Tracing the River to Its Source

Some books I’ve read, shared with everyone whenever I have a spare moment! I mainly focus on new fantasy novels with fewer than 100,000 words. If you find one worth checking out, post it here and we can discuss it together! One of life’s greatest joys is reading with a group of friends who share your interests, and exploring the faraway places the material world can never reach! If you’re passing by, feel free to save this list and leave a comment!

Qingdan: Reading Log

I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p

[Completed Novel Guide] Distinctive Style, Once a Sensation, A Hot Topic

Following Along with Cultivation Novels

Lately, I've still been more interested in reading cultivation fiction.

Fantasy Book Nook

Recommending all kinds of excellent fantasy novels. Please follow and send flowers. I've been reading novels for years, and consider myself a seasoned bookworm. I'll boldly call myself an old hand. After creating this fantasy reading list, I'm sharing classics I've read and excellent ongoing novels with everyone. I hope these books bring you the joy of reading. Next, here are some authors with great writing who have written fantasy novels: Mao Ni, Xiao Qian, Zhi Qiu, Zhai Zhu, Zhuang Po Nan Qi

Strolling Across the Page, Lost in Time

Nothing is perfect, and web fiction is no exception! A recommendation doesn't mean a book is flawless, and criticism doesn't mean I don't love it. This list thrives on both praise and criticism! My three tiers of web fiction: Lower tier: familiar formulas (lots of tropes, plenty to read) Middle tier: boundless imagination (bold ideas and unexpected twists) Upper tier: joy, sorrow, love, and hate (stories that move you endure) Everyone loves an Immortal Grass masterpiece, but such books are rare

Twenty Years of Web Novel Reading

I've been reading web novels for twenty years. Most start strong and then go downhill.

Fantasy Collection

A book list dedicated to fantasy novels.

Reeds Fill the Sandbar

It can never be like those carefree days of youth again

My Beloved Hodgepodge

A bit of everything. These are all books I personally think are pretty good, and most are still being updated.

Just for Fun

I heard it's lame not to make a book list. My tastes are all over the place, and since there's a limit to how many books I can add, I'll gradually remove classic older books to make room for promising new works and ongoing novels. Why can't I get one book approved? I didn't mention an external link even once, did I?

My Little World of Reading and Self-Indulgence

Some books I enjoy revisiting, some I want to collect in print, and others I simply think are pretty good.

No System, More Exciting

There are so many System novels that I'm tired of reading them. It feels like today's authors can't write a novel without giving it a System, or some other golden finger. The result is a flood of books of wildly varying quality. In truth, writing a great story without a System is the real achievement, and it's more likely to produce a masterpiece.

An Uncle Recommends Books

A veteran reader of uncle age. I only recommend books I've checked out and liked, and I post at irregular intervals. Serious recommendations from someone who takes reading seriously. I started reading classic literature in fourth grade, wuxia in eighth grade, spent my college years on Longkong, and bought physical books and read Qidian after I started working. I've kept up a daily reading habit for over twenty years since entering the workforce. I've been around the forums and have plenty of rea

Fantasy: Timeless and Unforgettable

Really good

🌱 Old Bookworms' Ranting Club 🌱 Urban Stories, Family Cultivation!

A veteran bookworm with over twenty years of reading! In 2003, wuxia was king. I discovered Liang, Jin, and Gu, and Jin Yong became my favorite! In 2005, web novels took off. I started with the ordinary man's The Sword Immortal, then read the pioneering Journey to the Ethereal Realm. From cultivation to fantasy, online games, urban fiction, and history, I still love cultivation most! This list is mostly a way to vent the negative feelings I get from reading, and to record my reading history! Boo

No epic grandeur or rare treasures, just an ordinary life made extraordinary through hard work.

Lighthearted, Funny, and Irreverent~

Life is already hard enough. Why make yourself suffer more when you read? (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ~~~ These are books with funny, lighthearted plots. They're all caught up, so enjoy them with confidence. I've been reading for years, but lately work has left me with less time, so the list may not get updated very often. Please bear with me.

Ten Years of Reading

Ten years of reading.

Decent Enough to Read

These are books I've read and thought were pretty good. I don't like stories that try too hard to look cool. Substance matters, and the plot has to make sense. The author matters too, of course. I'm in a reading slump lately. If you've come across any good books, please recommend them. Thanks! So many books on the charts lately are comedy stories full of silly characters, or shallow wish-fulfillment tales about leveling up and fighting monsters. Even the xianxia stories I love have mostly turned
