Completed Classics Worth Revisiting During a Reading Slump: Male Protagonist or No Female Lead
As a bookworm whose only hobby is reading novels, I often revisit these books when I can't find anything to read. I recommend them here and hope to chat with fellow fans. My reading preferences: single male protagonist or no female lead. No romantic tension, womanizers, harems, BL, or yuri. Horror and suspense are out, too. Every book on this list is complete, and the story tends to be optimistic. I've read them all at least three times, and they always give me a lift when I'm down or have nothi

Historical Masterpieces
I started reading web novels with *Qie Ming*. Later I read works by Chi Hu and Te Bie Bai, though the latter's stories dragged on too much. Then I came across Ke Shan Meng's *Wan Ming* and Lao Bai Niu's *Xiao Bing*. I just couldn't get through *Xu Nan Ming*, and after that I ran out of things to read. This list is limited to excellent historical novels that are still being serialized. Whether they're good is a matter of personal taste, of course. At least I can keep reading these, and the writin

Books I Admire
I've been reading web novels for five years. I enjoy both big-name authors and niche writers.
Ten Years of Web Novels
I can't even remember what the first web novel I read was. I only know that ten years have passed! The fledgling web novels of those days have grown into the well-developed system we have today. Ten years in the field, a vast range of web novels explored: there's nothing else like it!
A Fantasy Dream for Homebodies
After 20 years of reading, these are the dream books I can't bear to delete. My list already has ten books that have vanished. If you look closely, you can still make out their titles. I can't bring myself to delete them, and I want to share them with everyone. Qidian, on the other hand, has no qualms about deleting them. These are all excellent books! Is there something wrong with my taste? Have I been collecting dangerous material?
A Decade of Web Novels, Completed
I can’t remember what the first web novel I read was, but I know ten years have passed! Those early, rough web novels have developed into the complete system we have today. Ten years of exploring and reading web novels: there’s nothing else quite like them!

What a shameless, disgusting protagonist
All booked
Although I haven't seen it, is there any value for adding a game 😁
Good book
The writing style is excellent among similar works, and the character creation pursues reality, but in this age of pursuing "cleanliness", it is normal for it to be scolded. The treatment of a historical figure can easily become controversial, even if the historical figure is controversial in the first place. The farming part and the combat part in the book can reflect each other with Lingao Qiming, and the subsequent technical route will also influence each other with the Xinshun series. The cool thing about the time-travel literature in the late Ming Dynasty is that it makes up for the missing modern development history of China. Our entire modern science and technology culture is almost entirely foreign and has nothing of our own; another cool thing is actually nationalism. One of the most readable works of this kind I have seen so far.
It seems to be a good deal to order this. Now it is cdkey28. If you don't want to play with it, you can buy it second hand.
Extremely outrageous
Damn it, this book is so damn toxic. The writing in the early stage was quite good, but in the later stage it was all nonsense and ridiculously clever. They all suspect that the author was kidnapped to write such an outrageous plot. That's so outrageous, fuck
I really can't stand it. The protagonist lacks basic humanity and is quite demonic.
Why did this book appear again?
Nice book, is it sealed or something?
I just want to ask those who praise the protagonist, are you willing to make friends with such a cruel person?
Haven't seen the follow-up
Will Yuan Gouguan be killed next?
Why do I remember that this book was blocked and why it was released again?
