Recommended by a Veteran Reader of Fifteen Years
You can’t go wrong with these recommendations.
No Beginner-Level Writing, Realistic Style, Mostly Historical
One book, one life, one world. Every character feels real and fully formed, with their own thoughts, ideas, and point of view! Historical fiction, but not focused on technology.
Novels Qidian Says Make Me a Reading Sage
A single comment can uncover all of Qidian's hidden gems, while one book can ease your reading drought for a time. Detailed ratings: First tier: Pioneers, the founding works of their genres Second tier: Classics, beneficial from the first page and impossible to put down Third tier: Treasures, worth every penny of a full subscription Fourth tier: Worth a look, even following updates is a pleasure Fifth tier: For later reading, stockpiling provisions against future reading droughts

The Booklist King
Only the best books make this list. If you don't like them, come find me.
Great Plot-Driven Reads, Mostly Historical
Books I like, shared with everyone Many of these are historical novels. The big-name authors are already well known, so I won’t recommend them here. I’ll focus on less famous ones instead. This is my first list, so it isn’t very detailed yet. I’ll fill it out later.
My Picks for the Best
These are books I usually consider quite good, with solid logic and reasoning.
To Each Their Own
Books a ten-year veteran reader has enjoyed, both old and new. There’s no fixed genre, but I can promise I’ve read every one of these myself and thought it was pretty good. I can’t be bothered to think too hard about all the good books I’ve read over the years. I’ll just recommend whichever ones come to mind. Updates are irregular. Sometimes I come across a book I like and add it right away. Other times, I’ll read several books in a row without finding one good enough to recommend, and I’d rathe

Offbeat and Niche
Top-tier reads and solid picks. My tastes are a little unusual, and I like older books. I recommend reading from the bottom up.
For a Reading Slump, Have Some Dog Food: No Masterpieces Here
Don't assume I'm recommending books to make a deal just because I'm an author. I'm a web-novel fan first and foremost. I recommend books in good faith, and my reviews are straightforward, not flashy like those on other lists. I know I'm here to help readers suffering through a reading slump find something to enjoy, not to sell anything. As for why I don't update the list very often, it's because good books are hard to find! That's still better than recommending random stuff, even if my tastes
Deep Blue Book List
Books I like
The Qing Dynasty and Republican Era
If you enjoy novels set in the late Qing and early Republican eras, come take a look. Some books I’ve read have since been censored: The Great Hero of the 1911 Revolution, The Great Warlord of the 1911 Revolution, Warlords of the 1911 Revolution, The Iron-Blooded Republic, The Beiyang Warlord, and Speculators of the Republic. Lately, I’ve noticed there are fewer and fewer books on my list…
By the Time the Skies Clear, Summer Is Already Deep
Wuxia, historical fiction, eastern fantasy, anime-inspired fiction, fan fiction, and urban novels. I don't collect books by major authors.

Written by talented authors, these books are absolutely worth reading
Worth a Read
I've been browsing Qidian for over seven years, and I'm gradually learning how many formulas there are.
Novels You Can Keep Reading
I don't stick to any particular kind of book. These are books I'm interested in and can actually keep reading. Abandoned books will be removed, leaving room for classics and promising new works. Completed books will gradually be replaced with the author's newer works. Here are a few books I read when I was just getting into web novels. They may be a little dated, but I'm grateful for the wonderful memories they gave me: The 108 Star Maidens of Mount Niang, Spear King Zhang Xiu of the North, and

Those Mysterious Worlds
I've been an avid reader for over a decade, growing alongside Qidian. I've had my fill of naive and formulaic novels, and have gradually come to care more about writing quality, originality, and substance. In the spirit of sharing the fun, I'm recommending some good books I've read recently!

Some say that the Manchus brought the three northeastern provinces to China, but the three northeastern provinces originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchus were in rebellion.
The Qing Dynasty was no good, and the Ming Dynasty wasn't much better. It was pure anti-Qing, pro-Ming sentiment, and the emperors were still from the Zhu family—it's disgusting.
Whether it's the Ming or the Qing, they're all the same. The only difference is that Han Chinese and Manchus were in power. No feudal dynasty truly cared about the people; their only concern was preserving the throne for their own family and clan.
It's been banned for eight years, but unfortunately the author has lost the spirit they once had.
It would be best to start a new book, even if the methods are a bit violent ╮(╯_╰)╭ Hmm, the Han Dynasty was good, repaying kindness with kindness and injustice with justice. Against foreign tribes, destroy their ancestral temples, slaughter all their men, and let them disappear into the annals of history.
Why are we always trying to prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty?
To be honest, the Manchu conquest of China was an invasion and bad, but what did it mean that the Ming Dynasty, already in such a state, still needed to have the Prince of Tang as regent? It's like I finally stopped eating this pile of Manchu shit, and now you're feeding me moldy food again?
To be honest, the author is awful. They should have mentioned in the introduction that this is a book supporting the Ming Dynasty. I only realized it was a Ming sycophant after reading chapter 690, and it disgusted me. I don't like being a Qing Dynasty lackey, nor do I like being a Ming Dynasty lackey.
Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger; fame and fortune are but dust and dirt. Looking across the land, the people suffer; thousands of miles of fertile land are all barren. Looking at the world, all I see are barbarians; Heaven's ways are flawed, but a common man can mend them. A true man bids farewell to his parents, dedicating himself solely to the common people, not to his master.
The lockdown is over! I quickly scrolled through it again. After finishing, I went to the anti-Qing comment section, only to be shocked to hear that Bone (a nickname for a celebrity) is going through a divorce! It's truly heartbreaking. I don't know the details, but as long as it's not about cheating or infidelity, I always advise reconciliation, not separation. Screenshots of the mutual understanding and support between Gu Tou and his wife back then are shown below.
Good books
The content seems somewhat brutal. But the real history is even more brutal. It's like reading a book about the Nanjing Massacre versus visiting the Nanjing Museum. The former evokes pain and hatred, while the latter adds the unbearable feeling of having your heart bleed.
