Quality Over Quantity

A list by a ten-year veteran reader. Quality over quantity. My reviews reflect my personal impressions, and I generally avoid harem novels, except for one or two outstanding ones. I may have missed plenty of other gems, but I read for enjoyment and want to share that same outlook.

Handma's Reading List

Please follow and save this list! ... Many of these books are completed, because waiting for updates is painful. Qidian books are usually great early on, then tend to go off the rails later. Our motto: don’t waste your money! (Though I can’t help it either.) ... The biggest problem with mainstream genre fiction is that it can’t write romance. I haven’t seen a book on Qidian that gives its heroine real depth. Could Qidian start a writing workshop? Have the site’s editors teach the classes: theory

Books You Can't Put Down

Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.

My Home Library

What can ease your worries? A reading drought. What can ease that drought? Reading. I personally prefer physical books, and most of my recommendations have print editions. They're all worth a read. There are too many books, so I've put fantasy novels on a separate list.

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

A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)

I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t

Mental Stockpile

One good book can make you forget sleep, hunger, video games, and dating. Stack up enough good books, and you won’t need to sleep at night. There are always classic books you’ll read from cover to cover more than once, and stories and characters worth revisiting and savoring. Once time has settled the clamor of the world, these books will make your reading life feel wonderfully peaceful and fulfilling.

🌸💙👑Books I've Fully Read and Loved👑💙🌸

Every book on this list is from my fully paid collection and personal shelf. I've read each one at least once, and genuinely love them. I'm sharing them with fellow readers, and keeping a record of what I've read for myself. Books must meet these standards to make the list: first, the writing has to be good; then, the logic must be rigorous; and the values should be sound. Most importantly, the story must be compelling enough that I can return to it years later when I'm out of books to read. Onl
