Sixteen Years of Recommending Only the Best
I've read countless books. Once, I chased quantity and quick thrills, reading everything from famous authors to newcomers. But the true masters gradually disappeared, and bland books became endless. Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,
[Multiple Female Leads] 🌸I Like You and Them🌸
🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 With delicate brows and peach blossoms in bloom. Love is a mystery: we know not where it begins, where it finds a home, where it takes root, how it can be untangled, where it disappears, or where it ends. One year added to life, one year taken away; Call you my darling, then chide you, my darling. Here you'll find the ideal first love, pure and sincere; The shy, bewildered experience of being loved, with one person giving their all and the other lost and unsure; A

I read a pretty wide range of books. I’ve given all the books on this list a taste test. I’m not good with words, so just read the blurbs yourself.
Recommended by a Veteran Reader, Not for Beginners!
Recommended classics. I started reading novels at fifteen, and I'm forty-two this year, so that's nearly twenty-four years! From the Four Great Classical Novels to Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an, from bookstores to web fiction... Reading is not just a pleasure; it also takes thought. Online novels are becoming increasingly childish and vulgar, and there are fewer and fewer classics... There are more and more garbage System stories!

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.

The Curator Finally Remembered They Had a Booklist: Updated Today
This list focuses on good books with coherent plots, their own worldviews, and real depth. Whether they're by famous authors or newcomers, anything that fits will be added. A lot of friends have recommended books, and I'm still testing many of them. Work keeps me busy, so I don't have much time to read, but I'll make sure to follow up on everyone's recommendations. Also, because work is so busy, I haven't read many of the books people have recommended. When I get the chance, I'll check them out

I Might Be a Fake Girl: A Girl's Picks from Male-Oriented Xianxia
Maybe I really am a fake girl, part two is here This time, I am mainly recommending xianxia works. 😂😂😂😂 The first web novel I ever read was the xianxia work Zhu Xian. Back then, as a girl still full of youthful romantic feelings, I cried my eyes out reading it😭😭😭😭😭😭 That is why I have a particular fondness for xianxia works. Boys with swords long as dragons, fairies in robes whiter than snow, and enchanting demonesses all linger in my dreams. So I specially selected the xianxia works I enjoy rea
Feel-Good Reads and More
As I held The Story of How Steel Was Tempered and became immersed in it, I felt so fortunate to have a healthy body. Pavel may have been crippled, but his refusal to bow to fate, his strength of will, and his indomitable spirit deeply moved and impressed me. They filled me with hope for my studies and life ahead. I love reading even more now.

A fragment of the Great Dao emerged from the Luo River; how many people were driven mad by it, captivated by it back then? Now, it's too late; we're too old!
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
I read *The Journey to the North* in 2008, during my senior year of high school. It's probably a niche book. It was discontinued for many years; I forget when, maybe two years ago, Luo Shui finished it again. The story was very light and enjoyable. Years have passed, and I've gone from a senior in college to five years after graduation. Time flies...
Ten Years of Traveling North of Luoshui
Good books are not defined by age, nor by authorship. To those who say a book is outdated or discourage readers because of this, I can only offer two words: you are very superficial. My first real fascination with online novels stemmed from the serialization of "Peerless Martial God" in 2013.
Those trolls, do you know that now when I look back at old books like Panlong and Zhetian, or even ancient masterpieces like Xiedu and Zichuan, I can't stand reading them? It's all garbage. But who can deny the status of these books in the online literature world? The formulas used in new books nowadays are all extracted from these books.
Suddenly seeing "The Journey to the North" stirred up my childhood fantasies. I remember watching "The Journey to the North" for the first time in my third year of junior high school. Now I have graduated from university and have been working for two years. Looking back, nine years have passed.
This book is definitely among the best online novels.
—The Beginning "Those who ask the question and are answered do not know the Way; even those who ask the question have not heard the Way. The Way has no question, and the question has no answer. To ask the question when there is no question is to exhaust the question; to answer the question when there is no answer is to have no inner understanding.
After reading dozens of chapters, I feel like I can predict the plot more and more... And the first-person narration, coupled with Gai Liuzi's incessant chatter, is really frustrating. What makes it a masterpiece? In today's terms, is it second-rate writing, fourth-rate plot, and first-rate core themes?
It's not a matter of whether it's hype or not, it's just that the target audience is different. Readers in different eras have different preferences, and even the best old articles cannot escape the changes in the environment. (If someone insists on criticizing a web novel for not standing the test of time, then I suggest you read classic works instead of web novels.)
A book from fifteen years ago... Why are so many people praising it? Even the author himself is embarrassed.
