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.

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.

After watching it, the first and middle stages were okay. Both the male and female protagonists have charming personalities and the writing is also very good. It's a pity that it won't work after the world situation begins to develop in the mid-term. The author's old problem remains, poor details. The various processes of pros and cons that cannot stand up to serious reasoning make me dumbfounded. Smart people who are set up like gods will make mistakes like pigs. When you have overwhelming strength in your hand, you will definitely not use it. Think about it in the long run. No matter the protagonist or the gangster, they always have to "have no choice" or happen to let each other go several times. Never address a problem directly. A very good romance, a very good writing style, and a special subject matter, all were ruined by this terrible process. Pity.
I don't know why there are so many bad reviews. As far as I can see now, except for the early story, which is a little tight, there are no major problems. It should be said that the flaws do not hide the advantages. The portrayal of the male protagonist, female protagonist and various supporting characters cannot be said to be impeccable, but it is also very vivid in Qidian. This is what attracts me the most. There are no rigid routines or crude cheats, nor is there a large section of papermaking knowledge that can be copied rigidly. It can be summed up in one sentence: it looks comfortable. Recommended reading.
The heroine thinks she is selfish but does stupid things. Totally illogical. I really can't stand it anymore. Vomit
This is the only one of Lingzi's books that I haven't read yet. The ranking in my mind used to be: the ship builder first, followed by the counterfeiter, then the house builder, and finally the tyrant. The heroine of Ling Zi is more miserable in each movie than in the last one, haha. Before I read this book, I knew in my heart that it would be difficult for any book to replace "The Boss" as my No. 1 Book. But after reading the reviews, some people ranked Papermaking as their second favorite, so I read it, hoping to replace the fake one (ahhhh, the Jiangnan written in the fake one is really beautiful). However, I came back disappointed. There's nothing to say about Lingzi's writing style. I think no one in romance novels can match it. He's the only romance novel I'm a fan of. But in this paper-making book, the heroine's character is really unpleasant, and the male protagonist is also... Disliked. It is currently ranked at the bottom. It is a book that I will forget after reading it. It won't make the boating scene immersive and enjoyable like in "The Boss", nor will it outline the warm wind in the south of the Yangtze River like a fake, which makes people fascinated. It's quite satisfactory.
The front and middle are all good. The male protagonist is a very safe person. It doesn't matter about money or status, he is full of security! The backend is a bit pretentious and dragging. But it's still pretty!
As a maid, and a maid who served in a quarry until death, the heroine may not know too much. It would be better if the author changed the setting.
2 Likes and favorites!
2 Likes and favorites! She was reborn on her body, the world was roaring, the wind and snow were blowing, the trees were cold, the shackles were bleeding, and she was still heading towards death. She was wronged and refused to accept it, but she was a slave and had no choice but to leave her hometown.
I finished reading this book with two free reading coupons. The story is still well written, but the ending feels too rushed and many things are not explained clearly. For example, what was fished out of the lake, and what Cai Fan saw in Wu Rui, they were all confused from beginning to end. Sister Dugu's brother-in-law is also a figure, is her son such a loser?
It's great, come on 🌹
It's far worse than being in charge! In order to highlight the legend of the heroine, one incident after another appears intensively, which is very tiring to watch. Moreover, no matter how different a person born and raised in ancient times is, it is impossible for him to despise Neo-Confucianism to the point of being close to women's rights. While talking about the ordinary life of one porridge and one meal that the hero and heroine longed for, he slowly improved the status of the heroine, almost to an unattainable status, with money and treasures... Of course, the writing style is as good as ever, with few typos, but I don't like writing that is too out of touch with the social environment at that time. For the sake of refreshing, there are many places where the logic is illogical, and the director is unique. This book is similar to most of the time-travel and rebirth books, and it infinitely improves the skills of the heroine. Personal opinion
