Everything except Western fantasy, and I've reread most of these at least twice.

Worth a Read
The books on this list aren't ranked. They're listed according to when I read them and the impression they left on me. Finally, thanks to everyone who has followed, commented, or sent flowers. I hope my humble opinions can inspire you all.
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.
A Thirty-Year Bookworm's Collection
There aren't many, but every one is a classic worth rereading.
My Favorite Historical Fiction (Mostly Power Struggles and Lesser-Known Dynasties)
Experience the weight of history. This list includes both new and old books. Recommendations are welcome~ (P.S. I recommend some books in the comments.)
An Uncle Recommends Books
A veteran reader of uncle age. I only recommend books I've checked out and liked, and I post at irregular intervals. Serious recommendations from someone who takes reading seriously. I started reading classic literature in fourth grade, wuxia in eighth grade, spent my college years on Longkong, and bought physical books and read Qidian after I started working. I've kept up a daily reading habit for over twenty years since entering the workforce. I've been around the forums and have plenty of rea
I Love Cultivation and Xuanhuan. Star Ratings for Books I've Read Carefully.
March 2023. I’m fed up with Qidian and have barely been reading lately. So many books near the top of the monthly ticket rankings are disappointing! I review everything I read carefully to help you avoid repeatedly getting burned. The more stars, the better. I’ve read so many books that my standards are high, so I’ve dropped a lot of them. These are my honest opinions, and I can be pretty harsh, so please bear with me. Very few books catch my eye. (I keep up with them as they update, so my revie
My Bookhouse
I'm making a list of books that I've read and still remember clearly, to help me remember them. Even if I forget, I can find them here. I can also recommend good books I've read to fellow readers, and find books they suggest in the comments. I might even discover something great that I've never read. Good books are getting harder and harder to find.
Some Great Books to Recommend
Here are some pretty good books I've read myself. If you like any of them, let's exchange recommendations for books we've read and found worthwhile.
Shared Discussion Zone
I created this list to share good books and discuss the ones everyone thinks are worth reading. All fellow readers are welcome to join the discussion.
Miao Renfeng Loves History
History books only. I only like classics; I don't read books that waste my time with amateur writing
A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems
I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many
Recommendations from a Veteran Reader Who Started Reading Online in 2003
I've been reading on Qidian for over 5,400 days, longer than 88 percent of readers. I was devastated when the author Zei Dao San Chi passed away, and didn't log into Qidian for years. When I finally came back, all my posts and reading lists were gone, so I'll have to rebuild them bit by bit. I tend to like historical, military, sci-fi, and urban novels. For some reason, I can only recommend ten books for now. I'll add more when that's possible. Authors like Angel Oscar, Geng Xin, Mao Ni, and San

Great Novels
For those who love reading, books are a pleasure. The ideas within their pages are an invisible force that shapes your thoughts and outlook. Spend enough time immersed in books and you’ll become thoughtful and perceptive, with broad knowledge, eloquent speech, and refined character. That’s the mark of a well-read person.
🌹Those Treasured Books!🌹
I have been reading and writing on Qidian for sixteen years. Looking through my bookshelf, I found many books that left a deep impression, so I am using this list to select some classics and share them with everyone. Of course, I will also add some new books I have read recently. Updates whenever necessary....
Books I've Always Loved
Books are time machines that take us back to the ancient past. Even if we can’t live in those times, studying history lets us understand them inside and out. Books are also tunnels that lead us into the future. Through scientific research, we can glimpse what lies ahead, to a certain extent. That’s the power of reading!
Huage Yachen's Reading List
There is no denying it: those who form a bond with books are bound to be happy. People experience joy and sorrow, partings and reunions, just as the moon waxes and wanes. The road of life is full of hardships and setbacks, but also bright sunshine and beautiful flowers. Friends come and go, yet books alone can stay by your side and remain with you throughout your life.
Sharing the Joy Is Better Than Enjoying It Alone
Mountains and rivers are the books of the earth, so please take the time to understand them; books are the mountains and rivers on your desk, so please enjoy them to your heart's content. On World Book Day, may you appreciate more of nature's beauty and enjoy more of the pleasure of reading.
Updated Irregularly
Living in this world of ours, it is utterly impossible to understand people without reading.

Damn it, I broke up with my girlfriend on December 31, 2009, and you started this book the next day. Now I have two kids and you're still not updating. What am I even saying?
I still want to say this: Why not finish it? This book is such a classic. It's much better than being a live-in son-in-law.
Another year has passed. Is Grandpa Ao now guarding the imperial tombs?
Although the author continues writing on another platform, and I support him, the book's structure is so excellent that it would be a shame if it weren't renewed, whether due to contractual or personal reasons. Being responsible to readers is a fundamental ethical responsibility of both authors and publishing platforms, and should be given the utmost importance.
I really hope that some leader from the Jiangsu Development and Reform Commission also enjoys reading this book, and then tells Grandpa Ao: "If you don't finish this book, I'll kick you out, and you're not allowed to leave it unfinished!"
Even the most amorous eunuch of the Three Kingdoms period, Eunuch Zhao, has left the palace to make errands. When will Eunuch Ao leave the palace?
Power of thought, everyone, tell me: if you don't come back, I'll make you lose one centimeter every year.
I'm burning incense to commemorate this. Thinking about the films released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday... The poem "Man Jiang Hong" evokes mixed feelings, but I just find it funny.
Oscar, it would be a great loss if you didn't finish writing such a good book.
Ten years have passed, let's see if the Northern Expedition has succeeded.
