Ning Xiaoxian’s Record of Taming Gods

Promising New Reads and Comforting Favorites to Beat a Reading Slump

Finding promising new authors and fresh stories, with no word-count limit. I judge the writing, not the length. Quality comes first here. I welcome entertaining power fantasies, imaginative System novels, and humorous urban stories with plenty of wish fulfillment and a bit of harem romance. I also enjoy the paranormal, detective stories, and mysteries. New authors, when recommending your book, just mention its strengths and weaknesses. I'll take a look when I have time. Recommendations can be ma

[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

Unforgettable, impossible to put down, stirring to the soul, and lingering in the mind.

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

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

Great Books I've Read in the Past Two Years

There are stories set in both ancient and modern times, some about the powerful elite and others about ordinary people. Most seem to have a couple. Life is hard, so let's have something sweet, hehe.

Books I've Enjoyed in Recent Years, Mostly Female-Led Xianxia and Mystery

I'm picky and always running out of books. Lately, I'm only reading xianxia, fantasy, and mystery novels with good prose. I like strong male and female leads who stand side by side. No weak little flowers, no saintly characters, no mindless stories, and no melodramatic romantic entanglements full of angst. Books I've read and liked: Jiejian by Yu Jing Peng Xiang; From Longevity to Ascension by Xiao Shi Ni Ge Zha Zha; The Legend of Shen Li by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang; The First Sickly Disciple of the Cul

A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems

I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many

Make Time, Enjoy the Ride

I've read every book here in its entirety, and some of them two or three times. They took up my time and gave me joy and pleasure. I hope you'll enjoy them too.

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

🔥Timeless Masterpieces🔥

☕☕Some books are never forgotten. They only grow more fragrant with the passing years! There's something for everyone: xuanhuan, xianxia, supernatural, Western fantasy, urban, sci-fi, wuxia, gaming, and more! You may not have heard of some of these books, but that doesn't mean they're not good. They're simply not famous. When I recommend a book, I prioritize the writing, then the plot, then originality. Things like the System, style, and setting come after that. 🌴🌴Qidian really does have some gr
