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

A Complete Collection of Great Novels

I made this list to recommend some books, and I hope you’ll enjoy them. Good books have been getting harder and harder to find lately. I spend every day trying out books, and every day they leave me utterly poisoned. To save myself from wasting time, I put together this list of books I’ve found decent and recommend them to other readers. If the books here suit your taste, please leave a comment with any other good ones you know that aren’t on the list, so we can share recommendations.

Here are some decent books I've read recently. I don't have strict genre requirements when reading novels. If I think a book is decent, I'll read a little of any genre, so the recommendations here cover many different categories.

Legendary Masterpieces

One reading list, a lifetime of memories. With books for company, and friends by my side. Perhaps you’ve stumbled across this list and noticed the words “legendary masterpieces.” Maybe you’re curious and want to see what makes a book legendary. If that’s why you’re here, you may as well move along. There are books by big-name authors here, of course, but also books that could be called masterpieces. Everyone defines that differently, because we’re all individuals. This list holds so many of my

Recommendations from a Veteran Reader Who Started Reading Online in 2003

I've been reading on Qidian for over 5,400 days, longer than 88 percent of readers. I was devastated when the author Zei Dao San Chi passed away, and didn't log into Qidian for years. When I finally came back, all my posts and reading lists were gone, so I'll have to rebuild them bit by bit. I tend to like historical, military, sci-fi, and urban novels. For some reason, I can only recommend ten books for now. I'll add more when that's possible. Authors like Angel Oscar, Geng Xin, Mao Ni, and San

Books I Love and Follow: These Really Are Great!

Every book has a complete story, and it's rare to find an author who actually finishes telling it. Otherwise, all that's left is regret. I want to bring you the very best books! Of course, these are mainly books I personally enjoyed. I usually like books without a System! I like everything except System novels, so this list has a bit of everything!

Mao You's Little Garden

A reading list from a bookworm of over ten years. I still remember registering my Qidian account in 2006. Back then I was reading The Demonic Saga, The Misty Journey, Magic Apprentice, Stellar Transformation, The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, Ghost Blows Out the Light, and many others. I've read so, so much, and the books I still remember made a deep impression on me. That's why it's hard to find books I can get into these days. Everything I recommend is something I can really enjoy reading!

Recommendations from a Ten-Year Veteran Reader. If You're Out of Books to Read, Come Take a Look.

I’ve been reading web novels for ten years. I’ve read many classics as well as plenty of lesser-known gems, and my tastes have grown increasingly particular. I’ve gradually come to enjoy both old-school web fiction and stories with creative ideas. Of course, I think both so-called “beginner” and “veteran” fiction are good; neither is inherently better than the other. It’s all a matter of personal taste. So you’ll find all kinds of stories on my list. I’ve read them all and thought they were good

Yan's Private Collection of Gems (Please Follow and Rate)

I usually recommend books I think are good, whether the author is a big name or a newcomer. If I enjoy it, I'll recommend it. I especially recommend books with a great opening three chapters. Authors who want their books recommended can just leave a comment. Three times, because it's important: please follow, please follow, please follow! I don't recommend books that game the system. I'd rather recommend nothing than books that fake votes or subscriptions, so if that's your thing, move along.
