Those Nostalgic Stories That Got You Hooked

Remember those nights spent reading until dawn? The time has come. Rise again, my beloved books!

All Masterpieces, Across Every Genre

I've been reading for over ten years. From classic science fiction, romance, and foreign literature to today's online fiction, I've read more books than I can count, across all kinds of genres. I especially recommend works that start out steadily and then really take off. This list features books like that in all sorts of genres.

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

Some Solid Reads I've Enjoyed!

Some of the solid reads I've enjoyed

All My Fellow Travelers, Let’s Walk This Road Together

The first novel series I read was The Mercenaries. I was in sixth grade, and I shamelessly begged a classmate to lend it to me. It blew my mind. I couldn't believe novels could be so good, and I was hooked from then on. Before college, I didn't have much access to the internet, so I'd read books from bookstores, lending stalls, and libraries, or decide what I wanted to read and quickly download it to my MP5. Of course, plenty of those devices got confiscated too. In high school, I secretly saved

I Only Read the Best Novels!

I started reading on Qidian in 2006. I used to read everything, but now I only read the best. I've lost track of how many books I've read, so today I'm sharing some of the good ones with everyone!

Books Absolutely Worth Reading: Heartfelt Recommendations

All classics. Some are quite old, with tens of millions of readers. There's something for everyone: passionate tales, cultivation, sports, slice of life, urban fiction, historical stories, transmigration, supernatural powers, magic, niche genres, infinite-flow, and post-apocalyptic stories.

Either They're Creative, Well-Written, or Classics.

A lot of these are no longer available, but they're absolutely worth reading. You can look for them elsewhere. I'll try not to recommend novels that have been heavily hyped.

Could Not Think of a Name

Most of these are great reads.

Easy Reading: I'm So Tired of the Devour-and-Absorb Trope!

These are simply books I like. Most are complete. I'm not too demanding, but I can't read just anything. What matters most is the author: some write one great book after another. Most titles here are ones I've read, and this list is a way to keep track of them. I'll add more whenever I think of it. Unfortunately, many older books have been locked away, so all I can do is recommend other books by their authors and note that. I really hate writers who disguise their work as Eastern-inspired fictio

My Personal Collection, Currently Following!

These are the books I can still keep reading right now and am currently following. I'll mention fewer books from the various rankings and by famous authors, since most people will already have some impression of them. At the same time, I'll recommend some books I read in the past that left a particularly deep impression. Fewer people may have read them, but they are all marks left by my more than ten years as a reader! I'll also update the book list from time to time, gradually replacing books w

Books to Read When You're Out of Ideas, Take Your Pick!

Take a look for yourself. I'm no good at writing descriptions! And if you know any good books, be sure to recommend them to me! I lost track of The Imperial Physician and The Rise of a Literary Giant in the Republic of China, two books I really liked. What a shame!
