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 Books I Followed Back Then O(*////▽////*)q
I’m pretty picky (￣^￣) And I only like following ongoing novels *ฅ´ω`ฅ* The books I like don’t have to be by big-name authors, but they must have something special (๑•̀ω•́๑) Usually they’re light and cheerful ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*) Feel free to save this list if you like it (*￣з￣) Updates are irregular. I might add something whenever I find a book I like √ Mostly female-oriented fiction, but I may recommend some male-oriented works if I find ones I like (つд⊂) I hope you’ll send flowers, bookmark the list, and

The author's writing is decent, and the story is worth reading, but what I found most unpleasant was the female lead's constant display of charisma and domineering presence, like a walking power booster 🤔. A person who has long held a high position, someone who could turn the tide and pacify the court in their past life, is certainly someone with charisma.
Why isn't it updated yet? It's getting really exciting!
I couldn't stand it after reading just a few chapters and dropped it. The author keeps using intimidating auras... It's so unrealistic... And it happens several times in one chapter. Is the author just padding the word count? I really want the author to unleash those so-called auras described in the story. Is this supposed to be a cultivation novel?
I'll be back with an update. I've been eagerly awaiting the completion of this book!
I originally planned to fatten them up first, but I never expected them to become stiff after several years.
It's been updated!
Oh my god! The great master has actually come back to life!
#OnlineNovelFillingPlotsFestivalWishingSeason# Author, your "Empress Dowager" chapter isn't finished yet, remember to come back and write soon...
Authors should at least let the administrators know if they're going to stop updating. The Qidian management should also take note. So many chapters are bought with real money; if there's a reason for not being able to update, please announce the waiting time before the VIP chapter begins. If there's no announcement at all, what kind of behavior is this?
The updates were going so well, why did it suddenly stop again? What's going on? Is the author going to disappear again? Even Lord Cui next door is back to normal now.
Seeing the list of free books, I realized the author is back! Hooray!
