I won't write many recommendations, but I promise they're all quality reads. I update this list slowly, since I have to find books I can actually stick with first (= ̄ω ̄=) No need to send flowers, it's a waste of money.
My Backup Shelf for When I Have Nothing to Read
A collection of books I've read. I haven't finished most of them, so I'll come back to them when I'm out of things to read. This list is based purely on my personal reading interests. If it isn't your style, just find another list. Why keep leaving negative ratings? If you don't like the books here, you can simply unfollow. I've read at least thirty chapters of every book on the list.
So Good They Leave You Speechless
Rated from 1 to 10. I've been a bookworm for over ten years, and my ratings are very subjective. So far, I haven't given any book above a 7. (I often wonder why I even rate on a scale of 1 to 10.) A 7 is already really high. I checked, and nearly half the books have been abandoned.
No Female Leads: Xianxia, Wuxia, and Online Games with Smart Characters and Underdog Comebacks
I don’t like transmigration, naive characters, or female leads. I’ve been reading for over ten years and only read the best, with great plots. I like fresh ideas and characters who act weak while hiding their strength.
Dregs Floating on the Sea
Books I think are good. Their flaws don't outweigh their strengths.
Interesting, Smart Reads for Passing the Time: Neither Pretentious nor Dumbed Down
1. At least decent fare, with prose that's readable. 2. The premise or plot should be interesting. No need to bother with mediocre works. I'm no literary intellectual, but I do have some standards for prose. I was pickier about what I read early on. These days I'm tired from work and often just want something light, but I can't stand mindless power-ups and endless hookups. This list is based on those standards. I think these books are pretty good, and ideally they have something special. I've
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
A Selective Reading List of Excellent and Decent Xianxia
Every book on this list has at least one clear strength that makes it worth reading. P.S. I favor books with fresh writing styles or exceptional skill in at least one area. Traditional wish-fulfillment stories and books with stale writing are almost nonexistent here. I don't give scores or label everything as either “Good Herb” or “Immortal Herb,” because everyone has different tastes, and drawing distinctions too finely can start arguments. That said, the standards for making this list are pret
Books I Enjoyed
A jumble of all sorts of genres, just keeping a record.
I Love Reading
If you’re in a reading slump or a picky old hand at web novels, give this list a try. I mainly recommend ongoing novels, along with completed classics and masterpieces.

A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So
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
No More Idiot Plots: Stories with Tight, Well-Crafted Plots
A breath of fresh air amid all the brain-dead wish fulfillment, and a godsend for anyone with OCD. When I first started reading web novels, I quite liked simple, fluffy stories. Now, whenever I see the titles of books by those so-called great authors, I feel like throwing up my last meal. The books on this list have excellent prose and logic, at least on par with the average print novel (judging by books published before 2010). Most are titles I've accumulated over more than ten years of readi

Novels on Qidian that suit my personal taste.
Every Book Is a Gem!

A Reading List for a 12-Year Veteran Reader: Solid Picks and Better
I've been reading for twelve years, from beginner-friendly web novels to ones aimed at veteran readers. I've gotten pickier over time, and I hope this list can help others discover books they'll enjoy.
A Dust-Covered Heart
👍 means the star rating, with five stars as the maximum. I rate books based on my own impressions. Anything that gets three and a half stars or more, 👍👍👍➕, has something special and is worth a read. Also, feel-good wish-fulfillment novels get at most four stars. That's just a rule of mine. Most are classic web novels and feel-good wish-fulfillment stories. My reviews aren't really reading guides, but more like thoughts and summaries after finishing a book. I suppose only people who've read them
Baishi's Little Book Nook |_・)
Mainly recommending stories with no female lead or just one female lead, based on my personal taste. New and old books alike: the only criterion is that they're good. Supernatural horror, laid-back slice of life, mind-bending mysteries, comedy: I'll read anything.
