High-Quality Male-Targeted Novels with Female Protagonists, Recommended in Three Sentences
As the title says, unlike my other list with its long recommendation blurbs, this one offers brief, three-sentence recommendations for gender-bender or male-audience novels with female protagonists rated four stars or higher: a summary, my reading impressions, and notes about the author. Timeliness is the priority. I've read every book here, and none use female-audience writing conventions.
Powerful Protagonists Focused on Cultivation, Not Romance
I haven’t logged into this account in ages, so I’m clearing out some old books. After thinking it over, I decided to recommend both strong male and strong female leads. There aren’t many books where the protagonist is solely focused on getting stronger, so recommending only strong female leads would get a bit monotonous. Moving completed books and abandoned ones here. ❤ Online After the Apocalypse ❤ The City’s Adorkable Record ❤ The Empress’s Life ❤ Cannon Fodder’s Strategy ❤ The Home Master ❤ T
Smart Stories with No Romance or Minimal Romance
Just as the title says, I’m a veteran reader. This isn’t a list of books for elementary schoolers. I prefer smart protagonists and read sci-fi, xianxia, fantasy, and mystery. I never expected anyone to bookmark this list. I’d rather find lists that suit my tastes, since I’m always looking for something good to read. (A note about recommendations: I won’t recommend a book from the comments unless I’ve read at least 100 chapters. I’ve read plenty that started well but turned to garbage after the f

First things first: no playboys or harems. There's a bit of everything here, for readers of any gender. I've read every book on this list carefully myself. I'll keep updating it if I can. I didn't know about Qidian at first and just searched online. Later I got a basic paid account, but after reading more, I decided it wasn't worth it, so I upgraded to a premium account. Everything recommended here is a book I've read myself. Feel free to like the books you enjoy o(≧v≦)o. The most-liked books wi

Completed Classics Worth Revisiting During a Reading Slump: Male Protagonist or No Female Lead
As a bookworm whose only hobby is reading novels, I often revisit these books when I can't find anything to read. I recommend them here and hope to chat with fellow fans. My reading preferences: single male protagonist or no female lead. No romantic tension, womanizers, harems, BL, or yuri. Horror and suspense are out, too. Every book on this list is complete, and the story tends to be optimistic. I've read them all at least three times, and they always give me a lift when I'm down or have nothi

I have just one requirement: the characters need to have some common sense. The genres are all over the place, with a bit of everything. You'll rarely find the familiar blockbusters here, but every book I recommend is a good one. I hope this list can help anyone who's at a loss for what to read. This list is just for my own amusement.

Primarily Male-Oriented, with a Sole Female Lead (Other Types Noted Separately)
Are you tired of stories where a female protagonist is reincarnated as a man and the gender contrast is played up? I often wonder why the protagonist couldn't have been a woman from the start. This list mainly collects men's-fiction novels with female protagonists that I personally think are good. By that, I mean the protagonist is a woman both physically and mentally. I've also included female-led stories from other categories. There are so few of these, so I made this list as a reference for i

Personal Favorites
Mostly fantasy and historical fiction. This is my personal reading list. Paratrooper Bai, spare me the nonsense. Most people these days are illiterate idiots. They struggle with long sentences and written language, and even have trouble understanding short, conversational sentences. They can read ten thousand words and still have no idea what the author wrote. They desperately want to identify with the characters and get their so-called thrills. As a result, these works can never become real lit
No Romance Recommendations
A collection of books I like, mostly with no romance or only minimal romance, and with interesting plots or settings.

