Books This Veteran Reader Has Worked Through
When I have free time and nothing to read, I pick up a book. I used to read print books, then joined the world of ebooks. When I like a book, I read everything by that author. Of course, an author's early works may not always be great, but you can see their effort and growth in them. These books aren't generally by today's most popular authors, but they're worth reading and aren't padded with filler. I hope fellow readers find this list useful.

The books I like tend to have unusual styles: apocalyptic settings, detective stories, supernatural tales, and the like. I may read both male- and female-oriented fiction, though I really have not read much male-oriented fiction over the past two years.

Completed Good Reads for Soft-Spoken Girls! I Wouldn't Recommend Them If They Weren't Good!
I'm a woman, but I'm not particularly tough-minded. I wouldn't dare call myself a delicate little sweetheart, but I really am a timid girl. I've spent eight years reading, so this list has both new books and classics, by both big-name authors and lesser-known ones. The only exception is A Little Trouble in the Immortal Realm, because it's written by yours truly, Xiao Zi! That's how I roll! Every book on this list is complete. Complete, complete, complete! That's important, so I'm saying it three
To Each Their Own
A variety of books I enjoy
Books I've Loved Over the Years, Neither Whitewashed Nor Mary Sue
Books I've enjoyed over the years, with no naive or overly idealized stories!
Female-Lead Power Fantasies
The female leads here have their wits about them! Their values are upright! The plots do not drag, and most are feel-good stories. Most are complete. I recommend them to everyone and hope you enjoy them too.
Top Picks for All Readers
Great completed novels I’ve read. Most of the protagonists are independent and self-reliant. This list will be updated regularly.

Ancient-Era Romance Reading List
Good writing and no ridiculous plot twists
Novels I Like
Strong heroines, quick transmigration, sci-fi, and all kinds of things I like.
The Days of Jieguo 🐭
I love strong female leads and don’t like fragile heroines. I read male-protagonist stories too, but not brainless ones that blindly favor the lead. I prefer happy endings. Transmigration, high fantasy, historical, and space opera are all fine. Most entries are books I’ve read. 🐾 means ongoing, 🌸 means the author has another book on the list, 🔥 means highly recommended, 💔 means I didn’t finish it.
Personal Favorites
As long as a book has even one thing worth praising, I'll enjoy it. So these books may not be perfect in every way. I'm just keeping a personal record of what I think their strengths are, that's all.

Classic Reads I Love
I've been reading web novels for over ten years. I tend to prefer cultivation fantasy, space sci-fi, and alternate-history or ancient-setting romance, though I read other genres too, just not as often. These are all books I've read and enjoyed for their writing, plot, and other strengths (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ P.S. They're all aimed at female readers. I don't mind whether there's a male lead, as long as the story handles it well and is enjoyable.
Read It Once, Then Again. You’ll Want to Keep Coming Back
On average, I read two books a week. Some are genuinely excellent, but recommending them all would be a bit much. So I'll only post the ones I think are worth recommending. A mix of novels for male and female readers. I love both fantasy and romance. No silly, naive protagonists, no saintly do-gooders, and no warped values. I try to stick to completed books. Waiting for abandoned stories to update is just too painful.

I've finished reading it. The first half was alright; both the male and female leads have great personalities, and the writing is excellent. Unfortunately, it lost its appeal once the political landscape began to develop in the middle. The author's old problem remains: poor attention to detail. The various contradictory arguments that cannot withstand serious reasoning left me speechless.
I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. From what I've seen so far, aside from the story being a bit rushed in the early stages, there aren't any major problems; in fact, the flaws don't outweigh the merits. The character development of the male and female leads, as well as the various supporting characters, isn't flawless, but it's quite vivid for a Qidian novel, which is what…
The female lead is self-righteous, selfish, and constantly does stupid things. It's completely illogical. I can't watch it anymore. I want to vomit.
This is the only book by Lingzi that I haven't read yet. My previous rankings were: first, shipbuilding; second, counterfeiting; third, house building; and last, domineering officials. Lingzi's heroines are getting more and more tragic in each of her books, haha. Before reading this book, I knew it would be difficult for any book to surpass "The Steward" as my No. 1 Favorite.
The beginning and middle were great; the male lead is a very reassuring person, regardless of money or status, just a genuine sense of security! The later part got a bit contrived and dragged on. But it's still a very good watch!
As a maidservant, and one who served in the quarry until her death, the female protagonist probably didn't know much. The author might have been better off changing the setting.

2 Votes for likes and favorites! She was reborn into her own body, amidst howling heaven and earth, raging wind and snow, chilling wooden groves, and bloodied shackles, still heading towards death. She was wronged, she was indignant, but as a slave, she had no choice but to leave her home and family.
I finished this book using two unlimited reading vouchers. The story itself is quite well-written, but the ending felt rushed, leaving many things unexplained. For example, what was pulled out of the lake? What did Cai Fan see at Wu Rui's place? It all remained a mystery until the end. Sister Dugu and her husband are decent characters, so why is their son so useless?
That's great! Keep it up! 🌹
This is far inferior to the head steward! To highlight the female lead's legendary status, events are presented one after another in rapid succession, making it tiring to read. Moreover, even if someone born and raised in ancient times is exceptional, it's impossible for them to despise the doctrines of reason to the point of near-feminism.
