Books I Remember from Following or Getting Recommendations
Books currently being serialized
New-Release Fanatic (Also Recommending Older Books; Please Favorite and Follow~)
As long as I live, I'll keep testing books. As long as Qidian stays open, I'll keep updating this list. I haven't been reading much lately, and I'm pretty picky. My reviews may be slow too, ✍🏻️, but every book I recommend is still carefully chosen. Sometimes, when people look for something to read, they notice something strange: everyone's out of books, yet they still ask each other for recommendations. Isn't this way of huddling together for warmth kind of fun~ I think it's the words that br

Worth a Read
The books on this list aren't ranked. They're listed according to when I read them and the impression they left on me. Finally, thanks to everyone who has followed, commented, or sent flowers. I hope my humble opinions can inspire you all.

Classics and Hidden Gems: Plenty of Quality Reads
A ten-year veteran reader's personal thoughts. Every book gets a long, detailed review discussing its strengths and weaknesses. This list mainly features xianxia and fantasy, with some urban, historical, and other works as well. I recommend both promising new stories and classics. Ratings are based on stars, with six stars as the maximum: ☆☆☆☆☆☆. The ratings place greater weight on the setting. Review criteria: 1. Prose. I don't recommend books with bad writing. Maximum: two stars. ☆☆ 2. Setti
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?
A Colorful World
Gather the blossoms while they're there to pick; don't wait until all the flowers are gone and all you can do is break off bare branches.
Dreamlike Reading List
Where does fate begin? It springs from wonder! The sea of books is boundless, but I’ll take one ladleful. Reading for pleasure has three distinct flavors. [If fate brings us together, feel free to save and follow this list. A like would be much appreciated!]
Personal Recommendations
I've read a lot of novels, and sometimes friends ask me to recommend a few. I think and think, then realize I've forgotten so many of the books I read before. When someone mentions a protagonist's name, I vaguely remember the story, but when they ask for the title, I'm completely stumped. So I made this little list of books I've enjoyed, both ones I remember from before and new ones I come across. Then when friends ask me for recommendations, I can just share the list. Easy and convenient.
Solid Reads for a Reading Slump

Plots and Prose: A Reading List (Including Abandoned Novels)
A great read!
Every Book Is a Gem: Single-Lead and No-Harem Stories
Every book on this list is one I can reread, whether for the protagonist or for the plot. I like nuanced stories with a broad perspective. I like intelligent protagonists who are not idiots. I have been reading on Qidian for a while and wanted to share some of the books I like with everyone, while keeping a list of the works that interest me. My tastes are fairly diverse. It is rare for such fine writing to appear on the page.

Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too. It deals with

My Personal Bookshop
When I’m troubled, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how important happiness is. When I’m angry, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how precious understanding can be. When I’m bored, I pick up a book, and it reminds me how hard it is to find a fulfilling life. Books, you’re so beautiful and wonderful. When will I be as great and learned as you?
Great Novels
For those who love reading, books are a pleasure. The ideas within their pages are an invisible force that shapes your thoughts and outlook. Spend enough time immersed in books and you’ll become thoughtful and perceptive, with broad knowledge, eloquent speech, and refined character. That’s the mark of a well-read person.

Luo Shui is a rare gem among authors; his books are undoubtedly masterpieces. However, his casual writing style and unpredictable update pace make it impossible to keep up, even if you wanted to. Four years to write 177 chapters—that's practically risking your life to follow his updates!
To Luoshui
With so much acclaim, it's not uncommon for a play to have a beginning and an end. What truly makes a performer special is the ability to finish the play even when the audience has dwindled. Hopefully, Luo Shui will be able to complete this book even if no one watches it anymore.
Based on the current worldview, I think this book would conservatively require at least 1200 chapters to finish. At the author's current pace of 300 chapters every 6 years, it would take approximately 18 years to complete.
From the very beginning of "Journey to the North," I admired the author's conception, which is quite different from most works and has a unique perspective. I understand that good books take time to write, but I also hope that the author is considerate of the readers' feelings. After all, with the proliferation of online novels these days, it's not easy to find a good book.
I have a bold idea, please help me get this trending. When One-Handed Zhen went to Thunder Bluff, he happened to encounter a tauren. The tauren had just finished participating in the Undead Expedition and was supposed to teleport to Thunder Bluff in World of Warcraft, but he teleported there by mistake.
What I've always wanted to say to the author but never had the chance
Luo Shui Da Da is now a middle-aged man preoccupied with fame and fortune in front of him and daily necessities behind him. There are too many things we don't want to do but have to do. However, this Mr. Luo still possesses a youthful spirit, which is why I've been following him since I started following Zhibei You. I admire that he doesn't have the greasy slickness and snobbishness of most middle-aged people. May you, years later, still be that young man in white horse and light robes.
Among the vast sea of books on Qidian, only the Records of Mountains and Seas is worth reading.
To share my thoughts, this book, as it stands, has both obvious strengths and weaknesses. Let's start with the strengths: the writing is excellent, the content blends the best of both martial arts and fantasy styles, and incorporates elements of characters from many famous authors, making it highly readable. The original lyrics, in particular, demonstrate a lot of dedication.
Having some free time, I reread *Zhi Bei You* (A Journey to the North), tidied up some sentences and paragraphs, and made a video. Welcome everyone to watch and offer your feedback. https://b23.tv/ghgBFer
It's 2024 already, and I still haven't joined the Supreme Divine Firmament Sect, so I guess I'm still in the early stages 🙂
