🐴Casual Browsing, Hidden Gems💎
I'm casual, but serious about it: browsing for good books. Good books are hard to come by, so I like to bring them to light. ☀📖☀ Good books deserve to be shared, not buried. 🌟📖🌟 Come on, send me your recommendations and I'll give them a spotlight. This list is my personal bookshelf, filled with books I've read and want to revisit or plan to keep following. So anything I add has to suit my taste. Thanks for recommending books!
Pretty Interesting Historical Novels
I sincerely recommend great books that will take you through the landscapes of the past and let you explore the long river of history. These are all interesting historical novels about saving the nation in times of crisis, changing history, and achieving remarkable things. They span parallel worlds, ancient China, and old Europe, each with a different social setting. This is a list devoted to historical fiction, so please don't recommend other genres.
Tongtong’s Book Nook
No genre restrictions. I've personally read all of these, and they're classics worth keeping! (I have a few requirements for books: the author should be between 30 and 50, otherwise they may lack life experience and their writing might not have much depth or substance. A book should teach you something, at least. The story should be compelling, with no major plot or logic holes. The writing should be good, not overly simplistic. Some books are so forgettable that you can't even remember the prot

Flowers, Herbs, and Immortal Fruits from Immortal Herb Village
I've been reading web novels for over ten years, following them on Qidian since the CMFU days. I made this list not only to share books, but also to remember those times. The years have gone by, and these days I increasingly enjoy spending a leisurely afternoon curled up with a book. Under the weight of everyday life, this is one of the few moments of peace I get. Time falls like rain, and the years are like tea. I dedicate this list to the time I've spent reading. @

Books That Are Either Lighthearted and Funny or Passionate and Legendary
Books I have read, some classic, some overlooked, some worth protecting, and some full of ruthless action. Due to space limits, several weaker older books were removed and placed in the comments instead.
Learning from History
Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of becoming a great hero, returning to the past to change the world and make my name immortal. I’m sure lots of people have felt the same way. Alternate-history novels satisfy this desire, which is why transmigration stories have become so popular. If history could happen again, what would you choose? When faced with the sweeping tide of history, every change you make will alter its course. This list will collect and update historical novels from time to t

My Years Reading Web Novels
Hey~ Do you remember the title of the first web novel you ever read? That’s right, the very first one... I remember what year I started reading web novels, but I can’t remember the title of the first book I read. All told, it’s been fifteen years since I first discovered online fiction: fifteen years of every imaginable joy and sorrow. And even now, I’m still reading web novels. There’s nothing worth bragging about in a reading journey. I’m making this list simply to write down the titles of boo
Whatever I've Read, Whatever I Love, I Share
A list of books that moved me, along with books from which I learned something. ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ So shy If a book is very well written but still short, I will follow it for a while and let it build up. Once there is enough to binge, I will recommend it.
The Code of the Future
I’ve been reading for 35 years, and I only recommend books with good plots and prose 👌. I read what I want to read, think what I want to think, and say what I want to say. I’ll try to add books of different genres to satisfy everyone’s curiosity and catch their eye. By the way, I’ll occasionally upload chapters from good books that haven’t been signed to a publisher yet.
No Beginner-Bait: Just a Few Picks in 20 Years
Whether someone likes a book is highly subjective. Every genre has good books, but at the very least, a story must be internally coherent and distinctive, with good writing. I am very demanding about books. With many stories, once I roughly understand the formula, I can no longer keep reading. I do not recommend simplistic wish-fulfillment fiction. Many of the books I recommended, including The Land Is So Beautiful, Xian Chu, Six Dynasties, and Demon Blade, are no longer available 😭

The author's writing style is good, but the plot is really hard to express. This book doesn't feel particularly gritty, but it has a lot of toxic elements. The author's plot and emotional flow are disjointed, and the protagonist's experiences are too convoluted. It feels frustrating to watch; the author didn't release the emotions, the action was hesitant, and the climax was also hesitant.
[Comment] I've saved up over two hundred chapters, and reading them all in one go was so satisfying!
I've saved up over two hundred chapters, and reading them all in one go was so satisfying! I'm following three books at the same time, and of all the ones I've read, *Night Emperor* is still the best. The writing is superb, and the plot unfolds naturally and logically. Mwah, Uncle Guan, it's getting warmer and you've even caught a cold! Take care of yourself! 🌹
Read novels without watching TV series, watch TV series without reading novels.
I'm not Li Jie, but anyone who's been reading Yue Guan's books understands that Xue Shuiwu not ending up with the protagonist is inevitable. It's a turning point in the protagonist's transformation; shouldn't the plot have both regrets and happy endings? And you're talking about harem stories? In ancient times, did they only marry one woman? You need to consider Ye Xiaotian's status.
The later parts of Moonlight magazine were somewhat lackluster. The writing style, while still excellent, is different. Consider works like "The Night Walker in Brocade Robes" and "The Night Emperor"—the word "night" encapsulates everything. No matter how great one's power, without a legitimate name, one's words lack authority; failing to return home in glory is like scratching an itch through one's boots. Readers are constantly experiencing discomfort in the darkness; they need light.
It's an excellent work, but quite unpleasant to watch. The feudalistic ideology permeates everyone's experience; it's really frustrating.
I felt a real sense of loss after finishing it. I read *Step by Step to the Ming Dynasty* in high school, and I've forgotten most of the plot. I feel it's time to catch up. I didn't have the money before, but now I'll definitely make up for the few books by Uncle Guan that I owe him. 🥺 I guess Uncle Guan's new work will be finished by the time I finish it. 😁
I must say, Qidian's customer service is truly excellent. I believe readers of this book know that it has a serious problem: missing chapters, which is incredibly frustrating. But recently I contacted customer service, and surprisingly, some chapters are back online. While not all chapters are back, it's still very good. So, if you have a problem, contact customer service; complaining in the reader community is completely useless. Thumbs up for customer service! 👍
A bit disappointing. I read over 100 chapters and couldn't continue. A thousand-year-old tradition has been elevated to godhood by an outsider, and now he can do whatever he wants. As for the female lead you're talking about, I don't know. This is just my personal opinion, so please don't attack me. This particular book by Yue Guan just doesn't suit my taste.
Just wanted to vent! I have no problem with having a harem, but the fact that everyone in the harem is throwing themselves at me... Well, that's a man's dream, and thinking about it occasionally is quite satisfying. However, the Emperor's brother-in-law's use of a puppet to frame Xiao Tian was a clever and well-organized scheme.