I Think These Are Great Reads
This list is made up of books I personally enjoy. They span a wide range of styles and genres, and are quality reads in many respects. Some may not have achieved great popularity, but their plots, characters, and worldbuilding are impeccable. If you like shallow, simplistic stories, this list probably isn't for you. It's best suited to seasoned readers. Taste is subjective, so please don't attack anyone if you dislike a book. If you know a good one, feel free to recommend it to me. But please do
Recommended by a Veteran Reader, Not for Beginners!
Recommended classics. I started reading novels at fifteen, and I'm forty-two this year, so that's nearly twenty-four years! From the Four Great Classical Novels to Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Rui'an, from bookstores to web fiction... Reading is not just a pleasure; it also takes thought. Online novels are becoming increasingly childish and vulgar, and there are fewer and fewer classics... There are more and more garbage System stories!

[Comment] Abandon the shackles of values - Strange People and Strange Books
After reading more than 300 chapters, I have quite a few thoughts. Neither good nor evil is inherent, but is a moral code that is intentionally drawn up to maintain the integrity and stability of the social structure. That is, morals and laws differ depending on their starting point. Either individual interests are the main focus, or structural stability is the main focus. But its ultimate goal is to maintain the stability of social operating rules. Most low-level struggles are about fighting for the basic right to survive, while higher-level struggles are about fighting for social surplus value and the right to survive of others. Although I don't know whether the author meant these principles through this book, it is indeed rare to be able to strip away all concepts of good and evil and depict the established good and evil thoughts in the world like this. Understanding is difficult, writing is even harder, and being reckless is even harder. The parts I have read so far can already be called strange people and strange books.
After reading Chapter 439, I finally couldn't stand it anymore. It is undeniable that the first volume is really well written. It would be perfect if it could end when the protagonist jumps off the cliff. After the battle for hegemony began in the second volume, the plot began to get out of control. Except for the unintentional act of killing the Dapeng, Shangguan Ru did everything for the sake of the protagonist. He even betrayed the entire family in order to save the protagonist and was devoted to him from the beginning to the end. However, the author insisted on insisting on Dapeng's death (actually the Dapeng had already discovered the danger in advance at that time, and it was because the protagonist refused to let go, which eventually led to tragedy) as an excuse to distance himself from Shangguan Ru. Then there is He Nu, the only person trusted by the protagonist, who betrayed the protagonist and wanted to kill him. However, in the second volume, she was able to return to the protagonist unharmed and gained trust again. I can still tolerate all this, after all, the halo of the first volume is there. What I really can't bear is that the protagonist is already the king of a force, but his queen is coveted by his subordinates. He doesn't even care about one, but he wants two at the same time. Not only did the protagonist not punish them, but he went all out to help them get married, and even helped them elope. He didn't care what his most loyal Daxueshan warriors would think after this was leaked, and whether they would help him conquer all directions. Maybe the author will say that I will not let this matter leak, but as a reader, it is really difficult to accept this plot of giving away a daughter. From the moment the protagonist became the Dragon King until the point where I gave up the book, I couldn't see any trace of a king's temperament in him. He indulged his subordinates and hesitated about the woman he liked. His thoughts were never clear. As a reader, it was really depressing. Don't dare to love or hate, this is my biggest image of the protagonist.
[Comment] There are very few books like this...
Nowadays, there are very few novels that can make me finish reading 500 chapters... But I can only finish 500 chapters== I will finish it when I am older. The pace of revenge is so slow and it seems so impatient. However, this author's plot is very powerful, with lots of foreshadowing. However, some things were too troublesome to write. After going around in circles for several times, I felt dizzy before realizing that the matter had been solved. It would be much more convenient if there were physical novels...
