Random Recommendations 🌹 A Booklist Full of Great Reads! 🌹
In 2026, on an empty recommendation shelf, brand-new books were selected and reviewed by editors before being placed in specific spots. A few days ago, each had been nothing more than an outline of a thousand or so words. From submitting a proposal to editorial review to uploading a new book, it has now become a book with a mind of its own. For all this, we should thank the passage of time in 2026...

[Soaring to Immortality] A Little Righteous Spirit in the Mortal World, 108,000 Dreams of Youth 🏜️
What is this reading list about? It's about how the whole mortal world can be a place of cultivation. It's about how the vastness of heaven and earth isn't found in the eight directions, but within the space of a single thought. It's about how no matter how boundless the land, it cannot go beyond the speck of dust in one's heart. It's about how dead trees bloom again, all things have spirits, and life exists beyond life. It's about the boundless future, endless beauty, each tribulation a fl

My Reading List
I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale
Top-Tier Apocalypse Fiction!
The apocalypse is no place for a bleeding heart. You don’t have to be ruthless, but you need to consider the consequences of your actions. I, for one, have no patience for a protagonist who’s too nice for their own good! Qidian has so few good post-apocalyptic novels, so I’ve had to make do... These days, so many apocalypse stories give the protagonist a System or some other golden finger that there’s no tension in everyday life. How can you call that an apocalypse? Life should be difficult and

Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.

Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty

Honestly, the comment sections these days are so incredibly boring. They used to be teeming with readers who would stay up all night discussing the merits and demerits of cultivation paths, immortal cultivation paths, and the Holy Covenant Alliance. The discussions ranged from the forms of human civilization to the science fiction settings of cultivation novels.
Some thoughts on "Read if you like, leave if you don't" I don't know who first coined this phrase. But after seeing it in countless book review sections, I feel it's necessary to discuss it with everyone. Are you really using this phrase correctly? This phrase frequently appears in various nitpicking posts, negative review posts, posts about abandoning a book, and even question posts.
I finished reading the main story yesterday, so I'll just casually read the epilogue. Thanks to Niu for writing such a novel. There may be many imperfections, but it's truly interesting. Like Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly, who cares about the big picture or the 100 dimensions? Just live life to the fullest and move forward. I wish Niu's new book another huge success and that it becomes a legend on Qidian!
I used to be a freeloader, reading whatever I wanted for all three years of high school. Then, after the release of "Old Cow's Spirit" (a popular web novel), I went to university and started reading the official version. But now, reading the spin-off of "Four Seasons: Resurrection," I feel it's so well-written that I can't just leave without paying, so I've also started reading the official version of "Four Seasons: Resurrection" official version.
"Cultivation for Forty Thousand Years" is a milestone in the world of novels. A novel can truly influence your real life. No one likes a gloomy and gloomy person, and no one likes being gloomy and gloomy themselves. Just a few years ago, there were countless protagonists like Li Yao in "Cultivation for Forty Thousand Years," who enjoyed killing for fun because he was too rich and powerful and too…
Wow, I just finished reading the second part. Honestly, if the power system wasn't still so terrible, I'd really doubt it was written by the same person. Many works are narrowly defined by good and evil, but in the second part, both Elder Yan and Boss Xiao have transcended simple good and evil. Even the legendary pirate king, Boss Bai, has a kind side!
The brilliance of this book lies in the world it constructs and the philosophical speculation within it. However, Li Yao's ideas are an expression of the author's vision, while the antagonist's theories are the author's adaptation of various existing humanistic, social, and philosophical ideas from real society.
I listened to the audiobook on Himalaya FM before writing this review; I'm usually too lazy to write reviews. But this book is truly excellent! With the narration by Beiming Audio, the thrilling plot combined with the exciting background music is simply divine! It's amazing!!
An absolute masterpiece. Apart from Mortal's Journey to Immortality, I don't think there are any other books in the cultivation genre that can compare to it. Moreover, it's impossible to write something like this without the author's painstaking efforts, repeated revisions, and being at the peak of his career.
Seven years ago, when I first read *The Three-Body Problem IV*, I was absolutely blown away. I spent almost two weeks devouring it, working non-stop, and filled half a notebook with my thoughts. Back then, *The Three-Body Problem* was incredibly popular, and I even compared it to a cultivation-themed version of the novel.
