A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m
A Reasonable Reader's Picks: The Logic Should Mostly Hold Up, with a Bit of Everything
I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, so my tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books for readers who want something beyond simplistic fiction: fewer tired tropes, fewer saintly characters, and fewer mindless face-slapping scenes. I also like books with relatable protagonists. More precisely, these characters act in ways that feel human. They can be good or bad, but their choices have to make sense. P.S. Please save and like the list so I can see what you enjoy. The list has reached

[Qinghong's Book Recommendations] Please Follow
I’ve been reading on Qidian for quite a while and have recommended quite a few books. I hope my recommendations can help everyone. PS1: Feel free to leave recommendations in the comments. PS2: Please like, bookmark, and send flowers! PS3: Every time I add a book, it gets checked. It’s such a pain; there are so many words I can’t use anymore. I don’t even want to write reviews. I’ve subscribed to every book on this list before recommending it, so I’m backing them with my own actions. One last PS
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.

Sharing Some Books I'm Reading
I have been an avid reader for more than ten years, and fewer and fewer books can hold my attention. I move back and forth among lists from famous authors and friends, finding quite a lot, while also feeling that authors who put real care into their work are often hard to notice. So I created this list to share books I think are pretty good. I hope excellent works can find more readers who will love them.
My Reading List 🔥
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into light entertainment, and I avoid romance and urban fiction, with a few exceptions. I dropped some of these books later on, but they still have something worth reading. I hope you find one that suits you.
Lighthearted Slice of Life 🔥 DND Series 🔥 Hot Hits 🔥 Great Completed Novels
Here are my recommendations: The Church of the Evening Bell: Lovecraftian style The Transformed Supporting Actress: Pure gender-bender fiction Slay the Dragon, Online Game: Unrivaled, Online Game: Across the World, Reborn as a Thief in the World of Online Games Reborn in Japan as a God of Cooking: Food Wars! fanfiction The Dark Blood Age: Post-apocalyptic fiction, insect plague, alien invasion Even a Dried-Up Little Sister Wants to Be a Manga Artist: Gender-bender fiction Reborn in Tokyo with Na
Urban Fiction, Entertainment, and Transmigration: The Best Picks
1. My main focus is urban and entertainment-industry fiction, with some historical, sci-fi, and spacefaring stories, as well as the occasional indescribable masterpiece. Xuanhuan, cultivation, and immortal-demon fiction rarely make this list. That’s just my personal taste. 2. I often browse other people’s lists too. Whenever I see a book I love recommended by lots of readers, I’m happy, but also a little intimidated. I can only work harder to avoid repeating the great books already on everyone e
Some Truly Worthwhile Book Recommendations
I mainly read fantasy and online-game novels, and hardly ever read urban or historical fiction. It's not easy to find a book I can stick with, so I often check out other people's reading lists and get a lot out of them. I'm updating my own list too, in case anyone comes across it and wants to share recommendations. I'm pretty picky about what I read. The flaws I point out are things I've noticed looking back after finishing a book. As the saying goes, a few flaws don't outweigh its merits, so I
Relaxing Novels That Are Easy to Read
I've been reading for ten years. These are the books I still remember, along with others I've read and enjoyed. These books aren't stupid or brainless. They're easy to read without feeling like the author is insulting your intelligence. First, the writing is decent. The plots make sense, and the supporting characters and villains are smart. Most importantly, they're enjoyable and comfortable to read.

Ten Years of Reading: Books I Recommend
I've been hooked on novels since elementary school, and now I'm about to graduate from college. I made this reading list to look back on my youth. My tastes: I favor historical fiction, infrastructure-building, farming, entertainment, and games.
Top-Tier Cultivation Fantasy with Solid Logic and Smart Characters
❤️ I favor satisfying stories with strong plots and clever strategy, and avoid shallow, fast-food novice fiction with flimsy logic. ❤️ My only screening criterion is the quality of the writing. I don't care about an author's reputation, and I include quality works from all kinds of genres. ❤️ The books near the top are ones I'm currently following. I also occasionally recommend promising new authors as a favor. ❤️ Every book has been selected after extensive reading. No padded, slapdash stori

The Abandoned and Unfinished Novel Log
I can't find The Tycoon of Hong Kong. Is it on my list? Can anyone recommend online games set during the Three Kingdoms period, or stories about transmigration or rebirth? I'm looking for stories without cheat abilities. I've noticed that unless a book is complete, there's a one-in-four chance it gets abandoned after I add it to this list. Seriously, several promising new novels have already been dropped. Collecting excellent works and novels with disappointing endings, while recommending the on

It suddenly occurred to me, and I feel so resentful. It's been ten years, from 2012 until now. Damn it!!!
I just want to ask, who else?!
Brothers, let's build an incense-burning pavilion here and see how many incense sticks we need to burn to get another chapter!
Update already, finish the book and bring it to a close. If you're not going to update it, just cut it off completely and make a clean break!

Masterpieces and False Masterpieces
I have very high standards for masterpieces, and The Great Sage's Tale is the closest I come to that. Lord of Mysteries is too complex and prone to shipping, requiring a second reading to fully grasp the plot (it's too heavily influenced by fandom, but that's also why it's the only one to break through that barrier). Dawn of the Sword is too slow-paced.
Don't ask for too much, and don't put too much pressure on Dream. If you genuinely like it, just support it. I definitely can't update every day. But Shuo Meng said this will be resolved, so let's trust him; there will definitely be an explanation. Don't worry if there's been no update for a day or two. Shuo Meng isn't working full-time right now, and he doesn't have any drafts saved up. Let's all support him! Let Shuo Meng fulfill our dreams!!
[Comment] The Great Sage's Biography
I stumbled upon this book in 2012 and read all the chapters in one go. I remember it was around 600,000 or 800,000 words at the time. Four years have passed, and looking back, I feel I really let this masterpiece down, so I've decided to subscribe to all of them. I sincerely hope the author will pick up their morals and finish the book.
[Comment] Thoughts
The author of "The Great Sage's Tale" gave the entire novel eight "parts" of the human heart: ox, tiger, tortoise, phoenix, ape, unicorn, dragon, and snake. These represent obsession, rage, wisdom, nobility, stubbornness, compassion, and (I'm sorry, I didn't really see the spirit of the dragon and snake; is it arrogance and madness?).
I suddenly couldn't sleep last night, and without realizing it, I started thinking about *The Great Sage's Tale*. I'm sure many of you have read it multiple times. Share your most memorable lines from *The Great Sage's Tale*! (I'll reply to every comment!)
