Great Reads, No Mindless Novels for Beginners
I’ve read countless books on Qidian and hit more land mines than I can count. Every time I get blown up, I wish someone had warned me ahead of time. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a book-list feature back then, so I had to test each book myself, one painful read at a time... I’ve read every book on this list, and there’s absolutely no brainless amateur fluff. I hope you enjoy them. Here’s my rule for recommendations: I generally don’t recommend ongoing books with fewer than 500,000 words. Getting

Books I like
Like an Old Friend Returning
Meeting you for the first time feels like reuniting with an old friend 😊😊 If I hadn’t found these wonderful, exciting books, I might never have known there was another world this amazing! ❤❤
The Addictive Storybook
Everything on this list is something I’ve read… They’re not necessarily my absolute favorites, but they all have some intriguing conflicts… I update and revise the list regularly to keep it in good shape. Lately, I’ve found myself adding more stories with a distinctive style but a relatively small readership… I hope more people get to discover these original works! For my ratings, 5.0 is the maximum. They’re purely subjective, based mainly on the plot, characterization, writing, overall pacing
The Divine Realm
A gathering place for big-name authors. I’ll share the good stories I’ve read bit by bit~ Wow, there’s a limit? Then I’ll narrow down the picks even more! Because of the limit, some authors only have one book on this list. If you like it, check out their other books, too. Qidian should let us make a few more lists, at least one for venting and one for recommendations.

The author's writing style is okay, and the story is worth reading, but for me, the most uncomfortable thing is that the woman shows off her momentum even when she is not active, like a walking supercharger 🤔. People who have been in high positions for a long time, who can turn the tide and calm the situation in the past life, are certainly powerful people, but this "qi", this "power" "The author's words are too vague and superficial. Any person's "aura" must have its source. In addition to his own actions and words, it also comes from the surrounding environment and people's reactions. In an environment, if one person shows his own aura, it must be because other people are relatively weak for various reasons and unconsciously become a foil. Only then can this person gather the momentum of the environment and stand out from the crowd. The "momentum" in the previous life can come from holding the imperial power to force people to surrender, or the heroine can convince the courtiers to make plans for the world, and other possible conditions. However, the momentum in this life does not have the source of various conditions in the previous life, and in terms of description, there is no solid description of the ability to grasp the pearl of wisdom, see the fire, and see the leopard through the language and behavior. Therefore, when the description of this momentum appears many times, I find it difficult to stand on it. The writing here needs to be improved. I reluctantly understand that the heroine in this life is mysterious and terrifying! However, I will continue to support it and look forward to the author's intensive work!
Why haven't you updated it yet? It's time for excitement.
I just couldn't stand it after reading a few chapters, so I gave up on the article. How about people who are always frightened by their aura... It's so unrealistic... And one chapter appears several times. Is the author just trying to make up the word count? I really want the author to exude the so-called momentum mentioned in the article. Is this a novel about cultivating immortals?
Come back and update, I have been looking forward to the completion of this book!
I originally wanted to gain weight before looking at it, but I never thought that it would become stiff after a few years.
Updated!
Oh my God! Da Da actually came back to life!
{"TopicId":"803665280248184832","TopicName":"Internet Writing Hole Filling Festival Wishing Season"} My dear, your Queen Mother hasn't finished updating yet, remember to come back and write as soon as possible...
Please let me know if the author stops updating. Qidian management will also pay attention. So many chapters can be read with real money. If there is a reason why the update cannot be updated, please inform us of the waiting time before the VIP chapter starts. If there is no announcement, what kind of behavior is this?
The update was fine, but suddenly it was disconnected. What's going on? Isn't the author going to disappear again? Mr. Cui next door is back to normal now.
When I saw the limited-free book list, I realized that the author was resurrected! Spread flowers and welcome!
