Since discovering online fiction in 2011, I’ve read more than a handful of great books, so I’ve put together this list to share with fellow readers.

Here are some books I like. I'll update the list from time to time. By the way, the authors of other lists are so diligent. I'm impressed. If you like this list, feel free to follow it. Thanks!
Sixteen Years of Recommending Only the Best
I've read countless books. Once, I chased quantity and quick thrills, reading everything from famous authors to newcomers. But the true masters gradually disappeared, and bland books became endless. Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,

Some Truly Worthwhile Book Recommendations
I mainly read fantasy and online-game novels, and hardly ever read urban or historical fiction. It's not easy to find a book I can stick with, so I often check out other people's reading lists and get a lot out of them. I'm updating my own list too, in case anyone comes across it and wants to share recommendations. I'm pretty picky about what I read. The flaws I point out are things I've noticed looking back after finishing a book. As the saying goes, a few flaws don't outweigh its merits, so I

I Have a Pot of Fine Wine and a Tale to Tell, Would You Care to Listen?
The bright moon startles magpies from the branches; cicadas sing in the midnight breeze. The night sky over the stone steps is cool as water; I lie and watch the stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky; I sleep troubled beside the river maples and fishing lights. Autumn candlelight chills the painted screen; a light silk fan swats at fireflies. Perhaps I’m not good at telling stories, but I’m certainly good at chatting. I browse the forums and turn throug
Read in One Sitting
I love reading. I like books with openings that impress me instead of feeling stale, middles that keep me hooked instead of following the same old formula, and endings that hold together and leave me thinking. At its heart, a novel is a story. If the beginning rambles, makes no sense, has characters acting like idiots, leans too heavily on clichés, or is drowning in chuunibyou, chances are the rest won't be any better. A story doesn't have to follow the rules of reality. It can let its imaginati

I Love Cultivation and Xuanhuan. Star Ratings for Books I've Read Carefully.
March 2023. I’m fed up with Qidian and have barely been reading lately. So many books near the top of the monthly ticket rankings are disappointing! I review everything I read carefully to help you avoid repeatedly getting burned. The more stars, the better. I’ve read so many books that my standards are high, so I’ve dropped a lot of them. These are my honest opinions, and I can be pretty harsh, so please bear with me. Very few books catch my eye. (I keep up with them as they update, so my revie

Hunan Warlord's Xianxia Library (Only Recommending Books I've Read)
I've been reading web novels for twenty years, and my favorite genres are xianxia, fantasy, urban fiction, and historical fiction. Lately I've mostly been reading xianxia, so I'll start with a list of those and add other genres later. I hope we have similar tastes. If this list helps you find even a couple of xianxia novels you'll enjoy among the countless choices, I'll be delighted.
A Picky Curator: I Usually Only Favorite What I've Read, Please Support Official Releases
(I’ve run out of books to read. Any recommendations? I’ve been looking into fanfiction lately, especially stories that stay true to the original characterization while offering their own interpretation of the source material.) I don’t care who the author is, as long as the writing is good. These are all books I’ve read or am currently following. I generally like dark stories, System stories, and, to a lesser extent, cultivation and fanfiction. My tastes are pretty broad. When recommending books,

I've finished watching Flying Apsaras, and I have a few things I just need to say.
For me, the novel *Flying Apsaras* was already halfway through when Miao Yi bestowed Xue Linglong upon Xu Tangran. How did Qi Xiuhong die? She was forced into some kind of society by a certain lord and ultimately died. I remember the author saying that killing off the protagonist's woman was a risk, but to me, giving away a woman who had feelings for the protagonist to another man was very…
[Comment] The role of Xiahou Tuo
He has wisely retired from the limelight, living in seclusion behind the scenes. The old man is now the true pillar behind the Xiahou family. It's clear he has at least tens of thousands of years left to live; those tens of thousands of years will be enough for him to see some people and some things clearly. Two speculations can be made:
After finishing *Daojun*, trusting its reputation, I went back to *Feitian* and subscribed to the entire series, only to regret it terribly. I practically skipped chapters through the latter half of *Feitian*, feeling nauseous every time. I will never touch any of Yue Qianchou's books again.
[Comment] Is the upgrade schedule appropriate?
Xiahou Tuo, having served three generations of overlords, only lived to be around 500,000 years old before dying of old age. How old is the Azure Lord and Buddha Lord now? Since the Azure Lord fought against Nanbo alongside his master, and the Azure Lord, Buddha Lord, and White Lord's master was of the same generation as Nanbo, and the Azure Lord, Buddha Lord, White Lord, and Six Paths Child…
Qianchou, this book has received mixed reviews. I don't know why they criticize it, nor do I know why they look down on it. But for me, ever since I read "Flying to the Sky," there has never been another novel that I would seriously read. I've been searching for novels similar to Flying Apsaras, but they've all fallen short of my expectations. Flying Apsaras, a timeless masterpiece. I've watched it three times, and countless times I've rewatched it to savor the experience.
The protagonist became utterly disgusting later on. The author wanted to write something profound and mysterious, but there was no need to degrade him like this! Forget the harem aspect, his character is just scum. The more I read, the less I felt anything for him!
Honestly, looking across Qidian, there are very few authors who can compare to Lao Yue. Who can? After "Idle Man," there will be no more urban fiction; after "Flying Apsaras," there will be no more passionate stories; after "Daojun," there will be no more political intrigue.
"Flying Apsaras" is probably Fatty's strongest work. What garbage did Daojun (his predecessor) write? And what about the current "Half-Immortal"? Has someone else written it?
The book was well-written in the beginning, but its quality declined later on. The overall plot became poorly managed, and the details were disappointing. After finishing it, the antagonists seemed more fleshed out than the protagonist, who was cold-blooded and ruthless.
I watched until Xue Linglong was given to Xu Tangran and then the story ended. I only briefly glanced at the ending, and what I didn't understand most was why Lao Bai insisted on Miao Daren's good character when accepting him as a disciple. Was he implying that even the most upright person could be corrupted by power? That's too tragic.
