A Seasoned Reader's Picky Taste, After Nine Years or More
I don't write detailed reviews or descriptions for the books on this list. All I have to offer is my overall impression of each book and its author. It's just a bit of self-indulgence on my part. The list includes famous and obscure books, old and popular ones, and even some that are no longer available on Qidian. Only books with strong writing and plot make it onto this list.

Japanese-Style Reading List
These are all niche Japanese-style books!
Novels Worth Reading!
Some good books I think are worth recommending.
Some Thought-Provoking Works
Making friends through books. Looking for like-minded readers. They say the deeper the love, the sharper the pain. When I criticize a book, it's not to bash it, but because I hope the author keeps improving and writes even better works.
A Veteran Bookworm’s List After More Than 2,300 Consecutive Sign-Ins
Western fantasy, games, science fiction, and historical fiction. I've read for so many years that my tastes have become pretty picky, and I'm not very interested in the usual big-name authors, so I'm constantly running out of things to read. I generally won't include books you'd find right at the top of the rankings. (At the very least, you should have to scroll down a little.) (Lately, the books I've wanted to recommend keep going on hiatus, and updates have been slow. I'm very sorry.)
Completed Great Reads for Anime Fans
Mostly fan fiction, stories where characters travel into manga worlds, and maybe some Chinese light novels? Excluding stories where male characters are turned into women. Books that have already disappeared: A Girl Summons, The Otaku Chef, Getting a System as a NEET, The Throne of the Second Dimension, Searching for the Lost Shipgirls, All-Around Fantasy, My Girlfriend Is a Voice Actor

Nothing in particular, just some books I like
A Friendly Recommendation
Great reads A massive conspiracy The Hong Kong Crime Boss of 1985 A Song of Qin Demon Hunter’s Journal Sword Fingers Shatter the Galaxy The Lost Mage Age of Light Les Misérables (The Undying) The Black Wizard and the Heresy Inquisitor Chitanda’s Super-Difficult Rebirth Strategy The Gray Wizard of Hogwarts Abyssal Demons Across the Worlds Heaven’s Game
Ling Luoxing's Reading List
Recommending some light reads.
Don't Ask. If You Ask, Then...
The Blade Stays Silent That Year, That Cicada, That Sword There Are Demons Here The Yin-Yang Detective Take Care, Chancellor
Invincible Power-Fantasy Novels
Truly interesting novels are one in a million; boring, formulaic ones are everywhere. As long as my criticism is sharp enough, someone will think it's the truth. A little creativity + good writing + a logically consistent plot - awful filler = a masterpiece
Some Fun Reads
I personally prefer xianxia, urban fiction, and fan fiction.
Mostly Underrated Gems: Fresh, Lighthearted Novels That Aren't for Beginners
A heartfelt list recommended by a bookworm of 10 years. Old and new titles, no amateurish wish-fulfillment novels, mostly otaku fiction and light novels. No abandoned series, so read with confidence.
Keep Trying, Keep Dreaming
I've been reading for a very, very long time... Here's a rough summary
Slice-of-Life Anime and Otaku Novels
Japanese-style slice-of-life and otaku wish-fulfillment stories I read slice-of-life stories because they feel a bit like watching a slice-of-life anime. But when they bring in the features of web novels, they also suit Chinese readers' tastes better, like face-slapping scenes. As for slice-of-life stories set in China: ① They're restricted by the censorship rules, so many things are hard to write about, like certain sensitive topics, street thugs, and supernatural powers. ② It's hard to make t

It would have been better if the protagonist hadn't been told he was an emperor in his past life. It's hard to imagine that a man who rose from a common soldier to the throne, only to be defeated and then cultivate himself to near-world-class strength, would be reincarnated with kindness.
[Comment] A large number of alt accounts and black market books appeared at the critical moment of the monthly pass competition.
The last two days of the monthly ticket battle were truly eye-opening. The book review section was flooded with a ton of fake accounts attacking the book. The most hilarious thing was one fake account loudly proclaiming, "You shameless bastard, when are you going to update?" According to my subscription history, the author updates every single day, so I'm quite satisfied with this mindless bashing. This was the funniest thing that happened to me today, thanks to the fake account user.
While some parts of the earlier chapters were toxic, they were still tolerable. However, Chapter 43 truly disgusted me. He killed so many people and then complained, especially since the victims were mostly scoundrels who didn't deserve to die. He called it "eliminating evil for the people," but frankly, it was just satisfying his own lust for killing.
I think the awkward part of this book is how a traditional Han Chinese could tolerate the surname of a Japanese slave.
To be honest, the only impression I got from this book was: "Want a cup of tea? Sure." "Want some coffee? I want some too." "Let's have a drink together? Come on, everyone..." The whole thing is just filler. I'm not expecting anything particularly exciting or anything, but at least have a main plot! It left me completely bewildered.
I picked it up several times, read a few chapters, but still gave up.
Is the protagonist a benevolent child? Top-tier cultivation techniques are given away with a click, but the romance is dragged out. Can't a powerful cultivator be a little more assertive? Two girls like you, it's gotten to the point of drawing swords against each other, can't you just accept them both? Or just choose one or reject both? What's with all this dragging on?
This book is incomparable to Reborn Japanese High School Student.
[Review] This book is a pleasant surprise.
I stumbled upon this wonderful book while casually flipping through pages. It brought back the warm and comforting everyday moments I experienced when I first read Awakening. I have to give it a thumbs up!
What is chapter 43 even about? Killing so many people and still feeling wronged? Damn it!
It's been a long time since I've finished a book properly, and this one was a real surprise. Having gotten used to monster-slaying and leveling-up stories, this lighthearted and heartwarming slice-of-life narrative was very enjoyable. The fantasy elements interspersed throughout didn't feel out of place either.
