[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels
Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden

History Novels Especially Loved by Tebie Bai
I haven't written a book in ten years, but the recommendation lists I've posted across various media have been very popular. I'm sharing one here on Qidian as well. No hidden agenda, just fair reviews.
Readers’ Corner: Agree to Disagree
Different tastes at different times, but the classics stay forever.
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 Bit of Everything
The clever words flowing between the lines of a good book, the fragrance of the pages washing away worldly cares and refining the spirit: through books, we rise above ourselves and transcend the ordinary.
Personal Recommendations
I've read a lot of novels, and sometimes friends ask me to recommend a few. I think and think, then realize I've forgotten so many of the books I read before. When someone mentions a protagonist's name, I vaguely remember the story, but when they ask for the title, I'm completely stumped. So I made this little list of books I've enjoyed, both ones I remember from before and new ones I come across. Then when friends ask me for recommendations, I can just share the list. Easy and convenient.
Infinite Worlds, History, and Sci-Fi
A collection of good books that can help readers in a slump discover hidden gems. There's no limit on genre, and every book is one I've read and enjoyed. Some readers may love them, while others may not. If you like them, feel free to follow the list. If not, please don't flame me.
Shared Discussion Zone
I created this list to share good books and discuss the ones everyone thinks are worth reading. All fellow readers are welcome to join the discussion.

Green-Haired Rabbit
Be a laid-back reader: savor good books, quietly show my support for authors I like, and drop the ones I don't. Under the sunshine, raindrops patter, the wind howls, and snow piles up layer by layer. Leaning by the windowsill with a cup of tea, coffee, or juice, I've had the habit of reading after lunch for a long time now. I've dropped countless books, but some I've read again and again, and they taste different each time. I read quietly and tip quietly, supporting the authors I like with my ac
Books I've Finished Over the Years
Some good, some bad, all finished, both on and off the site. More than ten years have flown by. I'll save them all while I can still remember them.
A Must-Read Collection
Reading broadens my knowledge. Thanks to books, I know of the resourceful Zhuge Liang and the bold, courageous Wu Song... Books have shown me that the world is full of stories and all kinds of people.
Hyjjxvh's Reading List
Everyone's journey through life is like a book, sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes ordinary, each with its own charm. Along life's journey, books are our companions. They guide people out of confusion and into brilliance. Those who read widely are often rich in knowledge and can gather the strengths of many schools within themselves. Encouraging people to read will benefit them throughout their lives.
My Personal Collection
Reading broadens the mind and opens the heart; reading gives us far-reaching vision and lofty ambitions; reading expands our knowledge and makes our conversation exceptional; reading brings peace and joy, like basking in a spring breeze. Reading gives our thoughts wings, makes our feelings blossom, and keeps our minds active, sharp, and wise; reading cultivates our character and lets our dreams take flight.
Sharing the Joy Is Better Than Enjoying It Alone
Mountains and rivers are the books of the earth, so please take the time to understand them; books are the mountains and rivers on your desk, so please enjoy them to your heart's content. On World Book Day, may you appreciate more of nature's beauty and enjoy more of the pleasure of reading.
Personal Reading List
A life without books is like a world without sunlight; a mind without books is like a bird without wings.
A Young Swordsman Roams the World
Living with books means you’ll never sigh.

The protagonist of this book is the most morally reprehensible character I've ever read in any time-travel novel. Although he's a time traveler, he doesn't possess any of the typical traits of one. Instead, he acts like an ancient person, climbing to power by stepping on the corpses of others. He has absolutely no morals or sentiments. While other protagonists strive for officialdom and save the country, Li You is busy getting promoted, making money, and getting married—he's having a blast.
A TV series titled "Struggle in the New Ming Dynasty" has been produced, and the title is "I Am Li You".
After reading dozens of chapters, I can say the author's writing is really good, but why is he so obsessed with brothels?
Is this from the original novel, which is said to be from the story of the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King?
I was drawn in by the drama; the novel is much more interesting than the drama. It's just that the ending really caught me off guard. I was really getting into it when suddenly I saw "The End." I thought I was seeing things, but then, it really did end there… Tsk, I'm still not satisfied. When will the author write the second part?
The TV series is out today. It's a long story; Li You has been transformed into the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King.
That was really enjoyable to watch.
The protagonist is not a hypocrite and never hides his pursuit of beauty. Even though it's an 11-year-old book, it's still a top-notch, enjoyable read today. The male protagonist's wives and concubines are as follows: First wife, daughter of Inspector Liu of Xujiang, virgin.
Is this where I watch "I Am Li You"?
I came here because I liked the author's writing style after reading "Crooked Mouth Li You." Actually, I haven't read "Struggle in a New Dynasty," really. I wonder where I can find the original novel.
Don't ask about the male lead's character. If you dislike scumbags or casual sex, don't watch this—it'll poison your mind!
The author of this book has a better grasp of the plot of "The Great Ming Dynasty Officials," although some parts of the book still feel a bit forced.
