Kongxin Jian's Second Urban Fiction List
My second list of urban novels I’ve read. The first one is full.
Urban Novels for My Backup Bookshelf
A strange urban-fiction list that no one follows, just to save books for later
Recommendations from a Ten-Year Veteran Reader
No showing off and face-slapping, just the truth that a quiet, simple life is best
Some Completed Books I've Read and Want to Recommend!
I have been reading for many years. Many books have left a deep impression on me, while even more have quietly faded from memory. I suddenly felt like making a list to recommend the books I have read in recent years, while also leaving myself a memento. I do not like shallow wish-fulfillment novels. I will not read clichéd plots, messy writing, or padded content!

Watching the World with a Cool Eye
See all kinds of people and things in the world, along with all sorts of imaginative ideas. My standards for choosing novels are simple: first, the writing has to be decent; second, the story has to be good, not too far-fetched or illogical. I collect lots of spatial and rebirth stories, which are rare in print books. Some are still unread, but they’ll come in handy when I run out of things to read. I drop any book as soon as I find a trashy protagonist. People should have principles, self-respe

Books I've read
Must-Read Great Books
If you know of any good books that aren't on my list, leave a comment and I'll update it from time to time. If you like the list, please save it and give the books you enjoy a thumbs-up... A quick note: I checked it from another account, and there weren't many negative comments! That made me feel pretty good. At least the books I recommended are decent.

Great Reads of All Kinds, Strongly Recommended by a Three-Year Veteran Reader

Books I Like
I’m not good at writing recommendations. These are all books I like and can stick with, from both male- and female-oriented categories.
Antiques and Feng Shui
I've been into this kind of thing lately, so I looked up a bunch of books.
Zero Realm Intersect
A good book can sweep you up and keep you reading day and night. It can even give you all kinds of amazing powers. What are you after? Cultivation? Immortality? Gods? Wizards? Magic? Knights? Alchemy? I've got it all!!! (My chuunibyou flared up again a while back, and I still haven't quite recovered.)
Scouring the Whole World
★Antique Appraisal and Stone Gambling★ This list focuses on books about appraising antiques and gambling on jade stones. If I’ve missed any, please let me know. Stories about antique appraisal tend to feel repetitive, which can lead to reading fatigue. I’m also pretty busy, so I can only do my best to keep this list updated. Thanks for understanding. Note: Unless a book is specifically marked as short or still ongoing, all the books listed are complete and over a million words long.
Eleven Years? Or Was It Twelve? Hmm, a Veteran Reader.
Preferences: dark, beast transformation, evolution, demons
Urban Fiction Classics
Classic urban novels.
Recommendations from a Veteran Reader of Ten Years
Farming stories, fantasy, and martial arts.
Books I Love 💓
Showbiz, alternate worlds, and cultivation
Good Reads and Better, Must Be Ongoing Favorites
It doesn't matter if the authors of these books are big names or not. What matters is that I'm following them. If a novel holds my interest, it's a good novel.

The protagonist is a complete saint with no bottom line. One chapter says someone came to kill him, the next he's off appraising treasures, and then he's not mentioned again for dozens of chapters. It's a weak ending, and I couldn't continue reading. It's too cruel. He's constantly being bullied and never fights back. It's too morally reprehensible. I've dropped it!
I can't help but complain; I haven't even finished watching the rest. There are so many flaws in the beginning. Let's not even talk about the protagonist constantly picking up stolen items; you can't treat all those wealthy shop owners like prostitutes! And you run an antique shop, why are you offering free appraisals to just anyone who walks in?
I'm so fed up! They're extorting you like this and you keep putting up with it? Are novelists idiots who have to make readers suffer like this? I'm speechless. 😅😅😅
I can't stand it anymore. I don't know how anyone who says it's well-written could even finish reading it. Someone schemes against you, even tries to rob you with a knife, and you just "easily let it go" because your parents have a good relationship with the other person's parents... "Easy to let it go" my ass!
It's unwatchable; the whole thing is just a saintly performance.
I didn't really want to watch anymore once the female lead and supporting female characters appeared.
The land of hope awaits its beginning.
The land of hope awaits its beginning.
This is so vicious! It feels like everyone in the world who's been fooled might hate the protagonist and want to harm him. It's like a case of terminal paranoia.
Why don't you just enjoy your antiques?! What are you doing, acting like a bootlicker?! Damn it!
The romance scenes are almost unnecessary and awkward.
