The list includes famous and obscure books, old and popular ones, and even some that are no longer available on Qidian. Only books with strong writing and plot make it onto this list.

🔥Timeless Masterpieces🔥
☕☕Some books are never forgotten. They only grow more fragrant with the passing years! There's something for everyone: xuanhuan, xianxia, supernatural, Western fantasy, urban, sci-fi, wuxia, gaming, and more! You may not have heard of some of these books, but that doesn't mean they're not good. They're simply not famous. When I recommend a book, I prioritize the writing, then the plot, then originality. Things like the System, style, and setting come after that. 🌴🌴Qidian really does have some gr

My Personal Picks: No Shallow Wish-Fulfillment or Over-the-Top Drama
Ten years ago, I loved power fantasies. Over time, I gradually stopped reading them and stopped following some big-name authors. Most of them changed so much after becoming famous that their writing was nothing like it used to be. Here are some works I've personally thought were excellent over the years.
A Young Reader's Big Reading List
I wrote every review on this list myself. Of course, they're not very well written, and some are a bit long-winded. There may also be spoilers, intentional or otherwise. If you don't want to read me rambling, just look at the titles. Please bear with me! Every book on this list is one I've personally read all the way through. Quite a few I've read more than once. Good books stand the test of time. I read a pretty wide range of genres, and my taste isn't necessarily mainstream, so don't say thing
Books with Outstanding Plots
I've revamped the list and settled on a theme: new genres that are most worth trying right now. Suggestions are welcome! The list is full, so I'll soon move some older books with fewer followers to the comments section. If you see a book you like on the list, please be sure to give it a like, or one day you may only find it in the comments...

After reading dozens of chapters, I finally understand why this book is so hyped up. In reality, very few people read it; it's toxic! A female ghost gets her love rival drunk, deliberately runs her over with a car, paralyzing her, then jumps off a building. Even in death, she harms two construction workers. She was utterly wicked, both in life and in death.
Old Cui, I read your book when I was sixteen, and then I read shamanistic rituals, the Three Paths, and the Birdman. Now I'm in my early twenties, and I read these books every year. I owe you a monthly pass! Here it is today!
I couldn't resist writing a book review. This novel had a huge impact on me. Before this, I had only read fantasy and urban novels. I was just getting into online novels then, and after reading this, I realized that fate is unpredictable, and not everything can go my way. Back then, life was uneventful, without any great ambitions.
There are a few bad things about this book. The main character's personality is also problematic. Every time he encounters a ghost, he screams in fright. After seeing it so many times, it's no wonder he's not afraid of anything. Is the author deliberately padding the book with more words?
I keep seeing comments defending it, saying it's bad because it's a ten-year-old book. But ten years isn't a hundred years ago! Weren't there plenty of good books back then? In terms of writing style and plot, this book isn't even worthy of being compared to it. You can find fault with the simplest, most basic word choice and sentence structure, and yet it's a good book…
With writing like this, how come so many people are praising it? The protagonist is a saint, fine, but there's also a ton of nonsense. It's obviously just filler. I read 1/10, but I can't take it anymore. Goodbye!
The idea that those who cultivate Taoism are destined to suffer from the Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings is pure nonsense. The Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings are only the retribution for those who practice unorthodox methods, such as fortune telling, divination, and prying into the secrets of heaven to make a profit. If one cultivates Taoism normally, one will not suffer from these things. Otherwise, would there still be people in Taoism?
This book is simply bizarre in its values; every word reeks of resentment towards the rich and is utterly perverse. Someone takes you to the hospital, and you turn around and beat them up. You believe all the money someone else earned was embezzled. This worldview is truly astounding.
Can you trolls please have some decency? This book is so old, and you're using today's tastes to mindlessly criticize it. How many of you actually read it seriously? What book is perfect? What book doesn't have flaws? You just seize on one flaw and magnify it endlessly. To be honest, when I read this book ten years ago, I was so scared I didn't dare go to the bathroom in broad daylight.
Books from almost 11 or 12 years ago are still being criticized...
