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

Tuantuan’s Reading Notes

My tastes are extremely picky, so this list may not be useful as a reference. 📝 Mostly no-romance and no-CP books, added as I read ✅ History, games, farming and development, mostly male-oriented fiction with the occasional female-oriented novel ❤️ Attractive protagonists who are decisive, even-tempered, and smart P.S. My favorite authors and books aren't on this list because I don't have the courage to review them.

Most of the books on this list are ones I've read and enjoyed. I made this list to keep track of them and share them with fellow readers. If any sound interesting, feel free to save the list.

Personal Recommendations

I've read a lot of novels, and sometimes friends ask me to recommend a few. I think and think, then realize I've forgotten so many of the books I read before. When someone mentions a protagonist's name, I vaguely remember the story, but when they ask for the title, I'm completely stumped. So I made this little list of books I've enjoyed, both ones I remember from before and new ones I come across. Then when friends ask me for recommendations, I can just share the list. Easy and convenient.

Mostly No Romance or One Love Interest

Top picks: great books with no female lead, a single female lead, and no tired formulas! If you've made your way here through the sea of lists, it must be fate. Updated regularly, quality guaranteed. I'll reply to comments unless they're ads, and I'll consider adding works by famous authors. Tired formulas: pass. Multiple female leads: pass. If you're interested, feel free to follow. I'll add any good books I find that suit your taste. Likes are optional. I don't really mind. A few notes about t

Quality Reads

Reading can turn life's bitterness into the sweet wine of living and create a happy life.

First Snow! (つω`)~

It has to be satisfying, it has to be fun!!! ←_←~(￣▽￣)~(￣▽￣)~This is unbelievably satisfying~ No preaching. Having fun is what matters most. After all these years of reading, I no longer sort books by genre. What I like changes with the time and my mood, so take your time looking. There is always something that suits you. (⊙o⊙)…A veteran reader's list after 14 years!!! This is only a tiny, tiny portion because there are simply too many. ..... Thank you, brothers and sisters, for the flowers.

Sunshine in My Heart

Bring your own sunshine and let it light up your heart. As long as there is sunshine in your heart, wherever you go and whatever happens, you will feel happy.

A Ten-Year Reader’s Book List

I've read most of the books I recommend, or I'm currently reading them. If I feel a book is poisoning me as I read, I'll remove it from time to time. I generally don't recommend books where the protagonists or supporting characters seem brainless, where the logic is a mess, or where the story lacks basic common sense. I think I'm too picky, so these days I'm basically always out of books to read.
