A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So

Completed Good Reads for Soft-Spoken Girls! I Wouldn't Recommend Them If They Weren't Good!
I'm a woman, but I'm not particularly tough-minded. I wouldn't dare call myself a delicate little sweetheart, but I really am a timid girl. I've spent eight years reading, so this list has both new books and classics, by both big-name authors and lesser-known ones. The only exception is A Little Trouble in the Immortal Realm, because it's written by yours truly, Xiao Zi! That's how I roll! Every book on this list is complete. Complete, complete, complete! That's important, so I'm saying it three

As Long as I Like It
I've been an avid reader for ten years and have read tons of books on Qidian. Some I liked, some I didn't; some I've reread, while others I dropped after one try. Some won me over at first sight, while others only hooked me once they went premium. As a mature woman, I mostly read female-oriented fiction, though I've also read plenty of great books from the main site. But I avoid harem and polyandry novels, and I can't get into childish stories, alternate-dimension novels, or Korean entertainment

Completed Historical Romance with Female Leads
Classic historical romance novels with female leads that I've read, loved, and still think about from time to time. They're all complete; I don't like following ongoing series.
A Song Sent with a Letter, Asking Nothing of the Book's Ending or Whether We Meet Again
I dedicate a song to you, asking not whether we'll be together when it ends. Who scattered the incense smoke, scattering the tangled bonds between us? Hear the strings snap, severing three thousand threads of longing. Falling petals sink beneath the ripples of a morning breeze. If a flower could feel pity, whose fingertips would it fall upon? The mountain has trees, and the trees have branches. I love you, but you don't know.

It's well-written, but what I don't understand is why the female lead's transmigrated identity seems so useless. Usually, having multiple lives is meant to prepare the female lead for more skills, at least giving her a marketable skill. But while she clearly recognizes book titles, she can't read in class and lacks basic life skills. So what's the point of this transmigrated identity?
The female protagonist transmigrated to become an observer of the story.
Actually, the author's writing is alright, but trying to weave too many stories into the narrative makes it feel like the female lead's role is being neglected. Many of the smaller stories also feel disjointed, ultimately relying on epilogues to fill in the gaps.
I dropped the story halfway through, mainly because the male lead wasn't to my taste. I dislike the "jumping out of a window" trope, especially in historical romance novels. I could accept it if the characters were already engaged. (Spoilers ahead.) In the chapters I read, the male lead was portrayed as a traveling merchant who frequented the female lead's house.
These are just my personal thoughts. Please don't be offended if you disagree. Thank you.
I'm checking in after finishing the entire book. This is my first time reading a female-oriented novel. Well, the author wrote quite well, but the plot felt a bit disjointed, and I didn't quite grasp what was happening at the end. First, the time-traveling identity wasn't used; the ending mentioned compromising with the times, which I felt was completely unnecessary.
The age of twenty is considered the age of adulthood. Shen Jing was already that old when the female lead was three, yet she accompanied eight-year-old Zhao Lü to school. That's so awkward!
There's a misused idiom at the beginning of Chapter 31... "" (Bù rěn zú kàn) is incorrect. The original is "" (bù rěn zú dú), and while changing it to "" (kàn) is acceptable, the meaning is "the writing is so good that I can't bear to finish reading it," which doesn't fit the context of the text.
I really like the author's BL (Boys' Love) works, but why has the romance style become so... Indescribable...? This story features a completely local female protagonist, so why is she wearing a time-travel veneer?
The writing is excellent; I was hooked from the very first chapter. The rest of the story unfolded smoothly and gradually, making it a very enjoyable read. The female lead is somewhat naive and innocent, knowing nothing and living a very ordinary life. I really dislike the recurring scenes where the female lead seems to have something to say but can't quite remember it.
I couldn't continue after reading more than ten chapters. It was a waste of money to subscribe to the whole book. I need to change my habit of ordering books based on titles alone. In the first ten or so chapters, the princesses and other women in the book were a bit frivolous, saying whatever came to mind regardless of the situation.
