Books I've Read
Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.
Reading List No. 3: Urban Fiction
This is the third one... I just saw that there's another categorized book-list event, and since I can make an urban fiction category, I went ahead and created one. Urban fiction has the most quality picks, after all. [Here are my other three lists: Main list: long reviews focused on new sprouts, with over 20,000 followers and 35,000 without comments. You're welcome to follow! Fantasy list: mainly ongoing fantasy stories Sci-fi list: "Book List No. 4: Sci-Fi" Anime-related list: "Book List N
Wonderful Novels

A Seasoned Reader's Picky Taste, After Nine Years or More
I don't write detailed reviews or descriptions for the books on this list. All I have to offer is my overall impression of each book and its author. It's just a bit of self-indulgence on my part. The list includes famous and obscure books, old and popular ones, and even some that are no longer available on Qidian. Only books with strong writing and plot make it onto this list.

These are all niche Japanese-style books!
Books I Think Are Good, with Smart Characters and Sound Logic
It's hard to find good books these days. Here are some that aren't dumbed down.
The Gallant Heroes: A Lingering Regret
Bold, cautious, upright, slick, gentle, mad, wise, foolish: all kinds of powerful people, but in the end, mostly kindhearted. A true man walks through the world with a clear conscience. How could he scrabble for profit or survival, stooping to any means necessary?

A Bookshelf Shaped by Time
There are no categories or special themes here. The only criterion is whether a book is good. The stories here are highly readable, with clear logic, consistent worldbuilding, and lucid prose that makes for a smooth read. There are plenty of forgotten gems here. Open one up, and you'll find yourself smiling in recognition. Someday, these books may become unavailable and disappear into the dust of history. Until then, let's remember them for a while.

I'll wait and see.
You stood me up in 2014, reappeared for a few days in 2015, and finally showed up in 2017. I'm very cultured and patient; I'll wait and see if you're still a zombie. You had surgery? What's wrong? Can you write? Can you give me a straight answer?

Wow, that's awesome! 141517 Years ago, and now it's been 19 years.
The protagonist does things that men do, but the author does things that eunuchs do—I'm impressed.

The promise of speeding up the project has resulted in another unfinished series...
The book was quite engaging in its early stages, vividly portraying a male protagonist who built his empire from scratch in a foreign land, with many of his methods still impressive even today. However, after the protagonist's initial success, things became increasingly strange, and the writing style became increasingly unnatural.
When I first read it, there were no Qidian accounts, and now I'm a VIP member and it still hasn't been updated! Why did I even keep this book on my bookshelf?!
The author has already disappeared under another alias.
