Top Mystery and Supernatural Reads: Strange Tales from Qidian, Night Two
The first night those stories came for you, you didn’t run. So now they’re back, bringing a deeper night, a longer hallway, a quieter room... Are you ready?
Awakening from a Great Dream a Thousand Years Later
Please don't recommend books. I won't add them. I've removed some books because their blurbs weren't good enough. If you like the list, please add it to your favorites. →_→ The title was too generic, so I changed it. Reading tip: turn off chapter comments.

Great Reads You Don't Want to Miss!
These are just my personal tastes, so don't flame me if they're not yours. Harem and amateurish stories, stay away.
Dark Fiction: Stories with Non-Toxic Protagonists
Essential traits of a dark-fiction protagonist 1. Antisocial personality: willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals 2. Socially withdrawn and hyper-logical: highly intelligent, loves putting on an act, and no one can see through the protagonist 3. Emotionally detached: cares only about themself Here are a few novels on Qidian that, for some reason, won't show up on the list: 1. Boss Descends into Reality (fits all three traits) 2. The Beginning of Corruption (fits traits 1 and 2) 3.
My Reading List
Books I think are good
No Female Lead
It's hard to find novels like these nowadays. I'll recommend a story with just one female lead if it's really good.
Personal Income Tax
A bulletproof vest.
The No-CP Completed Books I’ve Read Over the Years
Everything here is a finished novel without a romantic pairing that I have personally read. Some books have been buried in the vast sea of literature and are not well known. Others have been removed from their platforms but were saved here in time. Some are not on Qidian or have been taken down with a 404, so they cannot be added here. Most are male-oriented works, with a few female-oriented novels featuring male protagonists, plus one treasured title that anchors the list. By the end of each st
No Female Lead, At Least for Now
These are all novels without a female lead. I can't stand novels with female leads these days, probably because I'm single.
Not for Beginners, Few Clichés
I'm not into formulaic stories, and official recommendations just don't do it for me, so I made this list. If you have recommendations, let me know. P.S. Most of what I read is dark and unconventional, so it might make you a little uncomfortable, but the characters are definitely smarter than average! I've become obsessed with Hearts of Iron IV, and it's made me interested in modern history.
Ten Years of Reading: Books to Remember and Ones I'm Following
Somehow, I've been reading for ten years already. I've read far too many urban, fantasy, cultivation, infinite-world, primordial, gaming, transmigration, reborn, romance, otherworldly, and flirtatious stories. I've gone from a newbie to a seasoned reader, from hot-blooded tales to cerebral ones, from wish-fulfillment stories to books that put the protagonist through the wringer. After reading so much, there are always certain books and scenes you want to remember forever. I made this list for my
No Beginner-Level Protagonists, Saints, or Harem Stories
No brainless novice fiction, no saintly do-gooders, and no harems. Here’s a handpicked list of great books recommended by readers with over ten years of experience.
No CP. Strong Female Leads. Mostly Quick Transmigration
Basically, novels I like
Darkness, Human Nature, Strategy, Schemes, Masterminds
My list may not be the best, but it does contain the books I want most. Maybe you'll find something you love, too! Eight-legged books that got banned! Looking back at the books that were banned, I found quite a few with uniquely original ideas. There's always a pair of kind, generous hands watching over you. Whenever those broad, rough palms cover our eyes and ears, we feel uncomfortable and protest. We've discovered something new, strange, and interesting, and we want to explore it! But most of
Supernatural Tales
After getting used to all the fantasy novels where the protagonist crushes everyone and collects a harem of brainless girls, I decided to try supernatural stories. For one thing, they have fewer heroines throwing themselves at the protagonist for no reason; for another, many of them expose human nature and make you think.

Keeping Track of My Reading Journey
I've read so many books. Time to organize them.
No Cliches and No Harem Kings
Some interesting books. Just browsing. P.S. I've selectively removed completed works and lower-quality stories.
A Seven-Year Veteran Reader's Collection
My tastes are a little all over the place. I'm a member of the weird-and-wonderful crowd, so I read a bit of everything. I might go a long time without updating, but everything I add is something I've read and recommend. They're either a lot of fun or absolute gems.
Stealing Books Doesn't Count as Stealing
Well, I just looked through my reading list. The first few books I recommended are already five or six hundred chapters long, so I won't be adding anything new for now. Well, since my job is pretty relaxed, I started reading novels to pass the time, and ever since then I've been through countless classics and duds. After more than a decade, I've developed a sense for what's good and what's bad. I've gone from a newbie to a seasoned reader, from righteous heroes to dark stories, from loli fans to

Why can't people be selfish? Why can't people harm the innocent? Why must you uphold justice?
If you've only read the beginning and are saying the protagonist is a jerk, unable to resist women, and always cleaning up after others, please finish reading before you comment. This book is quite dark, and the protagonist is very decisive in his actions; at least the beginning isn't a bad point.
[Comment] We, the book lovers, are on the rise... We should support good things...
I was extremely chilled after reading half of it. Being a very picky reader, I was deeply captivated by the very beginning, so I kept reading, even not missing the author's requests for votes and some personal reflections. I haven't finished it yet, so I won't comment further. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a towering building rises from the ground.
If you truly obtained the Daoist arts, what would you do? Day 1: Lam Ching-ying; Day 2: Liu Yu-sheng
When I saw the ending, I couldn't hold back anymore. What was this?! It was absolutely outrageous! I almost fainted while reading it. I've been reading novels for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. No wonder it's niche; if this became mainstream, I'd seriously question my existence.
Good heavens! She's such a saint. She doesn't fight back when hit, she doesn't talk back when insulted, she even threw the knife on the ground after being hit by someone else, and she still talks about evil. She didn't even see what happened.
Supplementary ticket
I learned about this book a long time ago along with Gu Zhenren. Back then, Qidian wasn't even online, so I didn't even know it was on Qidian. It's quite surprising that it's still around.
I finished reading it on Baidu, and also read some of the author's asides, so I'm subscribing to support the author on Qidian. Creativity never dies, passion never dies. Looking forward to the author's other works being completed.
To be honest, this novel is so bad that you can only finish it by spoiling the plot. Which normal reader wouldn't be spoiled by it? I can only admire those who finished reading it and then gave us spoilers.
I actually finished reading it! I just want to know what the author's twins will think when they grow up and read their dad's book—will their worldview be completely shattered? 😂
