Korean Entertainment: Great Completed Reads and Ongoing Series
I've been reading Korean entertainment-industry novels for nearly ten years, and I feel like there are so few good ones these days. (Most authors don't pay much attention to career storylines, which take more effort to write. Instead, the characters start dating right away.) I hope more promising Korean entertainment novels will come along. I used to like Lin Yun'er and Girls' Generation. Now I've added Twice's Mina and Liu Zhimin to the list. That said, I might still add a few good Korean enter
Beast Taming Is Surprisingly Good
I've gone from a newbie to an old hand, and there are fewer and fewer books I can enjoy. This time, I'm recommending some creative reads that should appeal to seasoned readers.
Fanfiction: Anime, K-Pop, and Chinese Entertainment
The older I get, the lazier I become. Ever since I started reading fan fiction a few years ago, I've loved stories that come with their own established worlds. With new books, you have to learn the setting from scratch, and it's too much work. This list is mostly fan fiction I've read, including anime worlds, the Korean entertainment industry, and our own Chinese entertainment scene. That's it.
Foraging for Good Reads in a Sea of Books, Send Flowers 🌸
These are all books I'm currently following. After so many years of reading, I think this list has something for almost everyone: food, urban life, pets, fantasy, fanfiction, anime, and female-oriented novels. Feel free to recommend good stories too. Being out of books is a daily struggle ╯﹏╰ If you like food stories, anime, or pets, scroll down and have a look. I'm always digging for good reads and will add new books from time to time (≧㉨≦) Some are ready to binge, and some are new. I've fi
Omnivorous 👺
A backup of my bookshelf. Keeping track of the best books. My fragile heart has been hurt by abandoned stories and authors going into the palace. I’m out of books, and updates are slow. I’ll keep striving, and hope I get to see your concert someday... (Concert achievement unlocked ✌️)
Everyone Has Their Own Taste. I Only Recommend Books I've Finished!
Every novel recommended on this list is one I’ve finished. I never recommend books just because they’re trendy! My opinions are just that: personal opinions. What I consider a deal-breaker might be exactly what you enjoy, so don’t miss a good book because of a few comments. Every book on this list is one I’ve read, enjoyed, and been willing to pay to subscribe to. If you’re looking for something to read, give them a try first.
Some Gems Collected by a Veteran Reader
I read all kinds of books, but I still have standards.
Books I've Followed Over the Years
I've been reading for quite a few years, but there are very few books I've managed to stick with.
The Garden of a Hundred Grasses
New books, old books, nostalgic books. Daily updates, monthly updates, updates whenever I'm in the mood. A veteran reader's list of books I've tested for quality. Recommendations welcome, too.

Wen Xi’s Korean Entertainment Web Novel Library
I update this list with new Korean entertainment novels from time to time, and regularly clear out abandoned novels once some are finished. If you happen by, don't miss out. (Most of these novels are still being updated. There are currently 72 books here. Read all 72 before asking me for more recommendations.) P.S. The initial rating is three stars. Each time a novel goes on hiatus, it loses half a star. These ratings are purely personal, so feel free to recommend new books!

Urban Fiction About Showbiz Stars
Entertainment-industry novels~~~ Reading entertainment-industry stories set in parallel worlds is pretty fun. I've learned about lots of TV shows and movies I hadn't seen before and listened to plenty of music I'd never heard. It's a great experience~ Some authors' golden fingers can be pretty ridiculous, and their wish fulfillment can be over the top, but some of these novels are still worth reading.

Author, you've been padding the script ever since Lee Hyori announced her marriage. If you really can't handle it, maybe change the female lead.
I've kept this book on my bookshelf just to see Hyori and the main character decide their relationship—raise your hand?
[Comment] Brother Mingjian, please take a look. Here are some thoughts on this book.
Initially, two things attracted me to this book. First, the subject matter was variety shows. I'm not a very seasoned K-pop fan; my interest in variety shows stemmed from Running Man, and I only started watching X-Man, Infinite Challenge, 2 Days & 1 Night, etc., After that.
When will this story end? Then we'll read Son of Zod. If you're so capable, don't update this one and just read Son of Zod. We, the long-time readers, will wait for this one instead of the other. We'll stop when it's finished. Author, you can't treat us like fools. We've waited so many years for this book! Enough playing with us readers! We won't read Son of Zod until this one is finished! Brothers, let's support this! 😆😆😆
This is amazing! I read this novel in middle school; it was incredibly popular back then. I quit high school, and now I've graduated from university and am in graduate school, and it's still getting updates! I'm speechless. I'll come back and check it out after I graduate.
Do you have any more Running Man books? I'd like to request some. 😭
I've forgotten how many years ago I read this novel, but I've read it many times. Personally, I think it's the best-written Korean entertainment novel (single female lead), so it's always been on my bookshelf. Now I really want to see her confess to the queen, get together, participate in "We Got Married," and have a perfect ending in the book. Author, I really hope you can come back and fill this plot hole!
I heard there's Running Man coming out, hurry up and write about it! Running Man has been around for so long, you've got plenty of material to write about.
The biggest regret of Korean entertainment novels!!!
I was wondering why the book title looked so familiar; I'd read it before…
