Recommended by a Bookworm of Ten Years: Classics Worth Reading
The books on this list are ones I've read over the past two years. I thought they were great, so I'm sharing them. If you enjoy similar books, feel free to share your recommendations too. I love all of Cimiao's books. I love all of Zhizhi's books. As for the others, I only like a few of their books.
Marvelous Ancient-Style Works to Enjoy Together
The basic principles for works on this list are: 1. They should be logical, have protagonists with sound values, and be well written. 2. They should leave you wanting to read them again.
Classic Strong Female Lead, Single Female Protagonist, or No Female Protagonist Novels
Novels without brainless characters, lovestruck fools, saintly do-gooders, or womanizing protagonists, and with reasonably sound values. (I personally don't like recommending books indiscriminately, and I'm unimpressed by many so-called popular titles. Most books on this list are ones I've read myself, at least in part, and have something worthwhile in their writing or plot.)
Great Books I've Read Over the Years
Great books of all genres, with beautiful prose, airtight logic, and powerful protagonists
A Rabbit's Reading Shelf
I enjoy all kinds of stories, so as an omnivorous rabbit, I thought I'd share some with everyone.
Mine
I looked through my bookshelf and found so many books, but I haven’t finished many. I have no staying power, and I’ve dropped plenty of books partway through. These are the stories I’ve stuck with and finished, or am still following.

Why did the author stop writing? I really love Mo Shiba's writing style.
The writing and story are both good, but the plot is rather chaotic and repetitive.
Excellent, Xiao Meng's work is a stroke of genius.
A wonderful article; you won't be able to put it down! The ending was rushed, which was a pity.
Mercenaries possess strong individual combat skills, but their military command abilities are not necessarily superior.
The murderous intent was too strong; the ending was not good, too cruel.
This is a very good book; I'm starting my third reading of it.
I love this writing style! I want to read it again!
I read this book in 2025, and another one, "The Beggar Queen," in 2026. I really liked the author's writing style, but it's a pity they retired from the literary scene. I probably won't see the ending of "The Beggar Queen." A true hidden gem, sigh. Could the author suddenly update one day and surprise me? 😐
I feel like the ending fell apart. Meng Feifan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I guess even the author didn't know how to wrap it up.