This book is very interesting and worth reading, but it is not suitable to be read in one sitting. Many people complain that they can't stand it anymore and it's hard to read. This is not because of the book, but because books with a deeper knowledge need to be read more slowly, and fast reading is only suitable for books with a shallow knowledge. The Dead Man's Story is a lot more enjoyable. One person is concerned with revenge and dominance, while the other is the emotional dispute between Shangguan Ru and He Nu. I read 470 chapters in one breath and found that I couldn't stand it anymore. The first volume was really amazing, but the second volume started to slow down. Gu has been tired of dealing with the war in Jinpeng Castle. It's not fun at all. It's all negative plots. This is very consistent with the previous classic martial arts, but some people will definitely not be able to read it. Qidian has enlarged the appetite of today's readers, just like feeding fish. In the past, the author had a strong skill, and the most satisfying thing was to eat three meals a day, chewing slowly. Now the author has a shallow skill, feeding bucket by bucket, feeding indiscriminately, so as to attract a large number of fish to take the bait. Good articles are rarely enjoyable, but they are of high quality, good plot, and worth thinking about. Readers who are used to eating in big mouths cannot stand a plot that is not enjoyable. They cannot swallow jujubes in one breath, swallow elephants like snakes, and three meals a day cannot satisfy most readers at the beginning, so they can't watch it. I also have this habit. My method is to read it after a period of time. There will always be a time when I finish it and this book is worth reading. Nowadays, there are really only a few authors who have a good starting point and can write stories and good writing skills. The great masters drive kayaks and cast nets to fish. There are basically no people like the author who fish patiently. Let's take a look and cherish it.
[Comment] Listen to "Time Tunnel" and read "Sutra of the Dead"
I found this book today and it was really good. I was fascinated by it. This is the Book of the Dead. When I read, I usually turn on Kugou, and the music is played on the radio. Then I heard Eason Chan's "Time Tunnel", and I was surprised to find that the two were a perfect match. 1+1 Is almost equal to 10. That dark, helpless feeling surrounded me like air, it was amazing. I simply set Kugou to be a single loop. I just read a little bit of the book, and I can't wait to share it with you. I continue reading, 88
Tmd said about the female lead, why don't you go read a book on a female lead? There are a lot of book reviews that say that the heroine is written so that other men can't stand it. Did you know that in troubled times, women without a powerful background want to gain strength. This is just a means. The living are miserable and the dead are safe. Huo Yun is a practitioner of the Dead Man's Scripture, and the solidified hatred prompts her to do whatever it takes.
No wonder I rushed to the street in the first place
The core of the story is completely unsatisfactory. It's a cliche story about bitterness and deep hatred. The protagonist falls in love with his enemy's daughter in a bloody way. Apart from the fact that the writing style is useless, the writing style is not that good, and the writing is so depressing and awkward. No wonder it didn't reach the shelves until the 500th chapter.
Although the pace is a little slow, it is undeniable that the quality of this book is very high. The ending of the protagonist is unpleasant. Shangguan Ru is the heroine that I like very much. In the end, she did not end up with the male protagonist. The male protagonist also persuaded her to travel around the world with her little fanboy who was obsessed with Shangguan Ru. This is the first point that is not pleasant. Although I also like Huo Yun as the female protagonist, it is really uncomfortable😖. Then there is the relationship between the male protagonist and Huo Yun. Until the end, there is no reason for it, which is very unhappy. At more than 1,000 chapters, Huo Yun still wanted to kill the male protagonist and avenge his first love. Although this first love was only together for about a month, although Huo Yun was not able to kill him in the end, and although Huo Yun had already fallen in love with the male protagonist and followed him for many years, he was really unhappy. After reading this book, I felt a lot unhappy. Shangguan Ru became an alcoholic, Huo Yun and Gu Shenwei didn't know why, and Miss Luo died. I feel quite depressed, so I can only vent by writing this book review. After venting, I thought of the title of the book "The Dead Man's Book". The Dead Man's Book is a martial arts book that makes people's hatred unforgettable. Because of the Dead Man's Book, Huo Yun and Gu Shenwei established trust, and also because of the Dead Man's Book, Huo Yun could not forget his first love, and Gu Shenwei was bent on revenge and did not pair up with Shangguan Ru. Finally, I was reminded of Jin Yong's classic martial arts films, in which none of the characters had a happy ending. Because of love, hatred, and grudges, too many people died, and many characters did not have a good ending and had regrets. Maybe this is Jianghu, this is martial arts, and it is a story that cannot be expressed in other novels. In the end, I can only say that I am very sorry for the ending.
