No genre restrictions. I've personally read all of these, and they're classics worth keeping! (I have a few requirements for books: the author should be between 30 and 50, otherwise they may lack life experience and their writing might not have much depth or substance. A book should teach you something, at least. The story should be compelling, with no major plot or logic holes. The writing should be good, not overly simplistic. Some books are so forgettable that you can't even remember the prot

Qidian Gold-Rated Novels
I've been reading web novels for fifteen years. My recommendations are guaranteed to be good.
A Trans Reader’s Journey Through Qidian
(Could you make your review standards clear and consistent? The rules have been unchanged for ages, so how did this suddenly become too vulgar to pass review?) I'm a female bookworm who got into web novels through male-oriented fiction. Suddenly felt like keeping a record of all the years I've spent reading on Qidian. In the old days (?) I was obsessed with historical novels aimed at men. I was the kind of girl who could happily read about a male protagonist's harem. Then, as I got older, my a
A Complete Collection of Great Novels
I made this list to recommend some books, and I hope you’ll enjoy them. Good books have been getting harder and harder to find lately. I spend every day trying out books, and every day they leave me utterly poisoned. To save myself from wasting time, I put together this list of books I’ve found decent and recommend them to other readers. If the books here suit your taste, please leave a comment with any other good ones you know that aren’t on the list, so we can share recommendations.
A Collection of Good Books
A big batch of great reads! Here are some good books across all sorts of genres for everyone. I’ve personally tried them all, so you can read with confidence. Of course, if the genres or styles I recommend aren’t for you, just skip them. No need to complain. That’s all.
Recommendations for All Kinds of Great Books
How should I write this? Hmm, recommending good books, good-book recommendations. There are all kinds of genres here, and I've tested them all for poison, so feel free to read them. If you happen to get poisoned, it only means that particular genre isn't for you. Try another category. If you still get poisoned, then this list probably isn't for you. That's all.

Learning from History
Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of becoming a great hero, returning to the past to change the world and make my name immortal. I’m sure lots of people have felt the same way. Alternate-history novels satisfy this desire, which is why transmigration stories have become so popular. If history could happen again, what would you choose? When faced with the sweeping tide of history, every change you make will alter its course. This list will collect and update historical novels from time to t

Yue Guan's character development is superb; the female lead and supporting characters are all distinctive and vivid. Those who are calling for harem novels should take a good look at the characters Yue Guan has created before making their claims. Also, it's quite normal for historical novels to have multiple wives and concubines. Those who oppose harem novels should at least be realistic.
Yue Guan's books are excellent: *The Night Walker in Brocade Robes*, *Step by Step Lotus*, *A Carefree Journey*, *The Night Emperor*, *Drunken Pillow on the Rivers and Mountains*, and *Return to the Ming Dynasty* are all good. The current historical system novels are truly laughable—time-traveling to history with a system cheat code, it's insane.
Post-viewing thoughts
To my shame, I finished reading "The Night Watchman" a long time ago, but I recently picked it up and read it several more times before writing this review. Personally, I think the male protagonist is one of the most successfully portrayed gamblers on Qidian's historical fiction section.
My personal opinion on this book: While it doesn't quite reach the heights of "Return to the Ming Dynasty," I believe this book is better written. First, in many major events, Yang Xu could only make limited changes because he was merely a duke, a subject, unlike Yang Ling, who ultimately became practically a regent.
Who on earth is afraid?!
Why are there still so many haters on Yue Guan even after he left Qidian a few years ago? What are they afraid of? 😅
I couldn't stand it anymore. The writing is quite good, and the characters are well-developed, but in order to create a thrilling and exciting experience, and to forcibly bring the storylines together, some parts are too awkward and idiotic, and some parts are simply illogical. The forced attempt to maintain the story's plausibility is too toxic. In summary, this is suitable for beginners; seasoned readers might find it unreadable.
Ming Dynasty shoes didn't seem to have shoelaces! (It's already out in chapter 54.)
This book is definitely a blowout compared to the current crop of trashy novels, except for some poorly handled details. Zhu Yuanzhang dies too quickly, and the lighthearted plot at the beginning is almost entirely gone later on. The pacing is too fast – one event after another, the next is immediately introduced.
It's amazing that books from several years or even more than a decade ago are being dug up and criticized now, and there are even a bunch of people making trouble for history departments by saying they don't allow harems. It's not just this book; I looked through many old books and found that many are in the same situation.
Nonsense! These two people traveling on business by long-distance bus, or even a regular bus? Dude, this is the Ming Dynasty!