Lifetime Series~
Come, come, come~ See who else is waiting for the book, the one who is still waiting for the book is definitely true love😄 I entered the trap in 2011~Now it is 2021~😂️ Disclaimer: The book is worth reading. In the early years, there were domineering Su Mary everywhere, and Feng Chuan was an alternative flower back then. It is a fresh and refined book that is difficult to read and only focuses on seeking power. Even now, there are very few articles about strong women seeking power without CP, so although it has been discontinued, I will not read the last few. I can just read the title of the king as the end. The last few chapters are the beginning of a new map and it will not affect the overall situation. Worth a look
It's been seven years, is there anyone waiting besides me?
After reading so many historical articles about female protagonists, this is the only one that catches my eye.
Author, baby, count the time, your child is already 14 years old this year. He is in the second grade of junior high school and must learn to let go. Leave the child to her father and come back for an update, okay? ! ! ! I beg you, Sister Liu, I am 18 this year, can I see the finale of this book?
I will keep waiting for Liu Ding, even though he is about to graduate from college 😭
Feng Chuan🈶Some of the things that fascinate me are that she faces up to the plight of women - "A Road to Become an Emperor as a Woman"
1. Face up to a woman's identity and don't borrow a man's skin. For female princes, there are many inconveniences after announcing their female identity - unstable family foundation, lack of credibility, worldly prejudices, rumors about reputation, inappropriate venue, all ceremonies are unprecedented, marriages are coveted, and the risks of having offspring must be borne by her. The author did not use a layer of male skin to avoid these female dilemmas. You must know that describing these risks also requires writing skills. Many authors just lazily dress up as men to the end - "If you don't restore your female identity, there will be no female dilemmas." But this author allows the heroine to disclose it directly and immediately after experiencing the forced men's disguise, and puts all the female dilemmas into the plot. Through the words of the supporting characters, we know that the heroine is facing things that are only for women all the time. Rumors, prejudices, difficulties, joining the army, having fancy dances at banquets, she was the only woman in the room. When making any decision, one must always consider the impact of female status on the incident. When communicating with subordinates, one cannot "resist a long talk" like men can, but the author finally Finally, she solved it perfectly in the end 2. There are many female think tanks around her, not all of them are ♂ Suzuran, who is loyal and has a high IQ, did not stay for half a second after being let down by her beloved, and stood firmly by the heroine's side. Duan Emei, who has a high martial arts value, first scrutinized the heroine and then followed her all the way Cai Yan, who has extremely high literary literacy, spent several chapters describing Wenji's return to the Han Dynasty, and later became Cai Ji's right-hand assistant... 3. The heroine's determination to become emperor is due to the "yellow robe" She showed weakness and dormant in the early stage, but the heroine has always been a sleeping lioness. The layout arranged to pull Yuan Shao off his horse, and she began to rise to the top and enter the ranks of hegemony, and then It was proposed to divide the world and the following princes would naturally become the real rulers. The heroine did not say anything at this time, but the think tanks around her all moved forward with the goal of "the Lord becoming the emperor", and it was inevitable to wear a yellow robe 4. The heroine is "Liu Bang style" Characters, multi-faceted and three-dimensional Cai Jichang has the determination to change the course of history. On the one hand, he still pities the green grass and trees and makes some compromises for the people. She treats the virtuous corporal, but at the same time, she also firmly keeps the think tank in her own hands 5. The unique female protagonist is "pregnant" and gives birth to a daughter Many novels will solve this female dilemma through "adoption", or set up a posthumous child of a brother who died early. But the novel faces this dilemma head-on - if the female protagonist wants to expand her family, she cannot have as many children as a male can by trembling for 10 seconds. A female's direct offspring can only be conceived by herself, and she must bear the burden of "dieting once she gives birth." The risk of "ruining all the achievements in one moment" 6. The author's solid writing skills cast a golden light on Cai Ji I really saw the author's thinking through this character. In the author's first book "The Choice of Destiny", the heroine ascends to the throne and moves towards transcendence. The only thing that remains firm from beginning to end in the second book "The Phoenix Crosses the Broken Han" is the heroine's determination to change the world, even if she personally overthrows the Han Dynasty and changes the entire world. She hopes that she will be at the helm of this period of history The think tanks along the way, her marriage, and her childbirth are all adding weight to her helming this period of history. She is the most heartfelt advocate of all her followers. , She is the only protagonist After mutual trust between the king and his ministers Cai Ji's team has no loopholes At this time, no ending is better than an ending And the perfect ending is in our hearts Because what the author describes from the beginning is "A Female Prince's Road to Becoming Emperor" What she wants to protect is not the "Han Dynasty", but China What she wants to do is to protect the ship. "Changing boards", just like Shang, Zhou and Qin What she hesitated was just how to deal with the Han Dynasty after becoming a queen Her ending must be to lead the world to unification