This book belongs to the type that makes it uncomfortable not to read it, but even more uncomfortable to read it. It cannot be simply described as good or bad writing. All I can say is, after reading it, you will understand why I said that.
He Nu likes Gu Shenwei, and Gu Shenwei also likes He Nu As much as she loves him, she hates him, she wants to protect him, but also wants to kill him They support each other in the mud so as not to sink He Nu's initial love for Gu Shenwei It was hate, the hatred from Yaonu, solidified by the Dead Man's Book, but later she fell in love with Gu Shenwei But at that time, for Gu Shenwei, people were only divided into two types: those who were useful to him and those who were useless to him. He did not respond to Henu's love, but betrayed Ye Ye and saved her. Shangguan Ru also slept with Luo Ningcha, which all turned into He Nu's hatred. Finally, he gave him Ni Lian's Wudao Book, which made him go crazy At that time, Gu Shenwei had a monologue that as long as he was willing to beg He Nu, He Nu would not harm him, including in the future. Those things will not get worse as long as he is willing to marry He Nu, but he insists on the last dignity Gu Shenwei smiled at He Nu for the last time, when He Nu protected him. At that time, He Nu betrayed him and made him go crazy. The sword master Shen Liang led people around Kill them Later, when they arrived in Beiting, he said that he needed a plan to kill the old Khan King, but he could not let others doubt him, so He Nu did it, using a lame excuse to maintain her pride She captured and Gu Shenwei All the women involved, but because he didn't want them to die, He Nu didn't kill anyone, but just locked him up Han Fen said that he wanted him to be the leader of Xiaoyue Hall, and He Nu also became the Royal Master But in order to save Shangguan Ru, he fought with He Nu to lose. Both were injured, and almost killed her with one palm When He Nu was recovering from her injuries, Gu Shenwei and Han Wuxian cooperated to fight for Han Xuan. Once Han Wuxian caught He Nu, Gu Shenwei was sure to kill He Nu with one knife, but he still softened his heart and let her go Later during the competition, when He Nu faced Shangguan Ru, Gu Shen wanted her to be merciful and used the favor of killing the wild horse. This was a sign of distrust in her. Moreover, when He Nu found out that Shangguan Ru could also learn the Sutra of the Dead, her heart completely collapsed and she went crazy. Gu Shenwei took He Nu away and wanted to give her a compensation, which would also be considered as taking this danger away from Shangguan Ru and letting her stop entangled Shangguan Yushi said to Shangguan Ru that before being hurt, everyone has a chance to completely trust others. I gave this opportunity to you, who do you want to give it to She said I would give it to Huannu When Shangguan Ru and Gu Shenwei said this, Gu Shenwei had already fallen in love with her, but he didn't Dare to say it, for fear of destroying the hatred in his heart What Gu Shenwei hates is the stone castle, the jade city, where he becomes groveling, cold-blooded, and unscrupulous Finally in the Central Plains, Shangguanru bites Gu Shenwei's shoulder, tearing his clothes and bleeding, which actually means that she once broke Gu Shenwei's hard shell and saw the feelings he showed But there is a scar next to the row of tooth marks That was when Gu Shenwei and He Nu were making straw mats and was injured by her It proves that Shangguan Ru left a deep imprint on Gu Shenwei, and He Nu remained throughout his life The author gave Shangguan Ru the ultimate feeling Sex made her and Gu Shenwei forget each other in the world It gave He Nu the ultimate rationality, but made her crazy and stayed with Gu Shenwei all the time How it will end, I can't say, maybe Gu Shenwei will be killed by someone in a few years. After all, there is no eternal peak. Just like the Dubu King, no one will die. When Shangguan Fa killed the Gu family, he certainly did not expect that he would be defeated by Gu Shenwei. Similarly, as many people admire the Dragon King, there are as many people who hate him. Dragon King, but it's not a pity. After all, from beginning to end in this book, anyone who plays a role in the book will die a worthy death. For example, Dugu Xian and Fang Wen all perform their duties and are not considered good people. The only one who can be considered a good person is Dog Slaughter.
