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.

Carefully tending a few promising seedlings 🐾 🎯 This list is mainly for male-audience novels, mostly without heroines. I'll note when the protagonist has a love interest.
Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.

I Might Be a Fake Girl: A Girl's Picks from Male-Oriented Xianxia
Maybe I really am a fake girl, part two is here This time, I am mainly recommending xianxia works. 😂😂😂😂 The first web novel I ever read was the xianxia work Zhu Xian. Back then, as a girl still full of youthful romantic feelings, I cried my eyes out reading it😭😭😭😭😭😭 That is why I have a particular fondness for xianxia works. Boys with swords long as dragons, fairies in robes whiter than snow, and enchanting demonesses all linger in my dreams. So I specially selected the xianxia works I enjoy rea
Novels Without Heroines or Romance
All the books on this list have no female lead and no romance pairing. Your mileage may vary. I'll remove ongoing novels if they introduce romance.
Novels I Like with No Female Lead or Just One
I'll note whether a book has no female lead or a single female lead, along with any major dealbreakers. I removed Late Ming and The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor because they kept getting flagged for supposedly prohibited words and wouldn't pass review. Neither is strictly a no-female-lead story, though. The Ming Dynasty's Benefactor is good and basically has no female lead; I really like it. Both male leads in Late Ming end up with more than one woman, so skip it if that's a dealbreaker. I also rec

#TryTheFirstTenChapters# This tag marks new books whose first ten chapters I tried and thought were pretty good. I’ll check out the books recommended in the comments. If I don’t add one, it’s because I don’t want to recommend it. I won’t reply to every comment.
Books I Like
I can finally make my own reading list! Let me be excited for a few days, haha. I like fantasy and cultivation stories with wildly imaginative premises. I mostly read books with either a female-only or male-only protagonist. I’m very particular about looks, and I absolutely won’t read a book if the protagonist is ugly. I’m extremely picky, and even the slightest thing that bothers me will make me drop a story. This list is mainly for personal use. Not every book here is good; most are just proof
No Feel-Good Power Trips, Just Fun and Thought-Provoking Stories
Added a new option: “If I could recommend only five books” The five books that have stuck with me most are Super-Dimensional Wizard, Throne of Magical Arcana, The Primitive Wars, The Azeroth Adventure Guide, and Journey to Klimasha. Of course, Cultivation Chat Group and Lord of the Mysteries are classics too, but those two know far too much, so I won't recommend them. There's also A Scholarly Gathering with My Lich Colleagues, which I've been reading lately. The author hasn't written enough yet
The Ancient Road to Lanzhou, a Lean Horse in the West Wind. A Thousand Scriptures, Seeking Immortal Traces
This is Lanzhou Gudao's list of xianxia novels, carefully selected recommendations from the genre 😙😙😙 I'm an older reader with extremely particular tastes, and I like works with some depth. Beginners, this list probably isn't for you. 🌸🌸🌸 Follow now, and you'll never run out of books to read.

Saving These for Later
Notes
Some Handsome Male Leads, Please
Selection criteria: Good writing, solid logic, and a handsome male lead. The author doesn't need to force anything, but the atmosphere should hit my radar. I hope it hits yours too, XD. No CP or one female lead are both fine. I can enjoy multiple female leads if the plot is compelling enough, but I'll flag those recommendations in advance. Desperately looking for fellow readers to recommend books. This poor book-starved soul is about to starve!

Great Books That Will Surprise You! Completed and Ongoing
I’ve been reading on Qidian for over ten years. I read all kinds of genres and enjoy a wide variety of books, but when I sum it up, they all have writing styles that make me want to keep reading comfortably. Some older completed books are especially worth revisiting, so I’m sharing them with fellow readers. Everyone is welcome to recommend books and help enrich my bookshelf~ Also, this list is about the books, not the authors, because I’ve always believed that a writer may not produce a classic
So Good, You’ll Want to Read It Again
I recommend books I personally like and think are well written. Most of the books on this list are ones I’ve read at least twice (the second time, I skimmed through them). There are some I love so much that I reread certain scenes over and over. I don’t blindly follow big-name authors. I only recommend what I like. The male leads I like are decisive and unstoppable. No one can stand in their way, and they won’t stop for anyone. They shouldn’t go weak in the knees at the sight of a woman or grov

It's September 2018. Although the show is unfinished, in my heart it remains brilliant and I will always love Cheng Jun! Whether it's the arrogance of youth before rebirth, or the calmness and strategizing after rebirth, I love them all!
The whole story is full of pretense, either pretending to be a pig or trying to be mysterious, sometimes that thing, sometimes that thing, sometimes that person, sometimes testing this, sometimes testing that, but in any case, it is never explained clearly. It doesn't feel like cultivating immortality, but more like suspense. Because the protagonist's actions don't feel fairy-like. This is also the flaw of countless rebirth stories. The biggest opportunity is rebirth, but instead they risk their lives to fight for something that is not available. Since they have stood on top of the world, they do not practice in seclusion, but wander around and seek death everywhere. Let's just talk about the first few chapters. Someone was pulling him out of the underwater cultivation. If he met someone like me, he would dig it out and throw it into the mountains without any treasure. I'm afraid it would be eaten by wild beasts. Are you talking about an extraordinary world where there are no flesh-eating fish in the water? You're so lucky after traveling so far?
Let's take a look today. I've been waiting for the author's new book, but it seems I can't wait any longer. Has another good author closed the book?
Can this still identify relatives? Is the Holy Mother like this?
His biological father built the foundation, and the protagonist is from a low-level opera singer's background. He is so powerful and can't let the protagonist wander around the world even if he searches for it a little bit? For the protagonist of this kind of family to recognize them and treat them as their own parents is really quite a saint.
There are so many people holding up such a useless book. It goes round and round without telling where the main plot is, and there are only three or four minor characters surrounded by numbers. The layout is so small that it looks awkward, and it feels like a frog in the well after being reborn.
Don't leave after school, we'll see you on the rooftop! 😏
I really didn't expect that there were novels of this level in 2012. In 2012, all Tai Xiao read was "Fighting Beyond the Sky". Now, I only recommend novels that can make money in recent years. It's hard to find.
The suspense at the beginning is quite stunning, but the writing style is immature and the setting preparation is inherently insufficient. It even deviates from the outline in the middle, giving people a sense of lack of logic and discontinuous writing. I can only say it's a pity
Last year, I posted it on the rooftop four times, and I just thought I'd comment on it this year. I feel that the pace of Li Ren has always been slow-burning (although I have only read two books), the world view does not slowly unfold until the middle stage, and some settings are not systematically explained but interspersed in a few words. It is easy to ignore the past, leading to mixed reviews. However, there is no need to say that it is useless and uses the author's gender to insinuate.
It's boring to read, it's a pity to throw away, and it will just eat ashes on the bookshelf.
