathematics, physics and chemistry, astronomy, nature, history, geography, music, art, sports, military affairs, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, psychology. I hope stories in all kinds of professional fields can spark students’ motivation and interest in learning.

Cat's No. 1 Reading List

As a cute, adorable girl, I only recommend books I've read and enjoyed, and I mostly stick to completed works. I've been an avid reader for over twenty years, so you can trust my recommendations.

A Book Nook for Omnivorous Readers Who'd Die Without Novels

My tastes are all over the place. I read both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction, and enjoy classics as well as simpler stories. In principle, I only read completed books. The list has limited space, so I’ll selectively remove books based on their ratings. My personal rating scale 95+: Classics worth rereading two, three, or even more times; 90: Excellent books with storylines worth revisiting; 80: Good reads with some standout moments; 70: Average novels with no major highlights or flaws

Fresh, Natural, and Unpretentious Reads Worth Recommending

I can't stand stories that force their settings or make no sense. I like writing that's fresh, natural, and unpretentious. I've read every one of these. A longtime reader's honest recommendations. If you like them, please give this list a thumbs-up. 5 stars: Highly recommended 4 stars: Really good 3 stars: Worth a read

Abandoned Novels on My Bookshelf

Books that were abandoned or ended badly, but I'm still hoping they'll come back to life.

Mind-Bending Reads

Worth revisiting again and again

A Few Interesting Reads

A few books with something to them. I read all kinds of genres. If it’s good, I’ll read it. I’ve stumbled across countless duds, so I only recommend books worth reading at least twice. Hehe.
