Cai's Reading List
I started reading novels in seventh grade. The first one I read was "Zui Xiaoshuo", back when "Jue Ji" had just begun its original serialization. After that, I couldn't stop. I moved on to print books, buying not only magazines but also books by Guo Jingming, Han Han, Di An, and others. It gave me a firsthand sense of how they differed from traditional literature. Later, I got into online literature through pirated copies of "Douluo Dalu" serialized on mobile websites. Around the same time, mag
My Personal Picks: The Best of the Best, Half of Them Obscure and Niche
A little of everything, from niche and obscure to classics. I started reading Water Margin: The Sequel in third grade, and now I've been reading for a full 33 years. I've read countless novels. There are plenty of good books I can't think of right now, as well as books I remember being decent but have forgotten, so I'll add them as they come back to me. Basically, three stars means they're worth a read; don't expect any five-star ratings. Here are some I'm following lately.
Novels I Love
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Urban Fiction Masterpieces
A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
I Don't Want to Write Recommendations
Some books I’ve read.
Books with No Romance or Only One Couple
No romance or one pairing These are books I like, mostly completed. They're satisfying stories where the protagonist doesn't suffer needlessly. I'll mark ongoing books. I like following several different genres at once to balance my mood and keep plots from blending together. I might pair an intense killing spree with a farming story, clear-cut love and hate with emotionally detached characters, or sorrow and anger with a warm, healing story. If I've tried a book and enjoyed it, I'll add it here

Books I’d Want to Keep Following
Over the years, there have been books I might read from beginning to end, or scenes, or moments, or characters, or ideas, or even the mood I was in while reading, that always come back to mind.
Some Completed Books I've Read and Want to Recommend!
I have been reading for many years. Many books have left a deep impression on me, while even more have quietly faded from memory. I suddenly felt like making a list to recommend the books I have read in recent years, while also leaving myself a memento. I do not like shallow wish-fulfillment novels. I will not read clichéd plots, messy writing, or padded content!
Reading List Compilation 1
(Just my personal reading taste. A mixed bag of genres, still being organized.) A collection of books with satisfying, feel-good stories that aren't dumb, logical plots, thoughtful worldbuilding, and lovely prose, where the leads treat their love interests well, there's no romantic rival or just one, there's little pointless flirting, and the supporting cast, especially the villains, aren't one-dimensional. I've been reading for twenty years, and my bookmarks are a mess. I'm reorganizing them, s
A City Dweller Among Yellow Earth and White Bones
Mockery wrapped in witty banter, insults delivered without a trace. Such refinement and depth are beyond your understanding.
A Reading List for the Not-Quite-Veteran
If I read another Red Chamber fanfic, I will be a complete idiot. What the hell are these authors writing? The disjointedness is unbearable: one moment it is court intrigue, and the next the protagonist is back in the Grand View Garden bickering over petty matters with women and children.

The novel is well-written, but the plot clearly violates the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics!
Article 5 All cultural relics remaining underground, in inland waters, and in the territorial sea within the territory of the People's Republic of China belong to the state. Ancient cultural sites, ancient tombs, and grotto temples belong to the state.
I couldn't finish reading a few chapters. A poor DS (Disk Warrior), his first treasure—a super-rich old man wants to buy it, but he won't sell; he wants to give it to the old man... A treasure worth millions! Are you trying to poison me?
To be honest, a book from five years ago does have many flaws and shortcomings when viewed now, but back then it was truly a breath of fresh air. After all, it was an era of showing off and getting humiliated back then, and it still has many flaws now, but that doesn't stop me from really liking this book back then. And, very importantly, this is a single-female lead drama!!!
The author keeps writing the same thing. The beginning was okay, but the later chapters are just repackaged versions of the same material, making it incredibly boring to read. The character descriptions are also lacking! I thought I'd found a classic at the beginning, but after reading over 200 chapters, I was disappointed! The author should check out *Golden Eyes*!
After reading dozens of chapters, I always felt something was off. It turns out it's about life, but it lacks the raw, lived experience. Also, the author must be from the city and doesn't understand rural life. It seems like everyone is written in a very literary style.
While you're still struggling to make ends meet, you're giving away millions—money most people couldn't earn in a lifetime—to someone you've only met twice. This is similar to the blatant gift-giving in some novels. Poison is poison, regardless of whether the recipient accepts it. Some might think they've only spent 300 yuan to gain a favor.
Let me describe something to you. Chapter 215 already, and the protagonist has over ten million in his pocket, yet he still hasn't bought a car! Do you know what this means? It means that this book has absolutely no focus on the characters' lives. I'm just an ordinary person who reads novels for enjoyment, but the protagonist's life hasn't improved at all from the beginning to chapter 200.
I read the book. It has a lot of formulaic plot points, but I could still read it. The only thing that really bothered me was the main character's friend, Yu Feibai. He's practically the second male lead, and his character was just awful. He's always grabbing things and doesn't follow the rules. That's bad enough, but there's so much of this kind of behavior in his scenes. It was really unpleasant to watch. 😖
The protagonist of this book seems to lack any independent thought, and the title, "Treasure Hunting," suggests he has only a superficial understanding of antiques. The story of him finding bargains while shopping makes it seem like "Yu Feibai" (a famous Chinese writer known for his unconventional methods) should be the real protagonist. Aside from having special abilities, he seems to have absolutely no knowledge of antiques.
I've always been curious: even if it's a national treasure, it's a privately owned item acquired through legitimate channels. If the protagonist doesn't want fame, why agree to promote it? Don't ask what the country has done for you; ask yourself what you've done for the country! The protagonist has already genuinely contributed money and effort to the country, so why be so pretentious?
