Handma's Reading List

Please follow and save this list! ... Many of these books are completed, because waiting for updates is painful. Qidian books are usually great early on, then tend to go off the rails later. Our motto: don’t waste your money! (Though I can’t help it either.) ... The biggest problem with mainstream genre fiction is that it can’t write romance. I haven’t seen a book on Qidian that gives its heroine real depth. Could Qidian start a writing workshop? Have the site’s editors teach the classes: theory

Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time

Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare

No System, More Exciting

There are so many System novels that I'm tired of reading them. It feels like today's authors can't write a novel without giving it a System, or some other golden finger. The result is a flood of books of wildly varying quality. In truth, writing a great story without a System is the real achievement, and it's more likely to produce a masterpiece.

Power Trips with a Strong Male Lead

This list mainly collects novels I've read over the years and found engaging, with plots that make sense in real life. But if you're looking for System novels and expect them to be logical, this isn't the list for you. Feel free to move along.

My Bookhouse

I'm making a list of books that I've read and still remember clearly, to help me remember them. Even if I forget, I can find them here. I can also recommend good books I've read to fellow readers, and find books they suggest in the comments. I might even discover something great that I've never read. Good books are getting harder and harder to find.

Hunting for Books Is Like Panning for Gold ✨✨✨

Finding a good book you actually like in the vast sea of books is truly rare... Choosing books takes a lot of time. I do not have time to keep up with most of the books I add, so the only thing I can guarantee about the books I share is their quality when I added them... This list has started raising promising new works. Requirements for recommendations: steady updates and sound values! I generally keep a recommendation for a week. Those that suit my taste will stay! If you like them, please giv

A Ten-Year Veteran Bookworm's Eclectic Collection, All Books That Suit My Personal Taste.

I have been reading for fifteen years, and my tastes have become quite varied. That is why my list will not contain low-intelligence, mindless wish-fulfillment novels built around forced face-slapping. I like books with strong logic and storytelling. Let us see whether anyone shares my tastes.

Good Reads with One Main Female Lead, If Possible

Whether there's one female lead or not, the most important thing is that I can keep reading. That said, I prefer single-romance novels, especially ones with rational, dark, technological, gaming, or urban themes.

Whatever Strikes My Fancy

I'll add books as I come across them, whenever and wherever. New and old alike! I won't recommend lots of famous classics, since everyone already knows them! 🐼 This list has no genre limits and avoids formulaic stories. 🍈🍈🍈 Only original works written by people, no mass-produced "industrial products"! 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
