Great Reads, No Mindless Novels for Beginners

I’ve read countless books on Qidian and hit more land mines than I can count. Every time I get blown up, I wish someone had warned me ahead of time. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a book-list feature back then, so I had to test each book myself, one painful read at a time... I’ve read every book on this list, and there’s absolutely no brainless amateur fluff. I hope you enjoy them. Here’s my rule for recommendations: I generally don’t recommend ongoing books with fewer than 500,000 words. Getting

【Top Picks】Online Games, Fantasy, Cultivation, Apocalypse, Romance, Urban Fiction, and More

[Looking for flowers, likes, and follows] I love stories with wild, imaginative concepts. I've been reading on Qidian for over a decade, and I'm sharing books I've read more than once. Most of these are complete. The ones that aren't are reliable ongoing stories that won't get dropped. I've reread some of my strongest recommendations several times. If you like a book, leave a like. Once the list is full, I'll delete the books without likes to make room for other recommendations. If you also enjo

The Library of Time

Whether or not they’re classics, some books have left a deep mark on my memory. I’ve collected them here for us to enjoy together. The pleasures of life are little more than satisfying our appetites and finding joy in the things that nourish the spirit. A good book can bring the joy of reading straight to your heart. When I’m following some books, I hope the author will never finish them. Once they do, I can’t help starting over from the beginning. They might not suit your taste, but if you hap

A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads

A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h

Having Met a Gentleman, How Could I Not Be Glad? By Qing Xuan (Mostly Female-Led Fantasy Cultivation Novels)

After years of reading, there aren't many books that I truly like. Even fewer have a heroine with just the right balance of intelligence and personality: she shouldn't be weak and helpless, but she shouldn't be so ruthless that her values are completely warped either. When a story gets that balance right, the character is bound to shine.

My Private Library 🍎 (Updated Very Slowly)

These books generally suit my tastes. None have anything particularly jarring that immediately pulls me out of the story or makes me drop it. Updates will be slow: whenever I remember another book, I add it (。ò ∀ ó。). Most are completed long-form works. Short books are too thin, and following an unfinished story is exhausting. Although I read almost every genre, this list mainly consists of games, history, farming, crime investigation, the future, xianxia, and industrial development. My reading