I have read several novels recommended in the comment section, and I can only say that none of them are comparable to Feng Chuan. They are not logically self-consistent at the very least, yet they can be said to be Feng Chuan's meal replacement... I am speechless, it is a waste of my time!
Are there any good books to read recently? I watched the Empress live broadcast for a few chapters but didn't finish it. Jiang Ji is waiting for the end. The recent update of the Phoenix Alliance is unstable and I plan to keep it up again. I like historical writing. I watched Ya Sao by The Three Idiots of the Thieves, and I also watched Yan Jiu's Rebirth in the Late Years of Kangxi. Do you have any other recommendations? If the phoenix is gone, please let me change the target.
My thoughts on unfinished work, endings and continuations
In fact, enfeoffing the nations is already a good ending in my mind. Because of Cai Jizhen, she has done everything that can "deeply consolidate the roots" to improve productivity: using the Three Longs to restore grassroots control, using salt hoarding to promote agriculture and increase grain reserves, land equalization reforms and people's livelihood, encouraging childbirth to increase the Han population, opening up schools to bridge regional conflicts, and fighting and restraining the barbarians. The rest can only rely on the technological progress brought about by the revival of Mohism and the craftsmen learning mathematics and physics, and this will take time, a long, long time. (Like some infrastructure articles, it is not possible to make steel and iron quickly. That is cheating) In addition to the constraints of productivity, there is another obstacle that hinders the "unification of the world" that many readers dream of: Cai Ji's military strategy can only be said to be average, and he is too sharp and calm. If Cai Ji is a military genius far superior to Li Er, then she can drive directly into the node of Ma Chao's rebellion and use force to overcome cleverness. Even if Cao Wei cannot be defeated in one battle, she can at least make the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu shocked and uneasy. When they see her flag in the future, some people will surrender/abandon the city and flee. Even Cao Cao may die of illness due to the two-front battle (a The psychological pressure that the undefeated military god puts on the opponent is so serious, oh my god, it feels so good) Although cheating, although it is a bit insulting to the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, although countries that rely on the power of one person to win quickly are often short-lived (eg. Murong Chui's Hou Yan), they are unified after all in the end - but Cai Ji is not an invincible military genius, fortunately or unfortunately. In addition, Cai Ji is very sharp, so sharp that she recognized and took advantage of the general trend of local separatism before Cao and Liu. Cai Ji is very calm. Even if it is her lifelong wish to restore a unified empire with unified households, she will not smash everything she has for ambition like Cao Cao conquered Wu and Fu Jian attacked Jin. Correspondingly, there will be no pie like Deng Ai destroying Shu. Moreover, unity is not the goal, stable unity is the goal. This means she needs to wait. When the Han population increases, she no longer has to worry about the Hu people in the north taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to plunder the land southward, and has enough soldiers to fight one or even several wars of annihilation; when the people open up the wasteland, she has enough food to supply hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians; when she selects and trains enough talents who can take over a country immediately after she destroys a country; when the revival of Mohism, and the development of iron-making and other technologies disrupt the farm economy that the wealthy families rely on. Fengchuan can be continued. The author has laid the groundwork and can predict the main plot of the follow-up: teach Cao Wei a lesson to make Cao Cao choose to develop westward - wait - the chaos in the northwest, take the opportunity to pacify Liaodong - a long wait, see-saw, confrontation - wait until Cao Wei has internal chaos, destroy Cao Wei - continue to wait - destroy Shu - wait - go down the river to attack Wu. But this story would be very boring. The timeline jumps forward a few years, and all the parties are struggling to develop and confront each other like turtles, but they just refuse to have a hearty battle! Moreover, Cai Ji did nothing - engaging in internal affairs to stabilize the situation and wait for the other party to have internal chaos was indeed equivalent to doing nothing for the readers, and the author could not write. What's even more unfair is that during the waiting time, those famous ministers and generals died of old age and illness. What the hell, we are going to watch the Three Kingdoms All-Star Competition. Isn't it the protagonist who leads the new generation to fight to death and then bullies the children? Isn't it the same thing to win Liu Chan and win Liu Bei! So "Why Fengchuan was discontinued" is the same as "Why the Three Kingdoms are not well-known after the Three Kingdoms". The romantic heroic era has passed, and no one is fighting a life-or-death main battle. Everyone has become a cautious, vigilant, and striving for a steady and steady political animal - a smart move - but it is difficult to write and not good to read.
Is there any novel similar to "Feng Chuan Han Han", where the heroine is bent on conquering the world and is not moved by emotions.
