A Mysterious Journey

A Gem of a Reading Room

Great books I've read. (Tightly plotted masterpieces, or stories with boastful protagonists, wild ideas, humor, and some fanfiction.) I've been looking for more obscure books lately, so I've added star ratings as a heads-up. The two- and three-star books are ones I think you might enjoy if they suit your taste. If they don't sound right for you, don't blame me for recommending them.

Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs

I've been reading books on and off for almost 20 years. During a reading slump, I suddenly got the idea to put together a list of books I thought were pretty good. All kinds of genres included.

We’re Bailing Out, Guys. A Guide to Avoiding Duds When You’re in a Reading Slump

Books I'm reading or have read, rated out of 10. For good books, a 10 means I followed the story to the end and the plot stayed solid throughout, with no dull spots. A 9 means I kept reading without finding a reason to drop it; once it's finished, it becomes a 10. An 8 means I wasn't eager to keep up, but it was still enjoyable and had no dealbreakers. A 7 means I read up to the latest chapter, or stopped before that; there were no dealbreakers, but I just wasn't that interested in continuing. A

Personal Favorites

I’ve been reading novels for years, so I’m keeping a record of what I’ve read as a keepsake. I’ve read every book on this list at least once. I lean toward fantasy, transmigration, no heroine or a single heroine, System stories, extreme-path cultivation, and so on. (Just adding the blurbs for now. I’ll fill in the comments when I have time.)

A Bookworm's Bookshelf: Infinite Worlds, Transmigration, Reborn Heroes, and Systems. No Harem Heroes or Sanctimonious Hypocrites

🔥The books are mostly about transmigration, rebirth, Systems, golden fingers, and infinite worlds. No self-righteous do-gooders, no womanizers, and no brainless characters. 🔥These are all books I like. I’d be very happy if you like them too, and hope you’ll follow the list. If none appeal to you, well, I can’t help that. 🔥Updated from time to time.

Infinite Worlds, Martial Arts, Folklore, Wizards, Xianxia, History, Professions, Sports

These are mostly books I've read and enjoyed. My tastes lean toward: ① Infinite-loop, supernatural mystery, wizard, beast-taming, and card-based stories... ② Strange tales and xianxia, folk mysteries, and myths of the Classic of Mountains and Seas... ③ Steampunk, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic wastelands, and evolution and mutation... ④ Business rivalries, history, sports, games, sci-fi, and fantasy... ⑤ Stories about professions: doctors, painters, writers, actors, directors, basketball players, r

Infinite Heavens

I mainly recommend infinite-world and multiverse stories, but I'll also include other novels with distinctive features. I first got into web novels when I was in junior high. Back then, I wanted to read more books and collect material for writing essays, but I got hooked instead. At first I read fantasy, xianxia, and urban fiction. After a few years, I went from a newbie to a veteran reader, and most books started to feel increasingly formulaic. I stopped reading much fantasy and xianxia, and c

I've Never Found Another Book as Stunning Since

I like books that have something distinctive about them. No books that are too padded or have protagonists with laughably low intelligence. Not every book can be perfect, but we can still look forward to the things that make each one stand out.

I've been reading web novels for five years and have plenty of experience. My favorite genre is infinite flow. Nothing I add falls below decent fare. Some titles may have been abandoned or gone on indefinite hiatus, but I'll note that in the description. Updates are irregular, but I won't leave things hanging for too long. Ratings: ★★★★★: A true gem, a top-tier masterpiece you can read without a second thought. ★★★★: Top-tier fare, excellent books with no major flaws, loved by most readers. ★★★:

Masterpieces I've Read Over the Years

An author's knowledge and understanding are limited. Before they keep learning, most people can only write one kind of story, one good book. Authors who keep broadening their horizons and pushing beyond their limits are rare! I'll update the list gradually. I've read all the books here, and I only include one book per author!
