The Mercenary’s War

Heartfelt Recommendations from a Veteran Reader

Books I think are basically good. Feel free to take a look. I especially recommend Interface Card (Ruo Shu). The style is rugged, the imagery realistic, and the writing is still quite nuanced.

The Captain's Favorites

As always, devoted to martial virtue.

No More Idiot Plots: Stories with Tight, Well-Crafted Plots

A breath of fresh air amid all the brain-dead wish fulfillment, and a godsend for anyone with OCD. When I first started reading web novels, I quite liked simple, fluffy stories. Now, whenever I see the titles of books by those so-called great authors, I feel like throwing up my last meal. The books on this list have excellent prose and logic, at least on par with the average print novel (judging by books published before 2010). Most are titles I've accumulated over more than ten years of readi

Remember those nights spent reading until dawn? The time has come. Rise again, my beloved books!

For When You’re in a Reading Slump: Updated Whenever I Find a Gem

I favor urban, historical, slice-of-life, and fantasy novels. 👉 Classics, completed gems, and great web novels are shared in the comments. 👉 I don't update the list often. It can only hold 50 books from this site, so when I add new ones, completed gems may be moved to the comments. 👉 I like sharing works with sound values and solid logic. I hope someone can recommend some older books. The new releases are hard to stomach.

An Old Bookworm's Reading List

People around me don't understand why I love reading novels so much. I tell them that every book contains a colorful little world, and I want to see what makes each one unique and hear its different stories, whether they're funny, moving, or peaceful. These worlds touch and captivate me. I want to share the stories I love with everyone!

Novels I Enjoy

Books I like and have bought in full. I don't sort them much; I just add whatever I find. Feel free to take a look if you're interested. I'm a bit picky about what I read, and I only keep going if a book catches my eye. Sometimes I lose interest partway through.

Private Collection

I deleted a lot of the books I read before. These are the ones I've read recently.

I Have a Pot of Fine Wine and a Tale to Tell, Would You Care to Listen?

The bright moon startles magpies from the branches; cicadas sing in the midnight breeze. The night sky over the stone steps is cool as water; I lie and watch the stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky; I sleep troubled beside the river maples and fishing lights. Autumn candlelight chills the painted screen; a light silk fan swats at fireflies. Perhaps I’m not good at telling stories, but I’m certainly good at chatting. I browse the forums and turn throug

Strongly Recommended by a 15-Year Bookworm

This is my subjective opinion, so please don’t flame me if you disagree.

Tongjing Tower Library

I've been reading for fifteen or sixteen years and have a lot of experience. I've watched novels evolve from the early days, when xuanhuan was everywhere, through the first generation of xianxia, the development of fantasy subgenres, and the dawn of web literature. I used to read anything, but now I look at novels more critically. I believe my standards are much like those of other longtime readers.

Treasures Gathered from the Sea of Literature

These books are like a ray of light borrowed from time, illuminating the years of my youth.
