Wangcai's Reading Log
A jumble of recommendations and complaints.
Personal Reading List | A Storehouse of Plot-Driven Reads
I prefer stories focused on careers. The most important thing is an interesting plot, followed by a well-rounded one. Good writing means telling a good story, not piling on fancy words. Multiple heroines or romantic ambiguity are major drawbacks for me, though that doesn't mean the list has none.
Twenty Years of Web Novels: Finished Urban Fiction Masterpieces
A list specially recommended for beginners. Seasoned readers have probably read these already, so they can skip it. Top-quality books to start with: completed novels over a million characters long.
Only the Best (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
To help the girls find something to read when they're in a slump. I add books here after I've finished them.

The greatest masterpieces
Worth Reading Again and Again
Books I think have excellent writing and plots, and are worth reading again and again.
Feel-Good Reads
Just my personal taste. No genre restrictions, with books for both male and female audiences.
Some Great Books I've Read
What I think is good might not be, but if everyone likes it, that’s what matters.
A Taste of Delight
Keeping track of novels that have stayed with me.
Lighthearted Reads
I read novels to unwind, so here are a few great ones. They’re lighthearted and have good plots.
Novels with Great Supporting Characters [Mainly No Romance or One Female Lead]
Books worth rereading at least once! I'm a peculiar reader: most people focus on the protagonist, but I like the supporting cast. A good novel creates an entire world. In that world, the protagonist isn't the only one who's brilliant, dashing, or surrounded by admirers. Everyone has their own personality, their own joys and sorrows, and their own constraints. A novel where only the protagonist shines is just the author's wish fulfillment. When the supporting cast shines too, that's a real world!

Who doesn't?
Good Plots, No Major Pitfalls, and the Ones I Remember from Ten Years on Qidian
I've read piles of novels, but can only remember a handful
My Reading List
No romance. I prefer plot-driven stories and steer clear of mindless writing and harems.
Some Books I Recommend
I'm a devoted fan of Butterfly Blue ♥ (Though the updates are so slow now it's making me sick.) At first, this list was mostly Butterfly Blue's books, but I'll gradually add more books I like~ Everyone's welcome to come chat! :)

Reading Diary
Books I've loved over the years
Anti-Qidian
I'm a longtime bookworm, currently in the late stages of sophomore syndrome. Every book I recommend is one I've read. The protagonists all stand out from the usual Qidian crowd: they're decent people, not pathetic losers, and neither naive nor self-indulgent. They're nonconformists on Qidian.

Butterfly's books always have such unappealing beginnings. I've read the beginnings of *Close Combat All-Round* and *Solo Adventure* countless times, and ended up completely hooked, rereading them countless times. Now, after rereading those three books, I'm experiencing a reading slump again. I've read the beginning of this one countless times, but I just can't get into it.
Actually, this is my favorite book!
Although it's cliché, I still admire the tacit understanding and trust between Ye Fan and Ye Ping. Their relationship is so sweet and enviable to readers. It seems only single-female-lead stories can truly showcase a female lead's personality. Unfortunately, it feels like Butterfly Blue (the author) isn't good at writing romantic storylines.
This book was the first novel I read. I think it's better than The King's Avatar. I really like its plot, but it's a pity it's too short.
Why are there only 40 or so comments?
The book contains many hilarious scenes.
Masterpiece
It looks absolutely stunning! 😭😭😭😭
In my opinion, Ye Fan and Ye Ping are the couple with the clearest romantic storyline in all of Butterfly's books.
From their first meeting and growing friendship to their separation, and then their reunion and mutual rescue, the various small details of their interactions, the attitudes of the main characters, and most importantly, the unspoken understanding and tacit agreement between the two main characters, all reveal their deep affection.
I couldn't help but complain halfway through my second viewing.
I read these books five or six years ago in the order of Full-Time Master → Solo Adventure → Starry Night → Net Close. I've reread the other three repeatedly, but not this one. I've completely forgotten the plot of this one. I recently reread it and realized why I had forgotten everything. The protagonist's character was so confusing.
Unfortunately, Ye Ping felt that something was missing from her when she returned compared to before.
